What a crazy weekend went to Vegas for the Truesport Event and had a great time.We got to Vegas to meet with Kekoa and Serena from the TapouT Gym. Of course they put us to work and put Kekoa's turn table in the back of my truck,along with 4 giant boxes of Vinny's personal stuff that I brought to him.



We then checked out the Truesport weigh-ins,but had to leave to meet Vinny at Marc Laimons Cobra Kai gym www.ckjj.com/1/index.htm for a training session.Got to CK and met with Marc and Johny Hendricks and two other fighters that I cant seem to recall there names.Vinny and the other guys showed a ton of skill and was exciting to see high level fighters helping one another as they prepare for there upcoming fights.

We then headed over to Texas De Brazil www.texasdebrazil.com/ which is my new addiction when I am in Las Vegas. As always we had dinner reservations at 8:15 but when dealing with Vinny you know he wont be on time,so we waited till 9:00 to sit down and had a killer mix of steaks,chickens,lamb and whatever else they bring for us to eat. After adding about 40 lbs of pure weight.We then attempted to head over to the Orleans Casino for the Tuff N Nuff show but we where so late people were leaving as we got to the front entrance. We then called it a night since Vinny has a big fight coming up at Ring Of fire,and we wanted to sleep after a huge meal.

1 man vs a country

The silent assassin (our name for him) Alex Schoenauer went down to Brazil to fight Paulo Filho,but ended up fighting the people in the crowd (mentally) and the country of Brazil who did not want one American to win.

For the record I now think Paulo is not a top 100 fighter he showed no striking,bad wrestling, and pretty much just showed up for a pay check............. oh and to shoot in on Alex hold him against the fence and do nothing else but gasp for air.

Yes that's how the fight went. Here is what we learned when in another country where your opponent is from DO NOT LET THE FIGHT GO TO THE JUDGES SCORE CARD. Check out the video thanks to

Vunny vs Daniel Valverde

Team Minotauro's Daniel Valverde faces rival Vinicius Magalhaes at UFC Fan Expo 2009
by MMAjunkie.com Staff on Jul 08, 2009 at 4:05 pm ET
The UFC Fan Expo 2009 has filled out its fourth and final Grapplers Quest superfight as Team Minoutauro jiu-jitsu coach Daniel Valverde will meets "The Ultimate Fighter 8" finalist Vinicius Magalhaes.

The Grapplers Quest organization today announced the addition via its Twitter account.

Magalhaes and Valverde will compete in one of four grappling superfights that will take place on July 10 and 11 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas at the UFC's first-ever fan expo.

The grappling contest between two high-level Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belts is a grudge match of sorts, as Magalhaes ruffled the feathers of of opposing "TUF" coach Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Valverde by commenting during the eighth season of the Spike TV-broadcast reality show that "Minotauro's" grappling wasn't elite-level.

Magalhaes and Valverde, as well as MMA legend Rumina Sato and multiple-time grappling champion Ulysses Gomez, will meet on Friday, July 10, beginning at 2 p.m. PT.

On Saturday, July 11, also at 2 p.m PT, WEC contender Fredson Paixao meets 22-time Grapplers Quest champion Jeff Glover, while UFC lightweight Joe Stevenson faces 22-year-old phenom Bill Cooper.

Tickets are still available for the UFC's first ever fan expo at the UFC Fan Expo 2009's official website.

And boy did he not disappoint, not only did he win but he "Knocked The Fuck Out" of his opponent Bill Theofanopoulos.Scott's punch was so hard it launched Bill's mouth piece out of the ring and possibly another area code.So as a treat we got our hand's on the video enjoy ........ look for his sweet walk out TEE :)

A Sad Day For MMA

It is so sad to hear when a person loses there life. Charles "Mask" Lewis founder of TAPOUT helped build a MMA lifestyle Brand that will live on forever. I for one am proud to say that it was his Passion,Vision,and true love for the sport that inspired me to build my own MMA business. I have never meet Mask, but when I was around him he had a glow about him that made people smile,laugh and just feel really good to be a MMA fan. Charles I wish I could have told you this in person but Thank You for your inspiration............ your love of a sport will never be forgotten

Cage Fighter

Here is a blast from the the past.............from the movie Napoleon Dynamite. Kip like many new MMA fans claim to be training as a Cage Fighter. Funny stuff but whats even funnier is that because of the popularity of the UFC many 18-35 men have started saying things like "Kip". Enjoy this video you know I do :)

Who Say's MMA For Girls Don't Work !!

