I know they wanted you back, but the injury kind of derailed things. I know you said no fights are booked, but are you still planning to head back there. <br/>I'd absolutely love to see it.

I have some of my guys that use it well in both bjj and mma.<br/><br/>Some people use it but it's not for every body type. That's what so cool about bjj, people can use many different styles and be successful.<br/><br/>I've seen a few nasty injuries at tournaments when people use the rubber guard. Knees tearing, loud pops. Maybe they're doing it wrong but man it gross to hear and see it happen.<br/><br/>Personally I don't use it, instead I use a different style of guard mixing butterfly, x-guard and a bunch of other positions together. <br/><br/>For mma I have developed many ways to get back to my feet so I can strike. My style of grappling changes depending on what type of training or competing I'm doing.

Just a question, What are your thoughts on The Rubber guard? Do you see more and more people practicing it? Also I look forward to watching the Alliance BJJ tourney in November.
