Coke Zero likes to sponsor fighters

admin — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 07:29:30 +0000

Looks like Coca-cola Zero likes to sponsor fighters and things about fighting. My spy in Hong Kong sent me this shot of an unnamed but presumably ranked fighter smiling for Coke Zero and we hope he is getting a nice paycheck for it.

But ah yes, that brings to mind another sighting of Coke Zero. They were also a sponsor embossed on the mat for a PRIME mma fight in Brazil. It looks like MMA fighter Eder Jones had a big swig of the sponsor beverage after winning his fight.

Oferecimento,coca cola zero!

I recall that Coke annoyed a lot of people in Vancouver when they enforced their exclusive deal with VOC making it basically a CoKe only event. Maybe they should let the athletes have something a little easier on the stomach after competing. Just saying…

2	Kickboxing, super welterweight, 150lbs	Siavosh Fard, SKA Burnaby BC	Def.	Karen Vrar, Bisla Martial Arts Surrey BC	Went to the judges. Fard had dynamite spinning back kicks and spinning hook kicks, but we also saw a late kick after the round 2 bell. A close fight, and one judge gave it to Vrar while the other two gave it to Fard for the majority decision.

4	Muay Thai, junior welterweight 145lbs	Jay Hosseini Universal Martial Arts Maple Ridge BC	Def.	Jordan Gieble Canada’s Best Karate Victoria	Hosseini came out hard and fast and aggressive from the start. He put in a leg kick so hard Gieble was given a standing count. Gieble had to favor the leg for the rest of the match until the referee called stoppage, and TKO win for Hosseini.
5	Muay Thai, Welterweight 147 lbs	Lute Ganief WKX Surrey BC	Def.	Terrance Viloria Mendoza Fight Team Surrey BC	Unanimous judges decision, to Lute Ganeif. Viloria faded a bit in round 3 after being well matched and aggressive throughout the fight.

9	MMA, Pacific Northwest Welterweight Title	Leo Xavier Universal Martial Arts Vancouver BC	Def.	Marquez Bryant Crisis MMA Olympia Wa	Initial parrys led to Leo Xavier getting the upper position and eventually was able to work it into a full mount – but not without a fight from Bryant. Leo transitioned into an armbar from mount and as Bryant was making every effort to escape, he turned it into a triangle. Nice show of skills for a 1:51 round 1 win by triangle choke.
10	Muay Thai Middleweight 160 lbs	Andrew Lewis Nak Muay Duncan Island BC	Def.	Bruce Khademi WKC Surrey BC	Lewis showed awesome persistence with high kicks in a very evenly contested matchup. He would get the majority decision from the judges.
11	MMA middleweight 185 lbs	Kyle Warman Gracie Barra Arts Kelowna BC	Def.	Tyrone Anderson Tactics MMA Vancouver BC	Both warriors in this matchup battled massively in the first round to no real outcome. They both deeply depleted their gas tanks and had to demonstrate deep resolve to fight the next 2 rounds of 3 minutes each The judges would give it unanimously, 29 – 28 to Kyle Warman, despite that Warman spending so much time in round 3 under mount.
12	MMA Light heavyweight 190 lbs	Kiarash Moghaddam Versus Training Center Vancouver BC	Def.	David Correa Crisis MMA Olympia Wa	Kiarash Moghaddam managed Correa well enough on the ground to take the side arm choke position and finish the fight at 1:30 of round 1.
13	Muay Thai, Pacific Northwest Welterweight Title	Josh Jauncey WKX Surrey BC	Def.	Jason Hinds Pound 4 Pound Markham Ontario	An exciting well matched fight that showed lots of sweeps, the fighters ramped up their efforts with each round. Jauncey pulled out ahead in round 5. He even showed some flashy ducking and weaving and a round kick resulting from being swept. Judges would give the fight unanimously to Jauncey.

You are jamming a hard bone into the throat

admin — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 07:19:14 +0000

Xtreme Couture Jiu-jitsu coach Neil Melanson came to Revolution Chilliwack over the weekend to teach a seminar on grappling for MMA. I am still going over my photos from the two day seminar – we drilled tons of techniques. One clever little trick is this choke. Call it “Front fist choke while cradling the head from the mount position”. Or, as Neil Melanson put it, “You are jamming a hard bone up into the throat”. Its a shocking little choke for sure and it is all the more nasty by the fact that, my lord, it takes almost no pressure at all to impose enough pain for a submission from your opponent.

Canada vs US Soldier 1 Man Tug of War

Here are a couple of real warriors going at it! Came across this on YouTube and it has to be reblogged.

Text from the YouTube post at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsPIzRsUtlE

Prior to the departure of 31 Canadian Brigade Group (31 CBG) personnel from Camp Atterbury, Indiana, Canadian soldiers observed US National Guard soldiers playing an interesting version of the game Tug of War. 31 CBG soldiers were fascinated by the spectacle and cheered on the competitors. Finally, one young Canadian soldier dared to challenge the hometown crowd, and put national pride on the line. In this video, Master Corporal John Celestino of the Windsor Regiment, participates in a game of Tug of War with a US National Guard soldier. This version of the game builds esprit de corps and really works the leg muscles…just ask Master Corporal Celestino!

Go Canada! But seriously, any way this matchup went down, this looks like a super tough conditioning exercise. Those legs are going to hurt tomorrow! OSU!
