10th Planet jiu-jitsu prodigy injuring people. Should Eddie Bravo get called out?

frick you pussy.

I'm a pussy for asking this question? You think I'm asking this out of the blue, and that the BJJ world hasn't already started discussing this, to include making this dude aware that his act isn't appropriate?

Read these comments and tell me if you think the guy that created 10th Planet maybe ought to step in and address this.

Here are some comments about this dude after one match, and there are hundreds more just like these below, about this guy:

when you have control and you just pull a hard crank like that, you're potentially ending someone's career, needlessly. I understand cranking till it breaks if they don't tap, but there was no opportunity to tap, he went right to the break. Dick move.

Pat didn't need to rip it like that. Scumbag move imo.

Seemed like he tried to break it, didn't even give the guy a chance to tap wtf!

He had it locked in and chose to maim the guy instead of allow him to tap, then with the guy clearly in pain, he just celebrates and forgets the guy exists. I believe they are signing up for potential accidental severe injuries, not intentional ones. This guy is a stain on a beautiful sport

Once he has his first serious injury he will probably change his approach. Young and naive. And his coach is his dad so I could see him promoting this kind of behavior tbh. Like a dad at little league type vibes: " Go out there and frick him up son, at all costs."

I mean, he’s blown out x3 guys knees (one being in a house tournament in his own gym), this is one of the only Bjj guys I’ve seen continuously blowing peoples knee out, but at the same time I don’t know the answer to moderating it, I don’t think there is one

I think there definitely needs to be some kind of intervention on these kinds of actions. I mean imagine going up against this kid with no idea what’s coming. You’re used to guys giving you time to tap and all of a sudden this kid rips your leg apart. I mean you could be dealing with that kind of injury for the rest of your life. I see two main options for dealing with that type of behavior, ban the thing itself, or have some kind of dialogue and create an understanding that breaking someone’s leg in a competition is not cool… and this would have to be practiced throughout jiu jitsu, having an understanding that it’s not cool to be giving people these horrible injuries. Unless the attitude changes I think someone should ban this kid from competing, and if this becomes a trend ban techniques, and if it continues man frick it ban competition. Thats the price you pay for that kind of fricked up shite

They should shoot him

There are comments out there like 'this is how you get jumped by 5 dudes walking out to your car'. He's making some people pretty angry.

Somebody needs to break that punks arm

What did Rogan do?

In a tournament it is your responsibility to protect yourself at all times, but sometimes shite happens fast. He is competing in the adult division which is usually 18-30, it is hard core. I would need to see a bit more of his rolls before condemning him.

I'm in Masters 3 (44 yrs old) and we all want to win, but go home in one piece, so we move a little slower and more deliberately.

Just put him against Gordon. Let him sort it out.
Seriously though, he’ll get his if that’s his game. Even the GOAT gets tapped (though it hasn’t happened in quite some time)

Maybe his opponents should tap faster if they don’t want their shite broke in half. Shouldn’t be on the kid to not go as hard as he can just because he is against people with little bird bones.

Yeah, I’d like to see if he’s continuing pressure after the tap or if it’s opponents refusing to tap

If they don’t want leg locks due to injury precautions then they shouldn’t allow them in the competitions, otherwise it’s fair game, IMO. Some comps don’t allow leg locks.

Reading the comments on youtube and some comments here, I'll be surprised if he doesn't get banned, along with his dad, because there seems to be near universal disgust with this antics.

I'm hoping Eddie Bravo makes a statement. I'd really like to hear what he has to say.

Here are some parts of an article from ufc.com - I think he's going to get an ugly wake up before he's old enough to vote.

"Describing himself as a dangerous competitor as opposed to a dirty competitor, Shahgholi explains that his mindset going into every match, especially with hefty prize money on the line, is, ‘It’s either kill or be killed.’

“I love it. I love the hate,” Shahgholi said. “The next competition they’re going to keep seeing me for the rest of their time. They’re going to keep seeing me on their feed or YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, SnapChat, they’re just going to keep seeing me and they’re going to be mad. They’re mad at what I’m doing but they can’t stop that. They have to deal with it.”

“Gordon Ryan did just leg lock the EBI champion and I’m known as a dangerous leg locker, so Nicky Rod, he’s the champ,” Shahgholi laid out. “I think we’d be good for each other.”

“It was excitement and pure joy but also, after I did my celebration, I picked him up, helped him up, gave him a hug and made sure he was all right,” Shahgholi said. “I think people should obviously watch the whole video and match before commenting.”

You're not making sure someone is ok after you intentionally went about making him not ok. His comments don't even make sense. The 'kill or be killed' comment is probably going to help turn him into a meme.
