Ever wanted to know the history of Fedor Emelianenko’s art of choice, Sambo? A buddy of mine has been a practitioner of Sambo for over 15 years. The interview was conducted in August of 2009. Enjoy.

It was just a matter of time before Ryan Couture, son of Randy Couture, followed in his father’s footsteps and joined the ranks of those athletes willing to put life and limb on the line inside a cage. Ryan Couture has signed a multi-fight deal with Strikeforce and will make his MMA pro debut on August 13th at Strikeforce Challengers 10 in Phoenix.
The 27-year-old Couture, a member of the Las Vegas, Nev., based Xtreme Couture fight team, will face Lucas Stark of Chandler, Ariz.

From obscurity to the big stage, Jose Vega gets shot at stardom
Until Bellator 22, no one outside of Missouri knew who Jose Vega was. This past June at Bellator 22, Vega took the MMA world by storm knocking out Jarrod Card in the first round. The bout between Vega and Card was a televised ‘Local Feature Fight’ and Vega took full advantage of the opportunity.
Because of his eye popping victory, Vega has been rewarded with a spot in the Bantamweight tournament which will take place in Bellator’s upcoming season 3 tournament series. Vega will join the likes of Ulysses Gomez, Nik Mamalis and Travis “The Hurricane” Reddinger.

Shark Fights 13 is now official. The promotion just released a full card. Both main card and prelim fights were released. But you will see that the main card is not yet complete. Paul Daley is still looking for an opponent and Shark Fights says that they will announce another high profile bout in the coming days.
Here is the fight line up as it is now:

This week, Shambala Sports Radio willl get crazy with The Lone Star State’s Finest, as Mixed Martial Arts mainstay Heath “The Texas Horse” Herring joins Jay Pagliaro and Tom Volkert as program co-host.
Herring is no stranger to the program, having joined Scott Asnault and Pagliaro in the past as a guest. This time however, he hops right in the catbird’s seat as co-host to give his views and opinions on the madness in the world of Mixed Martial Arts.

Even before the war of words started a week or so ago on the Joe Rogan podcast where Jason Mayhem Miller was a guest, there was talk in the world of Strikeforce that a grudge match would be put together between Miller and Nick Diaz.
With the war of words in full swing, a bout between Miller and Diaz would seem very likely and very marketable. Although, having these 2 on a dais together to do a face off for a pre-fight press conference might need some serious amount of security to make sure that the fight doesn’t start early.

Shark Fights 13 set for September 11th is quickly becoming an event to watch. First, the main event between Trevor Prangley and Keith Jardine was announced. Second, a bout between Rameau Thierry and Houston Alexander is named as co-main event. Now, Paul Daley has signed on to fight in Amarillo, TX. Daley’s opponent has yet to be named, but I have a feeling his opponent will be able to hang with all that have been named so far.
As you may know, Paul Daley (24-9-2) recently competed and won in Australia at Impact FC 2 by submitting Daniel Acacio. Daley was riding a 4 fight win streak before running into Josh Koscheck at UFC 113 and then throwing the punch that sent Daley out of the UFC. Just a reminder, Paul Daley throw a punch after the end of his bout with Josh Koscheck.
Also recently added to the Shark Fights 13 line up is a middleweight bout between Joey Villasenor and and Drew McFedries. Like I said at the top of the article…Shark Fights 13 on September 11th is quickly becoming an event to watch.
While all of these fighters have tasted the big stage and have fallen off in their own way, look for this event to be a platform that might bring some of these fighters back to the big shows whether it be the UFC or Strikeforce….or maybe even DREAM.
