Starting BJJ at 18 is one thing, starting MMA at 30 and developing world class striking might be hard but I would really love to see her fight in MMA or even CJJ

This is incredible, so happy for Ffion. Getting a dream fight, fighting for equal men and women's pay, getting paid what SHE DESERVES. Craig you are awesome. Mo, you are a caveman.

Fighters deserve what they bring in. Men bring in more money, that’s why they get payed more. It’s not that deep

@@cristobalbalenciaga7295 guess we will find out if that’s true at CJI. Ronda Rousey brought in 1.1 million PPV buys twice. Tate Nunes brought in over a million PPV buys.. Jones hasn’t even gotten close to 1 Million. This isn’t the WNBA and the NBA.

Been an mma fan since ufc 1 but just recently got into Bjj mostly due to all the content available on youtube. One of my favourite Bjj athletes is Ffion. She seems to be a really nice person off the mats but she is a very accomplished Bjj athlete on the mats.

Ffion might be the best in the world not named Gordon Ryan but it's tough to compare. Easily the best woman in the world. I expect her to pass, back take and sub Dern (who is incredible aswell).
