The Ultimate Fighter 2

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2005

Tuf2: Episode 1 aired last night. So far it doesn’t seem like it will be quite as gripping as season one, but that could change. There didn’t appear to be an Lebens or Koschecks in the mix this time around, and the overall vibe is that the fighters just aren’t as hungry as […]

Pride FC has released it’s latest knockout compilation named “Hardcore Knockouts” on Sony’s UMD disc format. For those who don’t know, these are the discs used by the Sony PSP. I can imagine watching this 110Min video on a fight would be a great way to pass the time. It’s cool to […]

Sakuraba Arrives in Brazil

Sunday, August 21st, 2005

On August 19th, Japanese superstar Kazushi Sakuraba arrived at the Chute Boxe academy in Curitiba to begin two months of training at the famous MMA gym.
