Exclusive: Scott “Einstein” Epstein Talks Eddie Bravo, Gracie Greed, 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu and Jersey Shore

(“I’m a Jiu Jitsu guy; I don’t want to get hit. I like ice cream. I like girls with big a**es. I like dogs. Getting hit is not on that list of things that I like.” – Einstein-)

If you don’t know who Scott Epstein is, chances are you’re a s**tty fan of the sport, just like him.

4-0 as a professional MMA fighter, Einstein appeared on season one, episode nine of the TapouT series. He’s been referred to as one of Eddie Bravo‘s right hand men, having trained with the creator of the 10th Planet system before the system had a name.

Most recently, he was hand picked by Chuck Liddell to not only help him prepare for his UFC 115 comeback bout with Rich Franklin, but was also chosen by “The Iceman” to be one of his grappling coaches on Season 11 of The Ultimate Fighter.

We caught up with Scott last month while he was in Canada conducting a series of training seminars to talk about a number of topics like what makes 10th Planet such a popular system besides the techniques, his stalled fighting career, what drove him away from training with the Gracies and what he thinks about Jersey Shore d****ebags.
