 In the second edition of the FLD Grappling Spotlight, we are going to take a closer look at arguably the best grappler on the planet at the moment, Braulio Estima. Born in Recife, Brazil, Braulio’s first experience with martial arts came as a youth through judo, which he was inspired to study by the gold medal winning Brazilian Olympic team. Eventually his interest extended to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu which became his true passion as an athlete and martial artist.

 After a relatively slow start to the year - NYE cards and UFC 108 aside - the MMA slate is finally starting to pick up a little bit as we close out January. Most attention this weekend will be focused on Strikeforce doing this, and rightfully so as they've put together a card which features matchups which will be entertaining, relevant and just plain intriguing (re: freakshowy). However, Strikeforce: Miami isn't the only solid card this weekend, and as usual at the Bodega, we're going to feature a fighter who doesn't get the shine he deserves. To do so, we're heading much further East than Miami, all the way to Okinawa, Japan.

 Recently, on the FLD forums, I happened across a thread started by a new member, Gregory Bayne. In it, he explained how he was making a documentary that is still in need of funding, following former UFC lightweight champion Jens Pulver prior to his upcoming bout at WEC 47, with a chance to delve into his personal life and thoughts on his beginnings. His future fight with Javier Vazquez may well be his last, and it is fair to say that Jens’ career has fallen upon increasingly hard times of late, as he has lost his last four outings and been stopped in his last three. It is easy to dismiss his urge to further compete as ‘foolhardy’, or to stereotype him as just another fighter refusing to let go and acknowledge that his time has passed. Watching the short introduction clip to the documentary, however, makes such dismissals quickly pass.
