Atemi Cast Host Rick and Bellator Lightweight Champ Eddie Alvarez

Yes that is me Atemi Cast host Rick with Bellator Fighting Championship Lightweight Champ Eddie Alvarez. Eddie was a nice guy and took the time to talk with us and take a few pics. I will admit that I was rooting for the under dog Toby Imada but Alvarez proved he was the champ.

Japan taught him the world's deadliest art-- NOW VENGENCE IS HIS.

This is an upcoming wuxia film. TRUE LEGEND is also the last finished project of David Carradine. Yuen Woo Ping director of Drunken Master and Iron Monkey oversees this film. This flick also stars Michelle Yeoh, Gordon Liu, and Cung Le. The preview looks great. Check it out.

Eddie Alvarez on Bellator XII: ‘This will be my absolute best performance to date’

Eddie Alvarez is just one win away from capturing the Bellator Lightweight World Championship. With less than one week remaining until the season ending Bellator XII event at the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, FL, the lightweight contender is preparing for the fight of his life. Alvarez (17-2) will take on Toby Imada (22-12) for a championship purse of $175,000 and the right to hold the first ever Bellator Lightweight World Championship title.



“This will be my best performance to date, I plan on going out and displaying every act of MMA, to show the viewers that don’t know what MMA is and don’t quite understand the sport…I want to display that Bellator fighting is here to stay and we’re going to put on exciting shows,” said Alvarez.

The 155 lb striker will take on Toby Imada in the headlining bout on June 19th in front of a packed house to close out the inaugural Bellator tournament season. The match up comes just weeks after both Alvarez and Imada respectively demolished their opponents at Bellator V in Dayton, OH. Alvarez managed to defeat Eric Reynolds via 3rd round rear naked choke while Imada unleashed the inverted triangle choke upon the stunned Jorge Masvidal to secure his title shot. The Philadelphia fight factory star will look to take home the first ever Bellator Fighting Championships Lightweight World Championship title in the same arena where his Bellator career began just three months earlier.

“I’m very self motivated, I’m very confident and I believe in my abilities to perform at a high level all the time,” said Alvarez.

It will take a very high level of performance from Alvarez when up against Imada on June 19th. His 30-year-old veteran opponent is perhaps best known for his submission of the year highlight victory over the heavily favor Jorge Masvidal. The tremendously athletic win is a sign that Imada wants the title more than anything and will stop short of nothing to achieve that honor. In his previous tournament victories Alvarez has been able to pace himself and control his opponents, ultimately choosing the exact moment that he wanted to end the fight and has effectively carried out each finish on command. Alvarez will headline the Lightweight World Championship at Bellator XII on June 19th in Hollywood FL. The fight will broadcast in primetime Saturday June 20th on ESPN Deportes.

“There’s no doubt in my mind that come June 19th that I’ll have my title and will continue to be a champion of Bellator,” said Alvarez.

Hector Lombard Looks Unstoppable Heading into Bellator Middleweight World Championship

Former Cuban Olympian Hector “Shango” Lombard has been on the warpath of late. The 185lb Judoku has recently annihilated two tournament opponents in less than five minutes combined. On June 19th, Lombard will step into the cage to take on undefeated wrestler Jared Hess for a $175,000 and the first ever Bellator Middleweight World Championship title. The headlining title fight will be featured back-to-back with the Lightweight World Championship bout between Eddie Alvarez and Toby Imada, both fights will be broadcast in primetime on ESPN Deportes Saturday June 20.



“Hector is one of those fighters that leaves fans breathless every time he fights, said Bellator Fighting Championships CEO Bjorn Rebney.“ He is a very skilled fighter and has proving that thus far in the tournament.”

Lombard will enter his third fight in less than three months brandishing a record of 20-2-1, with 10 wins coming by way of knockout. His undefeated opponent, Jared Hess (8-0-1), is a former All-American wrestler from University of Central Oklahoma and has five stunning submission in his unblemished fight resume. Given the circumstance of his last two appearances, Lombard looks more like an unstoppable freight train than the former Australian league MMA champion. Lombard handily defeated first round opponent Virgil Lozano with a strong first round uppercut at Bellator IV in Oklahoma back in mid-April. His next bout came against the then-10-2 Army Ranger Damien Stelly three weeks ago at Bellator IX in Monroe, LA. Lombard was able to pulverize Stelly with flurry of fists and ended the one-sided bout just under the three minute mark of round one.

The explosive Middleweight will have to stay focused to defeat Hess and lay claim the 185lb title in tournament finale at the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, FL. While both of Lombard’s previous losses have come via decision, early Bellator bout have proven that upsets can happen when you least expect them especially when facing a crafty submission artist like Hess. It’s a fact that Lombard holds the clear-cut edge in the striking game but his opponent did not earn a shot at the title by being a pushover and will look to end the fight on ground.

Hector Lombard will face Jared Hess for $175,000 and the first ever Bellator Middleweight World Championship bout on June 19th at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL. The fight will be broadcast in primetime on Saturday June 20, exclusively on ESPN Deportes.

Tony Atemi Cast Host

(Rich “Ace” Franklin steps on his dick with a comment on the O&A show!)


Rich Franklin

This is the follow up I promised from my post on the Atemi Cast FaceBook page.


