Mateusz Szczecinski wins Polaris, ADCC next? | Ep.41
Patreon: https://patreon.com/UnknownPressures | The Polish leg locker extraordinaire Mateusz Szczecinski showed why he's one of the most dangerous submission specialists in the game at the Polaris Welterweight Grand Prix, submitting two out of three opponents and taking the $30k cash prize.

Kron Gracie, John Danaher, Gordon Ryan & The Jiu-Jitsu AI Conspiracy | Ep.40
We've heard some pretty wild stuff over the years, but never has one of the very best coaches in the game been accused of taking shortcuts by using artificial intelligence to create a champion. That's exactly what Kron Gracie said about John Danaher in an unexpected rant that led to a flamewar with Gordon Ryan. It's so preposterous that it's hard to believe we ended up talking about it in this episode, but hey, this is jiu-jitsu after all, you never know what to expect. Plus in this episode: The upcoming Polaris Welterweight Grand Prix A recap of ACB, Russia's biggest pro grappling event Top grapplers you need to know from the Caucasus region Another jiu-jitsu coach arrested for horrific crimes The good and bad of jiu-jitsu (there's more good than bad) Episode 40 of Unknown Pressures is out now on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and everywhere else.
