Denis Wins in Pride
I am very happy to announce that my once-training-partner Denis Kang has advanced further in the Pride Survival Middleweight tournament! To move to the semi-finals he decisively took out Amar Suloev, no mean feat given that Suloev had dispatched veteran BJJ fighter Murilo Bustamante in the first round of the tournament. You can see the fight on YouTube.com.
Once again, my BJJ coach Marcus Soares was in Denis' corner. After I saw the unorthodox one-armed rear naked choke that finished the fight I teased Marcus about showing Denis "secret techniques" that he wasn't sharing with the rest of us. Marcus laughed and said "it's no secret; first you break the guy's nose and make him bleed a lot, then you can do that choke".
