Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu || Garry Tonon • Master Renzo and The Art of the Choke
In what was an epic night for fans and Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu (family and otherwise) alike, not only did extended RGA fam Garry Tonon pick up another win in MMA, but Master Renzo Gracie, at the ripe young age of 52 years old did the same, both predicated off the use of (I’m admittedly partial) the greatest Brazilian Jiu JItsu on earth.
If I have time I will breakdown some UFC this week as well, but first I want to take a look into how Maser Renzo and The Lion Killer used some spectacular transitions to get their respective finishes in their fights. Cheers.

UFC 227: Dillashaw vs. Garbrandt 2 is an upcomming MMA event by the Ultimate Fighting Championship and will be held on August 4, 2018, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. It is headlined by a UFC bantamweight title rematch between TJ Dillashaw vs Cody “No Love” Garbrandt and co-headlined by another rematch between Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson and Henry Cejudo.
Make sure you leave YOUR UFC 227 predictions in the comments below!
The UFC produced a barnburner of a card last weekend, compensating the Calgary fans for a less than stellar first offering back in 2012. Main evented by the grudge match between Eddie Alvarez and Dustin Poirier, the event featured two former champions getting back in the win column after two tough losses to young up and comers. Both by familiar methods, Joanna Jedrzejczyk cruised to a unanimous decision win over Tecia Torres, followed by Jose Aldo performing an involuntary major procedure on Jeremy Stephens’ liver.
These were mere re-calibrations for former champions, unsure of where they must go next, unlike the headlining clash. Dustin Poirier exorcised his Philadelphian demons and finished Eddie Alvarez in the second round. Logically, this should have a major impact on the trajectory of the lightweight division, but will it? Probably not.
Before UFC 223 in April, I wrote this piece (link) with the understanding that we were about to see the lightweights ducks finally put in a row. Then the Khabib/Tony curse woke up from hibernation and wreaked havoc on fight week. Nurmagomedov ended up fighting Al Iaquinta for the belt, becoming the single most disputed undisputed champion in history. The McGregor/Khabib/Ferguson love triangle remains intact.
On the way to a climax
It’s now late July and resolution eludes us still, but things are looking up. Khabib and Conor are flirting over an October 6th rendezvous, and if that works out Dana wants to get Tony on the undercard, who is currently busy…
…Being Tony I guess. Khabib insists that Tony must come back and beat someone else before he is allowed to share an Octagon with “The Eagle”, and the UFC will likely procrastinate like a fourteen-year-old with his maths homework when it comes to sending out those accursed bout agreements anyway.
So we have a timeline: Khabib fights Conor; Tony has a successful comeback from injury and gets the winner. Simple, only, what about Dustin Poirier? Him and Eddie was supposed to be a critical matchup in the continuity of the division, but it only dumps more mud in the water. There is of course, a spot for “The Diamond” in this cast, and if I may assert my puerile and prosaic opinion, it’s not fair.
Where does Dustin Poirier fit in?
As things stand, there’s no way anyone gets a shot at Khabib’s belt before Conor. The UFC will move heaven and earth to make that fight, and so they should. It’s a big money showdown, with a compelling story that needs an end. Ferguson needs to be reintroduced into the narrative at some point, so he requires a dance partner. Dustin Poirer does not deserve to be that dance partner.
Currently on a three fight finish streak over a former WSOF champion and two former UFC champions; in any other division it would be impossible to deny him title contention. But after a stalled linearity, he broke through right when everything was restarting and will not be afforded the opportunity that, in mine and many others’ opinions, he is owed.
We all want a round robin of McGregor, Khabib and Tony. If you don’t want it, guess what, you do in fact want it. For the sake of that, Ferguson’s successful comeback should be a mere formality, but then where does that leave Poirier? To sit out for a year waiting for the love triangle to break open? That’s not going to happen, and unfortunately, we will surely see him and Tony this year.
A booking conundrum, and not one that I can divine, but man, what a shame. In any other circumstances this fight is dynamite. Right now both men deserve their shot, but only one can get it. Maybe Poirier pulls off what would certainly be the upset and beats Ferguson. If he doesn’t, then that will leave him on the side-lines as collateral damage. This sport is ruthless sometimes.

We alsoonce again see the most dominant champion in the sport, Flyweight kingpin Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson. Who once again faces off against Olympic wrestler and former opponent Henry Cejudo. Can Cejudo do what no other fighter in the division has and beat Champ?
The action takes place August 5th, live from Los Angeles California. Will we see yet another changing of the guard in the lighter weight classes? Tune in to find out!
Buakaw Banchamek || Breakdown • Skill Study • Highlights •
Buakaw Banchamek (สมบัติ บัญชาเมฆ), formerly Por Pramuk, is certainly one of the most popular Muay Thai practitioners on the planet. He made his bones as a former two-time Omnoi Stadium champion, Lumpini Stadium champion, Thai Featherweight champion and became world renowned as the two time K-1 World MAX champion. Buakaw also played professional football as a forward.
Somehow, I have never covered Buakaw, who was very important in my development as a striker, and later as a coach. One of the things we will be covering is the fact that ‘The White Lotus’ fights almost exclusively from orthodox. And although southpaw fighters are more uncommon in the West, over half of the fighters in Thailand are Southpaw. The reason for an abnormally high amount is due to the fact that many trainers teach young fighters this stance regardless of their dominant side.

PS This is how you win a breakdown (due to volume, I have to have “contests” etc.). In my -BJJ in MMA & Chess || Prophylaxis • Breakdown • Study– https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTpSesLNknQ a user by the name of: muxammad mursal warsame 4 won my challenge of breaking down my breakdown using chess terminology and strategy. They requested a Buakaw breakdown w/ voice, so here it goes. Enjoy, much love. Cheers.
This is a narrated breakdown that I had done with my main man David Christian aka The Modern Martial Artist.
Though he had to scrap it, many are asking for voiceovers and I found it randomly here on YouTube (hence the FX) so I’m taking it back for all of you wonderful peeps. Check out DC’s

Demian Maia vs. Gunni Nelson || Prophylaxis: MMA Jiu Jitsu & Chess •
Prophylaxis is a term in chess introduced by the grandmaster Aaron Nimzovich in his book “My System” in the 1920’s.
The term refers to actions taken by a player to anticipate and thwart the opponent’s plans, and moves of these type are often called prophylactic moves. Prophylactic moves prevents the opponent from taking action somewhere on the board. The key is prevention, and in Jiu Jitsu it would best translate into defensive IQ.
It is common for Jiu Jitsu practitioners of all levels to see and reference the arts similarities to the historic game of wits, “chess-like” is the way etc.. Here, with some tongue in cheek chess references I will show a very interesting game of chess between two masters in their prime.
Enjoy all, much love. Cheers.
