Still, there are numerous fight promotions in this world hosting events of such unpopular combat sports disciplines.

Some of them also took to the comments section to reveal their thoughts.

Well, it was evident that combat jiu-jitsu was a rather unpopular sport currently. Also, the ones aware of it didn’t think too highly of it. But, a lot of other combat sports disciplines started their journey in the same way and have gone on to become noted ones in combat sports.
