Ep 90: The Isaac Doederlein Episode - POST-Elbow Dislocation, UFC BJJ, & Future Plans

August 15, 2025 • Open Mat Physio • Season 1 • Episode 90

***APOLOGIES for the background noise - we were filming post-training & in a coffee shop/store so there was music & chatting around us. Forgive us, we tried our best!!***

Join us today on a special episode with a very special guest, Isaac Doederlein, my coach at Varsity Jiu Jitsu, an IBJJF World Champion + 2x Brazilian Nationals Champion.

Not too long ago, Isaac had the opportunity to compete on the first ever BJJ reality TV show hosted by UFC, which is where he suffered the elbow dislocation heard around the Youtube space.

Today we hear what happened leading up to it, how it happened in the moment, the aftermath, how he's dealing with recovery, as well as, his future plans on & off the mats.

This is his story.
