In case you can't make it out from the letter below. Chris and Patty have confirmed that they are having twins. This will be the fourth set of twins in our family. We are twins, we have twin nephews, my wife Lisa has twin younger sisters, and we have cousins in Austria on my mom's side that are twins. One other weird thing to note was the proposed date of conception from the doctors was September 11, 2001. Twin Towers fall and Twins are conceived. Pretty freaky huh? No chain emails adding this fact alright?! Aloha, Well, Chris and I just went for an ultrasound to see our babies. Both babies are the same size and have a heartbeat. We are so thankful that God made these little miracles in our life. Anyway, everything looks good. Doctor says I am 8 weeks and 1 day, so the due date is back to 6/18/02. According to this doctor at Kapiolani Medical Center, he says that it is okay for me to go on my trip to California next week. I am so excited. We have been praying so hard for these little ones. We just wanna say thank you to everyone for their prayers. The power of God is awesome. Anyway, that is the latest in our pregnancy. Take care and God Bless you all, Patty |

It has come to my attention that there has been a couple of rumors regarding the Shogun event to be held at the Hawaii Convention Center on December 15. One was that the event was canceled. This is NOT true. The event is going on as planned. Two, there will not be a cage and a ring would be substituted. First, we didn't know that a cage was going to be used. Second, a cage will be used. The promoter, PSE, has called me yesterday to confirm the details of the event and to reassure me that everything is intact and ready for action. A promotional campaign will begin shortly so more information will be coming. |

If you saw the Newton/Hughes fight, you knew that there was some controversy with the outcome. From what I saw, it looked like Newton was knocked out and Hughes was choked out from the triangle so it should have been ruled a no contest. Big John awarded the victory to Hughes because I don't think he knew that Hughes was out. This is the first article that addresses this subject. I would like to see the match be considered a no contest and a rematch scheduled ASAP. UFC 34: Hughes - Newton FALLOUT? |

I have gotten nothing but postive feedback concerning the Man Page. And so far, no feminazi's have tried to infiltrate my web server stronghold and take this page offline either, but we are ready for them! I have some Oprah magazines to throw at them to draw their attention, while I slip a crapload of Midol and Prozac in their food or drink. Like I said I am prepared! It you haven't checked it out yet, there is a link directly on onzuka.com's main page or by clicking here. Thanks to Harris we have the "My Rifle" mantra which will be up shortly and I am building a list of Man's greatest pickup lines. If you have some, send them over by emailing me. Please forward anything else that you think is a worthy addition to the page. I am also thinking about creating an over 18 year old section, no porn please, as the feminazi's that are married to my webhosting service has prohibited posting that. I will, however, be available to review it personally, if you MUST send it (I am being sarcastic for you slow people, keep sending! keep sending!). And we will also be able to send it to you in order to get a second opinion from you about it, if asked. Stay strong, my brothers! |

