These sports should necessitate steroid use. People whine about the muscle gains but their whine purposefully chooses to forget what weight classes are. Steroids make for longevity and health in a sport intended to destroy their athletes. The idea that you can just get rid of steroids is an idealism not rooted in reality. They made heroin illegal and you end up with a fentanyl epidemic.

Exactly. I love BJJ and submission grappling and it changed my life but every other martial art is laughing at BJJ and how embarrassing it is. Taking steroids to compete in a martial art that can easily injure, cripple and kill someone should be illegal and attempted murder. The board gotta be the biggest smooth brained peanut sized heads I’ve ever seen. You get paired up against literal super soldiers that can easily crank submissions and cripple you. Giving people biological weapons. How is any of that martial arts? BJJ is one of the hardest martial arts to get black belt in and I’m up for the challenge but competing in this sport has way more risk especially at the higher levels. It’s truly sad, I love BJJ, which is why I’m so frustrated seeing how this is being handled. Many talented grapplers don’t even compete because it’s not worth it and it’s truly a shame
@@espartajodesastroso7892 Exactly. Its a multi-faceted issue. This sport, and for that matter, most sports that aren't heavily test will always have steroids be at the forefront.

When high level people in any domain or discipline are honest and vulnerable like Mikey, it shows kids that they can do it too if they work hard. It's okay to be afraid, to feel pressure, to falter. But you can choose to stay committed to your ideals. It's an adventure worth going on.
Mikey displays the truth about jiu-jitsu in regard to submission grappling and being the kind of person who represents the art, the sport, and the truth. By telling the truth and showing the truth.

Guess Gordon doesn't get the gist of calling someone a rat Mikey wasn't in trouble he's not trying to save his ass. He just wants to clear up and protect the next generation for messing with gear. I mean sht look at Gordon with all of his intestinal issues you can't tell me that's a 'just because' issue. Respect to dude for sticking to his word and what he believes in
Why would people hate on this man for NOT doing STEROIDS? They should be hating on people for using peds. It's the cheaters mindset. If you have to cheat then you shouldn't be competing or compete in something less challenging like become a businessman.
Mikey is the definition of a silent killer. He’s just such a nice well rounded man from what obviously iv seen since iv never met him personally. He’s just a stand up dude that brings no bullshit and calls out the bullshit

