Had things happened differently, Nick Diaz would forever be part of MMA history. Regardless of how his career transpired after February, 2007 he should have been remembered as part of one of the greatest fights ever. His PRIDE 33 matchup against Takanori Gomi should have created a legacy like the first Forrest Griffin/Stephan Bonnar bout, only it was better. It was a mixed martial arts version of Gatti/Ward or Castillo/Corrales 1. It should have been the biggest victory of Diazs career and the centerpiece of his highlight reel.

Unfortunately, Diazs moment of glory lasted only about six weeks. On April 10th, the Nevada Athletic Commission announced that hed failed a drug test. Diaz had tested positive for marijuana, and his THC level was off the charts. The Nevada Athletic Commission considers a THC level over 50 a positive result for marijuana usage. Nick Diazs THC level was an astounding 175 and that led NSAC Chairman Dr. Tony Alamo to speculate that in this situation marijuana was a performance enhancing drug. The rationale was that during the fight Diaz was feeling no pain”literally. Diaz was fined, suspended and the result of his almost certain fight of the year winner with Gomi changed to a no decision.

Diaz had singlehandedly removed the luster from a classic bout. Following an action packed and very close first round Gomi took control in the second. Gomi had opened a cut on Diazs face and it was bleeding a gusher. On several occasions Gomi implored the referee to stop the fight, or at least check on the cut due to the excessive blood flow. With the ref showing no signs of stopping the fight and Diaz hanging tough, Gomi took the fight to the ground and in a matter of seconds found himself forced to tap out to a gogoplata. Looking at the fight now, the action is the same but theres something absent from it on a spiritual level. Had Diaz not tested positive and the result stood it would have become a classic fight. As it turned out, it became more of a case study demonstrating just how much pain a stoned mixed martial artist can withstand.

While Diaz might not be a bad person, hes definitely someone who attracts trouble. While the relative risk pot smoking is debatable and beyond the purview of this article one thing is certain”fighters are prohibited from its use. Sadly, it appears that Diaz places a greater value on his recreational drug use than his legacy as a professional prizefighter. Hes gone so far as to obtain a prescription for medical marijuana in California.

Ironically, Japans notoriously lax oversight of mixed martial arts makes it a perfect fit for Diaz. He doesnt have to worry about drug tests or athletic commissions who arent sympathetic to his claiming a need for medical marijuana. His workrate, conditioning and versatility as a fighter will be appreciated by the Japanese fans, and offers countless matchup opportunities for the promotion. Most significantly, perhaps, his participation with Japanese promotions DREAM or Sengoku provides Diaz the opportunity to put his missteps behind him and reassert himself as one of the sports most exciting fighters and not as a ‘cautionary tale’.

Renato Babalu Sobral defeated Bobby Southworth by TKO to become Strikeforce light heavyweight champion in the co-main event of the promotions Destruction card. Despite leaving with the belt around his waist, it wont be the centerpiece of Babalus highlight reel with the way it transpired.

A -350 wagering favorite despite his challenger status, Sobral was expected to use his world class Brazilian Jiu Jitsu skills and vast experience against superior competition to dominate the tough but limited Southworth. It didnt happen that way, as Southworth easily got the better of things in the first round.

The first round displayed Southworths style in microcosm, with much of the frame spent pushing Babalu up against the cage or on the ground inside his guard not really doing much. Sobral had one effective strike the entire round”and it would decide the fight. During a clinch against the cage wall the challenger rocked Southworth with a hard elbow strike that not only busted his nose but opened a huge cut over his right eye.

Upon seeing the gusher of blood Referee John McCarthy brought the ringside physician over to take a look. The doctor took some time to examine the cut, but eventually the round resumed following the consultation with only a few seconds remaining. As Southworths corner futilely worked on the gaping wound during the break the doctor once again took a look and recommended to McCarthy that the fight be stopped. As a result, Sobral was awarded the TKO victory and the championship belt.

The other half of the co-main event was decided in much more decisive fashion as Scott Smith knocked out well traveled veteran Terry Martin in a mere :24 seconds. Unfortunately, Martin didnt adequately close the distance against a fighter dubbed Hands of Steel and was caught with a perfectly placed punch that knocked him out cold.

