The term opposites attract could not be truer when it comes to former Ultimate Fighter season six competitor and current UFC fighter George Sotiropoulos and the highly regarded yet controversial 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu creator, Eddie Bravo.
On the one hand we have the clean cut, George Sotiropoulos, who was born and raised in Australia, and graduated with a Bachelor of Business in Banking & Finance from Victoria University.
Then we have Eddie Bravo, who sports some serious ink down each arm, holds a black belt from Jean Jacques Machado, and an outspoken advocate for legalizing marijuana.
The obvious bond is a passion for Jiu Jitsu and MMA, but a closer look reveals other binding characteristics, an unquenchable thirst to gain knowledge and attain excellence in and out of the cage.
Sotiropoulos faces Joe Stevenson at UFC 110 this weekend.
