VIDEO ON THE LINK

Hi all, Hacran fought in the UFC and I posted this in the heavies but I thought it was equally as relevant here as the subjects he covers effect all marginalised communities and his inspirations for fighting go some way to explain why so many good fighters are coming out of Brazil.

Please please please share the link via the FIGHTLAND site and comment in the comment sections there, we are trying to raise finance for a film about MMA in the favelas and your interest will help us do just that.

We shot this just before the police invaded Santo Amaro (Hacrans community).

i remember i read some time ago that actually fake wrestling (WWE) is more dangerous than MMA, because of the many deadly accidents during the matches..These happen mostly due the crazy stunts they do during the show..
Furthermore i also thought that boxing is more dangerous because you get hit more often on fewer spots, like the head and in MMA you can get all kinds of injuries all over your body..
I wonder if there is any real proof of reliable statistics about this..
What do you guys think and do you know of any interesting articles concerning this topic?

PANCRASE welterweight Championship between champion Takenori Sato and challenger No.1 contender Shingo Suzuki added on fight card at PANCRASE 247 on 19 May 2013 in Tokyo.
Suzuki is a fantastic professional fighter with his special one puch knock out, variety of submission and never-give-up heart.
Sato is on the way for 5th times diffending match in his Champion career. Only 60 days after latest draw match against SHOOTO champion Murayama that's why Sato returns to ring faster than usual.

Quote:
After the first minute of the first round, Jon Fitch is going to realize he’s in there with a completely different fighter and I’m going to be able to find some openings and put myself into some good positions. The more he does that the more than I’m going to be able to hurt him and I think over the first round and a half I’ll really be able to start to break Jon Fitch down and I’m definitely going to stop it. I don’t think this fight will go to a decision – I think I’ll stop him before the fight goes the distance.
Quote:
Fitch beat me worse than anybody’s ever beat me in my career inside or outside the cage. He beat me at a time when I was probably buying my own hype a little too much and I definitely underestimated Fitch and overestimated myself. That’s where my career started to go up and down and it’s a fight that I performed well under my abilities and now coming back in my career, it’s just a fight that I want back. I think every fighter wants a chance to avenge his losses.
