Volcom's Anabeta, Adamantium, Division I, Titanium XL, Erase Log

I've heard from several people that train with BTT affiliates that Palhares does not have a lot of people willing to train with him. They all say that he goes way too hard and tries to hurt people in training.

Same with Mighty Mo. He tries to KO his sparring partners and not incidentally, he just goes full board at all times, so no one likes to spar with him.

Marcelo is so good. His facial expression while he's rolling is like he's having tea & biscuits, but then he explodes into some sick sweep and submission.

Lol, was that for real? That James Brown bit was hilarious. Were they training at 10th Planet? Cause Eddie Bravo teaches stoned all the time, so it'd be weird for Joe Rogan to get confronted at such a weed friendly gym.

Not sure what was going on, but he did his hesearch on Joe Hogan.

Joe Rogan does a great job impersonating a Brazilian-English accent when he's trying to sound like Rickson Gracie teaching BJJ.
 
I had another unscheduled surprise today. Yesterday, my normal workout partner Dusty didn't make it to delts day, so I ended up doing all O-lifts. Today, I was planning on doing legs, but when I got to the gym, I ran into this dude who's been wanting to lift with me forever. I guess last week he'd been coming in around 4:30pm, which is my normal lifting time, to try and catch me and jump in on a workout. He came up to me when I walked in and asked what I was going to lift today, I said legs and he said he was doing back, but I know he's been wanting to lift with me for awhile now, so I said eff it, get your wraps and lets hit some back. I had to pick up the intensity even higher then normal today, because I obviously didn't want to let the guy down after wanting to lift together for so long, so I put him (and myself) through the effing ringer.

Rashad Evans really, really wanted to fight Jon Jones in December.

Rumors began surfacing on Wednesday that the UFC were trying to put together a December fight at UFC 140 between light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and challenger Rashad Evans, but UFC President Dana White quickly threw water on the story stating that Evans still had pins in his hand from a hand injury suffered in his fight with Tito Ortiz.

Sources speaking to MMAWeekly.com verified that Evans actually had the pins removed from his hand on Wednesday, but the former light heavyweight champion will have to undergo about 3 weeks of physical therapy before he’s allowed to return to full training.

Evans is scheduled to appear at this weekend’s UFC Fan Expo in Houston, and would not begin his treatment until next week.

By the time the treatment ended, Evans would only be about four weeks out from his scheduled bout with Jon Jones, also not knowing if physical therapy would go well and he wouldn’t suffer any setbacks during that time period.

According to sources, Evans was chomping at the bit to accept a fight with Jones in December, but the hand injury and his doctor’s advice simply outweighed his desire.

For now however, Evans will rehab his hand and wait for the call from the UFC to book his fight with Jon Jones.

It just won’t be on Dec 10 at UFC 140.

I'm not one to believe in curses, but my gawd, Rashad's road back to the LHW belt has been the most obstructed path ever. Who's next in line, Lyoto? But Lyoto is on Dana's unfriended list since his last "I want Anderson Silva money" fiasco, so I wonder. Phil Davis???

Not sure if the world is ready for a Shogun/JBJ II yet, but Hendo would be interesting. I buy that the Shogun that arrived on fight night against JBJ was far from a 100% Shogun, but still. Tap out by strikes takes some time to live down.

He complains that his usual workout partners lack intensity and like-strength'ness, so I wanted to give him a grade A workout to appease his appetite for something more. He did bend over in pain and exhaustion a couple times. He wasn't use to the fast in & out intervals from set to set, so I know he had a rough time, but that's the kind of impressions I like to leave.

I had a feeling Lyoto would get the bump. It does suck hard for Rashad, he's been derailed by odd circumstances one too many times now. That being said, I've speculated for awhile now that Lyoto has a better chance agains JBJ then anyone else in the division. Rasjad/JBJ has the drama interest for sure, but in my personal opinion, Lyoto/JBJ may be a more competitive match. War Lyoto. Also, a good change of luck for Lyoto, he wasn't suppose to be set to fight again until sometime in 2012.

