I always hear about UFC 1 bringing BJJ to US (or at least to wider public), but i recently (re)watched Lethal weapon 1 and Mel Gibson was doing armbar and triangle in 1987.
If actors knew about BJJ in 1987, how come Kimo, Dan Severn and Shamrock were surprised and unprepared for this ,,new,, fight style? Did they not watch movies?
Could Mel Gibson be sensei to mma fighters before the chosen one (Steven Sigal)?
Triangle is at 3:30 if you don't want to watch all video.
