Enson Inoue has some impressive accomplishments, such as being the 1st Heavyweight World Shooto Champion and submitting UFC legend Randy Couture. However, he will always be remembered for his warrior spirit. Win or lose, Enson never gives up. It’s been five years since his last match but MMA fans still remember him like he just fought yesterday.

Today, Enson trains fighters in Japan, has several schools around the world and a clothing line at Pure Bred USA. We were fortunate enough to catch up with Enson and discussed topics ranging from MMA to music. In this first part of the …

Coleman accidentally breaks Shogun’s arm. The rematch is on for UFC 93.

UFC 93 will air this Saturday, Jan. 14th at 3PM Eastern, live on PPV.  Tape delay also available at 10PM Eastern.

Rich Franklin vs. Dan Henderson
– At 205, Franklin will be way bigger than Henderson. With that said, I think that Henderson will win via KO. He’s pretty upset by the way he lost to Anderson Silva. He’s probably training like an animal, and will come out with a victory. Franklin has lost his fire ever since he got demolished by Anderson Silva, twice.
Prediction: Henderson via KO.…

Episode 2 of the hit series Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight aired Saturday morning at 11:30am on The CW.  The episode picked up shortly after the events of the first episode.  Kitt makes his “contract” with the dragon and officially becomes a kamen rider while the brooding Matt Mullins goes Emo and sneers a lot.  The fight scenes are again directed with great panache by Steve Wang.  Someone must be dropping acid before they came up with this thing.  Kamen Riders can go through mirrors or any reflective surfaces and go from our world to the world just behind those mirrors.  The …

Remember when I said that I would make my life a little harder by taking pictures in film? Well, I did. I went to the Getty Museum to see what I can get with my old Canon A-1 camera. The Getty is a nice place for photography because of the architecture and the view from above LA. I’m intrigued with black & white photography, so I used a BW film, Tmax 100 to be exact.…

Remaking Asian films (especially horror films) has become an alarming trend.  Over the last few years one crappy film after the next pops up being remade from its original form.  Some of the original Asian films weren’t exactly classics, but at least they were stylish and entertaining.  If only the same thing could be said of their American counterparts.  The trend started when the remake of the Asian smash horror film called Ringu opened in the United States as The Ring.  The Ring was a slickly made and entertaining film but it started a disastrous trend that is with us to …

Ziff-Davis announced on Jan 6th that its 1up.com site is now owned by ugo.com, while EGM’s final print will be its current January issue. EGM as of late has been sticking it up to the man. Their articles have been unbiased and has gain trust from readers, especially since the wake of the Gamespot/Jeff Gerstmann controversy and their Assassin’s Creed review that had Ubisoft running around with their heads cut off.

This is going to affect me the most because now I have nothing to read while in the crapper. Nothing says convenient like browsing through pages for upcoming games …

Yes, after months of hibernation, we’re back to bring you yet another NerdSociety video. Anime LA, our first convention of 2009, was held at the LAX Marriott. Originally we planned to host this video on Youtube, but due to the company that owns the music used in this video, we weren’t able to publish it there. Anyway, it was a lot of fun to film and I would like to thank all the sexy cosplaying ladies out there for helping us out and the guys too! And of course, a special thanks to everyone who helped with the making of …

The first con of 2009! Anime LA was held at the LAX Marriott near the LAX airport (I never understood why they chose a place near an airport and a XXX Live Nude Adult store). I was excited to attend the con because it’s our first one in a couple of months. As we were heading into the parking garage, I noticed that there were several cosplayers walking around the area. YES! This won’t be as bad as PMX. Once we’re in, we register, paid $30 per ticket and picked up our badges, took a total of 10 minutes.…

Even though I’ve been an MMA fan since the early UFC’s, I’ve never been to local show. All the MMA events I’ve attended consisted of K-1, Pride and UFC events. I found out about Long Beach Fight Night through a friend and decided to check it out. I was surprised about the great production value for a “small” show: the ring was well lit, fights continued smoothly throughout the night and everyone had a good view of the ring. What’s even more surprising was the amount of people that showed up.…

The futuristic sci-fi drama Babylon A.D. was a total flop in theatres.  It was besieged by bad buzz (some of it from the film’s own director) and received horrible reviews, but I think it’s underrated.  It was reported that director Mathieu Kossivitz’s original version was cut by 70 minutes to get down to a theatrical runtime of 93 minutes.  The result was said to be incoherent and a total mess.  The DVD version runs around 10 minutes longer and was fairly cohesive and never boring. The production values are top-notch and visually the film is often stunning. 

Babylon A.D takes place …