In regards to Rashad/JBJ. I believe in terms of training, that Rashad's claims that he was outwrestling JBJ may be true, when they're strictly roling together, but once you incorporate striking, I don't see Rashad being able to better JBJ when he's able to ulitize his entire arsenal.

I don't mind this fight, should be interesting style wise. I want to see Hendo fight Jones.

I want to see Hendo fight Jones, too, but I see Hendo having trouble with JBJ's reach. Hendo, like Rampage, has dynamite in his fists, but it's a matter of getting close enough to JBJ to plant that bomb clean on the jaw. Hendo has a TD threat that Rampage didn't, but Hendo isn't really a double leg shooter and I just don't see JBJ letting someone like Hendo close enough to get wrapped up. I'd love to be wrong, because I'd be rooting for Hendo all the way if/when that fight goes down, but I see Hendo facing the same challanges as Rampage, perhaps Hendo won't be paralyzed to the same extent as Rampage, but still. What are anyone elses speculations on a JBJ/Hendo?

Rare Footage of Mark Coleman and Mark Kerr training for UFC 14 (1997)

The video starts off shaky, but clears up quickly. I started watching MMA in 1998, so I recall watching these guys fight when they were still kings.

Mark Kerr....what could have been. All the physical tools in the world, but lacked the intangibles.

Ironically, the best wrestler in the video is in the background: Kevin Jackson (Olympic gold medalist).

I agree with you 100%, the first fight I think of is Rich Franklin vs Hendo, even tho hendo won(imo he didn't), he had a very hard time dealing with Franklin's style of switching up all the time with punches and kicks, I think JBJ will most likely **** him up real good with kicks, but would be a fun match up to watch.

Now is it just me or is anyone else waiting for the day to see JBJ break someones leg with that front kick to the knee? same with Anderson Silva, man those look painful!
 
I'm feeling a little beat. I'm not sure if it's because I'm overworked or underslept, but I'm feeling a bit deflated today. I finally got to hit legs today, but I'm thinking I should have rested today. Usually, after a strong workout I feel invigorated, but I'm feeling pretty lethargic right now.

Sumo Deads
*I didn't really give these a real go. It was more of a feel out for the movement because I wanted to switch from Conventional Deads to Sumo's, because Sumo's are a bit more lumbar sparing. I really want to like these, but I just don't. Naturally, Conventional Deads feel the most natural because I have years of practice with them and the Sumo's just feel funky. I may give them more chances to see if I acclimate to them, but I don't know, I just don't like them.*

Yeah, Rampage looked visibly pained and rattled when he got nailed by one of those knee-push kicks. Rampage turned and looked at the ref for some reason when he got hit by a nasty one, like, WTF, are these legal? That knee-push kick is like a Wing-Chun kick. I've seen other fighters use it (Struve used it on Barry), but I've only ever seen JBJ make it really punishing, instead of like an odd & annoying poke.

Goddamn those are some NICE front squats. I kinda want to add those in to my workouts. Dang though I really need to get the damn bar holding down.. it just hurts soo much lol.. Feels like i'm pinching a vein.... my whole outer forearm goes numb... I've been thinking I should just do high pulls but for front squats... Zerchers can only be done so heavy because I like the skin and blood flowing in my arms...

UFC 140 – Lyoto Machida on facing Jon Jones: “Nobody is invincible”

“I was at a birthday party last night and I heard I’d be fighting Jon Jones. I accepted immediately, I couldn’t announce it at the time, though. Ed and Joinha told me to hold the information and it was complicated, I had to stop talking at all (laughs). In the morning I want to give a class and, when I came back, the contract was there for me to sign it. It was a reason for me to be happy, because that’s why we enter these battles for. It’ll be a strategic bout, he’s a guy who studies his opponents and so do I. Our team is a lot focused and anything can happen.”

“It’s hard, he’s is much versatile and knows a lot of techniques, but we play a similar game. He kicks, I kick, he punches and goes to the ground, I can defend myself and take him down too. Stamina and game plan are things that could define this bout’s outcome. Nobody is invincible. We’re training for the best, looking for enlarging our body and mind and that’s what I’m gonna do.”

