Ambition?

Oh, if I had done nothing simply from laziness! Heavens, how I should have respected myself, then. I should have respected myself because I should at least have been capable of being lazy; there would at least have been one quality, as it were, positive in me, in which I could have believed myself. Question: What is he? Answer: A sluggard; how very pleasant it would have been to hear that of oneself! It would mean that I was positively defined, it would mean that there was something to say about me. "Sluggard"—why, it is a calling and vocation, it is a career.

Bloody Revolution: A Journey into UK MMA

by Mick Bower

In less than two decades, what started out as a cable TV special has developed into a worldwide phenomenon. A major new sport that has revolutionised our ideas about fighting. Critics dismiss the sport as `human cockfighting’, supporters hail it as the sport of the future. Whatever your view, the growth of the sport makes it hard to ignore.

Mick Bower takes the reader deep into the chaotic world of UK MMA. In rundown leisure centres and rowdy nightclubs across the land, committed fighters push themselves to the limit in the ultimate athletic challenge. Shunned by the mainstream media, the sport has promoted itself by any means necessary- embracing the internet and reality TV to get the word out. This bizarre marriage of ancient brutality and modern popular culture has struck a nerve- attracting personalities as diverse as Katie Price and Michael Portillo cage side.

The reader will also encounter the lost art of Lancashire Catch Wrestling, the increasing influence of Luta Livre and the British Muay Thai scene.

UK MMA holds a mirror up to the society that spawned it. Dedication, absurdity, skulduggery, bravery, sex and violence: all in one exhilarating package.

Bloody Revolution tells the real stories behind the tabloid headlines.

To prevent the escape of suspected illegal to transport cargo to Brazil, federal police of Ribeirão Preto (314 km from Sao Paulo) threw a car of the corporation against the plane that was used by the group. With the move, the agents of PF – who filmed the moment of approach – managed to prevent the airplane takes off.

The operation ended with the arrest of five suspects – including the pilot of the plane – and seizure of a cargo estimated at $ 200 thousand in notebooks, electronic surveillance equipment and a bicycle.

The products, which were placed in a van, probably came from Paraguay and would be marketed in the region of Ribeirao Preto, according to Federal Police ((Google Translated)

In 1991, Trevor Berbick went to the UWFI in Japan to fight Nobuhiko Takada in a "boxer vs. wrestler" bout.

Berbick had been double-crossed, he had expected the fight to be like American kickboxing, but it turned out that the rules allowed Takada to kick Berbick below the belt. Berbick refused to mount any offense, instead repeatedly complaining to the referee as Takada kicked him repeatedly in the legs. Takada claimed victory by default when Berbick exited the ring.
