On a local MMA card, what would you guys think of 1-2 BJJ super fights?
Last Sunday we did 2 BJJ bouts in the cage as part of our MMA card. No gi, submission only, 6 minute time limit.
Would like longer than 6 minutes, but felt it was just about what an MMA crowd may accept.
I personally love BJJ. Lots of great gyms in So Cal.
What do you guys think?
would be interesting, nice way to mix up a card, however like u stated casual fans unfortunately would grow restless... perhaps as the new fox crowd is educated in mma starting with this november card, a larger, more supportive group will rise that also would like to see this come to fruition on occasional cards around the U.S, i think it would be a welcome idea though
that being said, u know there will be those saying, well if there's bjj bouts on the card why arent there any muay thai bouts? or kickboxing bouts, etc...
great topic op ttt
I used to do it on a show. It works. Sometimes is a good time filler for people to get up and stuff. 
thats actually pretty great idea i'd say... mix up the combat a little, help anyone who is interested in watching it understand other aspects of what is included in MMA.
why not throw in some wrestling also/or? perhaps just straight Kickboxing as well?
really like the idea
edit: oorrrr what Omar said lol
As a fan,I think it`s a horrible idea.
Depends on the crowd.
Cool idea though.
Actually seen this happen. Guy gashes himself the night before a big show in Greenville, SC. Instead of pulling the bout, they set up a grappling match that turned out to be one of the more entertaining fights on a pretty good card.
They did it during some Pride FCs in Japan.
And it was done when the Garv faced off against tjmitch -- BJJ in a cage!
The crowd was definitely a bit more quiet, but no one booed or said anything disrespectful.
I got a lot of great feedback on the BJJ even from folks I know who don't train it.
A few friends asked why not Muay Thai or other stuff and I guess there is a point to that. I just feel well connected to the BJJ world in So Cal and enjoy it so that's how it started.
It wouldn`t be as bad if done as an exibition during intermission.But having it as part of the card is a mistake IMHO.
Yeah, I've thought about doing the BJJ matches during intermission, but at the same time don't want to take away from them. But I understand the concept.
Thanks for all the thoughts!
