  • Will UFC BJJ Kill ADCC? The Future of Professional Jiu-Jitsu with Dan Martinez

    Will UFC BJJ Kill ADCC? The Future of Professional Jiu-Jitsu with Dan Martinez
    2026/07/11
    Kevin sits down with longtime friend, former training partner, ADCC veteran and Grappling Academy owner Dan Martinez to examine the rapidly changing world of professional jiu-jitsu.

    Can UFC BJJ finally create a sustainable career path for grapplers, or will exclusivity, divided rosters and competing tournament systems prevent fans from seeing the best possible matches? Kevin and Dan discuss the pressure UFC BJJ could place on ADCC, the rise of open tournaments, the role of money and social-media influence, and whether the athletes who helped build professional no-gi grappling are being left behind.

    They also explore why social-media techniques cannot replace a structured jiu-jitsu system, why fundamentals continue to survive every evolution of the sport, and why future ADCC-level athletes may need to begin training like Olympians from childhood.

    The conversation eventually turns personal as Kevin and Dan reflect on self-funding competition careers, trading private lessons for travel, competing for little or no money, managing injuries, building successful academies and discovering a new form of competition through business and coaching.

    They close by discussing how an academy develops its own identity, why higher belts should become leaders, and how coaches can prevent jiu-jitsu schools from becoming personality cults.Topics include:
    • UFC BJJ versus ADCC
    • The financial reality of professional grappling
    • UFC BJJ Opens and tournament rules
    • Social media’s effect on jiu-jitsu development
    • Fundamentals versus viral techniques
    • Developing young competitors
    • Transitioning from competitor to academy owner
    • Healthy leadership and gym culture
    • Why Kevin and Dan still love competing

    Dan Martinez is the owner of Grappling Academy in Bradenton, Florida.
