Jake Paul has a brother who boxes, Tommy Fury has a brother who boxes. Which means they should fight, right? According to a lot of boxing fans this match is going down and gonna be a good one. The smack talk has already begun where Jake claims Tommy Fury lacks the qualities of a fighter without "real heart." Fury claims that the youtube fighter will run with his tail between his legs from a real fight. August 29th, Fury will make his U.S debut vs Anthony Taylor and Paul will face off against Tyron Woodley. We can expect both fighters to put on a promising show. Say what you want about Jake Paul, but the guy knows how to stir controversey and sell PPV's. Many boxing fans want to see him face a real contender, not a semi-retired fighter whose focus was never boxing. Fury has big shoes to fill, his brother is the heavyweight champion of the world. The boxing fan world want him to end Jake Pauls winning streak. Tommy is kind of like Jake in the sense that he does television and entertainment. So hopefully we get to see these two go at it.

Alexander The Great has gone down in history as not just the Mediterranean's greatest general tactician of all time, but also the ancient worlds. Undefeated in battle for his entire military career, by the age of 30 he had created the largest empire the world had seen thus far, and he had only been ruling for 10 years since he was 20. Burn your ships! Is a tidbit of wisdom Alexander The Great has left us with. Along his extensive military campaign, his army landed on the shores of Persia. The Persians were probably the Greeks biggest threat and the worlds biggest army at the time. Upon landing on Persian shores, the military leader noticed his army gossiping. There were talks of retreat if they needed reinforcements and so on. So what did Alexander The Great due to subdue cowardice and retreat in the face of a great enemy? He commanded the men burn their ships. There is no retreat, there is only conquer. There will be no path other than victory or death. Burning the ships was a huge morale boost for his army. At that point, they knew there was no going back without total victory. Other famous tacticians in history used this method like Hernan Cortez to conquer Mexico. Burn your ships is a big theme in the world wide best selling book - Think And Grow Rich. The idea that we must shut down all negative thought. That we must only set our eyes on victory. Give no room for retreat or plan B or giving up. It's a huge concept. There's a lot we can learn from Alexander The Great, todays military schools still teach his tactics. The world's best generals thousands of years later still aspire to be like him. He created the worlds largest empire at it's time. Be like Alexander The Great.

What if, and hear me out on this one. What if we could have historical superfights? With the speed technology is moving, it won't be too long before we can clone people like Bruce Lee, Miyamoto Musashi, Alexander The Great, and so on. What if in the future we clone ancient fighters from history to battle it out? Am I the only one who thinks we should use technology for this? I'm sure it's well worth the costs just imagine the fight cards and PPV sales. Bruce Lee versus John L Sullivan, we would get to watch Americas first bareknuckle boxing heavyweight champion fight Hong Kong's own Bruce Lee. It would be like watching the master of ancient chinese martial arts face off against the master of American bare knuckle boxing. Or we could watch Miyamoto Musashi VS Alexander The Great. Jiujitsu VS Wrestling. This would definitely be a fight worth watching. Spartacus VS Leonidas. The matchups are endless. Remember the show deadliest warrior? We could make that a reality. Okay so maybe cloning people to fight for sport isn't ethical. Maybe it's not financially smart. You can't say it wouldn't be cool though. Who would you pick for your biggest historical superfight?

Jiujitsu is a highly competitive grappling sport and a staple for MMA. It's rare you'll find an MMA fighter who doesn't study Jiujitsu. Usually when you do it's somebody who has mastered wrestling or Sambo or some other type of grappling art that gives you a significant amount of grappling experience already. Many people have different opinions on what's the worst and best positions in Jiujitsu. Some people prefer guard while others prefer North-South, which both are very popular as is. I'm no expert and keep in mind much of this is just personal preference, but in my experience the best position is Side Control and the worst is Full Mount. The reason I say full mount is the worst is because all of your weight is centered in one area. Any good Jiujitsu practitioner knows that it's easy to reverse a full mount. Trap an arm, trap an ankle, extend your back and roll over to be on top of their guard. People like to go for the full mount because of it's ground-n-pound capabilities. I avoid it in Jiujitsu because of how easily you can be toppled over and reversed into a less dominant positon. Side control is mine and many others favorite positions to be in per grappling. Side control allows you to displace your weight across the ground while half your body is on top of your opponent. Successfully pinning them to the ground. It opens you up to a broad array of submissions. You can go for Americana, Key-locks, arm triangles, neck cranks, and so much more. Be sure to find which style of grappling suits you and what positions your most comfortable in. Let us know what you think. What is your most and least favorite positions in Jiujitsu or grappling?

Ciryl Gane won the interim heavyweight belt lastnight defeating Derrick Lewis with a 3rd round KO. Dana White suggested that Ciyrl Gane is now the worlds best MMA heavyweight fighter. To which Ciryl responded - is just not the case. Gane significantly out striked Lewis at 98-16. Gane whil being a heavyweight, moved as if he were a featherweight in the bout against Lewis. This was Ganes 10th fight, and added onto his list of wins as a undefeated fighter. When he heard himself being donned the "Worlds Best Heavyweight." by Dana White. Ciryl responded with - "I don't want to say that becasue the champion is still Francis Ngannou, and I must fight all the guys on the roster to be the best. I just started, so I need to prove for a few years. And after that, maybe I'm gonna say "Yeah, I'm the best." - Said Gane. What do you think about Dana proclaiming this? Do you think he's right or does Ciryl really need to stick around and prove himself some more?

Ciryl Gane upset Derrick Lewis lastnight with a 3rd round KO. Derrick Lewis was the crowd favorite and the betting odds favorite against Ciryl. Nobody expected Derrick Lewis to get Ko'd, as a matter of fact everyone expected the opposite. Ciryl Gane is now 10-0, undefeated in the UFC. He is clearly on path to fight Francis Ngannou, the current UFC Heavyweight Champion. Ciryl is 10-0 and surprisingly has barely been fighting in the UFC for 3 years now. To have such a astounding record in such a short amount of time, speaks magnitudes. Everyone expected Derrick Lewis to KO Ciryl Gane and continue his legacy of heavy hitting power. Nobody expected Derrick Lewis to get KO'd. It almost felt like it wasn't real at first. I was even astounded to see this. We all really wanted to hear another funny Derrick Lewis post fight interview. I'm sure the French are happy and maybe Ciryl gives good post fight interviews but, most of us Americans don't speak french so we can only assume what he said was nice things about Derrick, and Ciryl's own training camp.

If you've been following the Olympics, then you know that Gable Stevenson just took Gold for U.S wrestling. People are already coming out of the woodwork to talk about him pursuing a career in combat sports. We all want to see what this guy would do in the UFC or Belator. Do good wrestler translate to good fighters? Often yes. Wrestling is a good testament of athleticism. The romans started wrestling in their Olympics because they found out if someone can control a fight grappling then to the ground, they're usually the one who will win without any rules in a fight. Gable is 21 years old, 6'1", and 260 pounds so we could be guaranteed he'll be competing at heavyweight if he joins the MMA world. There's also talk of him going into pro wrestling like Kurt Angle did after Olympic wrestling. Let's hope Gable chooses the real stuff. Regardless of what this young man chooses to do with his career, we can rest assured there will be fireworks just like he managed to do at the 2021 Tokyo Olympic games.
