Could it be that a fresh breath of air is blowing through the Mixed Martial Arts world? Possibly, now that the once dead WFA has sprung back to life from the ashes of the early part of this decade to challenge both UFC and PRIDE for dominance of MMA. Although the other two organizations have a stronger fan base and more advertising revenue, WFA has one thing they do not: fresh fighters who deliver exciting bouts without all the hype PRIDE and UFC have to stoop to in order to get publicity.

On July 22, fighters, promoters, and fans of UFC and PRIDE need to pay attention to the rumblings and shakings coming from the WFA in the King of the Streets Bout. Pitting the ground-pounding dominance of Quinton “Rampage” Jackson against the Olympic wrestling skills of Matt Lindland will settle once and for all which technique is stronger. True MMA fans will be ecstatic to learn that Bas Rutten will defend his Championship title against Kimo Leopoldo in a battle that will determine who is the top fighter in the WFA.

Let’s not forget about Vernon “Tiger” White and Jason “Mayhem” Miller when they duke it out against their respected opponents. One fight in particular promises to showcase the talent of the WFA is the bout between Brazilian fighter Peele and Eduardo Aguilar. This match-up between two promising stand up fighters with quick hands will definitely bring down the house, and show UFC and PRIDE how even a short, good match beats an boring blowout match any day of the week.

King of the Streets will blow away the best over-hyped UFC match. Every fighter on the card has something to prove, if not to themselves, their opponents, and their fans, then to everyone that thinks MMA is a passing fad. The WFA remembers something PRIDE and UFC forgot a long time ago: the fans come first. A good fight with a solid card sells it self. Promoters who have to trick fans into attending a bout will quickly find that they must keep upping the ante; eventually, the fans will tire of manufactured rivalries engineered to enrich promoters and move on.

Let’s all hope that the WFA represents the return to the glory days of Mixed Martial Arts. If you’re tired of the hyped bouts that don’t deliver, get on King of the Streets on July 22. See for yourself what real MMA is all about.

    Like religion and politics, martial arts are not for a lack of it's zealots. Decide right now, you can either A. Continue to "sip the kool-aide" or B. Look to improve and learn. One criticism about our training material is that it is simple and could only work against some one who is untrained. What the hell does this mean, exactly? Does trained mean a woman who takes muay thai or the serial rapist, sociopath who has successfully applied his trade a dozen times? Does it apply to the mixed martial artists or the bag-man on a pick up?

    I always hear the argument...you don't need a black belt to defense yourself (I know, I said it). This is absolutely 100% true. Self Defense is NOT a martial art. But teaching self defense IS.
