Eddie Bravo: Founder of 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu, MMA commentator, and creator of Combat Jiu-Jitsu; longtime Joe Rogan friend and conspiracy enthusiast.
What this episode covers
Eddie Bravo joins Joe Rogan for a three-hour conversation that opens with Joe's newfound football obsession after his first NFL game and quickly turns to fighting. They dig deep into MMA and grappling history, K1 kickboxing, Muay Thai, bare-knuckle fighting, and old Pride and UFC fights, arguing for tournament formats and rule changes like knees to a grounded opponent. The talk wanders into conspiracies and politics, Russia and China, fluoride in water, homelessness in California, and taxes. Later sections cover dangerous animals, feral hogs and hunting, dog nutrition, fasting and the carnivore diet, and Eddie's spinal disc replacement and his back recovery through Joe Hippensteel's stretching method.
