      Yeah, Craig is hilarious in a genuinely clever way. He doesn't just have to rely on being loud and shocking like a kid who just learned to swear like a lot of combat sports guys. I don't know or care that much about the Jiu Jitsu drama, but I'll listen to his interviews every time because he's both funny and honest.