Helio Gracie

Mixed Martial Arts competition was the brain child of Gracie Jiu-jitsu founder Helio Gracie who studied Japanese Ju-Jitsu. So how could there be a difference between MMA and martial arts? I, along with probably three quarters of the MMA world, figured that MMA was Martial Arts “Mixed” with Grappling! Was this not how they marketed it in the beginning? The slow introduction of this “Sport” into the United States had more and more martial artists getting involved to compete and try out their styles against the so called unbeatable Gracie system. You have got to ask yourself, does the use of the name Ju-Jitsu make it a martial art? If you’re fighting and using techniques from Ju-Jitsu, Judo, karate and other arts, then doesn’t it make it a “martial art?” If you’re just using your hands and punching then is this not just called Boxing? What the fuck Rich!? You fucking train in Muy Thai and Brazilian Ju-Jitsu don’t you? So what the fuck do you mean that you’re not a martial artist!? What the hell was that comment about you not being some 40 year old guy in pajamas telling kids what to do? When your ass can’t fight any more, what the fuck do you think you will be doing? Probably running one of the U.F.C. sponsored gyms in your home town, teaching kids and adults how to be MMA fighters. Face it, there’s not much you can accomplish after your ride in this sport is over.


Rich Franklin UFC Champ

There is no doubt that you are a good fighter. You have held the championship belt and are getting ready to get back in the ring again and possibly regain that title soon. Your fucking “sport” comes from the Martial Arts! If not for the martial arts that you do in it, your ass wouldn’t be where you are right now. So, you were that guy who played guerilla ball on the basket ball court and speared the shit out of people on the football field. That just means you made a good tackle dummy and punching bag. You had to learn the martial skills you have now to make it in this MMA world and beget the absurd money you earn. Amid ancient times these same techniques were used for fights to the death. So don’t be-little those tactics like you were some fucking natural “bad ass” and that this was all you ever needed to survive in the octagon.


F.F.B.

You owe what you enjoy to the martial arts and should recognize that. It is some 40 year old guy out there, with a dojo, full of paying kids, wanting to be the next Rich “Ace” Franklin that you should be thanking. Without that guy you wouldn’t be shit! This SPORT wouldn’t be shit! No one would know what MMA was. Rich, what you don’t seem to get is that guy you insult running that school is probably one of the MMA “faggot fan boys.” The person who tells all those kids to idolize you so they want to be you. These are the kids that will be the next generation of MMA fighters. That is if this “SPORT” doesn’t die out before they grow up and get their chance to be admired by some other 40 year old MMA “faggot fan boy,” who used to be a fighter and now is making a fortune training future “ F.F.B.’s.”

Shaolin Kung Fu expert and prolific Chinese actor died Thursday from kidney failure. Kien Shih appeared in over 100 movie and TV shows. He was best known for his portrayal as the evil drug lord Han in the Bruce Lee classic ENTER The DRAGON.

Rick Atemi Cast Host

Not putting on a show,
He shines;
Not justifying himself,
He is distinguished;
Not boasting,
He is acknowledged.


David Carradine

72 year David Carradine has passed away. That is if you can call hanging naked and dead from a drapery cord in a hotel room in Bangkok, Thailand passing away. I can only hope that the final cause of death is not auto-erotic asphyxiation, alike INXS singer Michael Hutchence. Thai news is reporting that David Carradine has committed suicide but the American embassy is saying wait for the autopsy.


Kung Fu

Like many of my age set David Carradine is best known as Kwai Chang Caine. The Chinese American half breed who is taken in by Shaolin monks in the TV show Kung Fu. Kung Fu is classic television. Carradine got the part of Kwai Chang Caine after Bruce Lee who created the show and pitched it was turned down for the starring role. Studio execs told Lee that American audiences would not accept a Chinese leading man. So David Carradine got the Kung Fu TV show, Bruce Lee went on to film ENTER THE DRAGON, and all was well in the universe.


Kwai Chang Caine

David left the Kung Fu show after three years saying the show had run its course. During the shows three year run Carradine acted with such stars as Leslie Nielsen, John Carradine (his father), Barbara Hershey, Keith Caradine (his brother), and William Shatner.


DEATH RACE 2000

The late 1970’s and 1980’s found David Caradine as a prominent B movie actor. He starred in such films as DEATHRACE 2000, CIRCLE of IRON, The LONG RIDERS, LONE WOLF McQUADE, The WARRIOR and The SORCERESS, and KUNG FU: The MOVIE (1986). These are my favorite Caradine flicks. The 1990’s David Carradine returned to TV greatness with Kung Fu: The Legend Continues.


KILL BILL

David Carradine was a working actor. He has over 200 TV and film appearances and was regulated to B movies until Quentin Tarantino cast him as Bill in the KILL BILL movies. Once more Carradine was relevant. He continued to work and was filming the movie STRETCH the morning he died.


Signed Photo

David Carradine is a guilty pleasure of mine. I have been collecting his movies since the video tape days and continue now in the digital media era. I have yet to tire of the Kung Fu TV show. I even like The Legend Continues. Maybe the next Atemi Cast movie night we will feature David Kwai Chang Caine Carradine. Until then I will gaze at my Carradine signed photo. The one I obtained while David was undressing my 17 year step daughter with his eyes at a South Florida pop culture convention. Peace.

KIMBO SLICE

Kimbo Slice is in the next ULTIMATE FIGHTER heavy weight house. Remember Dana White saying the only way Kimbo was ever going to be in the UFC was to fight his way in by being on the ULTIMATE FIGHTER TV show. Well it is done. Kimbo is one of the fighters in the Spike TV reality show. We all know what that means ratings, ratings, ratings. That is until Kimbo gets submitted or worse knocked the fuck out again. I am going to have to watch this. Damn you Dana White!


Forget all the other BS and watch the Kimbo interview starting at the 6:18 mark.

Lets do it again.
