Ryo Kawamura is DA MAN !

From Daily News via livedoor sports

2 Japanese fighters who fought Mo Lwal faced at Pancrase on June 7th. Kawamura def. Naito by Decision. but Ryo Kawamura was disapointed to his own performance at that fight against Naito. You know we Japanese are very strict to ourselves .

So !

He gave up to go to watch str1p show of the Former gr@vure id0l in Asakusa Tokyo. Kawamura is a TYPICAL Japanese for sure.

LMAO

Urgent — Jessica Bednark needs our help

i dont want to spam but

A little bit more info from Yael Grauer ,
A Paypal account is set up now

One of a person who is on  friend list at facebook  “Sam Wilson” has posted this

Jessica Bednark needs our help
Written by Lilly c/o LOP

Jessica Bednark collapsed during training and was rushed to the emergancy room yesterday with a bleed to her brain. The doctors preformed emergancy surgery to remove the pressure on her brain. They had to remove a small area of her skull as well. Jessica remains in a medically induced coma right now. She is in ICU and can not have any visitors until Tuesday or Wednesday.

Jessica is a professional female fighter, with a record of 5-2-0 at 135lbs. She was scheduled to fight June 12th against AJ Jenkins and was training when this happened.

I was informed by her camp that she does NOT have medical insurance and depended on her job for her training and bills. We need to come together right now and help Jessica. Her family was extremely grateful that we have posted bulletins, but now as a fighter community, we need to extend a helping hand. Hit your sponsors as well…….

PLEASE SEND ALL DONATIONS and cards to

Jessica you are a fighter with heart and courage, you will pull out of this. Keep her in your thoughts and prayers please

Win a Date with the Queen of MMA

Original Thread is here

WHAT

Hey guys!  Let’s kill 2 birds with one stone here:  “Win a date with Tara to UFC 101!”  We just need someone to put up 2 tix!  Kirik…?????

UFC 101 will be when… oh, its on Aug 8 . Still have enough time to find Sponsors… Watching UFC with the top female fighter must be fun. but the prize includes Air ticket from Japan to the States?

AIR TICKET ! we can use it for Roxy to let her kick Tara`s A$$ hard!!

WEEEEEEEEEEE im gonna win !!

How much to get my name on your shorts?

kaitlinrosie -  How much to get my name on your shorts?

Sarah Kaufman -  Thanks guys! The underground rocks! Sorry Kaitlin…your name wasn’t spelled correctly!

The video I watched was poor quality…I didn’t realize you weren’t kidding until now! Well played! HAHAHAHA

??

!!!?

KAITLAN YOUNG??

!!!!

LMAOOO

Pics from : combatlifestyle

One More from Sherdog.com

Get more pictures like this from SHERDOG.COM

She smiled and waved to the cam

Sarah Kaufman  or  Miesha Tate, Who will get the ticket to the top league of female 135 class?

Miesha walks in to the cage

Sarah comes… with big smile

Waving to the cam in the cage?? ITS NOT PICNIK !!

See ! You  got in trouble !!

wait… whose blood is that???

She becomes a punching robot as usual

O M F G that blood was Meisha`s

but Meisha doesn`t quit !

She smiles again

and… WAVES

So, Non-Stop Punching Robot girl ” Sarah Kaufman” got it, BUT its a ONE-WAY ticket. She can NOt go back anymore.  Shayna is waiting, Not only the Queen of Spade,  She can not pass  Roxy and Amanda to the Top of the moutain where Tara LaRosa is sitting on.

Kaitlin Young the another striker of her Generation will try to stop her. Kailtlin Young who has KOed Tate less than a minute in 2007. Of course Meisha Tate will come back to Stop this unstoppable brizzard.

Strikeforce signed with Tonya Evinger? uh oh

GFIGHT TV PILOT 1

Juggs VS. Japan

For English speakers who wants to visit Japan and train Martial Arts, i just found this site named “Juggs vs. Japan” via News blog infiniteMMA which introduce MMA scene in the Southern Hemisphere.

Still most of contents are under construction, but once they add info, it will be a agreat site for Non- Japanese. I rememebre that “Juggs” was the guy who made independent documentary movie about Japanese MMA scene? not sure. Im lazy, i will check my bookmarks later.

