Tweet After the rather unexciting fight card of UFC 110 this weekend’s event features a Welterweight title fight between Canadian George St.Pierre and Dan Hardy from Nottingham. On the surface it seems as though Hardy will simply be just another victim for GSP, as he is relatively untested in the UFC. But Hardy is dangerous, he’s an athletic busy fighter, very strong standing up with plenty KO power. He has spent time training with...

In a comment on an earlier post Boris B asked for some tips on how to get people who can’t let go sufficiently to vocalise whilst striking.

It seems that the Mayweather camp has been casting doubts over Pacquiao’s status in regard of performance enhancing drugs, despite there being no evidence at...
Tweet Martial Arts Injuries; damage to knee joint Often martial arts injuries occur at the knee and these frequently occur as a result of training ignoring the structure of the knee. The knee complex prefers to function strictly as a hinge, with flexion and extension being the primary motions, although a lesser amount of...
Tweet Jon Fitch vs Johny Hendricks With the UFC being increasingly strict, getting videos that last of Friday nights UFC 141 show is not straightforawrd, certainly ones you can embed. So I’m almost overjoyed to have this link of Jon Fitch against Johny Hendricks from UFC 141, the last of 2011. With GSP out for...
