Here on Brad's Friday Fight Bodega (catchy name, no?) my goal is to bring some of the lesser known and seen fights to the forefront. I'll feature at least one fight a week, and I shall certainly try to make it a good one. You will see no UFC, no Affliction and no Strikeforce in the Bodega. I may feature the occasional DREAM or Sengoku fight, but I hope to keep those to a minimum as well (although certain fights, like the recent Hideo Tokoro-Abel Cullum fight deserve to be seen by all).
Here's a couple week old fight for your perusal from Shooto's "Shooto Tradition Final" card which took place on May 10th between Willamy Chiquerim and Yusuke Endo.
Yesterday I got the chance to speak with British welterweight sensation Paul "Semtex" Daley—arguably one of the best strikers in Mixed Martial Arts today. Here's what he had to say about his progression as a fighter, training with Melvin Manhoef, and his future in this ever-growing sport.
UFC 98 is in the books and so is one of the surprise upsets of the year with Frankie Edgar receiving the nod from judges in his dominating performance over the UFC's former lightweight king Sean Sherk.
