Al Batal episode 10 watch it here!!

Episode 10 of Al Batal features the team grappling challenges.  Truth be told, I was only a few days removed from my cast when the production crew asked me if I was willing to face 2x UFC Veteran, Chute Boxe fighter Jorge Lopez in a submission grappling match for the 2nd season of Al Batal.

Knowing my elbow wasn’t really healthy enough to wrestle, I originally asked the matchmaker to make it a match without points, either to the submission or DRAW, similar to Metamoris, I figured with those rules, it would give me an opportunity to put on an exciting fight, without worrying about Jorge, a college wrestler getting up 2-0 and stalling until the match was over–I’m still not sure, but Al Batal said they didn’t want to do the no scoring round, and instead told me it would be fine to pull guard during the competition, to prevent Jorge from starting 2-0.

Very cool having MMA Legend Fabio Mello ref the match!
