The Value of Determination

Not fun.

Two relatively unknown fighters, Toby Imada and Jorge Masvidal, squared off back in May at the Bellator Fighting Championships IV. Despite getting his face mashed into putty in the first two rounds, Imada came back in the third with an inverted triangle choke that may very well be the submission of the year. Brutal yet ingenious, it highlights something MMA has taught me again and again over the years – just because someone looks to be losing doesn’t mean they are. And the fight ain’t over until it’s over.

Die Before You’d Hit the Ground

Good Lord.

Dude, I get queasy just looking at these photos of construction workers from some far off part of the world where people are utterly fearless and don’t give a shit about meaningless Western concerns like falling to your horrible death.
