Zak Ottow’s Pura Vida BJJ gym and Roufusport have developed quite the rivalry. Although things get out of hand from time-to-time, Ottow believes it brings the best out of both squads.
Ottow (17-6) elaborated on the beef between the two Milwaukee gyms on Saturday’s episode of the Pull No Punches podcast. “Oh god,” the fighter exclaimed when the subject was broached.
“Sometimes things get heated. In general, we get along, but over the years things have gotten heated at events,” he explained. “Whether it is people in the audience that aren’t getting along with each other at local shows or people fighting each other and the fight continues even after the final bell.
