Roger confirms position as GOAT

The inaugural Gracie Pro on Sunday in Rio de Janeiro featured the most anticipated match of the century! You've probably seen the results by now, but here's a reminder that the match between Buchecha and Roger Gracie was for the highest of stakes, lived up to the hype, and didn't disappoint.

Watch it here: 

Hingertine or Hingerplata, your choice

FloGrappling columnist Josh Hinger is a bad, bad man. Want proof? Look no further than the savage submissions that he's been terrorizing the IBJJF circuit with throughout his career. 

Everybody knows about his pretty awesome "hingertine," a horrible and painful guillotine choke variation that has seen many people tap out. He's even unleashed it on the FloGrappling team, with hilarious results. 



Hinger submitted the very tough Manuel Ribamar with something new this time. It ended as a straight armlock from top, much like as we've seen before, but the setup came via a lapel-assisted gogoplata attack. What shenanigans is this? Maybe Hinger has taken a leaf out of teammate Keenan Cornelius' book to develop some lapel trickery. Let's see.
