Description

What a way to kick off our unofficial Shark Week!
Dr. Yannis Papastamatiou joins the Gang for a wide ranging chat. Yannis studies shark behaviour and is also a BJJ black belt under Nuno Betes and Cyborg Abreu.
Yannis discusses why he's had a lifelong obsession with sharks, some of his incredible open water swims with sharks, why sharks are a vital element of the marine ecosystem, and we also chat about BJJ, MMA, and some of the incredible BJJ legends that Yannis regularly trains with. Yannis also explains how his mount control undoubtedly saved his life when tagging sharks!
