I train at the Submission Arts Wrestling school in Brisbane. Our teacher Toshi is just an awesome guy, excellent trainer.

Do any newsagents here in Australia stock MMA magazines?

I have never been able to find one. Do you guys have any luck?

What makes the Gold Coast a better place to train than Brisbane?

I went to XFC but unfortunately missed the Bittencort vs. Gillinder fight because it was after a break and i was still trying to finish my dinner. I did see their first fight a month earlier and Bittencort looked good. Event was not bad overall.

Justin Murray vs. Brandon Bell was a a great fight!

Aussmmafan, great news!!! Is this what they told you?

Also write to Fox Sports and let them know what a brilliant job they are doing with The Ultimate Fighter. If you havnt contacted them, then make up a story that you never heard of UFC before this and love this show.

Make sure all your friends are watching it!!

Hopefully they are now talking to UFC because the ratings for the reality show are good. They can only get better as well.

As for Carnage in MMA i can tell you that he would be great with some training, i train at the same dojo as him (five rings) and we've also got some great grappling coaches if he was inclined, but i think at the moment there more money/exposure in kickboxing, plus he's so good at it so no point working his way up from the bottom in MMA when he's a KB world champ. Maybe in the future though, when paydays and exposure in oz get a bit bigger.
anyone see marcio at th eXFC in brissy? i missed it but heard he got a sweet GNP TKO. too bad he's going back to brasil soon, hes great to train with and a great guy.

wherever I can go, I'll go. I'm looking at finding something, ANYWHERE, or some test I can do to get an OP so I can go to a QLD University as a Highschool dropout? anyone got any ideas? seriously.

Hey Fozzy, you could try TAFE for a year studying a course like Diploma of Business. After that it will make it much easier to get into Uni. My OP was crap, and thats what i did but i decided to go and finish my whole diploma before i started uni.

kickboxing is on fox sports 3 at the moment
