A Short Tribute To Karate Fighters In MMA


Who says “traditional” Eastern martial arts can't be used in the ring? Well, a lot of people...but not the guys in this video!

Karate and closely related styles usually get tossed to the side when you want to talk about cage-effective martial arts. MMA has evolved over the years and is known now for hosting fighters specialized mainly in muay thai, boxing, wrestling, and Brazilian ju-jitsu. In an MMA environment with MMA rules, it's really no surprise that it's very difficult to pull off a good career grounded in Oriental martial arts.

So today, we salute those fighters who managed to take their karate-dominant martial arts backgrounds, bring it to the MMA world, and – consistently – deck their opponents in the face with it! Such is a feat that has earned professional fighters like Lyoto Machida and Bas Rutten their fame and reputations. Sit back and enjoy the end of the week with front kick K.O.'s, palms to the liver, and glorious battle music.

Ninja Turtles Artwork Auction: FINAL UPDATE


Ninja Turtles fans bid a saddened farewell as much of their most desired pieces of memorabilia were auction off to richer (and now happier) TMNT fans. So what did things end up closing at?

The coveted First-Ever drawing closed at a steady $50,000, while the resin cast TMNT toy closed at a meager $1,050. My favorite though? The wonderful case full of various scripts, notes, and various promo material belonging to the live-action films that closed at $700.

All is not lost apparently, as there will be a live auction event today during which internet bidders could very well see their bids shattered. Check the source link for a complete list of the items on auction.

New YouTube Video Brings You Kickboxer, With Just The Kicking...


It's amazing! It's glorious! It's ...less than 5 minutes long?

Funny, I remember there being way more kicking involved in "Kickboxer" when I last watched it as a young lad. Oh well, at least I can now watch all of my favorite parts of "Kickboxer" without all that silly dialogue and extraneous story getting in the way.

Be warned: The creators of the video did take some liberties in allowing "knees", which while not technically kicking, will be allowed just this once as without their inclusion, the entire video would be half as long and make absolutely zero zero sense.

Watching this is like watching a Michael Bay film except that the explosions are replaced by kicks and by the end of it I don't want to jump off a cliff.
Junior Dos Santo Brushes Away Drama In Upcoming Mixed Martial Arts Fight
Days away from the highly anticipated UFC 146, heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos took some time from what must be a grueling training schedule to give a very interesting interview over at USA Today.

What's probably most impressive is the fighter's reluctance to indulge in the typical playing up of drama surrounding your typical 'grudge' or 'revenge' stories. He instead dismisses any attempts at goading a response by explaining that the fight is in no way a mission for payback as others have built it up as.

The full interview is an excellent one and highly recommended if you're at all a fan of MMA.
