Luke Thomas is one of the most influential MMA analysts in the game and the host of The Morning Kombat Podcast. I was delighted to talk to him today about

  • How the sport of MMA has changed - The rise of Eastern European fighters - Why is terrible behaviour of MMA fighters tolerated - Can other MMA organisations ever rival the UFC - Drug testing in the UFC - Fighter unions and the Ali Expansion Act - What Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson means for combat sports - And more! Check out Luke Thomas's Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/ @LukeThomas

And, if you have a second, please follow my two outdoor adventure accounts to make my book publisher happy! https://www.youtube.com/@essentialwilderness and https://www.instagram.com/essentialwilderness should do the trick!

Thanks ever so much,

Stephan Kesting

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
