Just the other day Wolverine bragged to flograppling how obsessed with bjj he was:

“Ottavia keeps me grounded, reminds me that I love jiu-jitsu,” Cummings said. “She’ll say, ‘What, you want to go back into math or physics?’

“My quality of life would probably be better if I did those things, but I don’t love these things like I love jiu-jitsu. I love talking about it, teaching, researching. I do this all day.”

We wish Cummings and others injured in the preparation a quick recovery.