“I’m already 100%. I used to go to the United States for a different training camp, but I’ve canceled it all with the fight announcement. I’ll focus my camp here and I’ll look for sparring who can come here and will be tough as Jon Jones.”

I think Sonnen gets it no matter what if he wins, but Stann's consideration to challenge the belt may be determined more so by how he wins. I think the UFC wants Sonnen/Silva II and Chael will probaby get it. If you consider the lack of drama between Shields and GSP, yet Shields was unapologetically given GSP after that sad debut against Kampman, how much more does the UFC want to capitalize on the rich drama of Chael/Anderson. The Anderson related Chael'isms have already begun, he made some recent cracks toward Andy's women.
 
I agree that Sonnen gets it with a W, but, if Stann wins, I have no clue who comes next. MW is so ridiculously thin.

Not to mention Stann/Silva is a hideous match up. Stann's primary arsenal by a large margin is his striking and I don't foresee anyone out striking Anderson short of some JBJ/Silva super fight. Even then, I don't see JBJ "outstriking" Anderson, theoretically, but JBJ could probably prevent himself from receiving a magic KO. Andy has to be wrestled into a loss and Stann is a bad candidate for that requisit, so I don't know where Stann would go either. Maybe he would be matched up against Andy out of necessity, but that would be a bad fight.
 
Most Recent Chael'ism

If Chael Sonnen didn't make your cerebellum implode in your head on a weekly basis, then he would be letting the entire MMA world down -- and let's face it, no one wants that. Here's a question for the uninitiated: What do Republican gangsters from West Linn, Oregon do when they're hungry? Easy. They pat their competitor's wife on the butt and tell her to make a medium-rare steak. Well, at least future competitor.

This week on Mauro Ranallo's 'The MMA Show,' Chael Sonnen made yet another legendary appearance and just before hanging up the phone with Mauro, he wanted Ranallo to relay a message to Anderson Silva regarding his wife.

"You tell Anderson Silva I'm coming over and I'm kicking down his backdoor and patting his little lady on the ass and I'm telling her to make me a steak, medium-rare just how I like it."

If you listen closely, you can hear Anderson Silva's speed-dialing his phone in Curitba, Brazil, asking Dana White for a rematch to a fight he already won.

Say what you want about Chael, but if he didn't run his mouth (and back it up) prior to the Andy fight, barely anyone would have bought it. Coming off of the Abu Dhabi debacle, which solidified my hatred of him, Andy's stock was so low that there was talk about letting him headline another PPV.

I'm pro Chael. He is without a doubt the sole reason his fight with Andy sold what it did. Any fighter who gets to fight Chael and Chael doesn't like you, should be thankful because Chael will promote a bank roll of cash into your pocket.
 
Alright guys, who are you rooting for or who are you calling to win at UFC 136?

Franke Edgar/Gray Maynard = Maynard by TKO
Jose Aldo/Kenny Florian = Aldo by TKO
Chael Sonnen/Brian Stann = Sonnen by decision
Melvin Guillard/Joe Lauzon = Guillard by KO
Garcia/Nam Pham = Nam by TKO
Maia/Santiago = Maia decision
Pettis/Stephans = Pettis by submission or GnP stoppage

These are the fights I'm realy into. Also, anyone have any speculations on Lyoto/JBJ?

I had a super satisfying back workout. Kleen advised that I give the CNS a break, which I took under consideration, but I still wanted to hit back with my regular lifting partner, so I took a higher volume approach to lessen the intensity.

I'm starting to look and feel like I'm sizing up pretty substantially. I like where my strength and endurance is at and I don't feel too, too heavy. Surprisingly, I was still relatively fresh, but I knew I still intend to lift tomorrow morning, so I wanted to save myself. I really feel this stack is somehow making good use of my carb intake. My strength and/or muscle endurance progression from week to week is uncommonly consistent.
