I have to assume they hid the roman numerals in the title with the V being in part of the Y and the I being in part of the B.

As much as you said, you didn't really say anything beyond "it's not as good as godfather and star wars, they were really popular". However, you cannot deny the insight in regards to the effect roman numerals have on a film and it's progeny.

Plus the Bourne series are not marked by roman numerals. It can't be a IIIlogy without roman numerals.

When I say "should" be 200 lbs. I mean in regards to conventional weight/bmi standards. I'm talking about guys who are over six feet and walk around at a buck eighty, rather than making a severe cut down. We could talk all day why heavyweights aren't as skilled as guys a hundred pounds lighter, from demographics to physiology, but I think eventually the division will catch up with the rest, and when that happens... oh boy. One of the big reasons I find this stuff so interesting, MMA and BJJ specifically, is that it very much is an evolutionary system that is progressing so fast and the reasons for it are just as interesting. BJJ/MMA very much is something that lives and dies in competition, whereas a lot of TMA are so coddling that it limits growth and you don't get to truly see what specific thing works and doesn't (and what is seen as something that "works" may not actually work at all in a legit fight). Submission grappling in particular has an advantage in allowing it's practitioners to practice and spar at a high percentage of effort and aggression, whereas striking arts have to worry about protecting the opponent/partner a lot more. And that's why I love the fact that there are so many tournaments and shit going on now, it seems there are at least a half-dozen big time competitions in the GTA alone in a year, and clubs are forming identities and reps which I think is a positive, so when these meets happen the competitive spirit is all the more intense.

Do you even have to throw in the "if"? Can I just say "Dude, you gotta see this guy named Cirk. The dude is a monster on the mat. Unreal skills. With that dude, there is no guard. Only passing when on top, and subs and sweeps from the bottom. Fucker once choked a dude out with the dudes own shin - we called it the blow-go-plata cause the dude was a step away from sucking his own cock." The thing is, in regards to heavyweights, most guys who are between 6'0 and, say, 6'3, who "should" walk around over 200 lbs, if they are in lean, physical shape can easily drop 20 lbs lower and maintain a ton of strength and size. So any of the guys who are in that range and are over 200lbs, odds are they aren't in that same class of conditioning. Having said that, some of the time all you need are the basics in offense if you are big and strong enough to handle your opponents and avoid their subs. In no-gi, it's even more beneficial to be big because you can slip out of sub attempts easier because they don't have the gi to hold on to. But in the gym, if all you are facing are guys who are 30 pounds lighter than you, you aren't going to develop at a suitable rate of speed. To a point you will, but it won't be enough if you are in the heavyweight division taking on a big brazilian dude who is used to facing other big brazilian dudes. You're gonna get tooled because you just aren't used to dealing with someone being able to handle what would normally be your superior power. Or you go against Marcelo Garcia and he climbs your back like a monkey and castigates you.

Only if you promise to cry after I tear it up and piss on the pieces! Bocek has made similar comments in regards to giving out belts and seems to be extra strict as a result. A lot of the time it's just doing it for the money, where if a guy doesn't get a belt he doesn't feel like he's made any progress and will stop paying for lessons; thinking it is a waste of time. Events like these help establish, at least for me, who the ones to watch are, and as an extension, which clubs are producing the best talent and are repping the state of the art in canadian grappling. And hey, this ain't Soccer or anything, so I don't think it's unrealistic to think that in less than a decade we'll be seeing Canada being a major player on the international grappling circuit. Brazil has had 80 years to develop its scene, America has their wrestling program and attracted BJJ a bit earlier than us, and in Japan it's more ingrained into their culture whereas Canada just has hockey fights. But over the past decade it's been getting ready to be placed on the burner. It's a good time to be a fan because there's like this perfect storm brewing on the horizon where the right pieces are coming together and it's just a matter of time before it hits land. As much as getting a great coach is beneficial to the development of the scene, just as important are having a lot of great sparring and training partners to help push you to develop and I think right now we're starting to see a lot of that in gyms across the region. I'm seeing guys that are white belts and are doing some insane stuff where I'm like "dude, you are not a fucking white belt". And with no-gi and MMA, it's like this whole new thing where the book is being written as we speak, so there's still a chance for catch-up.

