MCC 16 - No Guts, No Glory

9/12/08 - Using his signature triangle choke, TJ “The Spider” O’Brien forced current champ Josh “Jigsaw” Atwell to tapout in first round action at MCC 16 No Guts, No Glory at Bucs Arena last Saturday.  O’Brien pulled off some high level jiu jitsu, transitioning from mount, to arm bar, to triangle, leaving nowhere for Atwell to escape. Congrats to the new MCC Featherweight champion!

Jens Pulver

Jens ‘Lil Evil’ Pulver MMA Fighter Profile

Growing up in Iowa, I’ve been a big fan of Jens ‘Lil Evil’ Pulver from back in the early days of the UFC. Who can forget the John Lewis knockout or how he battled BJ Penn for 5 rounds taking the majority decision? Not me. It was great to see Jens come back to the UFC and take part in the Ultimate Fighter and follow up fight with BJ Penn. Now it’s time to see Jens dominate the 145 lb division in the WEC.

Jens Pulver wins!

Tito Ortiz

“Huntington Beach Bad Boy” Tito Ortiz MMA Fighter Profile

Tito Ortiz, maybe more than any mma fighter, lives up to his nickname both inside and outside the cage. All of his antics, justified or not, draw both ire and support, from hardcore mma fans. You either love Tito, or you loathe him. From his wrestling and nasty ground and pound, to his disputes with former manager and current UFC President Dana White, which included a boxing match that never happened, to his trademark “grave-digger” victory celebration, to his double finger salute to Ken Shamrock and the Lions Den, to his dating porn star Jenna Jamison…Tito Ortiz always has the attention of the mixed martial arts world.
