Ok, for the record, this was not a planned feature for the site or anything we told Pat to do. As a matter of fact nobody would have ever seen any of these unless you browsed through his photo’s on Facebook.

Apparently Pat has been doing this for quite some time now and you never know where he will pop up. If he is in your town beware… you may get served.

What can we say about Bart? If you don’t know Bart Palaszewski, your impression of him might be that he is a rough, tatted up, red headed wild man. If you google him you will see fight after fight and war after war… a guy like this has got to be a jerk right?

The truth is Bart is a promoter’s best kept secret. He is one of the nicest, funniest characters in the sport and will step up and fight anyone at a moment’s notice.

Bart has been fighting since the age of 18 and now at the ripe old age of 26 he is considered a veteran and an underdog rather than a young, improving contender in the sport. Bart knows all about being the underdog and even being bullied. After all, he got involved in training after getting beat up in school by a kid who trained in Mixed Martial Arts. Ironically, Bart was bullied by a student that trained with Jeff Curran at the time so he decided to go to the source and seek training himself. For Bart to show up at the the bully’s school definitely took some brass. Bart showed great potential and Curran took him under his wing. Outside of Curran, it wasn’t long before Bart became the top fighter in the gym. As for the student that that bullied him, well he mysteriously stopped showing up for classes.

Bart’s successes lead him to a shot in the now defunct IFL where he made a name for himself by being involved in some of the promotion’s most historic wars and cementing his name as a KO artist. However, few people know that he is a very talented BJJ brown belt which often goes unnoticed because of his KO ratio.

After the IFL Palaszewski exploded into the WEC with a KO over Alex Karalexis but then took back to back losses to last minute replacements Ricardo Lamas and Anthony Nyojukwani. With his WEC career on the line Bart was asked to fight the undefeated phenom, Anthony Pettis. “It was a big risk taking that fight with Pettis because I really wasn’t able to put in a proper camp due to an injury that only allowed me to jog and hit pads 3 days a week” said Palaszewski, “but I don’t like to complain about injuries because we all have them all the time”.

On March 6th Palaszewski will face Karen Darabedyan and there have been rumblings that a win over Bart puts Darabedyan in the hunt for a title fight. This frustrates coach and friend Jeff Curran, “Anyone that thinks Bart has peaked or has reached his potential is out of their mind. He isn’t a Gatekeeper of the LW division, he is a top contender and deserves respect.”

It has been a long run for WEC Contender Jeff “Big Frog” Curran, facing easily the toughest 5 fight stretch in the history of MMA for any fighter. Curran is coming off what most in the sport consider one of the worse judging moments in 2009, falling to a split decision to contender Takeya Mizugaki at WEC 42.
Walking to cage at WEC42
The Big Frog opened everyone watching the fights eyes with his Jiu-Jitsu display as he dismantled his opponent from his back, using what some are considering to be the best Guard in the sport. “Jiu-Jitsu is my life. I live it and breathe it everyday and i was disgusted with the decision at my last fight” says Curran when asked about his most recent fight. Not looking to waste anytime after his last fight, Curran began thinking of ways to challenge himself as his fate is decided by the WEC management over the next month.

Curran, also known for his great Jiu-Jitsu credentials over the years has looked down the path of getting back to his roots after suffering the heartbreaking decision at WEC 42. “Man, I just felt great and know I won. I am happy with how I fought and have no real regrets. Its time I get submerged into the grappling world again and hone my craft while I await WEC’s decision” Curran told us.
Coaches Padro Suaer and Dr. Doug Mango discuss ideas about Currans training session.

After his loss to Mizugaki, Jeff received his 2nd Degree on his Black Belt from his Master Pedro Sauer and he went right back to the mat to ponder what’s next. “Abu Dhabi popped into my head right away. I mean, I always wanted to compete in the trials but it never worked with my fight schedule. I have some time now so i made some calls.” After calling Pedro Sauer and Marcelo Garcia looking for a direct line to see about qualifying for ADCC, he was formally invited within 24 hrs. “I think it was a God send personally. I am coming off this good performance in the WEC, i have people like Pedro Sauer and Marcelo Garcia vouching for me so it all worked out”. On Sept 23rd, the Big Frog hops on a flight to Barcelona, Spain to compete in “Abu Dhabi”, the most prestigious grappling tournament on the planet. A tournament that features 16 of the worlds best grapplers in each of the 5 respected weight classes. What makes the Abu Dhabi Championships so special is that all competitors must receive an invite from the Sheikh Tahnoon of Abu Dhabi and United Arabic Emirates or win a series of Regional Qualifiers from around the Globe.

For the first time in the Big Frog’s life he is going to train for a grappling tournament rather than just walk on like he has over the course of his career. “I just train everyday so when tournaments come up and I decide I want to compete I just show up. I never just trained my butt off to win it. This time is going to be different. I am really excited to train hard like i do for MMA for ADCC. Its all about stepping up for me and challenging myself” added Curran. So make no mistake about it, Big Frog has big plans and won’t be slowing down for anyone.

The tournament is set to begin September 26th with the finals on Sept 27th and is taking place in Barcelona, Spain. For more information on ADCC 2009, please visit www.adccbarcelona.com and visit www.adcombat.com for other news in and around the sport.

It was a sunny afternoon in Iowa and Lil Evil was doing some yard work… yes he does his own yard work. I believe he was planting flowers in the bed around his mail box when the sounds of birds chirping and the distant sound of lawnmowers was broken broken by a horn and a truck pulling a trailer. As it got closer Jens noticed it was pulling a Jeep. At this point it is still not all reregistering as Jens sits back and thinks to himself, “Man thats a nice jeep!” He then recognizes the face of the driver and realizes its the boys from Jeeperz 4WD and this is actually his jeep!

AFTER

At this point he is almost in tears as he is so excited about the transformation Jeeperz 4WD did to his “baby”. “I couldn’t believe it, I just couldn’t believe it… this is my jeep!?” Jens told us after he posed for some photo’s Rob the owner of Jeeperz 4WD.

I asked Jens if he took it around town to show some friends and he told me he did get out of it for 10 hours.

Enjoy the picks and a special thank you to Rob and all the guys at Jeeperz 4WD for the hard work they put in on this for Jens.

In “Blindside”, SuckerPunch shows you a side of the fighters’ lives you don’t normally see.
In this episode we watch Amir Sadollah throw down with Junior Assuncao in the Y101 studio as they test out the new UFC video game by THQ. Amir felt he had the upper hand in the game since he is actually in it… but Junior is not impressed.

SuckerPunch Entertainment would like to recognize TapouT, Sprawl, and Fight! for supporting the stars in the SuckerPunch stable. It’s sponsors like these that truly help evolve this sport.
