http://www.articlesnatch.com/rss2/ufc+news ufc news Articles from ArticleSnatch.com Rss Follow Up Fri, 17 Feb 2012 06:54:41 -0500 The Gi (uniform) vs No Gi debate regarding self defense is ridiculous. Yet some people seem to think that training without a gi is some how more realistic than training in a uniform. Here's a news flash, training without a gi is not more realistic, its just easier. The reason why they don't wear gi's in MMA is because the uniform adds a whole new level of techniques that take years to master. A uniform opens the door to a multitude of submissions and take downs, that number well into the thousands. On the other hand In a no gi vs gi fight, the clear advantage goes to the man without the gi since the uniform provides handles and levers that enable you to manipulate your opponent a lot easier. It's like going into a fight with a noose dangling from your neck. It was only a mater of time since the fighters in the UFC ditched the uniform, it just made sense. On a personal note, I always thought Royce Gracie had brass balls going into the ring wearing a uniform against no gi opponents. The notion that no gi is more real is ludicrous.martial arts]]> self defense]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Fighting-Naked/3406593 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 00:54:04 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Fighting-Naked/3406593 Martial arts]]> Sports]]> Mixed martial art]]> Health]]> Brazilian]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Self-Defense-In-Fort-Worth-Texas/3235026 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 20:07:30 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Self-Defense-In-Fort-Worth-Texas/3235026 Roku review]]> Roku 2 review]]> roku player review]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Roku-Review--Say-Goodbye-To-Cable/2844831 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 22:15:36 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Roku-Review--Say-Goodbye-To-Cable/2844831 watch amir khan vs zab judah live]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Watch-Amir-Khan-Vs-Zab-Judah-Live-Free-Fox-Stream-Online-Freedocast-On-Radio-Optical-News/2724512 Fri, 22 Jul 2011 13:15:13 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Watch-Amir-Khan-Vs-Zab-Judah-Live-Free-Fox-Stream-Online-Freedocast-On-Radio-Optical-News/2724512 According to Beijing Gome, Suning, Dazhong three big kitchen model buy not too long ago, the data current who three-day escape dealing of home appliances for you to quite same span yr after, more than double the amount ratio on accelerate.

Damn good. I'd tap now if I was another MMA fighters app. The app is called, Fedor, is now available for sale on iTunes. ( http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fedor/id406344739?mt=8 ) If you are not a fan of the UFC or MMA, you won't need this app. If you are a Fedor fan like me, this is a must. If your friends are Fedor haters, sending out his image is cool just to drive them nuts. The official app give fans around the world a look into the public life of an international sports icon. Users of the app have access to Fedor's Twitter feed and the latest news from M-1 Global. According to the trusty rumor mill, Emelianenko will return this July to headline Strikeforce's first pay-per-view broadcast opposite Dan Henderson. The MMA icons are expected to meet in a heavyweight scrap, despite the 205-pound belt wrapped around Hendo's waist. You can use your iPhone to watch Fedor return to victory.

For the fighters themselves, there is plenty of Hitman Fight Gear to rave about, and plenty of good reasons to choose their products over others. Men's clothing includes short and long sleeve shirts, fight shorts, slim fit t-shirts, jackets, jerseys, and hoodies. More than other brands that supply MMA apparel, Hitman fightgear is more of a complete line of casual and fight clothes. Their A.B. (Assault and Battery) Jacket, for example, is a warm and comfortable jacket with fine details like an embroidered logo and company name on front and back and an insulated interior lining that keeps the wind off your back.hitman fight gear]]> hitman clothing]]> mma apparel]]> hitman fightgear]]> cheap mma gear]]> fight shorts]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Hitman-Fight-Gear---One-Of-Mixed-Martial-Arts-Top-Apparel-Contenders/2162547 Sun, 06 Mar 2011 13:29:16 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Hitman-Fight-Gear---One-Of-Mixed-Martial-Arts-Top-Apparel-Contenders/2162547 It wasn't long ago that MMA headwear was little more than a cloth hat with a static design on the front. Today, that outdated design has given way to some truly creative fighter hats that are showing up both in the ring and out on the street. Fans of mixed martial arts are also wearing MMA hats when they go out on the town. Most of the major brands now include headwear as part of their clothing line, adding to the personality and sense of fashion to those who wear them. There are also many different styles to choose from, including fitted hats, adjustable hats, flatbills, and beanies. TapouT is an industry leader when it comes to fitted fighter hats, offering sleek-looking models like the Black Full Caged, the Arrogant, the All American, the Big Time, and the Bando. Their style is consistent throughout, with their MMA headwear often including an embroidered logo across the front or side panels. Jaco is another brand that stands out in supplying quality MMA hats for scores of fighters and fans.

