This is a nice clip of Dave C. executing some beautiful BJJ, check out the first foot sweep, and a subsequent demonstration of very poor sportsmanship by his opponent who lost. Dave showed real class in restraining himself and being humble. Worth the 3 minutes.

Seagal: Lawman
http://www.aetv.com/steven-seagal-lawman/?vid=AETV_Marketing_facebook_seagal
I'll actually watch this. I think Aikido is pretty homo, but he is more correctly a master of Aiki-Jitsu (the forerunner of Aikido)
Aiki-Jitsu was a much harsher and more violent, bone-breaking version of the modern Aikido. Maybe this TV show will feature Seagal using his moves on someone!
We'll see...

UFC 104 - How'd I do?
So the results are in and I have watched the fights via bootleg internet videos...
I called Machida and Shogun exact - unanimous decision. I know that many folks are upset at the outcome, I understand that in close fights you typically gibe the champion the benefit of the doubt.
I was correct in selecting Cain over Ben and I was correct in predicting a TKO. My flaw was that I picked the 1st and it went into the 2nd.
I was also accurate in picking Tibeau over Neer. I was wrong in thinking it would end in submission, it went all the way.
My big disappointment was that I hoped KingFish would hurt Big Daddy. It turned out to be the opposite :(
Overall, not too bad IMO. I guess that being a MMA nerd since 1992 has paid off.

UW: Rise of the Lycans
Tonight...my wife fell asleep tucking Everett in and I decided to pick something on Netflix "watch instantly" to enjoy. I picked this:
It was pretty good. The look reminded me of Lord of the Rings (Helms Deep particularly), the action was classic vamp v. werewolf, the storyline fit nicely with UW mythology, and the new girl was almost a cool as Kate Beckinsale.
If you saw and liked the original UW, I suggest you check this out!

Videos and a quote
This should not be. Bad management. Fedor is gonna hurt this guy bad.

I usually don't advocate BJJ moves for self-protection (or starting shit with shirtless rednecks), but it worked in this instance.

Recently Shane Carwin (fighting Lesnar at UFC 106) said this about his future opponent and former WWE superstar:
“I feel like I have paid my dues and so have a lot of fighters waiting for their shot. Brock is what they call a ‘Draw,’ he sells tickets, I am what they call a ‘Fighter,’ I fight who I am told to fight the way my coaches train me too. We are different people and we treat people different. To me this sport is as much about respect and honor as it is paychecks sound bites.”
I like Carwin. Hes undefeated, a solid striker, and a Div II wrestling champ. I think he has some real skill. He is also the same size as Brock. The question will be if he can overcome the mystique that Brock holds and get his mind ready for a fight of such magnitude.

Kimbo and the Cave
1 - Kimbo lost to Big Country on TUF this past week. Roy executed a good gameplan (once you get hit hard once, go to the ground asap) and it worked. It was an unexciting fight to me however. Kimbo showed some much improved movement and some crisp striking...unfortunately his ground game is super weak (when he side mounts you, turn in to him, make space!) It will take awhile for his ground ability to improve, but I can honestly say that I look forward to seeing a well-rounded MMA fighter name Kimbo in the future.
2 - I went spelunking today (caving) with my buddy Derek. It was fun. The water and slog (cave mud) levels were high. The waterfall was flowing good. We saw a sleeping bat. We saw a swimming salamander. We found some throwup from a past caver with the flu? We found the real pancake squeeze and we found out that I am too wide to get thru it. I experienced dread when I got stuck and then when I got disorientated. It was fun. Enjoy these pics.
