Hey just enjoy your vacation and please don't bet on those picks I'd hate to have to come down there and give you gas money GSP pound for pound best fighter out there hey are you going to be back for the fights in Va if so Ive got 4 tickets left its the 26th

I totally agree with GSP being pound for pound best fighter, but he is mentally weak and is going to crack in front of his hometown. Unfortunately, I am not returning to MD until Sunday after the fight (late). Trust me, I know I am missing some good trash. Have fun!!

Today, Sensei Marshall presented a solid seminar on the basic principles of judo. The techiniques we learned would be a powerful addition to any fighter's arsenal. Although the mechanics of judo do differ in some degree from BJJ, the principles are very much the same- efficiency, balance / base, and timing.

The Judo seminar rocked! Sensei Marshall showed us a new theory on throwing which was "Brilliant". He mentioned he would like to do another seminar in late fall / early winter.

Free HDNet Fights this weekend

HDNet will air Dream 3 on Mothers Day. Rorion's son Ralek Gracie is scheduled to fight along with other good fighters. It's a must see for MMA fans. Dream is owned by K-1 and produced by former Pride Fighting Championship folks. Dream has the same fight rules and time limits as the former Pride fights, less the head stomps and soccer kicks.

UFC 84 this Weekend

Four big name fights in this one...it might be worth the pay-per-view $$$

BJ Penn vs. Sean Sherk

Wanderlei Silva vs. Keith Jardine

Tito Ortiz vs. Lyoto Machida

Rameau Sokoudjou vs. Kazuhiro Nakamura



I'm predicting the guys in red for the wins.

EliteXC on CBS Primtime

Reminder of the fights tomorrow night on CBS.

Card line up:

Kimbo vs. James "weak chin" Thompson

Gina Carano vs. Katilin Young

Phil Baroni vs. Joey Villasenor

Robbie Lawler vs. Scott Smith

Brett Rodgers vs. John Murphy

and others.

I think James Thompson is strong enough to give Kimbo a run for his money, but he is too predictable. Thompson will likely try to bum rush Kimbo at the ring of the bell, gas out, then get knocked out.

Mixed Martial Arts...

I watched a little bit of that on TV the other night.

In all honesty, it reminded me something of a girls ice hockey game.

**COPA NOVA SUMMER CHAMPIONSHIPS Aug 16, 2008**

Dan from Fightworks posted the following in the Fightworks forums...

The next edition is coming up on August 16th! Go to Copa Nova III or iCompete - Your Complete Listing Of Martial Art, MMA, And Grappling Tournaments, Seminars And Events for more details.

Planning on eight competition rings and so we will need approximately 20 people to run scoring tables. Andrew Correa will be taking care of reffing. If you reffed last time and got certified then let me know if you want to do so again.

I will also need my EXPERT logistics crew to take care of mat handling/transport as well as early morning day of mat setup. They will also be in charge of tables, chairs, ring marker flags, etc.

Let me know if you can help out once again to make the COPA NOVA the great tournament it is.

Unofficially "Mama" has given me the green light to compete. So let me know if your interested-Nick

Every fight i've watched from Amir i've continued to be more impressed. I thought for sure CB was going to punish him for his last loss, but when Amir said he stayed in Vegas to train with Forrest's team, I thought that Amir would be a force.

I think Forrest's experience as someone from the show played a huge part in Amir's winning the entire thing. He spent a lot of time with his fighters and it showed. I think Rampage wasn't as concerned with teaching his guys and looked pretty sloppy during the course of the show (I'm a Rampage fan FYI)

I think that Forrest's dedication and time to help Amir and train him directly resulted in his winning the championship. Thoughts?

I have to agree...Amir did a good job, but I lost respect for CB for losing to the same submission!

Kudos have to go to Kendall Grove...I didn't think he would be Evan Tanner, it was a true spanking. I don't think you can go wrong training with Tito and BJ Penn.