It involves ground fighting and grappling, and the techniques and maneuvers involved with defeating opponents are interesting to watch. The kimono used in competition is called a Jiu Jitsu Gi (pronounced "gee," as in guarantee), and it is an essential part of a fighter's wardrobe. There is a long-standing tradition and discipline concerning BJJ, which originated in Japan, but the MMA sporting event seen today evolved more from the rules of Kodokan judo. This is a sport where size doesn't matter, as a smaller fighter can overpower a bigger opponent by using strategy, quick reflexes, and precision maneuvers that take away a fighter's ability to break free of chokes, joint locks, and various grappling positions. Jiu Jitsu pro gear is a must-have for every competitor that participates in the sport, and in some cases, the gi can even be used as a weapon, by either opponent. Therefore, selecting quality Jiu Jitsu gis takes time and patience.jitsu pro gear]]> jiu jitsu gi]]> jiu jitsu gis]]> jiu jitsu fighters]]> cheap mma gear]]> mma jiu jitsu gear]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Why-Jiu-Jitsu-Gis-Are-Important-When-Training/2135048 Fri, 25 Feb 2011 21:35:53 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Why-Jiu-Jitsu-Gis-Are-Important-When-Training/2135048 With the big and steady increase in the popularity of Mixed Martial Arts around the world which is lead mostly by the originators for the sport the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship), it has created an opportunity and demand for new clothing brands and companies. Today pretty much every brand of MMA clothes and fight wear as well as MMA training gear can be bought on and offline by mixed martial arts enthusiasts. These diverse new brands of clothing offer products that range from MMA training and boxing gear to your everyday street clothes and gym attire. These new brands of MMA clothing can be seen all over the entire country. From all of the major cities to the tiniest little country town, you can see people wearing brands and designs like Tapout, Affliction, Hayabusa and many many more that were inspired by the UFC and the sport of MMA. This new phenomenon that we call MMA ( Mixed Martial Arts ) has taken over the entire sports industry and dominated television and pay-per-view ratings which has produced many new MMA clothing and Fight Wear brands.mma clothes]]> fight wear]]> fight wear brands]]> mma gear]]> mma clothing]]> mixed martial arts clothing]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Mma-Clothing-Is-Becoming-Big-Business-As-The-Sport-Of-Mixed-Martial-Arts-Grows/2095284 Tue, 15 Feb 2011 19:09:48 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Mma-Clothing-Is-Becoming-Big-Business-As-The-Sport-Of-Mixed-Martial-Arts-Grows/2095284 The UFC continues to progress every year and 2010 was no exception. A new champion in three weight classes, the announcement of the WEC merging into the UFC, and the biggest free agent signing of the year with Jake Shields. However, we all know Dana White isn't done with progressing the organization. With the merger, the UFC is adding three new weight class divisions starting in 2011. These weight classes contain some of the best lighter weight fighters in the world including Dominick Cruz, Jose Aldo, Anthony Pettis, Ben Henderson, and Urijah Faber, who all held a WEC belt at one time or another. Lighter weight fighters tend to be more exciting and bringing more excitement to the UFC is something Dana is not against. "It's fun, it's going to be crazy, but that's what makes for such great fights. It's a fun division, I'm actually really excited about it," said Dana White on the lightweight division merger, "There's a lot of guys coming up that are really talented. I think the pool's just going to keep getting bigger, bigger, and bigger. It's a dog eat dog world. There's so many good guys out there.ufc]]> mma]]> mixed martial arts]]> ultimate fighting]]> lighter weight fighters]]> jake shields]]> weight classes]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Breakdown-Of-What-s-To-Come-For-The-Ufc-In-2011/2065876 Mon, 07 Feb 2011 03:29:03 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Breakdown-Of-What-s-To-Come-For-The-Ufc-In-2011/2065876 ]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Groundhog-Day-Extravaganza-On-Dish-Network/2046134 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 10:25:36 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Groundhog-Day-Extravaganza-On-Dish-Network/2046134 http://mdathletic.com upcoming fight cards cards UFC Fight Night 23 2011-01-22 Fightcard Evan Dunhamvs. Melvin Guillard Matt Mitrionevs. Tim Hague Pat Barryvs. Joey Beltran Yves Edwardsvs. Cody McKenzie Cole Millervs. Matt Wiman Mark Hominickvs. George Roop Damarques Johnsonvs. Mike Guymon Waylon Lowevs. Willamy Freire Amilcar Alvesvs. Charlie Brenneman Mike Thomas Brownvs. Rani Yahya Will Campuzanovs. Chris Cariaso Titan Fighting Championships 16 2011-01-28 Fightcard Tim Sylviavs. Abe Wagner Drew McFedriesvs. Gary Tapasua Jason Highvs. Rudy Bears L.C.