In a world full of falsity, what a breath of fresh air. An athlete who is clearly great at what he does, but who hasn't sacrificed his honesty, decency, or humanity. I hope he keeps winning, but he's already won. God bless him and his life.
I love this kid!
He’s an adult man not a kid
Your awesome Mike ....keep working hard.... looking forward to seeing your future
i fucking love this guy
When high level people in any domain or discipline are honest and vulnerable like Mikey, it shows kids that they can do it too if they work hard. It's okay to be afraid, to feel pressure, to falter. But you can choose to stay committed to your ideals. It's an adventure worth going on.
and on another note, Mikey's stand on steroids is top notch.
it's nice to hear someone speak like an adult for a change. I like this young man.
Admirable, agreeing on the roids part
@jxxxhybecause there definitely fighters out there who wouldn't win without steroids. Romero and Lesnar being a couple of them
@jxxxhy let me guess, jon 🦆 jones fanboy right?
@jxxxhy skill is 90% of what wins a match, but steroids give a huge advantage at a high level like these guys
All I know is Mikey is the definition of a true humbled grappler.. no ego.
This kid is amazing ! I pray for his success and continued blessings.
Mikey displays the truth about jiu-jitsu in regard to submission grappling and being the kind of person who represents the art, the sport, and the truth. By telling the truth and showing the truth. You can train here with us anytime, free Mikey! Jiu-jitsu, beach, beers, and laughs. - Coach Jesse UJJ Tela Honduras
Do you have a gym in Honduras? 🇭🇳
@krynico8451 yessir! Universal Jiujitsu Tela Honduras right on the beach. Come for our winter retreats or visit and train anytime👍
@Universaljiujitsuhonduras 💯👏🏽Thanks . Will try to do so. I went to 🇭🇳 over a year ago and was there for two weeks. I wanted to find a place to train when I was there but didn't know they had a place and many I ask really never knew. Now I know. If you are ever in NOLA come train at Team Juncao with us also.
This dude is as real as it gets!! Respect
What a great guy and way to address roid rage ryan
How can you hate on this kid? He reminds me of my little brother, always smiling and always good energy.
Eats once a day and wonders why he gets tired
as if he hasn’t been doing that for years at this point
Has nothing to do with adrenaline dump
An improved diet will make a huge difference
What a genuine dude. Everyone could take a page out of his book. He makes me want to be a kinder person….
I think he didn't get his happy ending
What ending?
Either an orgasm or a submission
Guess Gordon doesn't get the gist of calling someone a rat Mikey wasn't in trouble he's not trying to save his ass. He just wants to clear up and protect the next generation for messing with gear. I mean sht look at Gordon with all of his intestinal issues you can't tell me that's a 'just because' issue. Respect to dude for sticking to his word and what he believes in
Mikey is all class.
So easy to root for this young man. Absolute beast and humble.
Sounds like a class act
I’m not even hating I just thought I read “Sounds like a class rat” 💀
@@puffyips HAHAHAAAAAAA REAL SHIT THATS FUNNY ASF
This guy is a smiling assassin. What a beauty.
Maybe people should be happy for this guy, he's clean, mean and doing a great job. No need to hate on this guy because he doesn't take PED's.
He also doesn’t face any of the top tier guys. Couldn’t even finish this nobody but plenty of excuses
@mikoj19 what is up with you.some kind of stalker or something your on every comment 😅
@@he_is_a_GOOBER_dont_disrespect agreed ……maybe its gordon? 😮
@@mikoj19he tapped pato with cab slicer….Top Tier??? Go back to drinking eggnog chachi
Why would people hate on this man for NOT doing STEROIDS? They should be hating on people for using peds. It's the cheaters mindset. If you have to cheat then you shouldn't be competing or compete in something less challenging like become a businessman.
This man is so awesome 👍!! Love this energy!!
Pizza and cardio don’t go together unfortunately.
🤣
So much respect for this guy. Someone to look up to.
Legend
Mikey is the definition of a silent killer. He’s just such a nice well rounded man from what obviously iv seen since iv never met him personally. He’s just a stand up dude that brings no bullshit and calls out the bullshit
Bro is acoustic and zesty af
Try harder 😂
Jon jones is zesty, what’s your point?
It’s funny because he gets under your skin cause he’s not portraying someone he’s not , and he can still kill you on the ground
@@puffyips simply making an observation, not that deep lil bro
@@lampfluid981 aww sounds like my comment got under your skin :(
Happy Advent Mikey and a very Merry Christmas!
Musumeci vs. Ryan to the death lol
Juice head would probably win by points since he can go for longer off the juice easy $ for Mikey
Slight size disparity.
This guy really has no enemies, such a nice dude
Usually like this guy, but you lost me at
“I speak my authentic self”.
"No one call me out for like a month, please!" that's awesome lol I love seeing Mikey's matches, and it's great to hear him speak about the sport and his experiences.
He's fake nice and demonstrates how easily people are duped by the "nice guy" routine. And, again, pro-BJJ is boring and not fighting.
I guess you pumping them roids too and rights it’s bjj athletic competition and right the wrestling not fighting but you still have to have ability n skill
@@robertwilliams4276 No. But I know fake humility from someone with a very dark side hidden under their 'niceness'.
@@robertwilliams4276maybe but you can get by in bjj without any skill if you are just super gay
@@AaronSwift-yd1es 😭
@robertwilliams4276 I have the ability & skill. 15 years of BJJ decades of boxing, wrestling, and Judo. 90% BJJ is complete masturbation & not different than the newaza I was doing in Judo in 80s.
The last honest person on the planet. In a time when the most popular people in society are being rewarded for being the worst humanity has seen, this kid has the courage to have some integrity! 🙌

Mikey is in the right. Gordolio is in the wrong. Simple. Truthful.
Mikey such a class act how can you not admire him.
Gorden Ryan is just saying this because he is a Juice head who couldnt cut it anywhere else hes just a juice head and know he is nothing without it
It's almost impossible to hate Mikey. Fantastic ambassador for the sport and just a positive role model. He's very well mannered and well spoken and his overall achievements do wonders for the sport.
