These are my views of women in mixed martial arts – they aren’t pretty, but then again neither are most of the female fighters. P.S. Okay, okay – there IS a Pro Women’s basketball league, but the fact that I didn’t even know about it proves my point well enough.

This book is massive! It covers my back story , and how I got in the martial arts, my struggles with health problems, commentaries on religion, racism, MMA, nutrition, injuries, and how martial arts relates to all of these things. If your a fan of martial arts, and you loved Bruce Lee’s books, or your a fan of the “Jeet Kune Do” mentality, I think you will enjoy this publication. Its not a “dry” history book…this book is raw, honest, and personal. Wing chun, xingyiquan, muay thai, MMA, wrestling, tai chi, everyone can benefit from this book!

I would be honored if my martial art brothers and sisters would check out this book.

Moscow hosts biggest MMA event in Eastern Europe
permalinke-mail story to a friendprint version

Published 22 April, 2010

In mixed martial arts, one organization is holding events across the globe to find the world’s best fighters. This month’s event in Moscow saw the pick of Eastern Europe settling scores.

It is called M-1 Global, and this is a world where every fighter has the chance to find fame.

The M-1 selection tournaments aim to pick out the top MMA fighters from all over the globe America, Europe and Asia and sort out the very best of the best.

The most skillful Eastern European martial artists represented in five weight categories went face to face in Moscow in April.

They were watched by the man who had already been there and done that Fedor Emelianenko known as The Last Emperor of mixed martial arts, and today’s best MMA fighter.

Two more VIP guests at ringside were the pride of Russian womens boxing, world champion Natalya Ragozina, and Hollywood action movie star and former European karate champion, Jean-Claude Van Damme.

The 50-year-old Belgian, who is still an idol for many martial arts fans all over the globe, confessed he was more than impressed with what he had seen.

I didn’t have the chance to learn Greco-Roman wrestling or sambo, because at that time it was not existing, especially in Belgium. So I started karate when I was 11 and thats all I knew, which is not bad. And I think I brought a certain style of flexibility and different types of kicking maybe thats why people can appreciate me today. But I love MMA, because it combines techniques, flexibility and power, said Van Damme.

Going back to the mat, all eyes were on the Russian fighters from the Sambo 70 club, who didn’t let their glorious team mate Fedor Emelianenko down.

Dominating every aspect of the fight that’s the way one of Russia’s main hopefuls in the light-heavyweight division, Viktor Nemkov, overcame Shamil Vaysurov the Combat Sambo champion of Moscow in 2008.

Meanwhile, his teammate Vitaly Minakov and Ruslan Kabdulin represented a classic rivalry between a wrestler and a hand-to-hand fighter, where two-time world sambo heavyweight champion Minakov claimed a clear victory.

Meanwhile, the next clash turned out to be one of the toughest competitions in the under 93 kilos division. Russian Vyacheslav “Saint Fist” Vasilevsky opposed Ukraine’s Sergey Guzev.

World combat sambo champion Vasilevsky was expected to dominate the fight, but the Ukrainian proved to be skillful, confident and tough.

As a result, he even looked a bit better during the first two rounds.

Although Saint Fist was keen to prove his nickname in the third and reminded the crowd of one of the most famous Van Damme movies “Bloodsport”.

However, it was a split decision.

My opponent turned out to be much tougher than I expected. I seemed to be slightly losing in the first two rounds. I gave my all in the third and I won it, but I still lacked power to knock him out, Vasilevsky stressed.

The next stage of the Eastern European selection will take place in Kiev, Ukraine next month.
