Wiz Khalifa is known best for his rap music, but it turns out he is also deeply into his martial arts too. Not only does he train Muay Thai, but also trains BJJ with the legendary Rigan Machado. At over 6’3, you can imagine he has a game centered around armbars and triangle chokes too
He said “My cousins train jiu-jitsu and stand-up as well. I just got tired of getting my ass whooped, so I figured I would learn how to fight” and later credited Rigan Machado adding “I did jiu-jitsu with him for like a month or two, which was cool.”
Whether Wiz Khalifa continues his BJJ journey is unknown, but yet again it’s a testament to the sports growth within celebrity circles.
