Just arrived in Vancouver, Canada.

It’s 4h am, I’m sleepy but, the impression I have is that I made a trip to inside the GRACIE Magazine’s world.

After all, wherever I look, I read a bilingual

Oldie but goldie

Below is the link to watch the first bout between Jorge Macaco Patino and José Pelé Landi, which happened exactly a decade ago, long, long before the big shows in São Paulo such as Showfight, Super Challenge, Fury FC.

Wow

As I have already stated, Georges St. Pierre is a very nice fellow. It was awesome that he just became the new UFC champion, and against none other than the UFC’s biggest champion ever. Though it is obvious that by his talent and perseverance St Pierre has all it takes to be one of the best fighters in the world, it kind of makes one sad to see the – if not as friendly, just as ethical and respectful – Matt Hughes lose at this point of his career, where he apparently plans to retire and spend more time with his family, which recently got bigger. Was Hughes overconfident in thinking he would run over St Pierre and Anderson Silva to become a double champion? Well, I won’t dare answer that. I just hope he doesn’t give up quite now, so that we can all witness some more of his undeniable talent.

A piece of advice

Never lay down to rest a while after watching some six hours of Pride Bushido. It is very likely you will fall into a deep sleep and wake up five hours later – which is late enough to make you miss all the important things that happened. So, have a cup load of coffee and hang on.
