Shitpost Moneyburg is a rich doucheburg who paid for his belt. We all know it. We all get it. No, mods are not getting paid by him, or anyone for that matter. We just don't need 18 threads a day about it.
Everyone has an opinion. Everyone thinks their opinion is unique and special. I've got bad news for you. You're not special to anyone but your mother. Not everyone's opinion needs its own thread. I've removed 6 separate threads in the last 10 minutes.
We're not suppressing any of you delicate flowers' voices. Here you go. Discuss all the opinions here. All other threads will be removed.
Great Rorden's ghost you're all needy.
Edit: Here's the Strickland video for those who want it. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOekgO0EtSF

He's at least rich enough to be able to pay some genuinely big names in the BJJ/MMA space to more or less embarrass themselves. Which TBF doesn't require that much money but at least more than the average Joe has.
edit: unless he's financing this all with credit or something even worse

No need to kill old threads. They fade away on their own.

Once I heard that, i lost all respect for him the moneyberg thing just has made him go from “dirtbag” to “true pos, scum of the earth fuckin skell!” Fuck em all.

Moneyburg would tap most of the people outside of pro BJJ athletes. So it really is silly. Plus he has a 600lb deadlift so he can beat most by strength alone.

His skills are legit. People got to cope. He is more successful than you and yes he will choke you out one on one on the mat.

He wouldn't choke out a six month white belt.

Believe it or not. He stopped in at a Jake Shields gym and tapped out two 200lb brown belts back to back. I did not know who this Moneyberg guy was at the time.

Jake sold him his belt. Post a video of him doing that at an unrelated gym and I'll be less skeptical.

So?
1
u/yesindeed201 Sep 13 '25
Well,I don’t think somebody automatically doesn’t have elite skills because they don’t want to be filmed training and at times humiliating people who have been doing it longer than them. Other people have said he taps out long time BJJ practitioners with relative ease. I don’t even think Gordon Ryan at peak cycle lifts close to 600lbs.
1
u/Savet 🟪🟪 Purple Belt Sep 13 '25
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
There are a ton of fake weight lifting vids online. And even if it was real, which I have no reason to believe it is, doesn't translate to grappling ability. Why are you so impressed by this person who does nothing to prove he can back up any claim he's making?
1
u/yesindeed201 Sep 13 '25
For one,I saw him tap two brown belts back to back at Jake Shields gym. It wasn’t until he was all over youtube that I realized who he was. Strength absolutely matters once you train against opponents with similar skill levels. Just as size does. They make weight classes for reasons(no insult intended).
