I sat ringside watching the event which proved above the hype. One thing I didn't notice was the push into the cage entrapment to just beat the crap out of someone. This environment was not conducive to that. As a lifetime martial art enthusiast I felt that it showcased more skills and gave the wrestler a fighting chance. The 28 degree angle of the dojotube surrounding seemed to bring people back to the ring. It also seemed to maximize take downs. A slighter degree angle may decrease that scenario. All in all I think we watched more exciting fights. Let's hope Bob Meyrowitz has the insight to bring in big named fighters that would attract more viewership and ultimately be good for the sport. We've got interviews with every fighter after their victory and some clips you just can't see anywhere else at www.dojotube.com Dojoe.artlifestyleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14111683923057549249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4087635509308942336.post-75948759027739823222008-04-08T20:34:00.000+03:002008-04-08T20:34:00.000+03:002008-04-08T20:34:00.000+03:00This is the beginning of a new MMA event with some mystery behind it. I think it is definitely worth 35$ for a ppv event. Who knows it might just become popular and you'll be the first to see it. Just as I remember watching the first UFC and every one thereafter. If the ring is done properly I believe it will be a step above what is offered out there. A new fighting environment will show different concepts and techniques in fighting. It's only $35 and it's not like we have the opportunity that often to see butterbean and Taktarov fight (other than 1 winning fight it's been 10 years since we've seen the sambo expert fight for real and not just in the movies) And the whole tournament concept coming back. If we see enough money thrown at the purses you could see some big names in the future ... like RIcco Rodgriguez fresh off of celebrity rehab!Of course you can always watch it on www.dojotube.com but it is definitely worth viewing on the big screen.artlifestyleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14111683923057549249noreply@blogger.com
