I interviewed B-Team coach Dima Murovanni, who just coached finalists and winners for ADCC 2024 and Craig Jones Invitational.

After the success (and some setbacks) B-Team experienced at these tournaments, I decided to learn more about him and how his coaching is helping change one of the biggest teams in professional grappling.

We discuss Nicky Rodriguez's $1 million win, Jay Rodriguez's ADCC silver medal, the competitive fire of Owen Jones, Nicky Ryan's injury, B-Team's rivalry with New Wave, collegiate wrestlers going into jiu-jitsu instead of MMA and much more.
