Just got my hands on some 2007 results from Guam, and came across this story. Photo by bert671; UG post by Roxanne Modafferi.
"My teammate Yoichi Fukumoto just did something amazing, and I want it recognized. He fought IN THE POURING RAIN, got beat up, and managed to win via arm bar. I was reading the blog of his cornerman Iida and they were saying it was like a nightmare...how the heck do you train for fighting in the rain? I can't imagine!"
His opponent was Alex Castro.

Holy Mother of Awesome.
The mat is my church, the ground is my heaven, Jiu-Jitsu is my religion. And once you hit the ground you're in my world. My world is like the ocean, I’m like a shark and most people don't even know how to swim - Draculino

They had this fight in the place where the UFC does all it’s photo shooting.
Keep firing Assholes!
In Idaho, it's illegal to f--- a porcupine. You know why? Because someone tried it.

Thi is just sickening, the fighters shouldn’t have to deal with this crap! Why could they not find a ring indoors?
for all intents and purposes, just consider all my posts as works of satire.
