US Goon shocked and appalled to find that world is a dirty, unjust place

There's absolutely no way Tank Abbot hasn't given some slob in a bar a life altering beating for looking at him the wrong way. None.

The unbreakable record for most career MMA fights (320) is now permanently tainted as Travis Fulton is in jail for child pornography and sexual contact with a minor or whatever extremely bad stuff.

Let me offer you a palate cleanser in the way of not-pedo and all around wholesome and nice lady Sylvie von Duuglas-Ittu, a muay thai fighter, who is on a quest to become the person with the most documented pro fights pro fights ever. She lives and trains in Thailand and posts tons of cool technique videos featuring old legends on her youtube channel :)

Yeah, I recapped his first installment of the "Befor there were Rules" trilogy (note, the typo on Before is intentional), "Bar Brawler", which ends with Walter Foxx going to prison for being up a guy in a drive thru. Sadly, I don't think Tank finished the series, so we never got a chance to get his take on being in the Ultimate No-Holds Barred Combat Fighting Champions league, or the time he went to Globe Wrestling or whatever names he would have come up with for UFC and WCW

He was notorious for trying to pick fights with pretty much everyone on the UFC roster backstage so I imagine that was a regular occurrence in his day to day life

A nice addendum is that I saw the bio at a bookstore after that post became famous.

I sat there for 20 minutes confirming, "yes he did not make up or exaggerate any of this poo poo".

I got a copy from a friend back when we were trading terrible MMA biographies back and forth.

If you want anything scanned from it, or if you want me to send it to you, lmk. I recently dug most of my books out of storage so I know where it is.

i read forrest griffen's book a decade ago and i remember it being alright and kinda funny ("alright and kinda funny" is the best review i could hope for as a poster)

im pretty sure that's the only mma book I've read. a buddy loaned it to me. i can't imagine trying to actually read hughes' "mid-american psycho" after reading the exerpts every 4 years or so. just thinking of it makes me root for the train every time

His own description of what turns out to be a complete lack of impulse control makes me one hundred percent certain he was racing that train and hosed up.

In a bit of news that probably everyone heard about on the discord channel most of us are in, Roberto Abreu & everyone running the Fight Sports team are pieces of poo poo. How and why? Here's some quick reading.

Mo Jassim, head ADCC organizer, makes a callout about sexual assault that happened and how Cyborg and his friends tried to cover up one of their blackbelts grooming/assaulting a 16yr old - https://www.instagram.com/p/CSdI2iSjV_N/

Cyborg puts out a statement saying "starting immediately there will be a zero tolerance policy towards sexual misconduct" while also saying the guy, Marcel Goncalves, who assaulted a kid doesn't represent Fight Sports but was also one of their coaches - https://www.instagram.com/p/CSddGlss8N2/

Vagner Rocha put out a statement due to his proximity/involvement with it all - https://www.instagram.com/p/CSehCXRrwn3/

Mo posted another assault that happened to a woman by a blue belt in Brazil at a Fight Sports camp where Cyborg screamed at the victim for calling the police - https://www.instagram.com/p/CSmQuUZL706/

Keith Rummel owned Fight Sports Naples (FL) which is where the assault happened, the coach was put there by Cyborg, and also explains how Cyborg told him he had to pay Marcel $35,000 for "his share of the gym" (Marcel was not at all an owner of the gym nor invested into it) and so Keith refused to do that. So, Cyborg stripped him of his affiliation with Fight Sports, the gym is now Evolve or something like that - https://www.instagram.com/p/CSnaYH0jSOb/

Griffin's book has really good fighter advice like 'Don't look at your opponent's cup' and 'walk normally to your corner' and tons of stories about him and his friends being genuine weirdos. It's going to be the gold standard (such as it is) for MMA autobiographies for a long time since Forrest was one of the very few guys in the sport with self awareness.

Aljo started posting covid/vaccine moron poo poo. Joe Rogan has gone all of the way down the stupid shithead covid rabbit hole and out the other side and up his rear end and fighters are backing him on this poo poo.



I'm starting to think about just not following these sports anymore because of how awful so many of the fighters are, and how none of them ever seem to suffer any consequences of being conspiracy-minded fascist assholes. It's not even fun in the "I can tune in to watch a fascist get punched" way anymore. I don't want to see their faces or hear their opinions or think about them.

That’s good to hear. A long time ago, he was releasing a BJJ instructional DVD box set, and between the time I signed up for a copy and when the payment came due, I’d lost my job and couldn’t afford it anymore. He sent me the DVDs anyway, and sent an encouraging email along with them.
