Donald Cerrone Defeats Jeremy Stephens by Unanimous Decision - Jeremy Stephens vs. Donald Cerrone at the UFC on Fuel 3. Anyone else smell a knockout? Here's how it all went down. Early on, Stephens landed a low kick, then an uppercut as Cerrone came inside. Another low kick from Stephens landed. Then Cerrone hit home with a low kick of his own. A quick right hand from Stephens found its mark; Cerrone followed it up with a hard low kick. "The Cowboy" is starting out slowly. But then as they neared the three minute mark, Cerrone began changing his rhythm, coming forward with leg and hand strike combinations before dropping out of harm's way again. And from there, he began gaining confidence and hitting home with sharper strikes of the same variety, ending the stanza with a flying knee. Cerrone definitely took round one. The second round saw Cerrone land tons of kicks, hands, and everything. And after a combination that ended with a left uppercut, Stephens was clearly hurt. Though Stephens recovere...

Lyoto Machida vs. Ryan Bader at the UFC on FOX 4 - Karate vs. Wrestling in the Modern Era - Back on November 12, 1993, the purest display of martial arts style vs. martial arts style took place. That's right- we're talking about UFC 1. At the time, competitors pretty much knew their own discipline and no other. Boxing, karate, and, of course, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu were on display. As we all know now, those early UFC's proved the worth of grappling arts like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and wrestling. Meanwhile, they left many with a bad taste i...

Mas Oyama and the Difference With Modern Traditional Martial Arts Practitioners - I once read a book entitled Me, Chi, and Bruce Lee by Brian Preston. It was an entertaining martial arts read about a self-proclaimed "spineless wuss" (Preston) who embarks on a quest to achieve a black belt within one year. Along the way, he travels the world meeting up with martial artists, instructors, and fighters like Sifu Bob, Royce Gracie, Jeff Monson, Jarek Szymanski and more on his path towards martial arts enlightenment. In the book, Preston questioned Szymanski, a man extremely skilled and knowledgeable in the ...

Frank Mir to Fight Junior dos Santos for the UFC Heavyweight Belt - Yes, Alistair Overeem will still plead his case to NSAC regarding his testosterone-to-epitestosterone ratio of 14:1 on Tuesday. But that won't keep him on the UFC 146 fight card, nor will it promise him another shot at current UFC Heavyweight Champion Junior dos Santos. Overeem has now been pulled from the UFC 146 main event in favor of former champion Frank Mir....

Matt Brown Defeats Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson by Unanimous Decision at UFC 145 - Coming into his UFC 145 bout against Matt Brown, everyone simply knew Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson as that new karate fighter in the UFC. Of course, with karate still somewhat stigmatized as less than useful in the sport of mixed martial arts, there was some pressure on Thompson to do well. Wondering how it all went down? You've come to the right place. Early in round one, Thompson landed a sid...

Eddie Alvarez vs. Shinya Aoki Bellator 66 Results - Former Bellator champion Eddie Alvarez has only lost twice since July of 2007. One of those losses came to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu superstar Shinya Aoki at K-1 - Dynamite!! Power of Courage 2008. Simply put, the two entered the ring, and only 92 seconds later they left with Aoki taking home victory by way of heel hook. Enter 2012 and Bellator 66. Alvarez, coming off of a loss to Michael Chandler, really needed a victory badly to reaffirm his top lightweight status. Aoki, on the other hand, could once and for all prove to be a better fighter than his counterpart. Alvarez landed a punch to the body and several grazing shots early in round one.  Alvarez then hit home with two more body punches over time....

Jim Miller - Takedowns and What the Game Plan for Nate Diaz Must Be - Jim Miller has some solid stand up. That said, his upcoming opponent at the UFC on FOX 3, Nate Diaz, has a big time reach advantage over him. Further, Diaz's boxing skills are top notch in the MMA game, and his cardio, as good as Miller's is, is also top level. Adding to Miller's problems is the fact that their bout is a five rounder. In other words, he probably doesn't want to stand with Diaz for that long. Which leads to a game plan likely designed to take the Cesar Gracie fighter to the grou...

Dennis Siver Defeats Diego Nunes by Unanimous Decision - Dennis Siver was once considered one of the better lightweight strikers in the world, with a Tae Kwon Do based arsenal that included excellent spinning back kicks, front leg kicks, and more.  So when he dropped down to featherweight to fight contender Diego Nunes, many thought he'd do quite well.  That said, dropping down in weight doesn't always prove to be as smart a move as it sounds.  Would it be for him? Keep reading for the answer. ...

