 It was July 28th, 1931, and a man billed as “Melody Jackson” had just lost his professional boxing debut. Stopped in three rounds by no more than a journeyman in Al Sorvino, it seemed unlikely that an impressive amateur career consisting of 58 wins from 62 fights, would successfully translate to the harsh world of professional boxing. Dropping two of his next three bouts (both by four round decisions), Henry Armstrong could easily have taken this as proof he was not cut out for the professional ranks. But the man who would go on to be known as “Homicide Hank”, possessed just as much pertinacious will in life as he did in the ring. Armstrong would ride out those early losses and go on to become a bona fide boxing legend.

 After solid outings from Strikeforce and the UFC (main event aside) over the past two weekends, this weekend is going to serve to recharge the MMA batteries before the Octagon ships down to Australia for the first time for UFC 110 next weekend. However, in the meantime we're left with quite the void this weekend, and that made it difficult to find a fighter to preview from the upcoming slate of fights. As such, with the trusty bag of tricks always in hand, it's time to take a trip back to the midwest for a classic Hook N Shoot fight from 2000.

 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.
