This is absolutely wild. There's so many cult gyms and shady grappling tournaments that exploit incredible athletes for their gain. Craig was given an opportunity to pull the rug and didn't hesitate. This tournament is so much bigger then the money. So many gyms force students to do this or support that. I hope this shows future generations their value and helps get kids out of terrible gyms looking for their next payment. Gyms should be a community, a family, a place to heal, and learn.
Is anyone doing more to make BJJ the second greatest sport in the world than Craig! He should induct himself into the CJI hall of fame at the end of the event and bump a line off the medal 😂
There's a legacy of this starting in Brazil. My old coach Joe Moreira started the pan ams against all the corrupt tournaments and then that was bought out by Carlos Gracie. Now it's the dumbest most expensive comp. Then Eddie bravo was inspired by the comps Joe started. That's how I was told it went. It's all hearsay though.
I love the point that Craig made on one of the interviews this past week (might have been on MK) but he says that by having it on TH-cam they’ll be able to see the numbers and can use that as leverage. I wish all platforms had public viewing numbers like TH-cam it would totally help creators, athletes, aka anyone actually creating the content to be able to get better deals.
That's 10k before taxes and insurance. You might break even after everything. 10k is a depressing amount of money. It's too much to refuse, but not enough to be useful.
and adcc provides hotel rooms to best grapplers for free and they get to share it with strangers . how amazing would it be? thats how festivals should be very exciting!!
What trance does the BJJ world have on people that there is even a debate on which tournament to do for some of these athletes? This is a massive opportunity, lets fucking go Craig!
The problem is the cultmindset that runs _DEEP_ in bjj So people will stand by adcc even knowing it’s robbing athletes in favor of the organizers pocketing cash
Craig may be one of the most interesting people alive. Have never followed bjj much at all, but I cannot stop watching this guys controlled chaos. I love it lmao
@asherwitherup7476 maybe. he is known for telling guys where they can compete. Remember all the junior senior member bulshit. Dudes got kicked off team for accepting EBi spots back in the day
They would be fools not to participate. Ty can fight over 80 and kade under, they can both win. Also they are still very young to do many adccs if CJI flops
Wishing Nicky Ryan a speedy recovery. I think by now he's so accustomed to dealing with injury and so technical that he'll perform well at CJI even if he's not quite 100%. I'm getting the impression that athletes who win ADCC trials don't automatically get an invite to ADCC and some athletes are worried about not being invited back to ADCC if they compete in CJI this year. If that impression is correct it really takes the credibility away from ADCC as an organisation. If you are supposed to represent "the Olympics of BJJ" you must always accept the best to compete - irrespective of your personal feelings towards them!
I will not be watching ADCC. I won’t even care how Gordon Ryan or anyone does. Wouldn’t be surprised if he signs up for this too, lmao. Craig Jones has completely changed the game. There is no going back from this. Get ready, folks. A LOT of Jiu jitsu schools are going to be opening up as a result of Craig’s tournament. Mark my words.
Jeeeeez, chris with a sleep token shirt, craig injuring nicky, craig being a sourcerer with Declan, joe saying he's never seen a million. So much going on in one vid
We all know his mom handles his finances. I was laughing so hard when he says he knows about that stuff. He knows nothing I bet. His mom is a very smart I’m guessing because she handles all of his finances and does all of those investments. He literally admitted it one time.
Dude Nicky just take a fucking break and do your rehab man. You're just starting your 20s with the joint health of a 40 year old athlete. Take a break, rehab, come back stronger with more longevity in your joints. It's scary dude
ANNOUNCEMENT: A custom 2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata will be the prize for second place. (The car will be purchased with the loose hundreds that slipped out of the straps on Rogan.) To sweeten the deal, the car will be parked inside Thomas & Mack, ready to be given away like the Price is Right. All I see is SILVER. 🥈
Hopefully there isn’t any animosity with the B team guys if one wins the loot. Especially if someone gets hurt in training leading up to the event. I’m stoked for this. It’s going to be absolute war!
Common dude! If your net worth is over $200 million you definitely have gone to the bank to get 1 million in cash just to have it…. He’s fooling people for years with his pod cast.. always bring the guy who doesn’t know anything 😂😂😂
@@cacaulaymulkin7724 he said he hv never seen that amount of money lol...when he was recently re- signed to soptify for 250 million dollars for 2 yrs....hahaha
CJ invites Nicky for $1M then injures him in training 😂 big bro move
I your case more of a big sis move
It's so Nicky Ryan's older brother doesn't have to face Gordon Ryan's little brother in the Absolute.
Craig is the Heath Ledger Joker of BJJ.
The Joker wears Craig Jones pajamas to bed.
Heath ledger is the craig jones of the banana instructinal of jhon danaher
😂😂😂😂@@monkoko6441
Ew. No
It’s not about money it’s about sending a message
Silver medal should be biggest
The podium should def have silver as the highest platform
That would be a hilarious plot twist
You should be the smallest
Craig to gabbi "that silver butt plug must remind you of me" is the kind of self depreciating humor I like 😅
Ive watched more craig jones content than i have ufc 302 content this week.
Big props to the guy editing this, I like the mix of rolls with vlog videos, it's genuinely as good as a ufc embedded episode, great job
Really man?
@@oldironsides4107 Yes
The Loki of Grappling damn he nailed it. 6:20
No, no Loki. Just authentic
Its a Jungian "Trickster" archetype symbol

