Transcript

This narrative that Clav was brought to jiu jitsu against his will is completely false. And, also, I want you guys to watch this clip because on the way to jiu jitsu, I tell him, hey. There's gonna be some people there that try to go, you know, hard at you. They might be kind of aggressive. And this is because Clav has content, you know, where he there's clips from viral saying the n worse, stuff like that. And that could make some people upset. And so I let him know, hey. When we go there, I'm not gonna have you roll with certain people because they might be a bit aggressive. And he said, no. I don't care.
