  • Drugged In Colombia, Escaping Jail & Defeating UFC Wrestling - Craig Jones - #950

    Craig Jones is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athlete, owner of B-Team and Founder of the Craig Jones Invitational.

    From wild nights in Medellín to ketamine trips with Ethiopian locals, Craig Jones has turned his life into a world of fun and chaos. From rolling with legends, clowning on traditions, and building a jiu-jitsu empire that’s as unorthodox as it is elite, Craig proves every day that you can be world-class without following the old playbook.

    Expect to learn what happened to Craig Jones while in Colombia, what it was like meeting Pablo Escobar’s sister, why Craig Jones was in Ethiopia and doing ketamine with the locals, why Craig got an MS13 Tattoo and why he subsequently went missing for a while, the biggest updates from the world of BJJ, UFC, and wrestling, Craigs thoughts on Greg Souders, Jon Jones & Gordon Ryan and much more…
