0:00.0	Hello everybody, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Craig Jones. He's a Brazilian
0:05.4	Jiu-Jitsu athlete, owner of B-team, and founder of the Craig Jones Invitational. Craig has decided to go to the front lines of the Ukraine War and since returning
0:15.5	to America has entered an even more dangerous territory combat tournament promotion.
0:20.5	Today we get to find out which is more ruthless.
0:23.4	Expect to learn the crazy dangerous parts of the world Craig has been living in recently.
0:28.1	The reason he's going to fight a woman in August, where you can go to get $1 million in cash from, why combat athletes are all so poor,

2:05.3	that take what they do very seriously,
2:07.3	but for me, it's a bit weird, it's a bit gay,
2:09.6	it's a bit easy to poke fun out,
2:11.1	so that's my target in life.
