A new documentary following the career of Renzo Gracie. From what I understand, footage has been collected over the past 10 years! Looks awesome…I’ve always been a big fan of Renzo.
Ulitmate Fighter exile, Jesse Taylor (7-3), beat UFC veteran Drew Fickett (35-7) at Total Combat 32 in El Cajon, California. Taylor manage a 1st round TKO stoppage after gettign the early take down and opening a wicked cut on Fickett’s forehead.

Can’t say there are many fights that jump out at me. The two fight I’m probably looking most forward to are the Marquardt vs Kampmann fight and the Karo vs Yoshida fight. The fight I couldn’t care less about is the Liddell vs Evans fight. Two counter punchers, should be a real barn burner!!
Can’t say I’m overly fond of either fighter…but. I think really think Lensar is going to over-power Herring and get the early TKO stoppage.
Where in the hell has he been? Apparently on a four year retirement… He will be returning to take on Johnathan Ivey Sept. 15 at Xtreme Fighting Championships, based out of Florida.
Can’t imagine Ivey’s 5′9″ build is going to match up very well with the the 6′10″ Gan McGee. Good luck Jonathan, you’re going to need it.
