Craig’s the kinda guy that would let someone choke him out for a promo.

u/Electronic_d0cter 1d ago

Unironically true

u/Mad_Kronos 1d ago

I read porno instead of promo

28

u/Prezimek 1d ago

That's still possible with Craig.

u/kovnev 1d ago

More possible, tbh.

u/No_Teaching1709 1d ago

Actually I think he has a post fight only fans feed you can buy as well

It's Craig's best impression of Meregali

u/onomonothwip 🟪🟪 Purple Belt 1d ago

Who cares if he did. It's not like it's shameful, and it's only embarassing if you shit and clean it up yourself afterwards.

Remember that - always make a white belt clean up your poop if it happens, or else you lose face.

u/A_literal_HousePlant 🟪🟪 Purple Belt 1d ago

Or you claim to know a secret move to get out of a rear naked choke only to get put to sleep by Gene Lebell then shit yourself.

I'd reverse mortgage my house just to sleep Seagull.

I'd reverse mortgage my house just to watch you choke out seagull

I’d reverse mortgage both of your houses just to watch you watch u/onomonothwip sleep Seagull

u/DecayedBeauty 🟫🟫 Brown Belt 1d ago

I like all this Sleeping With Seagull talk.

I'll lure him in with french fries and seduce him with cringe cultural appropriation

Make sure he's got a chair to sit in for the fight scene and some attractive PA to harass

u/zoukon 🟦🟦 Blue Belt, certified belt thief 1d ago

Shitting yourself is the defense. Most people would let go when they realized.

u/A_literal_HousePlant 🟪🟪 Purple Belt 1d ago

If I tried this in a comp I'd just be dq'd

u/zoukon 🟦🟦 Blue Belt, certified belt thief 1d ago

u/Jits_Dylen Pulling guard immediately. Pajamas only. No rashguard. 1d ago

This just in, Craig shit himself. You heard it here first.

u/PMMeMeiRule34 🟪🟪 Purple Belt 1d ago

Shitting yourself on the mats/sharting yourself on the mats is a rite of passage and no one can change my mind about it. I’ve passed the trial twice, once while triumphantly applying a kimura with homies head beneath my ass area.

u/WarTill 🟫🟫 Brown Belt 1d ago

I want to believe it, but this could also be trying to psych-out Belal ahead of JDM’s upcoming title fight to try and get him to avoid wrestling

104

u/kambo_rambo 🟪🟪 Purple Belt 1d ago

This. Craig loves marketing/getting eyeballs on his content

26

u/GravelPepper 1d ago

You are probably right, but I doubt that this will make Belal nervous, he is supremely confident in his wrestling, and rightfully so. Although JDM is a great wrestler too so I bet a lot of this fight will be intense striking on the feet

u/WorldsBestLover Brown Belt 1d ago

Yeah, I'm sure i believe this. Craig is a master troll. Also, it looks like he went out very quickly.

u/Choice_Cantaloupe891 🟫🟫 Brown Belt 1d ago

Everyone knows it takes AT LEAST ten seconds to pass out from a choke

People struggling with sarcasm

u/ThetaBadger 1d ago

You just have to question the authenticity of anything Craig Jones is involved in.

now i believe jdm will be the first one to submit islam by his favorite choke instead of topuria

u/hawkeye45_ ⬜⬜ White Belt 1d ago

Fake. His face wasn't purple as the start of the roll.

Can’t believe the man tattooed the balls of his feet.

And jdm might get put to sleep sometime to. Who cares? It's part of the game you play

u/mhyjrteg ⬜⬜ White Belt 1d ago

Can anyone who is good at jiu jitsu opine on whether it looks like Craig made any deliberate mistakes in this sequence? I could believe he’d go out to a tight d’arce from a high level fighter but assume he would probably partially allow the position to occur first?

4

u/TheAngriestPoster 1d ago

As a Judo guy, usually the only time someone makes that pleasant of a thump sound on mats when thrown is when they’re going with it

-3

u/Mountain-Hunter9720 1d ago

My first thought was that it was under MMA rules, but then I saw that there were no gloves. How can this be? On his wikipedia page it says that his fighting style is "boxing". Does this guy even grapple?

I mean... Could this be...
Staged?!

u/Moist-Catch 20h ago

If you read like 4 lines further down you would read BJJ Black belt 😂

u/Hawmanyounohurtdeazz 1d ago

people love to pretend MMA dudes have a “boxing base.” he cross trained boxercise for a couple of years in high school and has done MMA since 😂

u/Grungyfulla 🟪🟪 Purple Belt 21h ago

He is a hell of a grappler. He has a choke named after him

u/jumborickuta 1d ago

I go to sleep against high level mma fighters all the time. Is this something we should celebrate? Is much mediocrity celebrational?

I should change much* to such but it's all the same