MGM Grand, Las Vegas, NV November 2, 2001 Frank Mir def. Roberto Traven: Tap out due to armbar at 1:05min in round 1 This ain't BJJ or Sub Grappling, this is NHB. That's why a purple belt with a 35lbs weight advantage, but more importantly very good hands, can arm bar a BJJ black belt and Abu Dhabi Absolute Champ. Matt Lindland def. Phil Baroni Majority decision after 3 rounds Lindland took it to Baroni, but Baroni showed a lot of heart and stunned Lindland a couple times. After watching the tape, Lindland had to be thinking, "note to self, DO NOT kick in NHB fight." Evan Tanner def. Homer Moore Tap out due to arm bar at 0:55 seconds of round 2 Tanner comes back in impressive fashion. Moore did a good job of stripping Tanner of his most effective weapon, his knees. Moore would catch the first or second knee and take Tanner down. Moore must have forgot that Tanner has a nice arm bar from the guard. Josh Barnett def. Bobby Hoffman Tap out due to punches, 4:25 R2 Hoffman looked reserved, not the animal he is normally. Barnett always looks impressive and this was no exception. If you want to learn how to effectively strike from the ground, check out Josh. He has some sweet setups. If Barnett doesn't fight Couture next, Rodrigues-Barnett would be a barn burner. BJ Penn def. Caol Uno KO due to punches, 0:11 R1 Uno does a leaping kick that misses. Penn connects with a left and a right that knock's Uno out, pushes him down and unloads until the ref stops it. That was every detail in the fight. This was the most anticipated match and ended the quickest. BJ's kicking ass and he better hire someone to take names. And that person better be a fast typist too. I think Pulver can stand with Penn, but after the Hallman fight, Penn always has the option to submit him. I see the future...and BJ Penn will be the UFC Lightweight Champ. Ricco Rodriguez def. Pete Williams Ref stoppage due to punches, 4:02 R2 Ricco looked impressive and basically took it to Williams. Williams didn't stand a chance. Pretty impressive. UFC Middleweight Championship Match: Matt Hughes def. Carlos Newton KO due to slam while inside triangle at 1:27 minutes of round 2. Newton gets Hughes in triangle. Hughes picked up Newton and slammed him to the ground, knocking the bootilicious Newton out (you had to see Newton's intro). Hughes passed out momentarily from triangle right after slam and had to be told that he won by Jeremy Horn. Hughes revenges Miletich's loss and becomes new champ. UFC Heavyweight Championship Match: Randy Couture def. Pedro Rizzo Ref stoppage due to punches in 1:38 minutes of round 3. Couture retains belt in convincing fashion. Rizzo looked reserved and unmotivated. Grappling boys out there (myself included), we got to study Couture's style. It works!

SuperBrawl XXII: United We Stand Blaisdell Arena, Honolulu, Hawaii November 3, 2001 By Chris Onzuka - Chris@Onzuka.com  [Daddy like, daddy like...growl! Oh and Egan & his belt are nice too] I am not sure if it was the "United We Stand" title or fighters on the card that brought out the crowd, but Las Vegas was definitely not the only place rocking. While the UFC was being held in Las Vegas, the Blaisdell Arena was rumbling back in Hawaii with a sizable crowd on hand. The night was filled with great fights. In just about every fight the tide turned at least a couple times as to which fighter was in control of the match. Not one of the matches would go to a decision and referees; Haru Shiminishi and Steve English would be working hard on every one of the contests. A couple of the fights that stood out had to be the war between Eddie Yagin and Ryan Diaz. Diaz had Yagin in trouble early and almost finished the fight, but Yagin showed a ton of heart and came back and KO'd Diaz laying him out for a while. The women also came to fight. Beta Yeung showed that going back to the gym and focusing on her unsuccessful debut really paid off when she arm barred Sarah Finaseth in under 30 seconds, causing the crowd to go into a frenzy. And last, but not least, Egan Inoue took apart Joe Doerkson in impressive fashion. Inoue wanted to prove that not only should he be in the middleweight top 10 rankings, but he should be the next one in line to challenge the newly crowned, Dave Menne for his UFC middleweight championship belt. Only time will tell, but T. Jay Thompson's Super Brawl has always been a hotbed for new talent that makes it to the UFC. In fact, UFC 34's fight card consisted of five fighters that were featured in Super Brawl at one time or another. I hear that Thompson has a contact by the name of Tommy Dakota that can get people noticed…[sorry, inside joke]. If you haven't subscribed to Full Contact Fighter, what are you waiting for? The compete fight descriptions will be in the next issue!   Ikaika Tiger (Team Tiger, 1-0) def. Jay R. Palmer (Universal Roughhouse, 20-13) TKO via Palmer's corner threw in the towel at 2:32 minutes in Round 2. 170lbs 2x5 minute rounds Kolo Koka (Grappling Unlimited, 2-1) def. Deshaun Johnson (HMC, 0-1) TKO via referee stoppage due to Johnson not defending himself at 2:21minutes in Round 2. 145lbs 3x5 minute rounds Eddie Yagin (Grappling Unlimited, 4-0) def. Ryan Diaz (Gibson Pankration/AMC, Seattle, 8-4) KO via punch at 1:55 minutes in Round 2.   Jose "The Outlaw" Lopez (Shark Tank, 3-0-1) def. Lincoln Tyler (Freelance 5-2) TKO via referee stoppage due to strikes at 2:23 minutes in Round 3. Beta Yeung (HMC, 1-1) def.

