Craig is hilarious, the fact he got embedded to change his title is glorious!
Yeah man dude is down to earth cool as hell lol
He lied to them and said he was his sambo instructor when they asked Aussie humour is the best
@@user-mm7vd9iu8fno he’s poking fun but his satire is next level
Embedded changed his title? What?
Which embedded was this?
Not many people realize that Craig was born and raised in Dagestan. He also speaks fluent Japanese, Russian and Latin. And he studied jiu jitsu at Oxford university in Africa...
I heard he also trained Sambo in Mexico City?!
@@travisjones1481He took some Sambo courses in Brazil and learned to spell taco somewhere in Mexico, and then he wrote English poems in Australia, which is how he got in touch with Alex in the first place at the Shakespeare theatre near their salsa MMA gym...
I also heard he was training Tony once and said, "You know Tony, you're the type of guy to-"
All false info. Please fact check before posting. Everyone knows he was a dating coach in Nigeria prior to beating Leandro Lo in ADCC
He's also a master in Tasmanian Underwater basket-weaving...
Craig is the best interview in BJJ by far. Maybe the greatest of all time. Gordon just can’t match up.
*Sambo
Second greatest of all time*
he mid
BJJ only?? He's such a troll. He can banter with the best of them.
Gordon’s screaming
😂"Judo with no pants" is some Patrice O'neal level succinct comedy.
Nah. It isn’t
@@PowersBenzoCoachingseethe
Hilarious line, but let's not compare to Patrice. Some of the best comedians alive right now can't even compete with Patrice
It’s true, Sambo was founded by two Russian dudes who just wanted to do judo with no pants.
Doesn't aged well. This Craig Jones shop closed.Sambo isn't easy,if so, then it would be called Jiu Jitsu 😊
Craig is such a perfect example of an Australian. I swear every time I visit, I'm always surprised at just how much of what they say is a joke. It always takes me a couple of days to get used to every second phrase being a joke, sarcasm, or a "piss take". Chill dudes
We call it, 'Having you on.' I was only having you on Bluey old mate.' Kiwis call it the same. Punking in the US.
Andrew Schultz says 1/3 Australian dudes you speak to could be selling out crowds in standup lol being funny is just built into the language
We just don’t take ourselves seriously
If you have to adjust, you probably need to reevaluate your outlook on life.
Yeah, same for us brits too. Taking the piss is our actual national sport. @@CRAIG5835
Craig is the most entertaining grappler in the world rn
Funniest guest in awhile, hope Ariel has him on again soon
He's definitely in my top 500
You should watch his podcast, it’s so funny
Craig is brilliant. And he’s goddamn hilarious. And he’s a fight genius. And he’s an Aussie. Capital fellow
Im such a spineless creature..
SHD
U guys have a stud for sure. I sound gay how many compliments I’ve been giving
@@fabrice8940 Thank you!!! You’re one of the few non weirdo red pill manosphere wannabe tough guy excuse for UFC fans to comment! Faith in human race restored. I’m actually American
@@carltonpenaloza1395 what ever that was sounded gay. but Craig jones is elite and needs recognition for his charisma and mic handling
We all know how good Eastern Europeans are at taking a joke 🤣 lol ~Craig Jones
That was gold 😂
Get him on more please
Craig Jones is not only one of the best grapplers in the world but he also has a great personality. I strongly recommend El Segundo podcast
I love that Craig is able to approach this from a uniquely sarcastic perspective. It's refreshing. It's equally hilarious.
took a craig jones seminar last year, dude is just as funny in person as he is online
I love how honest and funny he is when he says he’s going to fly out and ride the coat tails of Alexander Volkanovski. Such a cool dude. the two of them… they make good TV.
23:00 I couldn't contain my laughter at that wtf Craig 😂😂😂
Craig Jones is absolutely hilarious
Yeah, he's a dag for sure. Downunder speak for humourous.
Dude is a smooth personality
I love his gay personality
his relentless toturing of Gordon Ryan is just the best. This interview he made it look like he was giving him all his respect and in the same breath says how Dillon Danis pretty much beat him all with a straight face. 🤣🤣
The australlian dagestani back again what a phenomenal sambo athlete
Ozstani?
Don’t forget gay as well!
@@aebersoldbjj your gay?
@@robthevampireslayer3211 you’re* and if you read correctly and had a bit of context awareness you’d know we are talking about Mr. Greg Johnson and not myself
@@aebersoldbjj Yep, you definitely gay.
What’s up Craig😂😂 Sambo just defeated BJJ again 😢
There he is, Ariel “the worm” Helwani
Coming here straight after Volks fight. This aged well.
Craig is one funny dude
This guy is what Jiu Jitsu needs
Craig jones should have done this interview in a paraglider.
Ha or on a motorbike with an ak47
if sambo was fake it would be called craig jones #headshot
Long live Craig "sambo master" jones 🙌
0:34 😂 bro is quick witted and funny af hahahaha
Craig is an international treasure. Protect this man at all costs.
Facts
He’s the funniest person you’ve had on 😂 bring him back on please!!
Craig "Sheikh" Jones
Craig is the ultimate bro. Wat a guy.
awesome interview. super funny.
Fire interview !
Its so refreshing. Just having fun and being himself.
When I randomly saw the clip of Craig choking Alex Jones out like that I couldn’t believe my eyes 😂😂
Heros.
