Epi 85 James Puopolo Can Make You Laugh and Tap

What a crazy great podcast this is!  First, Raf surprises Kevin with John Evans from BJJBreakdwon.com to discuss who won UFC169.  Kevin then turns the table on Raf inviting over Amechi Akpom from BJJTraining-Journal.com to talk accountability.  It ends with BJJ Superstar James Puopolo talking training and life on the pro circuit.  Oh, we also discussed UFC169 and "the stoppage" a lot.
