Ben Henderson and the Importance of the Gi (Kimono)

Why is Ben Henderson one of the greatest fighters on the planet? Part of the reason is the UFC Lightweight champion still trains and competes regularly with the kimono in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.  It’s no coincidence that four of the current UFC Champions are either brown or black belts in BJJ. The best MMA fighters in the world; GSP, Anderson Silva, Jose Aldo, Junior Dos Santos,  Jon Jones and Cain Velasquez all train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with the kimono. So don’t just take my advice, do what the best MMA fighters in the world are doing. Throw on the gi, get on the mats, and work your jiu jitsu technique!
