White belt. You as well as all of your favorite fighters in the Octagon have been there at some stage of their life. With every higher ranked belt tapping you out left, right and centre it can feel like an eternity until you see some progression.
But after some time passes a new white belt comes onto the mat, finally you are no longer at the bottom of the class and there’s someone you can confidently beat…or so you think.
While on their cross country trip across Canada, UFC power couple Miesha Tate and Bryan Caraway stopped by the Grounded BJJ studio in North Bay, Ontario to pull off a prank on the students.
UFC bantamweight contender Bryan Caraway goes undercover as a BJJ newbie named ‘Tom’ who comes to class wearing a hilariously tied white belt, wrestling headgear and a black ninja gi.
Starting off slow and looking clueless Bryan slowly starts going through the students catching submissions and claiming he was just doing stuff he saw on YouTube.
How long before the class finds out, check out how it unfolds below.
