After watching, I had to edit a few times and I like when Lex has a variety of guests – edit

Craig Jones is my hero

1:52:00

CJ is a hero to every man who ever slid into a dm. Seriously though, especially as more wrestlers enter the bjj space, using the boundary is a real strategy and limiting that with layout is really smart

1:44:24 I love this section
Really great stuff
Craig Jones is extremely intelligent

Great interview!

“I thrive in loosing environment” 😂

Happens to me all the time in Muay Thai. I am a bigger muscular guy and mannn some people want to spar hard and its like dawg i aint trying to get concussion. I kind of wish sparring was more light on the head, liver, and the kidney then legs that can take more of a beating thats fine. So many times Ive had to tell people take it easy especially the younger folks where the no pain no gain mentality its like bro that is so overrated. Awesome episode. Craig Jones is the man!

One of the best things about craig, is his ability to tear someone to shreds with humour but at the same time still acknowledge their brilliance, while sounding and also being genuine in what he says.

Lex is interrogating Craig. You need help speaking to "normal" people

Come get me

Craig Jones is an awesome guy and guest.

Personally I find Lex a boring interviewer.

7:02 poor fucking horse 😂

You look sexy ❤

Rogans podcast with Craig was so much worse than this

"..Especially a middle-aged man in underwear, with a beer belly doing a sundance….at dusk. That would frighten many people.."

Craig would be incredible as a stand-up comic lol

Craig Jonessiiieeee

Thomas Jennifer Lopez Jason Lewis Linda

The impossible is happening in Palestine all the time for decades..#FreePalestine #STOPtheGENOCIDE 🇵🇸

I miss Anthony Bourdain so damn much.

OKolook oil

I thought it was Craig Jones from Slipknot =

Great event! Changes jiu jitsu course forever. And big thanks for supporting Ukraine ❤
