Good vid. Are they competing via weight classes as well as belt rankings and age?

 

[biggun]

Yes.

Under 70kg Blue Belt category. Adult division, so 18 and above. That guy was about 24 IIRC.

If you watched it, what did you think of the Benny U vid

 

[Burnham]

Haken is getting some size to him, sure enough. Good video.

Cory, I watched quite a bit of it last night.

He has some very valid points and techniques but I am afraid I will call BS on anyone who claims to have had 200 fights and never lost.

Especially a Karate guy from the 70’s. I am not saying it is all BS but I ask why did he stop at 200 and how come he never lost?

Even the best guys lose a couple of times.

I still think people like him are still living in the Chick Norris Hollywood era.

 

[biggun]

I did a bit more of a lookup on him.

According to Wiki he lost in a Muay Thai fight and also has around 60-70 fights.

I don’t doubt he was a good fighter though but a bit like Steven Segal. His story my have been massaged a bit when he became and actor.

 

[cory]

Yup, interesting and talented guy, no doubt more lethal than Steven Segal if I had to guess.

 

[biggun]

So.

We have a new UFC Heavyweight Champ on the block.

 

[cory]

Yup. Woulda been fun to see Bones and Tom scrap but oh well I'll settle for seeing Tom scrap whomever.

On Saturday, ufc in Baku, there was a monster war/fight of the night and it outshined all other matchups such that they got 100k$ each instead of the usual 50k.

UFC Baku bonuses: Nazim Sadykhov, Nikolas Motta earn $100K each for incredible brawl

UFC lightweights Nazim Sadykhov and Nikolas Motta were handsomely rewarded for their Fight of the Night effort.

Both our boys were in wrestling as was I back in the day. Great sport and good for sportsmanship. Excellent workouts.

I wrestled on my HS's inaugural team, I wasn't very good but had alot of fun. Was at my HS 50th reunion last weekend, was fun to see the team captain there as well as our former HW who had slimmed down massively and looked great. Was saying to Dennis the captain that I wish I knew then what I know now, I would have been so much better even with the same physical ability.

 

[cory]

Let's be honest, tree work involves a massive amount of grappling whether by human means or machines.

 

[treebilly]

And like wrestling, you lose a match every now and then
