The hulking mass next to him is none other than ex-WWE superstar Bautista.(br /)It's an interesting interview that sheds a little more light on the style that RZA is hoping to achieve with his movie. As if you couldn't tell by the (a href="http://www.karatemart.com/blog/martial-arts-action-meets-hip-hop-style-in-rzas-the-man-with-the-iron-fists")trailer(/a) already.

(center)(img src="http://www.karatemart.com/images/blog/MMA-Rankings-Banner.jpg")(/center)(br /)(br /)Last week saw the release of a no-nonsense rankings list breaking down the top ten MMA fighters in each weight division, including top female fighters of the moment. Most of the names at the top of the list may not be absolute shockers but it's still darn interesting to glance over the various classes and remember (or imagine) various match-ups.(br /)(br /)This is one of the most carefully considered lists you can find on MMA fighters, taking various factors into consideration including fighters performance as well as difficulty of opponents. One interesting item of note: Fighters currently undergoing drug-related suspensions are considered ineligible until time that they have had one fight (i)after(/i) the time of their suspension.(br /)(br /)Continue reading to see the list in its entirety.

Filled with brilliant Saturday morning cartoons and the beginnings of what would be become legendary video game franchises, it's a decade that can put a smile on my face quicker than a crane kick from Daniel LaRusso.(br /)(br /)If you're one of the unfortunate few that didn't get to experience the amazing martial arts brawl-fest that was (i)Double Dragon(/i) in either its arcade (u)or(/u) it's NES incarnation, then you owe it to yourself to give this re-boot of the classic franchise a look.(br /)(br /)Clearly inspired by the aforementioned Decade of Decadence, (i)Double Dragon Neon(/i) seeks to bring a radical new take on a video game series that deserves an overhaul.(br /)(br /)Check out the video which features footage from this year's E3 demo and let us know if you're a fan of the series or if you'll be there to play this new, neon edition when it arrived on (i)Xbox Live Arcade(/i) later this year.

For the rest of us, there's good old fashioned gameplay footage to fill in the gaps.(br /)(br /)While we've seen plenty of carefully crafted trailers that have shown some in-game footage, it's always revealing to see a live run-through of any soon-to-be-released game. So if you've been on the fence with this title or even if this is your first time hearing about it, check out some of the footage above and let us know what you think!

Hopefully, this time next year, (i)Street Fighter(/i) fans will have something they can look at rather pride, rather than (a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rN2Vz5QaJ1U&feature=related")sad disappointment(/a).(br /)(br /)Continue reading to find a link to the (i)Street Fighter(/i) Fan Film that helped make the new series possible.
