Mixed Martial Arts

Well the quality has greatly improved if you had been able to watch the previous URCC events. The thing is though some of the fighting teams (and styles) here in the country continue to stagnate and stay seemingly unrefined because more often than not clubs who do that still rely on old or outdated training techniques and philosophies.

 

One of those prevailing ideas I actually find astounding in some teams is that despite the sport being Mixed Martial Arts they continue to only rely either on their striking or grappling to try and subdue opponents. They still approach and prepare MMA fights from a traditional, purist standpoint which is not the case in the US or where MMA has really taken a quantum leap.

 

But we're getting there... The pinoy victories at Resort World Singapore's Martial Combat events indicate the continously improving quality of pinoy mma. As URCC founder and Martial Arts hall of famer Alvin Aguilar has stated we actually are the winningest asian race at the moment at the Martial Combat events.

 

 

really? i remember 5 years ago when URCC matched up pinoy MMA fighters against chinese counterparts and none of our kbbayan won. well, maybe that was too long ago..

 

i guess ur ryt..dats why some wrestling base fighters look awkward, when they are striking..

 

is ur based also wrestling? ur from team sprawl right? is dat ut gym in edsa cubao? i saw a banner there.

 

i work as a bank examiner and oftentimes i feel bored during office hours, and i always day dream that i should be doing MMA instead.

 

but my physique doesnt suit my fantasy. i want to try BJJ, but i cant find a reputable school.

im also confused if that is serious or not.

 

remember, Anderson Silva also trains with Steagal before the Sonnen fight.

 

he was also there during the fight, he even embrace A.S. before he enter the octagon.

 

well,, maybe we could Machida triangle Rampage...LOL

^^^ di ki napannod yung kay mark munoz ah. yung dennis-karo pinalabas after bj-matt

 

UFC main event is becoming boring, halos every week na kasi

 

good BJ wins over the hall of famer.

[anatoly]

a little disappointed in the bj vs hughes fight. i was really hoping for a 3 round war, but it was not meant to be. good to see bj back in the win column but kinda sad for hughes even thought i really don't like the guy. it could be the end of the road for matt. on the other hand maybe bj should stay at 170 for a while, he could give any welterweight a run for their money. how about bj vs alves eh? i'd love to see that fight.

 

was it just me or did karo parisyan look skinnier than usual? damn he looked like a normal guy that has done absolutely no training at all. i mean he's never been the type of guy to be lean, but his arms looked really small like zero muscle mass. i thought the fight was at lightweight when i saw how skinny he was.

 

rampage vs machida exceeded my expectations (i guess i was expecting more of a ortiz vs machida type fight). esp. rampage's performance. he didn't look super slow like he did against rashad and he was the one pushing the pace which also showed a significant improvement in his conditioning.

 

i thought machida won though. rounds 1 & 2 were pretty close but i thought he won the 1st and he outright won the final round. but props to rampage for openly admitting that he got an ass whoopin cause he really did in the 3rd - which is how a lot of machida fights look like at one point or another (with the exception of the shogun fight). and just as rampage said i think an immediate rematch should be in order.

 

oh and the fighter from down unda is the real deal. he finished a very tough opponent in joe lauzon. his competition should be upped big time. maybe give him sherk or the winner of dunham vs florian? or if bj decides to move back down he can have a crack at the prodigy. either way sotiropolous is a serious contender and a real test should be put in front of him.

 

oraaaaaaaaaaaayt GSP vs kos is next! can't wait for that one.

You're referring the Art of War event where Mike Banayad, Salvador Domasian, Christian Wong and Mark Sangiao were matched up against fighters from China/Mongolia. Well Christian and Mark made a good accounting of themselves during their fights (Sangiao was actually winning the fight before he got hit with a head kick) and yes we have made great strides since then.

 

Occasionally though you will have a pure wrestler step in there and look awkward on the feet (as Roel Pacional looked against Arnel Arancina) or a kickboxer and look awkward on the ground simply cause some of these matchups were made in a hurry.

 

Yup SPRAWL has two gyms the one you saw in Cubao and another one along Shaw blvd right across pure gold. Why don't you give MMA a try.

 

If you're looking for a BJJ school there are four main BJJ schools in the manila area. Our Team, Team Fabricio BJJ has gyms in makati and shaw blvd in mandaluyong. Head coach is BJJ Blackbelt and multiple time World Seniors and Masters Champion Stephen Kamphuis we also have multiple time SEA Games gold medalist and Academia AZ BJJ Blackbelt John Baylon within our ranks.

 

Deftac has several gyms in the metro they have classes at mojo gym qc, parc house building 2 along edsa near gate 5 but their main school is the BAMF martial arts center in p'que. Head coach is URCC founder, Royce Gracie blackbelt Alvin Aguilar.

 

Then there's also newbreed academy which has dojos at rockwell in makati and tektite building near megamall. Head coaches are BJJ Blackbelts Mike Vives and Justin Doctolero.

 

Lastly there's Vamos Para Frente (VPF) which have their BJJ clases inside the Ateneo de Manila campus. Head coaches are BJJ Brownbelts Ali Sulit and Ralph Go. They are affliated with Ramon Lemos and the well known Atos BJJ.

 

There is no shortage of reputable BJJ schools specially here in metro manila. Why don't you try and visit one of these gyms.

When I saw the look in BJ's eyes before the fight, I knew Matt Hughes would have a long night. As it happened, Hughes only had a short night. I'm curious to see BJ fight Fitch.

alala ko yung sa Art of War sir, si Sangiao nachambahan ng headkick nga sayang fight of the night dun yung kay Babalu

 

boss GF yung Carlos Gracie na school ba eh invite only talaga yun? diba si Isyok Carlos Gracie na?

 

about UFC 123:

Falcao is a beast dapat lang magkaroon ng killer's instict para tinapos na nya kaagad si Harris nung 3rd round

Karo screamed like a girl ulit after he lost... sayang talaga itong fighter na to, had the potential but i was never really a fan

si Phil Davis anlakas! wrist control para ilagay yung buong arm ni Boetsch sa likod tapos sinungkit nung isang kamay nya para ma-complete yung kimura/americana with two hands

J Lau should go back in training with BJ Penn

George is a world class BJJ fighter ang galing ng positioning nya

si BJ Penn simula pa lang bulong na ng bulong hehehehe galit na galit ba

Machida was robbed

machida vs jackson couldve gone either way, could be a draw.

 

the prodigy. shades of old bj. well appreciated.

 

hughes. still respected.

[El Chapo]

demn lumaban pala si M.Munoz di pinalabas sa Studio 23

 

Sana tuloy tuloy na yung ganung form ni BJ Penn, yung yung wala sa kanya sa last 2 fights nya.

 

Naranasan ni Machida yung pakiramdam ni Shogun hehe, di nga lang masyado masakit kasi di naman title fight
