And yes, I’m well aware that I’ve talked repeatedly about conceptual artist Yves Klein’s background as a blackbelt in Judo and resident of the Kodokan.

I’m sorry, but I find that hilarious.

That’s just what he calls it. He has trainned in the same combat sports/martial arts as most MMA fighters. What’s even funnier is that he calls it Thug Jitsu and then comes in wearing a cowboy hat. http://sherdog.com/fightfinder/displayfighter.cfm?fighterid=344
Carlos Newton, who is one of the best grapplers in the world, calls his style Dragon Ball Jiu-Jitsu
Wait - his name is Yves and he comes from Woodlands, Texas? At least there’s no mystery about what makes him so mean!
Seriously, no matter how great your skills are, calling your style “Thug Jitsu” or “DragonballZ Jitsu” is just silly. But I’m in favor of silly. When people take this stuff too seriously it becomes no fun at all.

Eddy Rolon, one of my coaches, has used “Do You Really Want To Hurt Me” as his entrance music for at least one pro fight.
Originally posted by truewrestler anyone watch? Some good fights… Matt Hughes x Frank Trigg was awesome
Lawler/Lytle was good in the first and third rounds. What happened in the second, I dunno. Maybe Lawler’s leg went on him again.
The Baroni stoppage was UTTER BULLSHIT and Landless should go back to reffing school. Jesus. Baroni was totally out of line with the punches and deserves to be suspended, but my god. That was such blatant incompetence on Landless’ part that I was stunned.
Tank/Cabbage was annoying because I was hoping to see a more decisive finish. I hate cut stoppages.
The Lindland/Vitale match was cool. Matt actually demonstrated decent standup. It’s cool to see him improving.
The Hughes/Trigg match was awesome; the wrestling and scrambling was terrific to watch. I could easily have watched a full five rounds of it, and I hope they keep Trigg around in the UFC, and possibly give him an eventual rematch.
