Per Jason, Cyan (aikido guy) did not want to be taken to the ground and held there or use gloves. Cyan said he's been doing martial arts since age 5. While Jason said he's been studying martial arts for only 16 years. Jason is a MMA coach, not an active professional fighter. Cyan speaks authoritatively about aikido and teaches it, but lacks giving details on lineage and years of being an aikidoka.

At the beginning of the video, Cyan says, "Aikido is better than BJJ. Aikido teaches you to neutralize the threat as quickly as possible, to reduce damage, to stay off the ground. Aikido when properly trained has more of the requisite material to survive a real life altercation than BJJ does."
Cyan asked for the challenge in part to promote his websites, services and patreon. IMO, Jason along with Chilcutt's Memphis MMA acted morally while helping Cyan gauge where his fighting skills are. Although, I don't think it helped Cyan's TMA business.
And there's still no BJJ in the video, just a lot of some fraud getting punched in the head by a guy who's very, very good at punching people in the head. I don't have a problem with the matchup or beating up frauds, I just think the title of the video is highly misleading.
Aikido in a dueling/challenge sparring/fight scenario is not Aikido anymore.

Tell that to the founder and many of his direct disciples, who accepted challenges from Judoka, KarateKa and Sumo rikishi.

Then what is the point of practicing Aikido? And what use has it?
