BJJ is popular, in that lots of people have heard of it, and thus no doubt tried it. Because the guy that started the UFC - Royce Gracie (Royce is pronounced Hoyce), used BJJ to win the first bunch of them. Eventually all competitors learnt it, and since used jiu jitsu amongst their skills, to beat him. It began like Karate Vs Judo. Now it is MMA. They are good at fighting standing up - [kick]boxing , and on the ground - jiu jitsu, and ground and pound!. Everybody should know what UFC is all about!! Matt Hughes and Fedor are awesome. Don Frye. These are names worth putting into youtube or google video. (I think youtube was taking many off though for copyright reasons, and now many are stupid music videos).
BJJ has proven itself effective. From UFC. But that may largely be the effectiveness of jiu jitsu.
According to the founder of BJJ, Helio Gracie, he designed it `cos he was both small and weak and he adapted/improved many techniques from traditional jiu jitsu, to use leverage more.
marc laimon, a jiu jitsu expert, beat a gracie , and thinks their technique is poor. Another guy - Sakuraba - that beat them is a jiut jitsu or wrestling expert.
Thanks scriabin, I may look into jiu jitsu, avoiding bjj clubs! I am not sure about MMA clubs, i would have to email them to make sure!! Alot of videos i see, even plain jiu jitsu, are a bit odd.

Brock Lesnar from the WWF/WWE ended up making his Debut for UFC. I've been watching him carefully, looks like he got his ass handed to him.

great video.. Lesnar is a powerhouse, he was destroying him until that ankle lock. Interesting, since physically they do not look that mismatched.

It doesn't look like he did much damage except the illegal punches to the head and when he punched Frank Mir and he fell to the ground.

There were many punches to the head.. one was illegal.
Having watched many matches, punches to the head or face do alot. Referees often stop it - if the other guy cannot escape.. Sometimes the other person can do nothing but try to cover his head, and the referee stops it. Sometimes the guy gets knocked out from it.. Or gets a broken nose or worse - a fractured eye socket. Even those weird looking short range punches can do alot!
