Thanks d00d! You know, it’d be great if you could sticky these compilations somewhere along the sidebar and chronicle new editions incrementally.

thanks, I’ve been wondering about that as well. How I could find all the judo chop. That works.

Hey

It’s more Christmas spirit than this guy over at 411mania’s 2009 Top 10 (UFC) ranking:

The Last Emperor
Lyoto Macshita is a piece of shit. He lost and then the judges decided tot ake some backhanders. Fuck this site and fuck you all for putting that piece of shit as number one. I hope in the rematch Rua floors him, then disregards the rules and procedes to splatter that piece of shits head all over his feet, and we have the first death in the octagon. I used to be that McDojo black belts fan untill he madehis comments about beating Shogun. That’s when I realised that him and his dad are shits who are trying to do to McShita Karate what Royce did to BJJ. I hope he dies in the octagon.

facepalm No, I don’t get it either.

I’d love to see some of these older technique bits get updated and reevaluated in the light of the game’s evolution as of the start of the next year though. :) For example, the Knees to the Face is almost two years old by now.
