Product Description

This book gives the reasons why and when for the how-to in martial arts.

Many times in martial arts, as in sports, we are taught techniques and basic moves without ever really knowing why and when they should be performed, so our skills only reach a certain level. Never seeming to go up to a new skill level no matter how hard we train, while many times injuring ourselves.

This book gives the reasons why and when that can help develop… More >>

SEE ALL EPISODES www.vbs.tv Not to sound like too much of a Garfield mug, but do you have any idea how rough dieting is? It’s murder. Or at least it’s murder when you’re also doing more exercise over the course of each day than you’ve done in the entire previous year. I’m right at the cutoff for flyweight, which is the lowest weight class in MMA, but I set a personal goal of 110 pounds to keep me roughly on track with Matt’s cut. I might as well have set it at Nope because that’s exactly how close I made it. The first week of the cut wasn’t bad—all I was really doing was not stuffing my face at every meal. Walking around constantly half-full kind of felt like an accomplishment, like coming home all sweat-caked from the foundry. By the middle of week two the novelty of “counting carbs” and whatever had worn off and I kept accidentally eating things like bagels and full bowls of pasta. From the beginning of the fourth week up until downing that bottle of Pedialyte I was in a state of more or less permanent anger. This mixed with all the testosterone eking out of my long dormant muscles to severely cloud my judgment in terms of fights I should and should not pick. On the flight down to Georgia we had one of those “funny” stewards who try to riff with everybody in the cabin the whole trip—had I been just one seat over from the window, I would probably have spent the night in one of those airport holding tanks. Matt kept trying to get me to sign up for a match of my own just

The UFC was on the verge of its demise with no rules, no audience, no cable access and U.S. Senators calling for its break-up. It was time to step back and re-evaluate the situation. People are interested in the idea of MMA, but not in seeing the type of fight that has 2 fighters fighting in pools of their own blood. The first step was to add protective rules. Weight classes were introduced – heavy weights, middleweights and lightweights. The number of unacceptable striking areas on the body were increased to include the back of the neck, pressure points areas and the back of the head. Protective gloves were mandatory and there were now 5-minute rounds, all of which helped the UFC legitimately begin calling itself a sport, rather than an underground cage fight.

After the organization cleaned up the fights, it was time to start getting officially recognized by fighting associations. The improved image played well with the athletic commissions, as did the petitions for sanctioning made by other clean MMA organizations. It wasn’t until September 30th of 2000 that the International Fighting Championships hosted the first MMA sanctioned event in New Jersey. 2 months later it was the UFC’s turn. Their first sanctioned event also took place in New Jersey under the State Athletic Control Board’s “Unified Rules”. The Ultimate Fighting Championships had lost legal battles and suffered financially, but now it was a legitimate sport.

The time seemed right for new leadership. Two casino executives and a boxing promoter placed and won a bid to buy the UFC for $2 million in 2001. That same year, the organization successfully secured the sanctioning of the Nevada State Athletic Commission and returned to Pay-per-view. Slowly but surely, popularity was growing. It gained a spot on Fox Sports Net, which aired it as the first American mixed martial arts match in 2002.

Today.

Thanks to better promoting, bigger ticket events and the necessary funding, the UFC aired its own reality TV show on Spike TV called The Ultimate Fighter. It was slotted just after a large wrestling event and the UFC show quickly rose to the top for the station. Spike TV then began airing promotional half-hour teaser shows to promote UFC pay-per-view events. All of the widespread attention exploded its popularity. In 2006, the massively hyped event UFC 61 earned near 775,000 pay-per-view buys, the second highest in US history. The UFC, it seems, has officially arrived.

So what’s next for the growing organization? They’re thinking about expanding internationally. First stop: Mexico.
