If they wanted to, they could bring you out for a nice dinner, have their way with you on the way home and never call you again. Without getting right into the JJJ vrs BJJ side of things. I don't think it's unfair to suggest that a black belt in Japanese JiuJitsu roughly equivalent to a blue belt in BJJ. There's a huge difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it against an advanced opponent. How many of them where punching you full force in the face at the time? This making a huge difference. Look at it this way, you've been swept and mounted, what would have done instead of giving up your back and neck? If rugby or soccer allowed punching, both of those cock ups would be more common,. Here's what Vinny Magalhaes said post McGregor fight (for the record, he's a pro MMA fighter, 3xBJJ world champion, ADCC champion, etc)

Leaving your neck open like that is a very basic error to be making. Same goes for giving away your back. Both put you in a horrible position altogether.
It's akin to playing the ball across your box in soccer or throwing a flat looped pass in rugby against a rushing defence, you simply don't do it, and if you do, your coach should be giving you a bollocking for making those kind of errors.

I see some BJJ practitioners on my page saying how McGregor needs to learn Jiu-Jitsu, how white belt level his defense (or lack of defense was)... Well, go use your IBJJF Style jiu-jitsu in a fight, go berimbolo someone when strikes are permitted and tell me then how much better than McGregor you are on the ground. Nate didn't win because McGregor sucks on the ground, he first was able to tag him on his feet, he started to hurt Conor bad with his boxing, which led McGregor to go for a desperate shot, then like I said before, after getting hurt and being underneath a high caliber grappler, who's definitely much more skilled than him in that area, there was not much of a surprise to happen what we saw happening. That doesn't make YOU BJJ guy who never used your BJJ in a fight (let alone against a high caliber grappler) a better grappler than Conor as you might think. end of rant...

All had some good years partying in college, and after. All have moved on from that faze into more real life stuff. Drug addiction has being proven time and time again not be a result of the drug but of underlying mental health problems on the person. Tldr. Drugs dont make addicts. Poor mental health services do.