OUCH !!

Hot Summer is comming to female 135 division

Undefeated Sarah Kaufamn is going to step in the cage against Miesha Tate, the winner of  US Grappling  (FILA) national trial 2008,  for the right to challenge the Queen of Spade Shayna Baszler.

This is good move of Strikeforce to makeup last mess.  Once bodogFight had built a very tough and serious league of  female division at 135 lbs.  Amanda, Shayna, Akano,  Julie Kedzie, Kelly Kobold  and Roxanne Modafferi. All those tough and skilled fighter were gunning at “the Queen” Tara LaRosa. Just b4 the moment of death of bodogFIGHT, New breed Kaitlin Young was added on the list. Another unknown veteran fighter Sarah Schnider`s name was also spreaded for  Fighting and winning over Young.

Talents and competition were already there, just they lost the place to show their skills.  Why dont major orgs use them for their events? Its often said that “female bout steals the event/show”.

Forget about Godzilla vs. KingKong, its not an athletic competistion. If you realy think of this sport, just focus on other talents who NEVER Cheat, Never Miss the weight. Now Roxanne Modafferi is ready to fight in that tough league as one of TOP 135ers and wants to fight to avenge Shayna badly.

But I think that Kaufman and Tate should be able to relax and take it easy for a while after putting on the exciting fight May 15th. I will gladly face Shayna for them. It’s really no problem at all.

In fact, Shayna chicken winged me in BODOG a few years ago.

I want revenge.

I believe I can win. I don’t want an easy fight…I want a war. Will you go to war with me in the cage, Shayna?

Its also a war between 2 Generations,  current top fighters and future queens like Kaufman, Young and Tate. You know what? There are so many tough competitors at ths Class.  Tonya Evenger,Takayo Hashi, Molly Helsel, Ginele Marquez, Liz Posener,  Jan Finny… the list is looong.

Now the time to re-build the female division.

Jason Mayhem Miller Unreleased

Footage of  kinda underground fight.  This bout wont be sanctioned by any AC.

REMATCH !!! REMATCH MUST COME

DAMN IT! BS!!! Villarisco took the bout! At least it should have been a draw by 28-28!!

REMATCH!!

Watch the fight YourSelf!!

VIEW | Mikey Lovato vs. Jose Villirisco

MYYYYYY WAAAYYYYY

1st R , OUCH ! Eating elbow

STOP LAUGHING TITO!!!

2ndR, Double OUCH,  Mikey is a  hard GnPer

3rd Round, The pistol TIME!!

You never know how its hard to take screenshots of his jab ! its lightning flash with a lot of faints.

BOOOMB !!! see, 30fps is not enough to catch his hand,
NEED HIGH- SPEED CAM.

Mikey is almost ended

SEE! Mario Yamazaaki has stopped the fight! Announcer said ” He quits !”

WTF?? that was time up?  Decsion? all 3 judges scored 29-28??  At least Villarisco took the last round by 10-8 ! BS !!!

EVEN Tito made this face !!

SO, REMATCH !!!!

Wrong, it was just so wrong

Tell the truth, im already sick and tired of those weight issues around those TV stars. This will be the last posting about it.  It seems big MMA site like MMAweekly, MMA mag from UK ” Fighters only” started to focus on that trouble seriously.

And now Tara LaRosa the Queen of Female MMA says ” NO NO NO” with her deep voice. As i know most of current top female fighters already have criticized Cyborg and her  camp for their excuse “Girl Problem” using

ridiculous
Unacceptable

those strong words on forums, SNS, Youtube.  Not only fighters and fans, Dr. Margaret Goodman, a neurologist and former chairman of the Medical Advisory Board of the Nevada State Athletic Commission also said

“its just embarassing”

to have heard the excuse “Girl Problem”.

You really care about future matchup between 2 cheaters? I Dont. If  i want to watch Godzilla vs. KingKong,  i just go to rental DVD shop. Go ahead StrikeXC. Pay them a lot and get higher rating on Showtime or CBS.  I  just dont think its serious combat sport, thats all.

The question is: why no one didnt stop the fight ? Promoter is such a money slave or got blackmailed by Sh0wtime? What Athletic commission was doing? Dont they exist to protect rules and athletes? What the manager was doing? His job is getting a fight for his fighter, let her win and protect her ,  THOSE ARENT HIS JOB?

