It's already official: if jardine wins Machida gets the shot

What fight are you talking about? I've never gotten that impression. I mean I've seen him relaxed, which is obviously different. You see guys who are standing still, not moving much, hands down but then they suddenly spring with a quick movement - that's RELAXED, not out of breath. Out of breath is chronically slow and not doing anything even when some stimulus (incoming attack) shows up. For example, Shogun v Coleman lol....

Noooo, I've been away from FnF for a while. Things changed for the worse there, and even though I love Bunkerd and Chris to death, I just can't see myself at that gym anymore

I've been doing the ronin thing recently, still looking for a good place to train. Between money, scheduling, and the quality of gyms, it's hard these days Between all that and my move to and from Hawai'i recently, it's a bit of a mess Although, I do have an idea of a couple of places I might wanna train

P.S. O'ahu had some WICKED good gyms and dojo's! I got to train with everyone from Chris Leben to Bobby Lowe (the first non-Japanese blackbelt holder with Kyokushin Kaikan)!

"Despite the fact Rampage was at one point headed down the road of self-destruction, a win at UFC 96 will put him in the co-main event of UFC 100 on July 11 against current champion Rashad Evans. But before Jackson can secure an opportunity to regain the same title he lost to Forrest Griffin in July, he needs to get past Evans' teammate and good friend, Keith Jardine."

They changed the fight card back to Evans vs Machida.

So I guess Jackson will fight Machida for the title shot

Yupp Jackson Machida...Machida is gonna **** him up too...will be boaring and will go to decision..Machida is too smart. I'd like to see Machida and Anderson go at it..Anderson is ranked number one in the WORLd and there styles are very similar..both are VERY smart and know how to pick and break there apponents..I will probably happend in the future hopefuly...There are rumors that GSP is fighting Anderson next since Anderson cant find a true challenge in his weight class..now that would be fun...

Hey! I was just curious any girls train at these gyms that aren't totally scarey looking. I recently started taking BJJ in SF at a small gym in inner sunset area-but a little nervous about doing a tournament cause there aren't many girls in the sport and no one/few in my weight class. Anyways just curious...

From the people I've interacted with from those camps, I don't recall seeing too many girls. A lot more girls in Muay Thai and full contact karate though, since there's less hugging and rolling around on the floor than in say BJJ or Judo

Which gym do you train at, if you don't mind me asking? I'm on the lookout for a new place to train these days (once I've recovered from a recent little boo boo ). Thanks!
