Fight Science Proves MMA Fighters are the Best Conditioned and Toughest Athletes in the World

Last night I watched the show, Fight Science on the National Geographic Channel and it covered the sport of mixed martial arts. It features fighters Randy Couture, Tito Ortiz, Dean Lister and Bas Rutten.

Using sensors and sophisticated computer equipment scientists showed data that helped explained the biomechanics and athletic physiology of several mma moves, such as the Muay Thai kick, punch, rear naked choke, arm bar and guillotine choke. If you're a mixed martial arts fan, this is a must see.

Check out a few video clips of Fight Science at the National Geographic website.

UFC 80: Blood Spurt

Pretty graphic depiction of what went down at UFC 80 over the weekend. BJ Penn defeats Joe Stevenson to win the UFC lightweight title via rear naked choke. It looks like something out of a cheesy splatter flick, but notice the blood spurting out of Joe Stevenson's head.

Tito Ortiz Defeats Gene Simmons

I like the world of business and enjoy watching MMA, so it was natural for me to watch Celebrity Apprentice featuring real estate mogul, Donald Trump and UFC fighter, Tito Ortiz.

I've enjoyed watching past seasons of The Apprentice. Aside from the drama, it's an excellent show on business practices. It's educational and entertaining.

In the third week, Tito was selected as project manager. His team performed very well even though I didn't see Tito delegate much. Still, it appeared there was more cohesiveness and teamwork on the men's side. The task revolved around a marketing campaign for Kodak's printer and ink. Despite a major setback, team Hydra (men's team) overcame adversity and implemented a solid backup plan. And though Gene Simmons went over to lead Team Empresario (women's team), this move ultimately backfired. Simmons's huge ego proved to be a liability rather than an asset.

The fact that Tito led his team to victory will be good exposure for the UFC. It also helps dispel the stereotype that MMA fighters are brutish thugs and instead are intelligent athletes.

You can watch entire episodes of The Celebrity Apprentice by visiting the NBC website.

Can TUF Compete With UFC Fighters?

Many mma fans discredit fighters from the Ultimate Fighter reality show and feel that TUF fighters would not fare well against the more experienced, seasoned veterans of the UFC. However, last year former TUF cast members, Forrest Griffin and Keith Jardine beat two of the greatest fighters in MMA at the "UFC 76: Knockout" event. Jardine defeated Liddell by split decision while Griffin submitted Rua with a rear naked choke.

Both Forrest and Keith have come back from losses in stellar fashion. In fact Keith TKO'd Forrest back in UFC 66 and it would make for an intriguing rematch.

Right now the light heavyweight division is crowded with talented fighters. Forrest Griffin will take center stage alongside Quinton Jackson in the next season of The Ultimate Fighter reality show and the two will meet in the octagon later this year. It's possible Jardine may fight in May. Opponent TBA.

How Hidden Cameras Can Safeguard Your Home

More and more people today use hidden cameras as part of their home security system. They are simple to set up and recommended by many law enforcement agencies. There are two kinds of hidden cameras; wired and wireless. Wired hidden cameras are connected to either a TV, VCR, or DVR, while the wireless variety transmits video signals to a receiver within a radius of a few hundred feet.

Hidden cameras can serve as a set of vigilant eyes when you're not home. You may have seen horrible news stories of a nanny who is caught on video abusing a baby. Fortunately they were detected by a hidden camera. The video footage also serves as police evidence.

Hidden cameras come in many clever disguises such as Clock Radios, Air Purifiers, Desk Lamps, Picture Frames, Computer Speakers, Boom Boxes, and Household Plants. There are also hidden cameras that are activated by detecting motion. These can be handy to have near a garage entrance or side door.

The 2 minute video below shows how hidden cameras can be used to safe guard your home.
