Keep an eye out. Next Saturday most likely. The NY Times is doing a piece on Fedor leading up to the Affliction card on the 24th. The piece will cover soviet and post Soviet training in Sambo as well. You will see some of our ASA members interviewed.
Cool!! I’m glad Sambo is getting some publicity.
That is, unless Josh Barnett submits Fedor. A fight that should happen sooner or later. My money is on Barnett.
That is a fight I want to see for sure!
The discussion of Sambo’s advantages over Catch was moved to here:
Why Sambo is the future of MMA, not Catch Wrestling. - No BS Martial Arts
Still curious as to what happened with your offer to post some vids from Barnett’s “Attacking the Guard”, Tom…???

Victor Parlatti you ignorant slut! Can you PM/email Tom? Why are you screwing with Steve’s thread?
Article. I never posted the link…

Josh Barnett is the last legitimate UFC heavyweight champ IMO. Randy never beat him. All the champs after UFC 36 are suspect in my book for that reason. It would be better if he won it from Bas, but he retired with the belt.
I’d like to see Blagoy Ivanov vs Fedor or Barnett in an MMA fight.
