Submission Of The Year 2011

by Brendan

We have been treated to a lot of amazing submissions in 2011 but this one really stood out for me. No before you ask it wasn’t a submission in the UFC, or Strikeforce, Dream, even Bellator. It happened in BAMMA right here in the United Kingdom. Danny Mitchell’s flying triangle on Dean Amasinger is my [...]

by Brendan

If you have been reading this site for a while you will remember that I predicted Lyoto Machida would give Jon Jones his toughest test to date and I wasn’t wrong when the two finally met at UFC 140. But as we all know what sets true champions apart from the rest is how they [...]

Paul Sass Demonstrates The Flying Triangle

by Brendan

Paul Sass did not earn his nickname “The Sassangle” by knocking guys unconscious with head kicks. The man knows what he is good at and it’s BJJ. His submission game is good, very good. More accurately it is his triangle choke. 8 of his 12 career victories have by way triangle and the other 3 [...]

We are used to seeing Chael Sonnen trash talking Anderson Silva or taking his opponent down with his superior wrestling and punching him in the face for 15 minutes.

Etim came [...]

Mixed Martial Artists Subdue Armed Robber

by Brendan

Whoever says that Mixed Martial Arts and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are both useless for self defence needs to take a look at this video. We need to remember that BJJ, Muay Thai, Judo & Sambo were primarily invented to be used as martial arts for individuals to defend themselves from would-be assailants. We get so caught [...]

Nick Diaz And His Superhuman Cardio

by Brendan

If you’ve watched any of Nick Diaz’s fights in the last few years it almost seems like he never gets tired. In fact he seems to get more energy as the fight wears on. If you saw how he outworked BJ Penn at UFC 137 you will understand what I mean. The first round was [...]

Greg is also the MMA coach of fighters such as Georges St-Pierre, Jon Jones, Carlos Condit & Shane Carwin.

Jon Jones Looks Untouchable

by Brendan

As I sat watching UFC 135 last weekend one thing became thoroughly apparent to me: Jon Jones looked invincible when he was fighting Quinton (Rampage) Jackson. With his diverse range of striking including spinning back fists, spinning back elbows and Steven Segal esq front kicks. Not to mention his submission grappling and his Greco-Roman wrestling [...]
