Summary

From lifting calibrated plates on competition spec bars in approved knee sleeves through the same three movement patterns to moving uncalibrated humans through a near-infinite combination of vectors and forces while covered in your shared sweat and blood in a half-off Gi.

0:35.2	We could use, not Michael Buffer, we could use his brother,

0:42.1	Dana White loyalty, he's like, well, we can't fire him now. And he's clearly, it's just,
