If anyone knows of a pub that shows the PPV's in Sydney, can you please post. I rang around loads of places before UFC 70 to no avail.

Hey Guys,

I'm keen on getting into MMA as I've got a good Standup and grappling background. How does one actually get into the sport of MMA in Australia?

Any info/links would be great!

Do you want to start training for MMA or start to fight straight away?

If you want to fight straight away try the XFC.
http://www.xfc.com.au/


What sort of training have you had/do?

XFC is not holding shows currently so he wont get a fight there straight away.

I suggest amateur MMA comps and/or grappling comps. Lots of training and then possibly an undercard fight on like Spartan, King Of The Mountain or Warriors Realm.

Done a few interviews in the lead up to the Warriors Realm fights this weekend:

Lenny Kent: http://zine.infinitemma.com/index.ph...iew---may-2007
Hector Lombard: http://zine.infinitemma.com/index.ph...iew---may-2007
Daniel Lima: http://zine.infinitemma.com/index.ph...iew---may-2007

Also a interview with Neil Swailes who is fighting Ross Macleod in Melbourne this weekend:

Dan Higgins from Integrated Martial Arts in Brisbane is set to compete on the undercard of Baroni vs. Shamrock in June. His opponant will be UFC veteran Eugene Jackson. Dan Higgins is very capable of winning the fight.

Big Jim Yorke had another great win in Japan against Iro Seki in round 1. In his 3 fights in Japan Jim has won them all in under 2 minutes and now has a record of 9-1 with his one loss coming in his first fight. Jim has also secured a sponsorship with Inspirit.

George Sotiropolous also won on the SpiritMC card which i believe happened in South Korea? Havnt been able to get much more info on that.

All you QLD'ers make sure to support the local scene and get along to Warriors Realm scheduled for 12th of May on the Gold Coast. It will feature some of Australia's best taking on fighters from Japan

Announced so far are:
Hector Lombard vs. Yusaku Tsukkumo
Jacob Sidic vs. Tomohiko Hori
Adrian Pang vs. Katsuya Toida
Daniel Lima vs. Ayumu Shioda
Matt Cain vs. Brad Thompson
Stuart Ashby vs. Takao Kitahara

and of course remember to check www.infinitemma.com for the latest news and updates.
WAR Toikatsu and Shioda!

Great interviews.

It would be interesting to go to Daniel Lima's BJJ club.