Omg, Craig is hilarious 😂 Does he have a podcast, he is awesome 😅
El segundo
his podcast is called el segundo
He also has the B Team KZhead channel
Would be sick if you could get at least 1 BJJ guy a month. Craig, Gordon, Nicky Rod, Musumeci, Ruotolos, Meregali, etc
He had me when he said spineless creature.
The 2nd best of all time 🥈
😂
Craig's quite the character, good to see him growin
Craig VS Gabby, make it happen 🤣 this interview was hilarious
Enjoyed this interview, seems a cool guy
craig needs to be on here more often. his character can help bring more MMA fans to BJJ
I’m so with the power slap tie breaker movement
Craig is literally the goat of MMA
after all that talking he did, one kick proved him wrong i gues sambo is the best after all ( kick is part of smabo)
Craig seems like a total dude! Great interview
The teammate every fighter wants to have
great content
Best interview ever , a real Bull
Aaaah, what a legend. Aside from the grappling, this guy delivers the best trash talk since connor found the whisky.
I know Craig has lost to Gordon enough times now. But I think Craig v Gordon one last time would probably be one of the bigger fights for JJ in the wider scene. Kinda bummed Ariel didn;t bring this up
That makes perfect sense ! 🤔😳 Danis vs Ryan in Boxing Match 🥊🤣
Craig is a global treasure
Craig Jones needs his own TV show.
Has a podcast that’s great el segundo
@@sloppygoothanks for letting me know
Please dear God stop talking about Dillon Danis
Love this guy 😂
They should have a trilogy. Box , JJ, then MMA.
Craig what happen i gues sambo wins ? He sent volk to valhala
Eastern Europeans are renowned for their ability to take a joke 😂😂😂 Stirs the pot when asked why he likes to stir the pot so much
Isn’t he awesome? 😂
@@mrspiff6955 He really is 🤣🤣. When you’re alpha and witty you can always have “playful” turned to 100 and no one can do anything about it 😂
@@carltonpenaloza1395 Yeah…you complain about the joke and get choked out 😄
@@carltonpenaloza1395When you're alpha? The most beta thing to say. So cringe.
Craig is the best guest 😂
Craig is actually extremely smart and his analysis is honestly a pleasure to listen to.
So smart he forgot the high kick 😢
@@allezlesrouges probably wasn't training kicks. You know being a BJJ practitioner and all...🙄
@@inobi30 so you're saying he's simply too 1 dimensional to grasp an idea of anything else. Cool..
LMFAO thinking isn't your strong suit. @@allezlesrouges
@@allezlesrougesyou're right. A BJJ specialist should definitely double as a kickboxing coach. Pretty stupid of Volks camp not to identify Craig as a striking coach.
BRO i havent even hit play and im DEAD at the thumbnail lolololol
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Craig is a character! Very funny.
0:33 I thought Khamzat was just standing perfectly intrigued, enthusiastically watching the flow roll between Volk & Craig for a second
Love Craig bro
2nd best juijitsu practitioner 1st best interviewer
The man..the myth.. The Craig Jones king octopus himself 🐙 🐙🐙 lmaooo
Craig Jones silver medals at Adcc gold medals in life. 🎉
The dude has a genuinely great mind for combat sports.
8:19 What a troll job🤣🤣🤣🤣
Craig jones the greatest combat sambo instructor 😢
Love you Craig.
Top tier guest
Who!?!?! Craig Jones!!!!!
Still tippin on 44's Who Mike Jones! Who Craig Jones!
The dig at Eug lol
That’s a great idea. Two world class BJJ fighters should box. How about after that they have a bowling match 🤦🏻♂️
Ozbo instructor. Same as Sambo, but with Sumo pants.
On Eastern Europeans at 8:25 lmao 😂
Wedgie Leverage is the name of my next band now. Pure poetry from Volk's Sambo Instructor here.
Congratulations champion of the world!
Imagine training with BJJ expert craig jones for a whole year to learn wrestling take down defence and then getting knocked out in first round 😂😂😂😂
I agree w what he said about jujitsu. I train and I love it, and so do a lot of people! But i find it unwatchable. I follow a lot of the guys bc I think they are interesting personalities, like Craig but I’ve never watched a live bjj match on any type of screen.
Lots of good matches to study
craig is genius
He's so crazy lol
Love Craig bloody Larakin n a legend 😂😊
Craig has more personality than Gordon. 😂
Craig jones looking like in hollywood movies, when the action star goes “undercover”. To infiltrate some big party in dubai.
Really enjoy reserved Craig Jones. Hilarious.
Gotta get Craig to branch out from Bulls and Cucks to CNC primal stuff 😂😂
Listening to this at a business lunch as the salesman just blabbers on while eating a dry aged steak.
Craig is the only person to get me to watch Ariel
Dillon should join the B Team
How could Craig go to Hakuho Sho 's stable and not remember the GOATS name!!
Craig is hilarious
Sambo KOed BJJ. Islam's Time.
Yeah but see how that sambo goes against bjj in the streets
@@hehnothinpersonalkid5323 It's better than bjj in the streets for sure. Sambo literally is mma, unlike bjj where you can't strike at all.
I don't care for BJJ at all. but ill always listen to what craig jones has to say he's that entertaining
Why he look like the big bad wolf from little red riding hood 😂😂😂
Craig is spot on how Dillion tried to copy Nate Diaz. Awesome interview. 💯
I watch this just because of Craig Jones.
Dillion vs gordan mma match make it happen
