    Thanks gonna leave a mark? Yeah, in the canvas!

    must look out my Frank Shamrock highlight reel clip, some brutal "dropping you right on your heid" action there!!

    Good stuff! I've got a good selection of "WWE/F gone wrong" too!

    Ace is not exactly how I saw it - looks like the poor guy broke his neck.

    I wish I could find out who/ where/ when / if he's ok :(

    I wanted to learn some takedowns from the clinch like that, but that scares me!

    Apparently it was from "Rich Clementi's first Whoop Ass Wednesday show in Slidell, LA" - there's a 13.5mb highlight vid, with sicko slo mo, at...

    http://www.badbreed.tv/webvideos/WAW I Highlights-1.wmv

    Doesn't give any indication of the outcome though. Looks like one fo those events where they just throw the local nutters in the ring to see what happens.

    Yowch!,
    I hope that he was okay, nasty twist of the head as he landed.

    With all respect to the victim, should he of been fighting?
    He looked like he didn't have a clue...

    Download the full highlight clip - it's one of those "tough guy" events where they just put lcoal hardcases in there for a scrap - looks like someone sneaked a wrestler in there :eek:

    Yup,
    The First Rule of Fight Club is....

    The Guys Milling with the Gloves and Hdguards are a comedy act.

    Holy shoot...Did you see his eyes roll!! Owww. Man couldnt they have gotten sued or something for that, well actually, probably not if he signed a contract. Still, i feel really sorry for the red short dude.

    What kind of a competition is that? Nobody uses kicks.

    A quality throw from the clinch.

    gives martial arts in general & MMA in particular a bad name :mad:

    hard enough to convince the public that pro MMA is one of the most skilled sports around, without throwing muppets with little training or brains in a ring & saying "on you go then"

    really hope that guy's OK

    Hey thats cool, I dont want MA to be commercialized. Look at what the Olympics did to TKD and Judo.

    I aggree that the arts can lose out to the pound sign in some schools, and it's a shame if they lose their roots due to rule changes to make them look more appealing to the casual watcher. I still standby the fact that the majority of MMA Fighters & fans want rid of the "Blood Sport", "There Are No Rules" and instead want it to be recognised as a very technical, skill full (though sometimes brutal) sport.

    The sooner we get rid of the NHB/WWF image the better.

    Ach! Geiss Mir Todd!

    I hope the guy was OK. Seems like there should be a happy medium between 'too much rules' and 'too many pussies' that hasn't been reached here... owch... *cringe*...
