The entire bjj community was buzzing once Geo Martinez fell out of Kasai match up with AJ Agazarm. Even though the general public wants to see Nicky in the match up – and Nicky agreed.

This it to everyone out there who continues to say that I don’t deserve the match with AJ because he already beat me at adcc. It’s true that he did beat me fair and square UNDER THE ADCC RULESET. I went Into his preferred​ ruleset (points) and he beat me. Now let’s see what happens when he comes into my preferred ruleset which is subonly. I’ve already accepted the match, so the only thing we’re waiting on is him.

Ultimately the match went to Gilbert Burns who AJ Agazarm request matches.

This week I’m having a great family vacation and so much fun, but today I had to give a lil break and put my Gi on to learn from the one and only @galvaobjj as he was teaching a seminar at one of my very first Black Belts @fernandoloorvera what a day, learned a lot and remembered great times with both with Andre back in Rio Claro, São Caetano and San Diego and with Fernando here in Charlotte! . . . Hoje foi irado! Essa semana estive de férias com a família, mas hoje tive que dar uma pausa nas férias e colocar o kimono pra aprender com o sinistro @galvaobjj aqui em Charllote NC com um dos meus primeiros faixas pretas o “Feio” @fernandoloorvera foi irado! Aprendi vários detalhes e varias passagens novas rs, e relembramos varias historias!! Foi irado!!
