My latest video is here and it’s awesome! I know I always say that but it’s always true. It seems there are not many obvious favourites this time around. Actually the only clear favourite according to the bookies is Joe Stevenson, and wouldn’t you know it? George Sotiropoulos is my UFC 110 upset pick. Check [...]
UFC 109 Relentless Predictions
Posted in Sports Blog, UFC, UFC Predictions, combat sports, mixed martial arts, mma, vlog, tagged mma, mixed martial arts, Mike Swick, Matt Serra, Randy Couture, UFC 109, Mark Coleman, Nate Marquardt, Chael Sonnen, Dan Miller, Demian Maia, Paulo Thiago, Frank Trigg on February 5, 2010 | 2 Comments »
The pay-per-view portion of UFC 109 will open with old dogs (Serra/Trigg) and close with older dogs (Couture/Coleman). Not surprisingly, the most interesting fights take place somewhere in between. It’s always a pleasure to see Nate Marquardt in action, and Miller vs Maia should be compelling, as well. And hey, at least it’s not UFC [...]

Ahhh, amateur MMA. God bless it. On January 23rd, for apparently the first time in the Lower Mainland, MMA went down in a cage. I kind of giggled when promoters made a big deal about the hexagon but it actually was kinda cool in the end. The amateurs were game and aggressive. Wendy Roy blew [...]

From Untitled Album 1. He’s a proud Canuck. Eh? “I was actually born in Brazil, but I will be representing Vancouver (on TUF). I’ve been in Vancouver for over 10 years now,” say Vinicios. “I idolize Denis Kang. He’s like one of our local heroes, y’know? One of the guys I use to look up [...]

From Untitled Album 2009 was crazy! I hardly remember January. I just know that I didn’t have a YouTube account, a website, a Twitter account, an Iphone, and I’d never been to a live MMA event. But my passion for mixed martial arts was growing. I would watch events and shout my observations and musings [...]
Notes From UFC 114: Let’s Get Mental
Posted in Sports Blog, UFC, UFC Commentary, mixed martial arts, mma, tagged Rashad Evans, Diego Sanchez, Dan Miller, UFC 114, Rampage Jackson on May 30, 2010 | 2 Comments »
UFC 114 was interesting to me from a sports psychology perspective. The pay-per-view kicked off with the weirdness of watching Diego Sanchez play counter fighter for 3 rounds. Remember what he looked like as he prepared to begin the 5th round against BJ Penn? His face was busted and he’d been thoroughly destroyed for the [...]
