Some interesting stuff if you're into that kind of thing.

I assume it's probably not something aviation personnel can get cleared to do, but I didn't even know it existed.

Apparently another one happening soon at Pendleton.

We're always looking for a few good ODOs... :icon_roll

It's a hybrid wrestling, full on Pancrase is open handed strikes, kicks, etc, plus grappling. It's a tough sport, not as violent as UFC or vale tudo, but still a pretty demanding sport.

Yeah, I think this is the version they were trying to get into the Olympics.

But the rules seem to favor wrestlers...which is why it keeps going to the ground.

Some of those guys didn't even bother trying to cover that they were gonna shoot in.
