The Open GuardCast Jake Watson

WNO 23 is tomorrow night at the College Park Center in Arlington, Texas. Will Nicholas Meregali continue his reign of dominance vs. Vagner Rocha? Will Andrew Tackett defeat Tommy Langaker? Will JT Torres overcome the talented Nicky Ryan? I don't know, maybe to all of those.

Andrew Tackett joins the show for a great, quick interview going over his recent performance at WNO 20: Night of Champions, where we bested PJ Barch of 10th Planet before falling out of the tournament due to a recurring back injury. We talk about his preparation for the tournament, his performance, what comes next, his injury, and the faith that drives him in life.
I apologize for the bad audio quality, I have tried to fix it in Zoom before but I may have to resort to a different platform.

I go over a lot in this episode. I've been handling a lot of different roles and responsibilities lately what with the website's production, assisting Rachel during her pregnancy, commenating/MC-ing/Interviewing for the IBJJF GP, Booking shows and seminars, getting healthiter, the ministry, the list goes on. Enjoy this rambunctious recap and preview episode of OGC!
