I’m pretty sure anyone who thought they had jump rope skills will end up looking like a chump after watching this video of Floyd Mayweather Jr. I wonder if Mayweather got all those skills from “Dancing With The Stars?”

I’ve been keeping up with The Ultimate Fighter and have been very surprised to see the poor results coming from the Rampage team. I really had better expectations for them as Rampage is a great fighter, but his team just has not been pulled together. As such they have suffered 5 straight losses. One of [...]
What’s Training to You?

Below are the results from our latest poll “What’s Training to You?” A majority, 45%, of the people responded that they train “Several times a week.” I’m surprised we didn’t get more “Are you kidding, I’m too lazy to train” as I know there are more out there, but I guess they don’t want to [...]
Inside UFC 104 Machida vs. Shogun

It’s time to get pumped up. UFC 104 is coming up next Saturday, October 24th and I can’t wait to see “The Dragon” Machida fight again. To quote Joe Rogan on Machida’s skill, “He’s very effective in his attacks.” I think that’s putting it lightly considering the guy never seems to get hit and continues [...]

This is a great interview from 2007 on Penn’s “natural” passion for MMA. In UFC 84 BJ Penn was slated to fight Sean Sherk. Before the fight, Sherk was accused of potential steroid use. This is Penn’s commentary on his training regiment and feelings towards developing skill and strength without the use of illegal substances. [...]
Watch the Full Simpsons MMA Episode, “The Great Wife Hope”

We now know that MMA has reached mainstream since it even caught the attention of the writers for the Simpsons show. I’m not typically a big fan of The Simpsons, but this episode was truly a classic. At one point Bart even gets the bully from the show in a reverse triangle choke. Instead of [...]

Here is another blast from the past ADCC match video. Serra ended up taking 2nd place in the tournament, but is better known for becoming the UFC welterweight champion.
Tito Ortiz vs Matt Hughes at the ADCC Video

For those of you that aren’t familiar with the ADCC it’s the Abu Dhabi Combat Club and is probably one of the most prestigious grappling tournaments. The ADCC is an invitational event that attracts the best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and wrestling talent. The winnings pail in comparison to UFC payouts; however, serious respect is earned [...]
BJ Penn as White Belt Video

Filed under Grappling News
Supposedly this is a Judo competition that Penn competed as a white belt many years ago. Either way, it’s amazing to watch such a great BJJ practitioner rock the shit out of these Judo guys. It’s no wonder he’s as good a fighter these days.
The Science Behind MMA and Why it Hurts

I highly recommend spending the 7 minutes and watching this video in its entirety. It makes you wonder how some of these guys, such as Bas Rutten walk away and are able to fight another day. The veracity at with those kicks are thrown make me tremble. It’s no doubt that their training has to [...]