Ever since going to OSWI 4, I've been waiting for another Super Card of Single, No Gi, Bouts to come along; as that last OSWI was freakin awesome to watch and hooked me on the So-On grap scene. Tournaments are fun for a while, but they are exhausting to watch and I have yet to get through a full day of em, whereas these Super Cards feature just one match going on and you actually know who is fighting who rather than half-a-dozen matches going on at once, in different weights and experience divisions and whatnot and in different rounds and all the confusion that tournaments bring. In other words, it's a lot more fun. If you live in the GTA, you gotta check it out. Oh yeah, and there's a lil something called BOCEK VS HOLANDA. How often do you get to see two black belts compete in Canada? Last year Holanda beat Rob "Spider" Di Cenzo, a Nova Uniao guy like Bocek, by Kimura after being dominated for the majority of the match. Can Bocek avenge Nova Unioas loss, or will Holanda squeak out another win? So, so-far, the card is shaping up as so... "The Canadian Submission Expo", (via The UG.) Saturday, September 29, 2007. Martingrove Collegiate 50 Winterton Drive. Toronto, Ontario. Doors Open 6 PM This event will take place after the Bravado Open BJJ Tournament simular to last year. a film crew will be in to tape the show and submit to the fightnetwork.

More info to come...................

He fucks someone up with a book.

It's fucking awesome. I think part of it is up on DailyMotion.

Oh it will air. This will be the anti-Sanchez/Koscheck. With Sanch/Kos, it could not have possibly sucked on paper, but in reality it ate a big one. With Nak/Lyoto, the odds of a decision are so great it cannot possibly go to one.

The cage will be less a problem than Machidas circling and counter-attacks to Naks rush-in/swim style of fighting. Though Nakamuras stand up has looked much-improved in his last few fights. I imagine Lyoto will be the favourite in this fight, but Nak is game for pretty much everybody.

Well, one: It's The Nak. And two: Who the fuck are you to assume there needs to be any other reason than that for you to start spreadin D.N.A. for the N.A.K.

Kazuhiro Nakamura vs. LYOTO via UFC.com I need new pants.

I don't like the idea of a prequel either, but having said that, Quinto is a really good cast for Spock.

ALL YOU CAN EAT WINGS?! McGovern, jesus christ what have you done?

If it's just Fedor wanting to fight in Combat Sambo, then White should allow it. I understand not wanting other fighters to fight outside the UFC in MMA, but I don't think anyone will start questioning Fedors status as top in the sport if he loses to Volk Han Jr. in a Sambo match. If it is concerning the possibility of injury, does that mean Dana doesn't want Fedor riding motorcycles or fighting aliens? C'mon. Plus, clearly Fedor and his management are in deep with Russian Mob, so them saying "no" to big money is because their family will get burned if they leave Russia.

Or it could be that he is extremely talented and has awesome fights; that he steamrolled over some really good fighters and is one of the more well-rounded fighters in the game.

Do you not agree with it, or do you not actually see reasons for people to like Rush? I mean, both make you dumbtarded, but at least not agreeing with it only shows bad taste and not overwhelming ignorance like not seeing his body of work as being impressive. GSP beats more people at Welterweight than Serra does, I'd say is the reasoning behind that. As much as I love Randy, I don't think he belongs on this list. Nog and Randy shouldn't be there, Hendo maybe cracks the top ten but he has losses against The Other Nog and Arona at 205 and in the last year against Misaki, as well as debated wins over Busta and Kondo - it's hard to justify ranking him at all, now that I think of it. Hendos before Filhos? No ways.

Those two old guys fishing is, like, my quintessential image of Brits. You know, after Mr. Bean.

WE DIDN'T LISTEN!!

Yeah, we've seen fighters with training programs with similar intensity and not test positive. Also, why didn't Sherk test positive for his title fight vs. Florian if that was the case?

Horodecki vs. Lierley 2007 Fight of the Year Candidate. Legit. http://www.dailymotion.com/udar552007/vide...lierley_sport/1

Morgan Fairchild then appeared and they proceeded to make love next to Dicks unconscious body. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Hayato Mach Sakurai vs. Frank Trigg http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/searc...-vs-frank-trigg

I know Curry, and I know that he was using the short form of the word "Mandarin" when he was talking about Man-Sauce. Koscheck is well known in the MMA community for making some mean stir-fry and one of the secrets is this Mandarin sauce that he uses. Rogan -and this is also well known in the MMA community- is a big stir fry fan and once Rogan was training at ATT and Koscheck made the team some stir-fry and Rogan just ate into it like crazy and didn't even mind the sauce running down his face. So what LOTC really means is that Rogan was conveying his love for Koschecks Man-Sauce (if I were to also use the short-form) when talking about Koscheck as a fighter. I was expecting Rogan to say after beating the "GSP GOT PWNED" horse down to say something to the effect of "...but that could mean we will see a nastier, meaner, tougher, stronger, GSP come back and that would mean problems for Josh Koscheck", but nothing like that ever followed. It was just "GSP got DESTROYED by a MIDGET. He got ABSOLUTELY ANNIHILATED by this guy who wasn't even a top contender. His entire world IMPLODED when he got MAN RAPED by YODA"
