Don’t miss this special opportunity to learn Tito’s “No Holds Barred” approach to MMA. Tito [...]
Just finished watching the Strikeforce show at the Playboy Mansion on Yahoo Sports. They have a video of the event up on their page.
Overall, it was a very good show. A lot of celebrities in the audience and a fairly knowledgeable crowd. I didn’t hear any booing as is now customary on most [...]
Last week was the season premiere of The Ultimate Fighter show.. this time the coaches are Matt Hughes and Matt Serra who will be fighting at the end of the season sometime in December.
One of the fighters who I have always heard about but didn’t know much about, Mac Danzig, is in the latest season [...]
I probably won’t get to see it live.. but will probably stay up late to see if I can find somewhere on the ‘nets.
Here are my picks that I set up on MMAPredictions.com :
UFC 74 Picks. After the weigh in.
Randy Couture vs Gabriel Gonzaga: Gabriel Gonzaga
Roger Huerta vs Alberto Crane: Alberto Crane
Josh Koscheck vs GSP: [...]
For the longest time, it was always hard to find MMA anywhere unless you had a satellite dish or cable and it would only be the UFC every couple of months or Pride Fighting. Flash forward to a few years ago with the inception of The Ultimate Fighter Show, now you can watch MMA [...]
Human Weapon on the History Channel is a very good show. Check your local listings. It stars MMA fighter Jason Chambers and former pro football player/wrestler Bill Duff. They travel around the world and learn different styles of martial arts and at the end of the episode, they take what they have [...]
Seems to be a fairly new website about grappling tournaments. It looks like OnTheMat.com is associated with them along with USA Grappling and World Grappling Games.
Here is a list of some upcoming tournaments taken from GrapplingTournaments.com
2007 Tournament Schedule
OTM Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Championship – Long Beach Convention Center – July 28th 2007
US Open of [...]
It’s hard for fighters who are just starting out to have a day job and try to train at night. In a perfect world, we would have Xyience beating down our door trying to give us a $100K sponsorship, but when you are Joe Blow and not in the UFC, that makes is a [...]

The OTM NorCal Hero’s Tournament
Saturday, May 26 in Union City
Brought to you by OntheMat.com in association with One World Martial Arts
A No Gi Tournament for the Bay Area!
I have literally traveled around the globe to cover submission grappling and as a lifelong resident of the Bay Area I’m proud to say that some of the [...]
Frank posted some videos of the tryout for his team. They are pretty interesting as far as what are some of things that you have to be able to do to be a part of his team.
1st Part of tryouts – Conditioning
2nd Part of tryouts – Fighting
I haven’t been too keen on the Bodog Fight stuff since I saw one of their specials on ION and was not that impressed with the caliber of the fighters. I think the new season has really stretched out more and got some bigger names and in this case it is Jake Shields. [...]
Another scientifically created quiz developed by the world’s top scientists in an underground lab in Geneva has come up with the most accurate way to determine which UFC fighter are you?
Using the latest in GPS tracking, Chinese herbal remedies, and 10 Kray supercomputers, it determined that I am Randy Couture.
The next season of BodogFight is taking place in Russia.
Check out the BodogFight Blog to see some pics of the team training and pics of Calvin Ayre partying. The blog is pretty slick but I would like to see more fighters and less Calvin. I know he is rich… he just doesn’t [...]
I was a little worried that I might not be able to watch the season finale. Having just moved to a new place, I am still sorting out my cable and TIVO hook-up. Apparently, VoIP is not a preferred method for TIVO to get the cable information, so I will probably have to [...]
Strikeforce is having another show December 8th at the HP Pavilion in San Jose with an All-Star group: Paul Buentello, Cung Le, Daniel Puder, Gilbert Melendez, Josh Thomson and Bobby Southworth. I have also heard that Frank Shamrock will be fighting Phil Baroni at this same event, but they don’t have it posted on [...]
Check out Sherdog’s play-by-play if you didn’t catch the fights.
UFC 64 was one of the better cards since the Canada vs USA card earlier this year. We had the return of Franklin to defend his title against Anderson Silva.
Somehow Anderson Silva got a free pass for a title fight simply by beating [...]
Tonight is the last welterweight match-up between Pete Spratt and Matt Serra. Pete Spratt is getting his second chance after losing against Chris Lytle.
Drago came back to the house to celebrate his win over Charles McCarthy. Drago gets waaay to hammered. Its already hard enough to understand the Long Island accent but [...]
Shown on the SpikeTV broadcast:
Josh Koscheck vs Jonathan Goulet
(Strikes) Round 1 4:10
Excellent fight. I really didn’t know which way this fight would go since I am a fan of both Goulet and Koscheck. Koscheck came out with some nice stand-up. He professed in the post-fight interview that his training has [...]
Mas Cerveza por favor. That’s as good as my Spanish gets.
The UFC has gone bilingual and south of the border.
UFC en Español – www.ufcespanol.com
I have read on the boards thats the UFC is planning to do a show in Mexico eventually, so this is probably a good foray into [...]
Even though I don’t support the war in Iraq and disagree with our policy in the Middle East I completely support the troops in Iraq and feel for them that they have to be there.
I was happy to see that the UFC sent Randy Couture, Rich Franklin and Rachelle Leah on a goodwill mission to [...]
