i haven't seen one of those since oleg taktarov was barely beaten by dan severn ... that was like ufc 7 or something ... before they made weight classes ... it's all different now, i don't like it.
Jacko they are deffinately worth watching still. It is a lot more technical now but there should be some insane fights on this card. There are some big guys that can scrap in this one. Should be a good one to watch.
I used to train with Marice Smith, he held the title for a while. I'm too old for that now, but still enjoy watching. I get a workout by just watching, especially if it's someone I know.
I've taught for Pat Miletich for the last 8 years. It seems like for the last few years there has been someone from our gym in just about all of them. We just recently had writer/director John Herzfeld hangout for a week here. He was studying the fighters for a movie he is writing. Its pretty cool having people like that come to little Bettendorf, IA.
Hey, bring your cameras if you want a picture for the "Pain" challenge. Capture that "look" when someone is applying an arm-bar!!
I saw a relatively small girl walk into the ring with a huge guy, catch him with a flying arm bar and nearly make him cry..both for pain and being beaten by a girl in under 10 seconds .. hahaha hilarious!
