If we asked you to write a list of companies looking to sponsor grapplers, there is little chance you would have thought of who just signed a major deal with jiu-jitsu / MMA crossover stars the Ruotolo brothers.

The happy-go-lucky surf-skate-fight loving twins just landed a sponsorship from a major, major MAJOR corporate company: we're talking a blue-chip, globally-known, decades-old megacorp. If it's not the biggest sponsorship deal we've ever seen, we'd be very surprised indeed.

Also in this episode:

  • Polaris 39 recap, results and behind the scenes

  • Sportsmanship is not dead!

  • IBJJF No-Gi Pans: the return of Andre Galvao
