  • “Rush” Back to the Top  By : 5thRound.com
    What can happen in four months? In that time, a fighter can go from dominant to disaster, as was the case with Georges St. Pierre (GSP).

    On November 18, 2006 St. Pierre stepped into the Octagon to take on, according to Dana White, “The Most Dominant Welterweight of All-Time(s),” Matt Hughes.

  • “Hollywood” to Put on a Show  By : 5thRound.com
    It has taken nearly nine years, two Pride title belts and a 22-5 record to bring Dan “Hollywood” Henderson to get back into the UFC. Henderson has already become the only fighter in MMA history to simultaneously hold two title belts in different weight classes, and at UFC 75 will again look to write a new page in the record books by unifying title belts.

  • Why Your Self Defense Doesn't Work  By : Rosendo Lopez
    If you’ve ever been in a self defense situation and your techniques didn’t work there are several reasons why.

    Reason # 1 is awareness. By paying attention to your surroundings you can see “what is wrong” with your environment and be able to detect the attack ahead of time and respond accordingly. Inner awareness is even more important because if you’re distracted by thoughts or if you’re not able to remain calm, the attacker will get the best of you.

    One day I came home from school, and found that my Dad had replaced the video game console with a box, saying “Take a shower, and meet me in the garage at 4.” The box had a martial...
  • Who's Your Daddy?  By : 5thRound.com
