On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss their thoughts on trash talking in BJJ and how top level grapplers approach trash talking.

We discuss how trash talking is used for entertainment, we compare the trash talking of different athletes such as Muhammed Ali, Deon Sanders, Chael Sonnen, and Gordon Ryan.

We also chat about creating a persona as an athlete, whether certain topics are off limits for trash talk, how trash talking and being angry impacts performance, how to deal with trash talking going into competition, whether trash talking makes the sport look bad, how to build your persona without trash talk, the personalities in pro wrestling, and if trash talking is a part of human nature.
