You've got it backwards
Let’s make sure Bob Reilly DOES get a hold of this.
Unsanctioned events like this are happening throughout New York every week. One of the most important reasons for sanctioning MMA is to put an end to ghetto shit like this.
Ironically
There are tons of places to get a sanctioned fight in Florida.

No. In Kill Bill it was an homage to Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee wore it in Game of Death.

While growing up I watched Clint Eastwood, JCVD and Bruce Lee movies with my dad. It didn’t matter that I was a kid, he didn’t care especially since I really loved those movies.
I recommend watching as many of those movies as possible. It’s worth it.

Clint, JCVD, Seagal, Stallone, and Arnold were all in my rotation as a kid.

You gotta admit though:
those dudes seemed to have a better appreciation for the ground game than most fans.
Apparently blaxsplosiveness is the best base for MMA.
Seriously though, I thought there were a ton of Latinos in Miami? Why aren’t there any youtube videos of Hector Lombard’s little cousins throwing down at quincineras?
his cousins are probably still in cuba
or australia…

He was getting fucked up in the beginning of that fight
doesn’t really bode well for his chances
I’ve got big walnuts. Gorilla nuts.
I don’t think he was taking too much damage. The guy he was fighting was windmilling like crazy. It’s hard to get a shot off when a guy is that aggressive. It’s also tough when you are fighting in a dinky little ring where the ropes are at about knee height. He took very few flush shots, weathered the storm, and then took the guy to school.
Of course, the caliber of fighter he will face on TUF will much different. I don’t like his chances against a more disciplined opponent.
Don't forget
they were fighting on grass too. I’m not sure but it also looked like there were people sitting in the ring lol
A lot of balls to...
go in there bare knuckle like that. I actually thought when he had the triangle locked in the guy refereeing was going to separate them. Thank god he didn’t. Would have been Kimbo vs Gannon all over.
We bare knuckle fought weekly growing up.
Getting hit with boxing gloves sucked way more, to me at least. Most guys have soft hands and I got a hard head, so I didn’t mind getting hit. One of the best gifts a fighter can have is bony, sturdy hands. Its like swinging a a club around or throwing a baseball at someone. You just cause so much more damage than someone with soft hands. Oddly enough, my face never got marked up fighting, just scratches or maybe a swollen lip. I had a black eye once from a sucker head butt, even that didn’t hurt. On the flip side, I’ve closed eyes with my jab.
You should try it at least once. Once you just throw em, you forget about everything and just fight.

don’t you fight in a cage?
That takes more balls to me.

by B.H. Farnsworth on Sep 11, 2010 2:18 PM EDT up reply actions
Nope.
No cage fighting here. Would like to start training at a local gym, considering it would be helpful in my profession.
I’ve never mutually agreed to a bare knuckle fight. I had my fair share of fights growing up as a kid. I slap boxed and put gloves on with friends. But bare knuckle fighting was never something we thought about.
In the past 2 years training for my job I have been pretty unlucky. Broken ribs and that was with gloves and a mallet fracture from bare knuckles to my instructors head. I need to drink more milk apparently.
You just gotta hit more hard objects. :)
Like an idiot, I’ve punched everything solid enough to take it for about 10 years now. I’ve punched windshields,old school TVs, refrigerators, stone walls, steel poles etc. Most of the time I didn’t hurt my hand. No breaks ever. These days, I punch steel or stone objects. Not that hard, but solid and cleanly. Although, I used to drink a gallon of milk a day, so you might be right.
The most important part of punching, fighting probably, is staying calm. Almost like you don’t care. The other thing is making your punches count. Slap boxing is good practice, cause you have to be quick and accurate. I just kinda let me hands fly loosely, even though the punches don’t seem hard to me, people get hurt. I don’t want to sound like a douche(probably way too late), but I’ve dropped grown men with light punches. Just cause I’m stepping into the punches as I flick it out there.

I remember you had some kind of semi-violent job.
Are you a bouncer? Military? Security?
Don’t mean to sound preachy like I know everything about fighting. I’ve just been in a lot of scraps and bare knuckle fights, pretty much fought all the time since I was about 12. I never really accomplished much outside of sports and fighting.

