Watch Who's #1 Live on Flo

Sat. Oct. 5 | 6 PM Eastern

Our brothers over at FloGrappling stirred the pot a little. This past weekend at ADCCs, the world's toughest jiu-jitsu tournament, Nicky Rodriguez made the finals of the over 99kg bracket.

Being wrestlers, we weren't about to back down from a challenge. Why not see if the Natty Boh Bruiser aka the Dragon Hawk aka the Lizard King aka Funky Bunky is up to it?

And just like that, boom, we've got a Superfight!

There's no weight class, so Nicky Rod will probably have a massive size advantage over Downey. But it's a wrestling match, so we're thinking PDIII should be alright.