Usually, it starts at 4:00 pm. You may want to keep an eye on 76 about 4 pm just in case. Set your VCR's and head down to the Blaisdell for Super Brawl. You can always watch the UFC and live action is always better than seeing it on TV. The UFC always has solid cards since Zuffa took over and this card is no different. The weigh-in's were covered on the FCF website.

Super Brawl XXII "United We Stand!" Press Conference/Weigh-In November 1, 2001 By Michael Onzuka Mike@onzuka.com
Of these three fighters, the one that has been generating the most talk by far is the monster from Ewa (pronounced Eva) Beach and semi-main event fighter, Miles Tynanes. Tynanes is known as a heavy hitter by the locals in a tough area of Oahu. He trains out of Marcelo Tigre's gym so his animal instincts are probably being well encouraged and enhanced. During the interview session of the press conference, Tynanes did not seem to respect Cabbage Correira's punching power, nor his grappling ability. He claims to be comfortable in all positions, both on the ground and standing. Cabbage is a man of hard left hooks, but little words and just encouraged everyone to be there to see two big guys throwing some big punches and to watch a great fight. With the expansion of mixed martial arts, it is only a matter of time before we see more women competing. This card includes a special rematch of local fighter, Betta Yeung trained by HMC instructor Haru Shimanishi trying to avenge her debut loss against Shimanishi's partner Matt Hume's (of AMC) Sarah "The Finisher" Finaseth. The fans are in for a treat because both women look fit and mean (kind of the same face I get when I deny shopping to my wife and believe me, that's mean!). Local favorite and University of Hawaii football standout, Falaniko Vitale returns to the ring at a lighter weight of 190 lbs against the veteran, John "The Saint" Renken. The fight was originally set at 185 lbs, but both fighters exceeded the weight limit and a newly constructed weight was agreed upon. Vitale looks ready for the big time and Renken may just be a stepping stone until Vitale gets his hands on a ranked opponent. "The Saint" will utilize his experience and try to upset the local fighter and show him that he is not ready for huge fights, not just yet. Hawaii's Egan Inoue has his eyes set for a birth in the UFC, but he first has to beat some ranked fighters to prove to Zuffa that he is UFC material. Canada's Joe Doerkson brings a 19-2 record, most if not all by submission, to Hawaii to try to push Egan aside and enter the Octagon himself. This could be a make or break fight for both fighters. Super Brawl has a very extensive history of catapulting fighters to the highest level of competition such as Vitor Belfort, Heath Herring, Rico Rodriguez, Josh Barnet, Bobby Hoffman, to name a few and these two could be the next. With Inoue being a two-time Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Champion and submission grappling medalist, Doerkson's submission based fight game will be put to the test, but they don't hand out number 10 rankings if he cannot handle himself. This fight looks to be a technical ground battle, but it may be determined by the fighter that dominates the stand up part of the game. A couple high intensity and fast paced light weight matches featuring some exciting fighters will lead the way to the four fights previewed above. The card looks solid enough to pull fans away from pay-per-view and the UFC on the same night to see some live action. With the fighters weighed in and the cards confirmed, each fighter will try to steal the limelight of the fight hungry Hawaii fans. The fans here are getting educated about MMA extremely fast and will see a good mix of good old fashion brawling and a lot of technique. With the recent addition of local television replays of the event, Super Brawl is expected to grow in attendance and spread MMA to a wider fan base. "United We Stand!"
