Filipino MMA Fighters on UFC

Just a simple nod and showcasing filipino's who are representing their filipino heritage and pride in their own fields. First off, UFC. One of the top if not the best MMA fight stage in the world. Filipino's have a little space there thanks to Brandon "the Truth" Vera, Mark "the filipino wrecking machine" Munoz and Phillip "the filipino assasin" Nover. Munoz and Nover are fairly new to UFC (correct me if im wrong) but not as fighters. Nover was a lightweight finalist on the reality show, The Ultimate Fighter season 8 by UFC. All of them are proud of their filipino heritage and i believe all of them speaks tagalog and other filipino dialects.

No one is more prouder to show his filipino heritage of the three than Brandon. He wears it proudly on his skin through his alibata/baybayin tattoos on his back and leg. Most of the clothes he wears on his fights has a Philippine flag or symbol in it showing his a filipino. I saw the fight were he entered the octagon while the Black Eyed Peas song "Bebot" is played as his entrance song. You can feel how proud he is to represent specially when the part of the song plays, " filipino, filipino, filipino..."

Disney's effect on Marvel?

I just saw this video and pics of the new show that Marvel will be premiering on Cartoon Network on September 19. I guess they're gearing towards the more younger audiences along the line of shows like Ben10, Powerpuff girls and the like.. Marvel characters "cutified" :P hehe.. From what i read there are mixed feelings regarding this new path on i guess, introducing Marvel characters to the younger audience.

Power Ranger to MMA Fighter

Do you still remember watching Power Rangers back in highschool? Well, Mr. Green Ranger (Jason David Frank) is now fighting on the MMA stage and brawling it out with some of the best and upcoming fighters in the mixed martials arts world. Just look at the pic below..



















Damn! From a flimsy ranger who knows martial arts to this?! Freaky. Cant wait to see him fight in the cage and maybe slug it out with the likes of George St. Pierre, or maybe Machida, Kimbo Slice or even our very own Brandon Vera. Its time to test out his own fighting style Tose Kune Do inside the octagon.