If I recall correctly Kimbo v1.1 got mounted by his opponent but the ref stood them up for no reason at all and DaDa got the KO.

ya ok "bruce leroy"
definetly not bruce lee on the feet! not bad raw talent but not winning the show by anymeans. Where were all the kicks and punches that we’ve never seen before?
It’s hard to get off kicks when a guy is coming forward that much, and I don’t think he had any intention of throwing punches (hence the lack of gloves). He was obviously looking to submit the guy and went without gloves to improve his odds of getting the tap.
Yeah
The dark dude had bad intentions. I wouldn’t have fucked around kicking either. Not if I could strangle him.

Kimbo did counter program that grill party.

How come he didnt mention “Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon” as a reference to his nickname? I thought it was a homage to what I consider one of the greatest movies (and soundtracks!) of all time.
He did.
He said he saw the movie and looked like the dude so the name stuck.

he doesnt name the movie
He just briefly and quietly kinda alludes to the character. I want more. Perhaps some got left on the cutting room floor. Also, that jive coolie is no bruce leroy. Lastly how about a cw fight with Rodney “Sho Nuff the Master” Wallace? It has to happen!

No arguement here.
I don’t think there’s really a chance to do any decent Kung Fu in the cage when you’re that scrawny. Yager was big and strong enough to get a kick off occasionally, he just sucked at strategy and had no heart. Even Cung Le is a state champion wrestler.

I hope that was an old fight
because his technique sucked all the way around. No game fighter is going to hand you that triangle on a silver platter like that.
Chael Sonnen has no idea what you mean by "triangle".
What is that, some kind of pygmy move?

Sadly
My childhood consisted of my dad and uncle making my little brother and I fight our cousins. Like dogs or something. The whole neighborhood would be outside watching. It was fun though. Nobody really got hurt.

Shit did get heated sometimes.
That’s for sure. They call that baptism by fire. I actually thought it was normal for all black families.
I actually heard my cousin say he had $100 on his baby daughter in a fight. True story.

We at least had grass.
although, at times, we’d fight in the garage.
What were the adults in thinking? Looking back on it though. I’m happy to have the experience. When people say the wanna fight? I’m like “no guns? Cool, lets get it.”
Even though here in Oregon, I ain’t fighting nowhere I can’t escape from. Fuck measure 11.

I try to avoid physical conflicts now. Just cause its not worth all the trouble. I still have relapses and the occasional nigga moment. When I was young, it was almost an everyday thing. You just kinda get used to it. Watching your back everywhere you go. You always have friends with you. Always ready in case shit goes down. Its hard for me to turn off that switch now. I’m a relaxed, chill dude, but certain things, like blatant disrespect, draw a direct violent response from me. No questions asked. Not really something I’m proud of. Something I’m learning to deal with.

I was a blue eyed white kid growing up in NE Portland, being aware of my surroundings is a constant and probably always will be. The other night my gf was coming home late and she was wondering why I didn’t think Popeyes was such a good idea at midnight. Sierra Denali, 24’s, and a tiny Persian girl driving not happening.

You know, i always assumed you was a black man.
Even though I recall you saying otherwise. Not that it matters. You definitely know your way around a slum. And you know the easiest way to get ahead in life, a good woman. I mean you even know about the Sugar Shack. You sure you’re not black?
I have white cousins from N Portland that are more gangster than my black ones. I used to live on 82nd and Brazee, and Borthwick, off Fremont. They lived on MLK and Killingsworth. Stripes, my friend. Stripes. Back in those days, you had to be a tough white boy to live in N/NE Portland.

McGloughlin and Hawthorne were previous addresses. I have a diverse set of friends that have led me to some pretty interesting experiences. It is amazing how many different worlds exist right around us and must people have no clue. That’s Portland and its one of the reason I have a hard time leaving this place. Also I got ahead awhile back when I was 19 and been doing well since but you’re right my girl is lightyears ahead of me and only a few years older.

Felony Flats
in upper SE was my old haunts. Lived next to a meth den where they had two German Shepherds off leash running their yard all day and night. Was hard to get any sleep until the day the SWAT team showed up and carted everyone away. Then a stripper and a pimp moved in. I wanted to kill the absentee landlord….
Thank gawd for sudafed locked up behind the counter. Fewer house labs, but more Mexican gang profit.
But most of Portland is really cool, outside of those areas mentioned above and yours.
I love how ignorant the crowd is
They’re vehemently cheering the slams but have no idea the guy is caught in a triangle and getting choked unconscious.
