The cop was obviously struggling so the BJJ student stepped in and even told the officer what to do. This was in San Antonio, Texas. The student in the video trains at House of Jiujitsu Academy in downtown San Antonio. This man is Mark Gonzales. It's a little concerning when a guy whose a grappler by hobby is having to instruct a peace officer whose daily work involves this regularly. It's got a lot of folks thinking.

So basically Sean Strickland's buddy was picking at him about a tweet Sean deleted and this unfolded. Sean makes it very clear with statements like - "you're just a baby lamb put on this earth to be eaten." And "if me and you met up and I had one free pass, I'd take your soul." What kind of medieval biblical smack talk is Sean Strickland laying on this man? I feel like Sean Strickland is a Baptist preacher and I'm stuck in sermon at the front and he keeps pointing to me, telling me what the devil is gonna do to me. Sean Strickland is like the Silverback you encounter on a safari, but on Twitter. Steve Erwin accent and everyone - "be very careful, don't make eye contact. He'll get very angry." So yeah. Good thing Mr. Strickland has pursued a career in violence because otherwise I can't really see what this guy might be happy doing. Besides maybe being a butcher or a creepy graveyard grounds keeper. Fight.TV wants to know what you think Sean Strickland would be doing for a career if combat sports didn't exist. Share and comment what you think! Also maybe best to avoid him after you do.

Alex Peirera isn't as widely known as Israel because he's fought for promotions other than the UFC but he's still one of the best pound for pound ranked fighters in the world and in the top of his weightclass.

This would most certainly be a main card fight and one the fans would love. Alex Peirera is one hell of a fighter and the UFC spotlight could really showcase him to the rest of the world outside the immediate fight community. Do you think Peirera should be allowed to challenge Israel on his UFC debut or should he have to climb ranks in the promotion? Who would be a good first MMA fight for Alex Peirera?

Big John McCarthy has found himself at the end of professional wrestling fans swords. He was making a statement about recent Olympic wrestling phenom Gable Stevenson's pondering over a career in WWE or UFC and said - "Yeah it’s been done before, but ask Kurt what’s a regret he has & not competing in MMA would be one. Don’t take great athletiç ability and all those years of training and throw them away to be a stuntman that loses when the boss says you lose. You can always do fake stuff later." WWE & fight fans didn't take too kindly to hearing Big John call their beloved pass time fake. After many comments and some exchanged words Big John came back out and said "You are absolutely right, when I say fake, I am not talking about the bumps and falls and all of the athleticism it takes to do what is done in Pro Wrestling. I am talking about Pre-Determined outcomes, where true talent can take a back seat to a whim.. I stand corrected" We forgive you Big John, the outcomes of professional wrestling are fake and you can acknowledge that fact while simultaneously respecting professional wrestling and it's athleticism / showmanship.

Joe Rogan is no stranger to hard hitting opinions. Sometimes they land him in hot water, other times he gets praise but regardless he's not afraid to speak his mind and that's why many love him. He recently had to change the date of a comedy show around the corner and went on social media to explain why - "I got back from the road Saturday night feeling very weary. I had a headache and I just felt just rundown. Just to be cautious, I separated from my family, slept in a different part of the house. Throughout the night, I got fevers and sweats and I knew what was going on. I got up in the morning, got tested and turns out I got COVID. So we immediately threw the kitchen sink at it,” Rogan said. “All kinds of meds. Monoclonal antibodies, ivermectin, Z-pak, prednisone, everything. I also got an NAD drip and a vitamin drip and I did that three days in a row and so here we are on Wednesday and I feel great.” Looks like Joe had a very minor run in with the virus. We hope he continues to recover and makes it back on the road soon! Follow us at fight.tv for more fight news and analysis!

Jonah with GQ on 10 Things I can't Live Without "I can't live without my Jiujitsu Gi. I hit a point in my life, in my like early to mid-30s where I was like, if I don’t start like developing hobbies and sh*t, I’m going to be one of those people that only likes to work and I can fall into the workaholic category. So I was like, wouldn’t it be cool if the things I chose were things I was really scared of my whole life? So the first one was jujitsu. I trained with Josh at Clockwork, who’s an amazing guy, and then also Kenny Florian, who’s an amazing guy. I was lucky enough to train with such great people, got me over that fear and then that led to me breaking my fear of surfing. I think the hardest thing in the world to do is to be present, for me And the two things I like to do, if you are not present, you will literally get fucked up, so, like, it forces me to be present both things and jujitsu definitely. You will literally get choked out if you’re thinking about, like, some sh*t you did two years ago that you’re bummed about, you know? I learned early on, if I roll in a class, everyone wants the story of I choked out Jonah Hill. I had to learn fast, like, it’s a story to basically beat the sh*t out of me, so I was like, I’m also going to pull up in a peach gi, so like, you know, I’m this whatever dude. I’m not trying to be like a tough guy. I just am out here having fun. And most of the time, I got to say, culturally, people have been really, really f*ckin’ cool.” Jonah is a world famous actor and producer whose been in some of Hollywood's biggest hit films.
