The clash of submission grapplers and strikers exhibits the perfect matchup inside the Octagon. While the fighters with particular skill sets differ in the matchups, the flashy character of striking takes a central stage. Further, the submission skills, due to the lack of glittering skills, sometimes don’t appeal to the fans on TV. However, many notable grapplers such as Islam Makhachev have reigned supreme in their respective divisions, humbling other challengers. Similarly, in a viral clip that made rounds on the internet, a BJJ black belt holder in a sheer display of strength snapped the 3 baseball bats in half.

Notably, Terrie Bourgeois, an MMA practitioner, took to his Instagram handle and originally posted the video as he took the challenge of snapping the baseball bats as he pinned the baseball in a leg lock position. Furthermore, the American Combat Club associate cracked the bats in half after a grueling session.

Markedly, in the caption, the BJJ ace mentioned that Tex Johnson started the trend, and he only followed the suit.

In addition, he admitted he remained confident about doing 4. Thus, he wrote, “Im confident I can do four, but this is probably the last time I do this party trick”
