First bouldering at Stanage Plantation, Derbyshire, UK

Location: Stanage Plantation Date: Sunday 27 July Sunday shone this weekend. A planned trip to the gym was quickly canned and instead we made a trip out to a new bouldering spot. After a recommendation that Stanage plantation had some good climbing (thanks Jonny!) we checked my bouldering guide book and set out. If you’re reading this wondering [...]

Bouldering Burbage photos

Finally a little sun! Yesterday I went climbing in Burbage (specifically Burbage south boulders) in the Peak District near Sheffield. I’m really glad I’ve got these boulders within 15 minutes of my home. Although in a climbing wall / gym I’m happy on 6a/6b the techniques on grit boulders are a different world: lots of smearing [...]

If the new champ only had a personality: Jon Jones ‘Tonight Show’ photos with Jay Leno and Kirstie Alley

The UFC's light heavyweight division has been a revolving door at the top. The promotion's glamour division hasn't had that guy to pitch to the mainstream because no one has been able to defend the title. Jon Jones may change that.

If Jones can put together a long title reign, the champ's starpower is limitless. He's a smart cookie and savvy. You'll see that on "The Tonight Show" this evening. Jones is a guest along with Kirstie Alley. From some early photos he's posted via Twitter, it doesn't look like he's nervous.

Jones is pictured with former "Cheers" star Kirstie Alley and Jay Leno, the host of the show.

Eddie Bravo 'Blown Away' by Chan Sung Jung's Twister Submission

With the possible exception of Chan Sung Jung himself, perhaps no one was more excited to see "The Korean Zombie" use the twister to submit Leonard Garcia at UFC Fight Night 24 than Eddie Bravo - the grappler who's credited with bringing the move to prominence in MMA and jiu-jitsu competitions.

"I was blown away," Bravo told MMA Fighting. "It was surreal."

Bravo has been teaching the twister - along with other mainstays of his style, such as the rubber guard - out of his 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu school in southern California for years. But Jung's use of the move marked the first time a UFC fight was ever finished with the twister. Considering where Bravo first learned it, he said, the fact that it took this long to be used in MMA's largest organization might be the most surprising part of the story.
