official UFC statement

UFC announced that it has suspended Jon Jones indefinitely and stripped him of the light heavyweight title as a result of violations of the organization’s Athlete Code of Conduct Policy. Jones was recently arrested in Albuquerque, N.M. on a felony charge of leaving the scene of an accident involving personal injury. As a result of the charge and other violations of the Athlete Code of Conduct Policy, the organization believes it is best to allow Jones time to focus on his pending legal matters.

UFC feels strongly that its athletes must uphold certain standards both in and out of the Octagon. While there is disappointment in the recent charges, the organization remains supportive of Jones as he works through the legal process.

With this decision, UFC has determined that No. 1 contender Anthony Johnson will now fight No. 3 contender Daniel Cormier for the UFC light heavyweight championship at UFC 187 on May 23 in Las Vegas.

Mga parekoy, intermission muna. Came across this and its just so inspirational. This dude is really a warrior. It makes me feel sorry na tayo ngang mga normal at wala naman kapansanan sinasayang natin sarili natin, not going out there to be the best of what we can be, giving one million excuses why we refuse to even workout. This made me amped up. Imma go back to the gym tomorrow and really train hard

I don't have much time to go to gym or dojo except for the house of my old man where i used to train before but now that my old man is dead I want to check if I can still fight, If I still can then I will find a good group to join and train.

 

don't take this the wrong way, but train first then fight, not the other way around. Big chance that you'll get seriously hurt if you fight first then train.

 

MMA is a complicated sport, you can't just put gloves on and brawl, if you want to fight, and succeed, do it properly.

Q: where is the best place to train mma/bjj around manila? Thanks

 

I can't give an opinion as to what the "best" school is, because my answer would be biased. But all of the BJJ academies here are quality (the Philippines has one of the most active and winningest BJJ communities in all of south east asia, we have the most homegrown black belts too)

 

there's a deftac group in La Salle you can check that out

You can also train with judo legend and BJJ blackbelt John Baylon in Manila (If you don't know who John Baylon is, I suggest googling him)

There's also KMA in Makati, under World Champion Stephen Kamphuis.

I want vitor to win, but Weidman is just too strong and too skilled to lose this one.

 

I am a Vitor Belfort fan since the open weight tournaments of the UFC. I have seen him lose and I saw him improve outside the UFC. Significant improvement in his striking was observed during his stint in Affliction MMA. Afterwards, he moved back to the UFC were he dominated until he lost to Anderson. I believe that losing to Anderson made him realize that kicks are an effective weapon because he defeated his last 2 opponents (Michael Bisping by headkick and Luke Rockhold by spinning heel kick) using kicks as the most damaging strike. He also used kicks more often in his last 2 fights compared to all of his previous fights. I am rooting for Vitor. However, I also give credit to Weidman's skills. His strong wrestling base will obviously be a big factor since I do not expect him to stand toe to toe against Belfort unless he plans to land a head kick (front kick) like Anderson. Vitor is not know for his ground work against decorated wrestlers. It will be interested to see how the fight will unfold. Whatever happens "The Phenom" will always one of the most exciting fighters in history.