😂🎉
Ayooo, Gabi’s wilding 😂😂😂😂
Craig Jones, doing Gods work
I respect what he’s doing. Change is never easy.

Sorry guys i cant watch this amazing tournament because im going to be busy watching black belts kill each other over 10k 🤣🤣🤣
5k for females
That's 10k before taxes and insurance. You might break even after everything. 10k is a depressing amount of money. It's too much to refuse, but not enough to be useful.

10k ... No money at all ... Insane. These guys deserve so much more
@@DrHarbirSinghcrime
One tournament gains you clout the other gets you a million dollars. Craig is bringing BJJ out of the dark and into the light. I cant wait to watch!
This will be my first BJJ event that i watch.
What trance does the BJJ world have on people that there is even a debate on which tournament to do for some of these athletes? This is a massive opportunity, lets fucking go Craig!
The problem is the cultmindset that runs _DEEP_ in bjj

God dammit nicky! Hopefuly that injury isnt too bad.
Craig may be one of the most interesting people alive. Have never followed bjj much at all, but I cannot stop watching this guys controlled chaos. I love it lmao
Gotta love Craig, trolling on and off the mat, making history and entertain us all, all in one
Craig is the man, love how sarcastic and self-deprecating he is
My favorite part about this is the new wave cronies probably want to compete but lizardlord danaher won’t let them. W E A K 😂
Nah John Is smart and much more humble than Gordon, I’m sure if enough high level guys go to CJI he will let them if they choose
@@asherwitherup7476 lol idk about more humble. Met the guy, heard him on pods…not so sure about that
@asherwitherup7476 maybe. he is known for telling guys where they can compete. Remember all the junior senior member bulshit. Dudes got kicked off team for accepting EBi spots back in the day
@@armedjoy3045 I rest my case. First time I met him was at an EBI actually
What is EBI? I am new to jujitsu
What a breath of fresh air. All my favorite grapplers in an event of their own. Birds of a feather
Making BJJ entertaining. Genius.
This man is a gift to the world.
The biggest risk I see in this video is CJ walking around without a case on his phone.
No rubber case, rubber guard or rubbers
@@craigjones8662 Just Rubber bands for the BRICKS hahaha
Just how it is when you're badass
I really hope that Craig and gabby make a super baby afterwards.
What an absolute specimen
This would be the future!
Can't bc she is really a he
I hope they make a super baby right there during the match.
@@doccdisrepecc7307 there is still time to amend the contracts. 🤞🏽
Waiting on the rutolo twins announcement for CJI
They would be fools not to participate. Ty can fight over 80 and kade under, they can both win. Also they are still very young to do many adccs if CJI flops
Man I hope so
I doubt they will be able to with ONE . I think they make an exception for ADCC but I doubt they let them for CJI
I thought I seen today they are in
@@jasonbass2023 I wanted it to happen and it happened
Im 19 and I poped my ankle and it has never been the same I hope Nicky gets better!
Dude how tf isn’t more people talking about that nasty pop narley
If he taps Gabi on fight and after fight for me is a G.O.A.T. In all combat sports

Craig is helping the sport grow. 💯
12:26 CJ always speaking from the heart... "I can't win it!"👍
I’ve said it once & I’ll say it again. CJ is a national treasure. FCJ.
My man Chris is a fan of Sleep Token. Much love!
Love the BTS stuff, can't wait to see more
Wow! This is truly incredible for the sport. Thank you Craig and team for making this happen!
History is being written before us
Congrats on understanding how history works 😂
Craig Jones is such a Legend
This is awesome more vlogs please
Mid fight, she will plug him.
Are you kidding me? That will only put him into his final form, that would be a terrible move on her part
@@ManOfMiniHats The catalyst
If Craig doesn't decide otherwise 🤣🤣🤣🤣
craig is living in a simulation
He’s winning the simulation
We are in his simulation
This is going to be so historic I can’t wait

