Rampage Jackson Vs Wanderlei Silva 3, Why Rampage Will Lose Again (Popularity:  )
Rampage Jackson is an infighter and always will be.
If you watch his knockout of Chuck Liddell it was from close range (punching range and closer). If you look at their first fight (Chuck and Rampage’s) you’ll see Rampage dominate Chuck by smothering him with this inside fighting ability. This is why he’ll lose (again) to Wanderlei Silva.
Wanderlei Silva has a Thai clinch that is deadly. From inside (where the fight ...

In a sub chain, if you don't catch one, ...

Disappearing is Harder Than You Think (Popularity: )
Now the title of this post will no doubt create much controversy, but what i am talking about is the ability to remain undetected whilst in the heat of battle or training.

Today in the martial arts, there seems to be two extremes. On one end you have the commercialized martial arts that caters mostly to children and has absolutely nothing to do with real self defense.