In the semifinal event, Duane Bang Ludwig defeated Yves Edwards by unanimous decision in a very closely contested bout. Edwards was originally slated to face lightweight champion Josh Thomson until a toe injury necessitated his withdrawal. Ludwig took the fight on two weeks notice, and after a takedown clinic by Edwards in the first began to control the fight with his superior standup skills. Edwards superiority on the ground in the first two frames wasnt enough to sway the judges who obviously favored Ludwigs more effective striking. All three judges scored the contest 29-28 Ludwig, and he may have earned himself a championship match as a result.

Earlier in the evening, Kim Couture made short work of overmatched Lina Kvokov as she TKOd her foe in 1:44 of the first round. Couture, the wife of UFC legend Randy Couture, gained even more notoriety for the courage she displayed in her professional debut last June. She had a much easier time here”despite the fact that both fighters entered with 0-1 records Couture was significantly more polished as she put Kvokov on the defensive from the outset with her sharp punching combinations. She recovered momentarily and survived the initial onslaught. The reprieve was only temporary, however, as Couture launched another barrage of punches prompting the referee to step in and wave off the non-competitive affair.

In one of the highlight matches of the DREAM/K-1 Fields Dynamite! New Years Eve megacard, Japanese submission machine Shinya Aoki used a heel hook to submit a top notch opponent in Eddie Alverez at 1:32 of the first round. With the victory, Aoki sets up a rematch against reigning DREAM lightweight champion Joachim Hellboy Hansen and bolsters his claim as the best lightweight fighter in the world.

When the Aoki/Alverez fight was first announced, there was some speculation that Aoki had chosen one of the worst possible stylistic matchups for him. With Alverez’s toughness and heart, as well as a solid background in boxing and amateur wrestling hes become one of the best all round fighters in MMA and among the best in the world at the weight.

Alverez received an enthusiastic reaction from the fans in Tokyos Saitama Super Arena as he made his way to the ring on New Years Eve”his run to the DREAM lightweight finals and particularly the epic battle with Hansen has made him a highly respected and popular fighter in Japan. The reaction he received was nothing like Aokis, however, who was cheered like a rock star as he bounced to the ring.

As the two fighters stood for referee instructions, it was striking how much taller and rangier Aoki was than his opponent. Aoki is listed at 511, Alverez at 58 but the visual difference suggests that theres much more than a three inch height advantage in favor of Aoki.

For the first minute of the match, it appeared that a slow feeling out process was underway. Alverez landed the first blows of the contest, connecting with a nice three punch combination that displayed his lightning fast hands. Aoki danced away, however, and wasnt hurt by the attack.

What happened next can only be described as unbelievable”the sequence started when Aoki grabbed Alverezs ankle after a kick and appeared to go for what looked like a standing anklelock submission. Alverez managed to extricate his ankle and seeing that Aoki was off balance took the opportunity to go for his own takedown with a move that looked more like a judo throw than a traditional wrestling move. Against 99.9% of the other fighters in the world, Alverez would have ended up on top and started working in full or half guard.

When Alverez landed, however, Aoki wasnt there. In one single, almost gravity defying motion hed used the momentum from the takedown to shoot under Alverez and grab his leg. Alverez struggled briefly, but Aoki quickly cinched in a painful heel hook. Eventually, Alverez was forced to tap.

Ever the gentleman, Aoki dropped to the canvas after the tapout to check on his opponents condition than started his postfight celebration. Aoki is known as one of the most emotional fighters in the sport, and its an even money proposition that hell start crying during his postfight speech to the crowd. This time, however, he seemed excited and triumphant with no tears whatsoever. He quickly addressed the crowd in Japanese to an enthusiastic response before heading to the back.

One superlative that is no longer in dispute is Shinya Aokis status as the best submission artist in mixed martial arts. Theres simply no one else like him in the sport”theres plenty of good, solid submission based fighters but Aoki elevates it into an art form. Hes got the technical background to be sure, but what elevates him above the rest is his amazing ability at improvisation. This makes it downright impossible to adequately prepare to fight him, as Alverez discovered.

