Gene hasn't just carried on the judo tradition either. He learned the old-time "hooking" style of pro-wrestling from Ed "the Strangler" Lewis -- the lost art of real grappling and submission holds that dominated pro-wrestling back before the outcomes became pre-determined. Here's a g...
Only two fights on the card went to decision -- one a three round war between Kyle Baker and James "Binky" Jones and the other a strategic duel between Team Lloyd Irvin's Mike Easton and Greg Jackson Submission Fighting's John Dodson.

Mad props to Dave in Manchester NH for throwing his cash on Pertuzelli on my advice. I don’t know what’s worse, this fight or the horrible announcers. I’m pretty happy Kimbo got dropped cuz he acts way to hard for someone thats totally unproven in MMA. His entourage is silly, his past fights...

This makes me wonder if he has ever truly watched any MMA, or even any martial arts in its base elements. Do you know what jiu-jitsu is, Wilbon? He must have been too busy following the Redeem Team in Beijing to notice the excellent amateur wrestling going on at the Olympics, or noticed the fac...

The second was putting your new "man" up against a true champion—Randy Couture. You couldn't lower yourself to let a fighter from your organization go up against Slice, but you could manufacture your own "new phenom of MMA scenario," with different faces, and just as much hype and drama.

As I've outlined before, MMA in Japan grew out of pro-wrestling. One man, Antonio Inoki, was obsessed with testing wrestling as a "real" fighting system and not only set up a bunch of freak show matches against boxers and judoka, he also mentored a whole generation of Japanese pro-wrestle...

Knees to a downed opponent: If your strong suit is on the ground, then you have a great advantage in virtually every conception of MMA (Royce Gracie proved this in the first 4 UFC's). You need no further advantage, but, the no knees rule gives these grapplers yet another advantage. This adva...

Any word that Affliction "Banned" and Ultimate Fight Night 14 going at it head-to-head was bad for the sport was squashed by the Fedor Emelianenko and Anderson Silva performances. Give the UFC announce team, Mike Goldberg and Joe Rogan credit, they not go into shill-mode screaming ab...

Now I don't pretend to BE the MMA world, I'm just one small member of it, but I have an ear to the terrain in that world and Kimbo Slice losing to a more well-versed MMA fighter likely didn't shock many people beyond Kimbo Slice and EliteXC.

NBC Sports’ resident MMA expert Mike Chiapetta says Kimbo’s loss is no good for anybody in MMA, no matter what we might say to the contrary: Chuck Liddell has to nearly walk on water to get the kind of broad media coverage that Kimbo and Elite XC have gotten. They created tremendous buzz that r...