The sordid news, however, is that if you have to use your martial skill outside the training hall, fighting dirty may save your life. That said, here's a few nasty, little things I've learned over the years that will help you walk away, and make him cry. It's not really much of a dirty tactic in these times, at least not as much as when I was in high school, but a good, swift kick to the peaches can win a back alley brawl quicker than fast. It doesn't require a lot of martial arts training to do this, and it will distract the thug, and maybe even end the fight. When he rushes towards you do a front kick, or simply bring the leg up and let him run into your foot, and the fight is completed. One important item you should understand, dirty fight or not, is to not take your eyes off his.learn lartial arts]]> learn dirty tricks]]> martial arts lessons]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Three-Martial-Arts-Dirty-Tricks-You-Can-Win-A-Life-And-Death-Street-Fight-With/1641710 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 14:59:34 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Three-Martial-Arts-Dirty-Tricks-You-Can-Win-A-Life-And-Death-Street-Fight-With/1641710 MMA is a comparitive newcomer to the world of competitive sports. The upshot of this is that the sport isn't mature enough for all the match ups to be really competitive.Certainly, the early days of MMA - and Ultimate Fighting Championship in particular - had many way mismatched contests. In fact - if you saw Cristiane 'Cyborg' Santos take apart Janet Finney at Strikeforce San Jose, you wouldn't think that things had never changed.But, MMA does spring surprises. Shock results do happen. So for your entertainment, here are my five most shocking results in Mixed Martial Arts.5: Chuck Liddell v Ben Franklin At UFC 115Everyone expected that Chuck Liddell would have no trouble beating Rich Franklin, despite the fact that Liddell's abilities were beginning to fail. That's why, when Liddell broke Franklin's arm with a kick, those who had backed the favorite were smiling. They weren't smiling a minute later, however, when Franklin knocked Liddell out with a punch.4: Georges St-Pierre against Matt Serra, UFC 69At welterweight, Georges St-Pierre is certainly one of the top fighters ever. And the man they call GSP was surely expected to hammer 11-1 longshot Matt Serra. He didn't.ufc]]> mma]]> mixed martial arts]]> sports]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Top-Five-Shocks-In-Mma/1514693 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Top-Five-Shocks-In-Mma/1514693 As you go about your day, you visit sometimes a number of locations. There's the food shopping, or stopping for a bite to eat. There is the drive to and from work and the walk from the car to the office. Some people go to school and walk the halls of the campus. Clearly, the variety of crime to happen abound. Due to this, it is essential to understand some tips on how to stay safe in public places.Some people engage in martial arts training to give themselves some confidence if they ever experienced danger, there is a fighting chance. It is a great idea. Martial arts training does more than teach you moves that you might be able to utilize as self-defense; the training also improves your physical and mental health.A different way to learn to defend yourself is to practice moves demonstrated over a self defense DVD. For people who lead very busy lives, the option of a self defense DVD is the only method they will be able to make any strides towards personal safety. This really is alright; provided that you're learning and practicing. No self defense method is complete without practice and repetition.ufc]]> mma]]> mixed martial arts]]> martial arts]]> sports]]> sport]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Three-Ways-To-Stay-Safe-In-Public-Places/1511351 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Three-Ways-To-Stay-Safe-In-Public-Places/1511351 MusclePharm Corporation (OTCBB:MSLP), has announced it will retain ICR, Inc., as its investor relations consulting partner.