Dick Tracy: Big Boy Caprice and his mob are wreaking havoc on the streets of Chicago. Add to that, a loyal girlfriend, an orphan needing his help, being seduced by the sultry Breathless Mahoney, and a new threat in town know as the Blank, and you can see that Dick Tracy is a very busy man. It will take all his powers to save the city.

Mr. Mom: Delightful enough rehash of age-old sitcom premise, in which mamma gets a job while dad gets fired, leaving him to the scary world of running a home. Cast includes Michael Keaton, Teri Garr, Martin Ponder, Ann Jillian, Christopher Lloyd, Frederick Koehler, and Taliesin Jaffe. (91 minutes, 1983)

Hanussen: Brandauer offers a gripping behavior as the title personality, a WW1 Austrian cadet who is shot in the head–and creates the talent to scan minds and predict the future. Cast includes Klaus Maria Brandauer, Erland Josephson, Walter Schmidinger, and Karoly Epetjes. (115 minutes, 1988)

Red Rock West: Dwight Yoaka Cast includes Rock-solid little thriller, stuffed with twirls, turns and anticipation, in regards to truthful, unemployed Cage, who’s incorrect for a contract slaughterer employed to do in provocative, adulterous Boyle. Nothing that occurs is rational or possible; however the film is so excellent and so ludicrous that you are able to go along for the ride. Basket aficionados can taste his behavior as “Lyle, from Dallas,” the smarmiest of psychos, who is the genuine hit gentleman. Cast includes Nicolas Cage, Dennis Basket, Lara Flynn Boyle, and Timothy Carhart. (98 minutes, 1993)

Betrayed: A radio talk show host is murdered in Chicago. A radical white supremacist group takes responsibility for the act, and the FBI assigns Catherine Phillips to go undercover so they can investigate the group. While undercover, she falls in love with the man that might be responsible for the murder, and has to cope with the issues that go with this complex situation. She believes he is innocent, but also has a job to do.

Across the Universe: A young English boy comes to the US to find his father. On his search he finds, and falls in love with an American girl. Set in post Vietnam War US, this movie is really a vehicle to play a multitude of Beatles music. Julie Taymor. Evan Rachel Wood. Jim Sturgess, Joe Anderson, Dana Fuchs, Martin Luther McCoy. T. V. Carpio, Spencer Litf, Lisa Hogg, Bill Irwin, James Urbaniak, Dylan Baker, Joe Cocker, Bono, Salma Hayek, and Eddie Izzard all make appearances. (2007 Romance)

Side Street: Cast includes Farley Granger, Cathy O’Donnell, James Craig, Paul Kelly, Edmon Ryan, Paul Harvey, Adele Jergens, Harry Bellaver, and Whit Bissell. Tale of part-time postman Granger hastily robbing a ball of money, and finding himself engaged wilh gangsters and slaughter, is reinforced by striking N.Y.C. locations and stark cinematography by Joseph Ruttenberg. The pursue finale is a highlight (83 minutes, 1949)

Big Top Pee-wee: Farmer Pee-wee permits a voyaging carnival to stay on his asset, and swiftly creates carnival fever-in addition to a romance with the pretty trapeze performer – Golino. Peculiar if excessively bland comedy co-written and generated by Pee-Wee’s doppelganger, Paul Reubens has numerous witty minutes, in conjunction with some interested ones. Cast includes Pee-wee Herman, Penelope Ann Miller, Kris Kristofferson, and Valeria Golino. (78 minutes, 1988)

Bugs Bunny’s Third Film: Yet a new collection of Warner Bros. cartoons, with more superior-than-normal connecting material. Some excellent shows with Daffy Duck, Tweety and Sylvester, plus Ditch Jones’ classic “One Frog Late afternoon” minus the punch-line, although these are still more superior seen as individual briefs, and not as an ersatz characteristic film. The movie was generated by Friz Freleng. (76 minutes, 1982)

Okay, if your looking for downloads, try phrases like “Movie Rental Download”. If that phrase gets you nowhere, try another phrase. See if “Movie Downloads” gets a better result.
