What's the story behind Jake and AJ?

[The Accuser]

Is Jake just trying to go 209 in the BJJ community and generate some bigger paychecks? He used to be more quiet and reserved during his run in the UFC. I know he hates Palhares. But what happened between him and AJ?

Apparently he got eye gouged again

 

[the heed]

AJ was mouthing off leading up to the fight. that with the apparent eye gouging Jake popped off

 

[Dogstarman]

AJ was talking mad shit to him on the inside bjj podcast. I guess that coupled with the apparent eye gouging just set him off.

 

[Knock Out Ned]

This pretty much sums it up, ts:

Anyone train at Renzo's and know whether AJ's claims of choking Jake out are true? The way the match went, it looked like Jake's level was well above AJs.

Even if AJ did in fact do that, it would have only been a training/rolling, right? Theres no winning or losing there.

I think there is something to do with metamoris. Ralek and Kron hang out. Kron hangs out with the Scrap Pack. AJ put Ralek on blast on social media. So I think there is some tension there too.

Perhaps, but I get the sense that Ralek is v. much the black sheep of Rorion's boys. And Kron has had no problem criticizing things like online belts in the past, so I doubt that would explain it all...but it might be that.

There is no black sheep in that family. High expectations and no excuses.

Kron just wants to be a G in a Gi

i had never heard of AJ before this, but after seeing this one match and then reading his whining demand that Shields apologize to all of grappling... I think AJ is particularly unlikable and look forward to watching him be humiliated in the future.

It seems like AJ is just fully embracing the heel role that he's already started generating and running with it.
