Eddie Cummings on why he's a 'scathing indictment' of how jiu-jitsu treats leg locks

If there's any name that's taken the grappling world by storm in the last year, it's Eddie Cummings. The John Danaher-black belt has torched competition and won superfights not merely with a complete game, but with specialization in leg locks that exceedingly few have been able to handle.

After winning the fourth Eddie Bravo Invitational and on the eve of ADCC 2015, Cummings spoke to MMA Fighting about why his leg locking system has been so successful, who in MMA has the best leg locking game and why his success underscores just how poorly the jiu-jtsu community has treated the task of training and competing with leg locks.