Hearing Chris talk abt Craig is dope. Both standup gents
I am hooked already
You should do silver, bronze and aluminum for medals
Forget the money ive never seen this angle of rogans studio.
Jeeeeez, chris with a sleep token shirt, craig injuring nicky, craig being a sourcerer with Declan, joe saying he's never seen a million. So much going on in one vid
Craig and Gabbi need to secretly date if they aren’t already 😂😂😂😂😂
I am so damn excited man
When do the glasses come out. I’m going to Columbia next move and would love to have a pair of those bad boys before my trip.
Semen is the new Demon
Craig u need to get on the full send pod those boys would love u and there audience already loves mma
Sugar Shaun and Bradley martyn pods will help u get more attention also good luck
Nicky Ryan always gets "hurt" before big competitions because he can't handle the pressure.
Roberto Jimenez🔥🔥🔥
Love this.
nicky ryan better win. hes already put a down payment on 500k of bitcoin
We all know his mom handles his finances. I was laughing so hard when he says he knows about that stuff. He knows nothing I bet. His mom is a very smart I’m guessing because she handles all of his finances and does all of those investments. He literally admitted it one time.
@@youtubeconnollyfamily lolol his moms comments on instagram dont prove that his mom is that smart so idk i just wish nicky nothing but the best
@@youtubeconnollyfamily doesn't mean he can't learn it though..
Crypto is just a gamble. A gamble you have to be in. Everything I put into crypto I am prepared to lose

Good job on pushing ADCC!
We do love Ffion!
Dude Nicky just take a fucking break and do your rehab man. You're just starting your 20s with the joint health of a 40 year old athlete. Take a break, rehab, come back stronger with more longevity in your joints. It's scary dude
True but with CJI on the horizon, there’s no way he’s slowing down rn

Holy shit every part of this was amazing 😂😂😂
Saunders VS Moody for the Battle Of Down Under Superfight 🦘🇦🇺🤝
That ankle pop
Cj is bjjs hero 👊🏻👍🏻
Awesome stuff
I would bet my CJI winnings it’s Zuck sponsoring this tournament.
9:28 was my favorite.
I cannot believe it. This man is a menace! 🤣
Craig is the man
Second should get the mil.
2:17 Craig rigging the tournament already.
Nicky couldn't be trusted with that money anyways
Protect this man
Genius move!
12:10 Craig rolling like a drug lord....😆💵
Couple more bands, Craig got the vans warped tour in his bag
Hopefully there isn’t any animosity with the B team guys if one wins the loot. Especially if someone gets hurt in training leading up to the event. I’m stoked for this. It’s going to be absolute war!
Honestly, this is shaping up to be way bigger than ADCC...
Gabi and Craig.... True 💕 story.
What’s the ruleset? What techniques are illegal? What criteria are you using to score the rounds?
Mma based scoring that’s pretty much all I know for a fact
where do we buy the tickets? can someone post link? thanks
Nicky ain’t paying CG’s. “I’m spending 990,00 by December”
Joe” I have never seen so much money in my life” Also Joe” net worth $200 million” keep fooling us Joe….🤣🤣🤣
He pretty fuckin obviously meant cash
Common dude! If your net worth is over $200 million you definitely have gone to the bank to get 1 million in cash just to have it…. He’s fooling people for years with his pod cast.. always bring the guy who doesn’t know anything 😂😂😂
@@markusmotivation how tf would you know 😂💀
Early nicknames for CJI: "Dual Escape", "IBP", "Luta Kraga". -Feodor
I like how Joe pretends 1 million is a lot 😂
He's such a nice guy
1 million IS a lot. Do you have 1 mill? I sure as fuck dont lol
@@cacaulaymulkin7724 he said he hv never seen that amount of money lol...when he was recently re- signed to soptify for 250 million dollars for 2 yrs....hahaha
Walking around with that amount of money is mad crazy
Nicky boy 1:20 🥦🥦
I heard that!
Marcelo García?! Come on! You could build that Hawaii academy. Aum and oss
Craig Jones for Senate!
Coinbase on the white board! 😀
so good
If this goes to plan for Craig then it will really take the spotlight off Gordon at ADCC which is a supervillain move right there.
Well said
2:39 “…and Nicky Ryan out of CJI”
where can we get the spoon sunglasses???
What brand of sunglasses are they