Malcolm Bull: Climate Change Ethics - For the benefit of anyone who has spent the past decade or so on a different planet, the most frequently asked questions about climate change on this one are as follows. Is it getting warmer? Yes, surface temperatures have risen by 0.8°C from pre-industrial levels. Are humans causing it? Almost certainly. The gases produced by industrialisation and agriculture are known to have an insulating effect, and their concentration in the earth?s atmosphe...

Layla Al-Zubaidi: In Syria - ?Welcome to Assad?s Syria,? the signpost at the Lebanese-Syrian border still says, letting the visitor know who owns the country. The ceasefire had just been announced, but few Syrians I knew held out much hope that three hundred UN observers could keep an eye on the whole army. The journey from Beirut to Damascus by shared taxi takes less than three hours. For years I?ve come this way to visit the Syrian side of my family. It was clear that thin...

Iain Sinclair: Meeting Gary Snyder - Coming through the woods, down a soft winding track, two minutes shy of the time we have been instructed to arrive, 10 a.m. on a bright Sunday morning, we see the man already there in the clearing, his right hand on the dog?s collar. Two minutes later, you feel, and he?d be gone. But this is the right person, undoubtedly, the one we have come to see. In a solid, heavy, hired car, a Chevrolet Impala, we have driven down the coast, on 101, from Sea...

White Chalk on Black Paper - Drawing with white chalk on black paper can look really effective and dramatic. But handled badly, it can also look really 'wrong'! The biggest problem is the temptation to outline in white, where we would normally be using a graphite pencil. The trick is to reverse the way we look at things. With graphite or ink, we draw the darks and shadows, and sometimes don't give the highlights much attention. When drawing with white on black, we need to p...

Better Photographs Make Better Drawings - It's generally better to draw from life than to draw from a photograph, but sometimes having a subject sit for hours isn't possible. Kids are particularly challenging sitters - they just won't sit still for a moment! If you're going to draw from a photograph, you really need it to be a good one. A well-lit picture with a natural subject is so much easier to draw and will give you really great results. It's particularly important when drawing anim...

The movies are based on the Marvel comic books and so don't spend much time in the ancient world - Thor looks like a thoroughly modern hero! Here's a more traditional comic book take on an heroic Viking character for you to draw. Draw a Viking Warrior.Draw a Viking Warrior originally appeared on About...

Leonardo da Vinci Quotes on Drawing - Leonardo da Vinci is a fascinating artist, and while a few enigmatic pieces get a lot of airtime, I often think that the old master has a lot to offer the modern artist beyond these iconic works. I thought I'd take a look at where Leonardo is coming from and what he has to say on a few topics about drawing, perspective and learning to be an artist.

Improving Your Drawing: Middle Values - An error I've noticed in many beginner (and even more experienced) artists' work lately is a gap in the tonal range. Often artists will focus on the outlines, so these will be strong, and they know they need confident darks, so they'll shade quite powerful shadows. But then things go a bit pear-shaped when they start to tackle the rest of the shading. I think in part it's a desire to get the subtleties of tone so not to be too heavy-handed, but t...

Improve Your Drawing - The trouble with being stuck in a rut is that you don't always know it - you keep going over the same old ground and it's not until you're entrenched in a well-worn groove that you discover that you're repeating yourself. If you're lucky, it just means that you never get beyond being 'pretty good' and your work always has that familiar 'look' to it. If you're not, it can mean mediocrity and a slow wearing-away of creativity and enthusiasm. Here a...

Pencil Shading Exercise - Shade an Egg. - Practicing shading with simple objects is a good way to develop skills quickly. Instead of thinking about a composition with many complicated textures, you can pay attention to subtle changes of tone and concentrate on handling the pencil to get the kind of shading you want. It's useful to try these exercises out with different papers and pencils - for example, as well as basic sketchbook paper, try a smooth hot-pressed paper as well as something...

Draw Cartoon Sea Animals - Summer for most of us means the sea - if not in it or on it, at least beside it, getting some vitamin D in the warm sun. For me heading into the cold of an Aussie winter, that's a very appealing idea! Shawn Encarnacion created these cute and friendly sea animals to draw and color in. With simple shapes and easy steps, even young kids will be able to draw these cartoon sea creatures. First up is a cute cartoon seal. These adorable furry friends a...

Practice the Tricky Bits - It's always enjoyable to draw the easy things - it's fun when everything goes well and the drawing flows smoothly. It's only natural to avoid difficult things. But unfortunately, avoiding them isn't going to make them any easier! It's a classic feature of any first-year drawing class (especially once they've done enough to realize which bits are hardest) - lots of focus on the torso but the hands and feet either fade out, or fall off the edge of ...