One World Champion

Eddie Goldman throws a big qustion to boxing and  combar sport scene.

He also talks about it with Ian Carpenter on nhbnews

“The Pistol” will be back in the cage !

via bloodyelbow: Jose “the Pistol” Villarisco will be back in the cage of UWC !

i mean…

MY WAY at UWC AGAIN !!

The Latest interview MayheM Miller

12 yo kid in his head is thinking to box against heavy handed KOLAHE, and maybe Jacare !

Sherdog: How did the “Bully Beatdown” producers find you to host the show?
Miller: YouTube superstar. They found me doing a funny interview on there with some Mormon kid, and I’m digging into him. They just figured I was the perfect guy for this whole deal.

funny interview on there with some Mormon kid ? This one?

A classic of Mayhem video

The Secret

LMAOOOOO

Strikeforce:AKANO vs. Cyborg is OFF(update)

As you already know, Akano san vs. Cyborg has been off. You can see what Cyborg`s camp told Akano san`s camp during the negotiation at here.

Strikeforce bought that EliteXC and now started the same thing around that SUMO Fighter. Or MUCH WORSE. 7 pounds over? Catch weight at 150??? HUH?

UPDATE: Megumi Fujii, the #1 115 er and Akano san`s team mate wrote that they decided to fight . I CANT BELIEVE THIS

A Tragic Battle

A Tragic Battle by Kenichi Nagira

A Tragic Battle

by Kenichi Nagira(1973)

This legendary Folk song of 70s got
banned from all TV, Radio in Japan like
“Imagine” by John Lennon, “What’s
Going On” by Marvin Gaye got treated.

lyrics:

I had never ever seen such a tragic view before,
It happened at “Kokugikan”, the National Sumo Hall
almost 10 years ago from now.

“The Giant” Raiden and
“The Chef from the Hell” Waka Chichibu,

Fighting in the Ring of Honor “Dohyo”,
the action was back and forth, Toe to Toe,
complete even until “that moment”…
Sweat had driped from both foreheads, and
made the belts wet.

No one had any ideas this wet belt
would make “it” at this time. No one had
imagined the wet belt would be the
cause of scary and tragic battle…. yet.

You must know the Gravity is totally
something fearful, everything
that is floating drops on the Ground.

As an inevitable result, the belt of
Waka chichibu also…

Dropped.

However, You know it was aired on National
TV “NHK”, They tried to turn off the camera.
The only unfortunate thing was that
the camera man was a part-timer,
He had focused on “it” instead of turning off
the cam…

Make it worse, the announcer of the radio
was too highly skilled, He shouted to
the listners to turn on the TV
to watch what is going on themselves.
So everybody…

watched “it”.

However, You know it was at Kokugikan the
National Sport of Japan “Sumo” Hall,
They tried to turn off the light.
The only unfortunate thing was
that a part-time worker was
working on that day. He lighted up with
the spotlight instead of turning off
the light…

Thirty thousands fans of Sumo all
over Japan accidentaly found the
fact that:

“Huge guys have tiny  **** “

It`s a sad FACT, All Japanese had
leaned it at this time.

However, the Referee was that great
Shozaburo Kimura. He tried to cover
“it” with that some kind of fan
he always has in his hand. The only
unfortunate thing was, Shozaburo was
also upset during the accident. He Slapped
“it” hard instead of covering with
“Gunbai”…

However there was a Young Sumo “Asashio”
who is very smart,talented and considerate.
He had showed up with a blanket immediately.
The only unfortunate thing was, He was
still young and not ready for sudden
accident like that at this time.

Asashio rushed to the ring straight. Rushed
too much and got tripped on the Dohyo ring,
then fell down Unfortunately.

You also must know that the Inertia is completly
something awful, Nothing could stop his
Big sumo body.

Panicked Asashio could think only one
thing at the moment.

Only one thing came to his mind.

Is there anything to support my body?
Is there anything to grasp ???

He gazed around to find something
to grasp momentary. Then he found…

“IT”…

Oh lord, I have never seen such a
tragic battle in my life…

We LOVE Sumo Wrestling !!