Here is a classic video of my favorite reason why Girl's should Train MMA. This is a real fight in a Gym in Brazil, from what I remember about this video is the girl was disrespected ............... and the rest is history enjoy :)

Couture vs. Nogueira Likely for UFC 101

As reported by http://www.cagepotato.com/


The Natural and Minotauro — two legendary heavyweight champions whose last performances had fans wondering if their days of competing at the sport's highest level were over. But later this year, one of them will triumph once again. MMA Weekly breaks it:


According to multiple sources from Couture’s camp, he has agreed to face Nogueira at the yet-unannounced UFC 101 sometime in August. The event may take place in Portland, Ore. The UFC is now awaiting a response from Nogueira’s camp.

Previously, Couture was offered a fight with Nogueira in the first half of 2009, but his role in Sylvester Stallone’s “The Expendables,” set to film in late March, got in the way. Couture was also rumored to be under consideration for UFC 99 in Cologne, Germany on June 13, but a source indicated he would be unable to complete a proper 8-week training camp and would not take the fight.

At 45 years of age, RandyCouture's shelf life as a pro fighter has become extremely limited. But to me, his loss to Brock Lesnar last November only proved that he shouldn't be in the cage with guys who are 50 pounds bigger than him. And as much as Couture vs. Nogueira is a fan's dream-match, it's too bad that Couture still insists on competing as a heavyweight, where he's now at a size disadvantage against everyone else in the division.

As for Nogueira, he looked much older than his 32 years during his loss to Frank Mir in December, where he was completely outboxed and had nothing to offer offensively; the noticeable decline in Big Nog's reaction time stood as a very bad omen for his future fights. Both Nogueira and Couture are talented enough to rebound strongly from their last losses, but the guy who loses this one might be taking a big step towards retirement. Randy may not be interested in competing as a middle-of-the-card fighter, and if Nogueira no longer has his famous durability to rely on, he'll be a sitting duck against younger, more energetic heavyweights.

But hey, let's not get too gloomy just yet. This is the fight that should have happened a year ago, when Randy was estranged from the UFC. Better late than never, right?

Rise of a BJJ Brown Belt

Grand Master Helio Gracie

Helio Gracie, the father of Gracie jiu-jitsu, is dead at the age of 95. Gracie passed in his sleep early Thursday in Itaipaiva, Rio de Janeiro, after he had been admitted to a local hospital a few days prior for stomach problems.

Combat Clothing would like to wish the entire Gracie family our deepest condolences .Grand Master Helio will be missed but will never be forgotten. He helped change the way people looked at Martial Arts.He showed the world what Jiu-Jitsu was, and how it became a major blue print for modern MMA. Thank you Helio

It's A Brown Belt Thing!!

So Vinny came up to me after a hard day of teaching at PRO-AM Mixed Martial ARTS Training Center(that's a mouth full)and said that he needed to promote one of his students. So I thought to myself cool lets get some black tape tear off a small strip and roll the tape around the dudes white belt and lets go to lunch !! Vinny then informed me that he was promoting Peter Sutton...... well to all of you in the WWW.COM land its just a name but to Vinny its a BIG Deal.

You see Peter is a Purple belt but as a purple belt he has won BJJ Nationals Absolute Division as a purple belt (crazy) and competed at the BJJ Worlds in the Black Belt Division taking 3rd as a purple belt (retarded). Yes the dude has skills. So we here at Combat Clothing would like to say congratulations to Peter and good job to Vinny I guess he not only has Mad Crazy BJJ but can also teach and pass on some sick skills......come find out at Pro-Am Mixed Martial Arts in Murrieta Ca
