George St.Pierre Stops BJ Penn In 4
George St.Pierre has retained his Welterweight Title in spectacular fashion by totally dominating BJ Penn from start to finish. George St.Pierre was even able to take BJ Penn down, which is a very hard thing to do, he has one of the best take down defenses in MMA.
George St.Pierre was very quick with his punches, landing some great shots, his jab was superb. Many times in the fight George St.Pierre was able to get half guard, and at many points looked like he was going for a crucifix, the same move that Matt Hughes used on BJ Penn to stop him in their fight. But it wasn't to be, instead George St.Pierre stayed in a high half guard and done a good job of smothering and landing some big punches down on BJ Penn.
George St.Pierre was just better in everyway, stand up and on the ground, he also looked to be in much better shape as BJ Penn looked very tired pretty early in the fight. This was a total domination by George St.Pierre, who looked superb in every area of his fight game, he has come a long way and has evolved his skills to perfection.
BJ Penn's corner (his brother in particular) didn't want to see him take any more punishment, they could see he was not going to win and looked like he had lost the will to change the fight in his favor so they stopped the fight at the end of the fourth round. BJ Penn looked ok with that decision.
So where does BJ Penn go from here? Well he is still a great fighter and im sure he will be back, but for now George St.Pierre rules the roost and is still the welterweight champion.
Congratulations George St.Pierre!

Helio Gracie Dies Age 95
Helio Gracie Dies Age 95 From Natural Causes
Grand Master and father of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Helio Gracie and his older brother Carlos played a major role in developing what we know in 2009 as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Helio Gracie developed his own form of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu because he only weighed around 150 Lbs and was weak in comparison to big strong guys. Helio's creation of his own Jiu-Jitsu was so effective that everyone wanted to learn it. Helio Gracie used leverage and position in such a way that he, and anyone that learnt from him was able to overcome the size and strength advantages of their opponents.
Helio Gracie is a true legend. His development of Jiu-Jitsu, contribution to Martial Arts and Superb example as a person will never be forgotten. This is the man that made Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu known to the world and made it was it is today. Thankyou Helio Gracie.
In one of his final magazine interviews the Grand Master expresses his concern for the future of Jiu-Jitsu:
“The Jiu-Jitsu that I created was designed to give the weak ones a chance to face the heavy and strong. It was so successful that they decided to create a sportive version of it. I would like to make it clear that of course I am in favor of the sportive practice and technical refinement of all athletes, whatever their specialty may be, as well as good nutrition, sexual control, avoidance of addictions and unhealthy habits. The problem lies in the creation of a sport-oriented Jiu-Jitsu, based on rules and time limits, which benefits the heavier, stronger, and more athletic individuals. The primary objective of Jiu-Jitsu is to empower the weak who, for not having the physical attributes, are often intimidated. My Jiu-Jitsu is an art of self-defense in which rules and time limits are unacceptable. These are the reasons for which I can’t support events that reflect an anti Jiu-Jitsu.”

Shane Mosley Knocks Out Antonio Margarito In Round 9
Shane Mosley Knocks Out Antonio Margarito In Round 9
After a quick start from Sugar Shane Mosley i thought he would slow down after a few rounds, then Margarito would start to come on strong, how wrong i was!
Shane Mosley totally dominated the fight from start to finish, with his hand speed and power punches. Antonio Margarito just couldn't get past the speed or power and didn't seem to have the answer to mosley's style.
I cannot beleive that Antonio Margarito, with his granite chin has been knocked out tonight, everyone expected it to be the other way round. I suppose this reminds us all that anything can happen in boxing, and styles make fights.
Shane Mosley looked superb. Margaritos's punches didn't bother Shanes as much as shanes bothered Margarito, who was rocked on several occassions.
Basically Mosley played Margarito at his own game, mostly pressuring him. The pace of the fight got to both fighters, but it definatley got to the 30 year old Margarito more, not the 37year old Mosley! Look who ended up knocked out.
Many people will be shocked by this knockout defeat, that was the last thing anyone expected! I bet there is going to be some skint people tommorrow as well because they all lost their bets!
