yep. official brothers they got pics as kids together. the way they move on the mat even outside of rolling is similar

Man we got some interesting playlists at MGA, so this doesn't even sound weird to me. We got Marcelo playing "if you gonna be dumb" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3Mn6V1IzHw. Paul playing Kodak Black and French. Satava playing The Misfits, Matheus playing Kevin Gates, and Philzhino playing 90s dancehall. I'm sure Quinn will get control of the playlist soon enough.

I'll wait til you drop in to relive this one with yall lol


>Yep, same. He introduced me to the N/S choke and the

One of the hardest to master but most devastating subs

My man was a assistant professor UCLA a lot of my people were living in Delta Terrace freshman year and I grew up a Bruins fan. Another good choice man.

You definitely should. Especially cause Quinn is at the front desk.
