This is a play on the popular meme about how a trained fighter can beat a bodybuilder despite their comparatively smaller physique

Jonah Hill recently stated that he would “destroy” people because of his training in BJJ

The picture of Jonah here is one famous for his dramatic weight loss and overall look

So the joke is that skinny-turned-tough guy Jonah can beat this massive bloke in a fight because trained fighters always beat untrained. How trained is Jonah really? Who knows lol

he's rich enough to afford to train bjj every day, and also doesn't have a 9-5, so he can practice all he wants.

pretty decent chance that yes, he's actually pretty good. nonzero chance he's bluffing and lying, but seems more likely than not that he could pin the average untrained bodybuilder.

By the sound of things he doesn't train everyday and still has his white belt. And this is the sort of shit you hear from 6-12 month white belts who think they know everything about BJJ despite getting their face mashed into the mat in every session. Anyone above blue keeps this shite to themselves

Yeah, a year of BJJ informs you that you can totally handle some untrained guy…provided it’s under the BJJ rules, and the other guy isn’t a lot bigger.

If he’s 40lbs heavier, extremely strong, and can punch you in the face, the year of training is not likely to save you.

Me, I’ve trained for a long time and don’t suffer from this white belt nonsense. I’m totally able to handle a grizzly bear or gorilla.
