thanks, i'll have to set my dvr if it's a tourney

I know k-1 is trying to expand to the states. I really hope they are successful. i'll try to watch it later on tonight


I think I saw the last one a month or two ago. there was a black American challenging a thai fighter for his belt. it would've been good for the American market if he'd won. but damn, the champ jacked him up. the black guy is fast and vicious too but the thai guy had like over 100 wins under his belt. he busted the American up pretty good

This was the final 8 tournament. They are coming to the USA and Canada with these tournaments. I'll definitely go if they come out my way.

I missed WSOF 5 last night. Probably KO of the night right here. KO's around 7:45 if you don't want to watch the whole fight.

when I first saw it, I thought this guy threw the fight and faked it, but replays show that was a solid shot to the jaw.

ah, the gracies,.... is there any hope of there ever being another gracie champ in the future?

That was a great fight, I actually know Derrick and there was quite a bit of celebration at the local watering hole where he works.

No. At this point they'd just be happy with a W. Kron Gracie, is making his debut soon. He's training with the Diaz bros., but hopefully he's not another one dimensional fighter. Kron, is a well established grappler already, but all the Gracies seem to struggle with striking.

Good for him. He's finished all of his wins too; I'll be keeping an eye out for sure.

That KO reminds me of Marvin Hagler vs Thomas Hearns when Hearns was hit with a shot and was sent dancing around the ring.

tj grant won't be able to commit to his title shot against pettis on UFC on Fox 9 headliner

josh Thomson steps in for tj

That's no good. I was looking forward to Grant vs Pettis. Thomson is still a good fighter though and looked great against Nate. I don't see him beating Pettis, but it should be an entertaining scrap.
