UFC 131 – Vancouver

UFC 131 - Vancouver

Sam Stout will have the hometown advantage as he enters the Octagon in Vancouver. This Canadian lightweight has some of the most technical striking skills in the UFC. Stout has never had a boring fight and many of his battles, especially the ones with Spencer Fisher, are fan favourites. Devastatingly quick, incredibly durable and ultra-talented, “Hands of Stone” will be put to the test when he faces one of the toughest challenges of his young career.

Yves Edwards is one of the pioneers of the lightweight division. This “thugjitsu” master is a true veteran of the sport. Yves takes a three fight win streak into the octagon and is looking to put a stop to the Canadian warrior.

The young lion and the crafty veteran will put on a fight that is sure to excite all fans. Their styles are different, their countries are different, their attitudes are different, but one thing will be the same; they will be fighting each other in style. Both athletes will be wearing the Hayabusa Pro Competition Shiai Fight Shorts. These shorts allow each warrior to bring their best to a fight, which has the potential to become a classic.

Vagner Rocha has the opportunity of a lifetime. As a late replacement for the injured Mac Danzig, Vagner is set to make his UFC debut. He is going to have his hands full against former WEC title challenger Donald Cerrone. Look for Rocha to use his powerful ground game against “Cowboy”. It will not matter if Rocha is on his back or in the mount, he will be able to fight with confidence, knowing his Hayabusa Pro Competition Shiai Fight Shorts will stand up to anything.

A perfect 5-0 record is on the line as Chris Weidman enters the Octagon for the second time. “The All American” travels to Canada to take on Jesse Bongfeldt. Chris, a wrestling stand out, has been touted as one of the top middleweight prospects to hit the sport in years. This looks to be a classic grappler vs. striker match up. Weidman, under the tutelage of Matt Serra and Ray Longo, might have something else in store for Bongfeldt. No matter where the fight takes place, Chris Weidman will be able to control the pace of the fight wearing the Hayabusa Pro Competition Shiai Fight Shorts.

UFC newcomer Jason Young is ready to make an immediate impact in the featherweight division. This British fighter is ready to take on Dustin Poirier. With three submission losses, “Shotgun” will have to be extra careful against Poirier, an accomplished grappler. Young will have to be ready to be strong, fast and accurate. “Shotgun” stated that one of his favourite striking techniques is “Catching a flush head kick”. This technique will be a lot easier as he will be wearing the Hayabusa Pro Competition Shiai Fight Shorts. The Pro Performance stretch panel and split side seams allow for unrestricted range of motion.

Jon Olav Einemo is a grappling wiz. He has been out of the fight game since 2006, but is ready to return to action. Five of his wins have come by submission, including four arm bars, and he will need to bring his best game as he faces off against Dave Herman. Herman is a big, heavy handed, warrior with 14 (T)KO’s in his career. Einemo will look to drag “Pee Wee” to the ground and submit him early. This heavyweight bout features two big fighters making their UFC debuts. The difference is that Einemo will make his wearing the Hayabusa Pro Competition Shiai Fight Shorts. These shorts are perfectly engineered to allow Einemo to grapple with confidence.

Mike Massenzio makes his return to the UFC, but will do it in the light heavyweight division. He steps in the Octagon covered head to toe in Hayabusa. He will look great making his entrance, but it is inside the cage that he needs to prove himself. Massenzio, wearing the Hayabusa Pro Competition Shiai Fight Shorts, will look to make a major impact in the 205 lb. division. This wrestling stand out has faced controversy in the past, in a loss to Dollaway, but will look to make a statement at UFC 131. His competition is stiff, in the form of Krzysztof Soszynski, but he is ready for the challenge. Watch this dynamic fighter go to war wearing Hayabusa – #1 Trusted Brand in MMA.

UFC 158 – The Epic Battle: GSP vs Diaz

Leave a reply

GSP v Diaz

UFC 158: St-Pierre vs. Diaz
Who will dominate?

Georges ‘Rush’ St-Pierre is one of the most decorated mixed martial artists currently competing. ‘Rush” is also considered one of the best athletes on the planet. With over half a dozen title defences already, St-Pierre is set to take on his next challenge, Nick Diaz. Diaz, one of the more controversial fighters around, had a previous engagement with Georges, but this bout was scrapped and many fans were highly upset. Now with a new date set, these two warriors are ready to settle their differences.

Diaz will head into hostile territory and fight St-Pierre in his own backyard. Nick, a Cesar Gracie trained fighter, will present ‘Rush’ with the widest skill set he has yet to face. Diaz has some of the best offensive BJJ in the business, but it is his amazing boxing skills that will present the most difficulty. It is not uncommon for Nick to throw several hundred punches in one fight. Combine this with the athleticism of a top notch triathlete and you have a very dangerous fighter that can go full out for 5 rounds.

Georges may be the only welterweight that can compete with Diaz athletically. St-Pierre also has great BJJ, but it is his extremely diverse striking game that can change a fight. ‘Rush’ uses a vast array of kicks, knees, elbows and punches to keep opponents guessing. The biggest difference in the two skill sets is the devastating wrestling game that, to this date, no welterweight has been able to counter. St-Pierre flawlessly combines all his skills into a complete package that has allowed him to become the best 170 lb. fighter on the planet.

Georges ‘Rush’ St-Pierre has proven that training and hard work can take you to the top and the best athletes train with the best equipment; Hayabusa. Hayabusa is proud to partner with Georges St-Pierre and wishes him the best of luck as he looks to defend his title again.

Also on the card…

Patrick ‘The Predator’ Cote is making his welterweight debut and is doing so in his home province of Quebec. Cote first made a name for himself in the UFC by climbing up to 205 lbs. and going three full rounds with Tito Ortiz. Cote, who has fought most of his fights at 185 lbs., is dropping down in weight and looking to refresh his career. ‘The Predator’ has had a great run at middleweight and even challenged for the title. Patrick has devastating power and very technical boxing skills. Cote, with the drop to 170lbs., will be a fighter to watch. Patrick Cote and Hayabusa have a proud history together and we are excited to see what ‘The Predator’ can do at 170lbs.

Jordan ‘Young Gun’ Mein may be a new name for many mixed martial arts fans, but this fighter is one to watch. Mein has been involved in martial arts since the early age of 4 and turned professional at the tender age of 16. Mein, who is now 23, is about to have his 35th professional fight.

‘Young Gun’ is a skilled, patient striker with knockout power in his hands and feet. Mein will need all his skills as he is set to take on one of the most durable fighters in all of mixed martial arts, Dan Miller. Miller is as tough and rugged as they come and ‘Young Gun’ will need to bring his ‘A’ game to this fight. Jordan is ready to step into the spotlight on the big stage and let the rest of the world know what he can do. Hayabusa is excited to team up with Jordan ‘Young Gun’ Mein and expects this one to possibly be fight of the night.

Hayabusa would also like to wish John ‘The Bull’ Makdessi, Antonio ‘Pato’ Carvalho, Rick ‘The Horror’ Story, and Yves ‘Tiger’ Jabouin the best of luck in their upcoming bouts. These fine fighters all choose to train and compete in Hayabusa. Hayabusa expects a great night of fights and looks forward to an amazing, action packed card.

Cote will be wearing the Chikara™ Fight Shorts on fight night and Hayabusa is expecting fireworks. Take a look below.
