Celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain won gold at his first ever BJJ tournament.
Anthony Bourdain may be known for his cooking, but he recently showed off his chops on his other passion, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The celebrity chef joined his first BJJ tournament as a blue belt, and he faired well, taking gold at the IBJJF New York Spring International Open Championship.
Bourdain, who earned his BJJ blue belt in 2015, competed at the Masters 5 Middleweight Division and took home gold at the tournament.

Manny Pacquiao defeated Timothy Bradley again. Watch highlights from the contest here.
Manny Pacquiao’s third contest against Timothy Bradley, for the most part, looked much like the first two as the Filipino constantly outboxed his foe. This time though, Pacquiao was able to score with two knockdowns in the contest billed as his final bout. Watch highlights above courtesy of ESPN, and check out a snippet from our fight recap of the 12-round contest below:
Bradley did indeed come in as more of a boxer, showing patience in the opening rounds. Ironically, it was when he started opening up in exchanges and becoming more like the “old” Timothy Bradley that he had his moments of success. Still, as we have seen all along, even when Bradley connected, he could not do enough damage to hurt Pacquiao, though he did have one moment where he forced Pacquiao to clinch – Bradley’s biggest moment in the series of fights.
The other big change here was Pacquiao’s ability to really hurt Bradley, as Bradley hit the canvas twice in this fight. After no knockdown in the first two fights, Pacquiao was able to twice in the middle of the fight tonight land big shots that put Bradley down, first with more of a balance shot on the inside, and then with a big left hand.
Because Timothy Bradley is Timothy Bradley, he never gave up, and was going for the KO until the final bell, but he never quite made it happen.
Georges St-Pierre loves paleontology and the former UFC champ now gets a TV show on the History Channel about it.
Back in 2010, Georges St-Pierre revealed his passion for paleontology. Unlike most athletes, the long time UFC welterweight champion said that he doesn’t watch sports during his free time. Instead, he spends it reading books or going to museums to learn more about dinosaurs and the like.
“Ask me a question about the Jurassic period or the Cretaceous period and I probably could answer it. Seriously, I’m into paleontology. That’s the study of prehistoric life,” he revealed. “You know that the Tyrannosaurus Rex was found with feathers? Yes, feathers!”
“When I train, I love to take time off and fly to the Natural History Museum or an exhibition. I just love that,” he said. “That’s why most of my friends are not fighters. Most of my friends are nerds like me. That’s why I have a hard time finding a girlfriend. I need someone to talk science with.”
“I’m married to my work right now. But you never know. One day I could wake up and just do something different. Life is so unpredictable.”
Fast forward to 2016, and it looks like St-Pierre has gotten what he wanted, as he used this break from MMA to pursue his lifelong dream. This April, the History Channel in Canada will release a minimum of two half-hour specials called “The Boneyard, with Georges St-Pierre“.
The show will have the MMA star traveling around the world in search of these prehistoric beasts, all in the name of science. (HT: Fox Sports)
St-Pierre’s adventures in the first two episodes will see him head over to Patagonia, Argentina to “hunt for the largest creatures to ever walk the earth – and the vicious beasts that dared to prey on them”, to a “top secret triceratops burial ground” in the South Dakota badlands, and to the swamps of Alabama to come “face-to-face with a living dinosaur”.
The episodes air on April 14, at 9 and 9:30 am ET, with repeat airings happening throughout the week.

Get punched, learn takedowns. Check out these new Bloody Elbow Shirts and Hoodies.
The most decorated panicked wrestlers in the nation compete for divisional supremacy every year. With these new shirts and hoodies, you now have a chance to represent the prestigious tournament on what has been long considered one of the core disciplines in MMA.
Panicked wrestlers start learning this lifelong discipline at a tender age of 18, when they can first legally join face punching as your prototypical striker. It’s not easy learning takedowns after getting cracked in the head, but that kind of dedication is exactly what is needed to truly excel in this sport.
It’s a tall task, but often times, it doesn’t take much to trigger an evolution on their game. On certain cases, it may even just take a stockton slap or two…

Nate Diaz spoke about spoiling the potential Georges St-Pierre vs Conor McGregor super-fight by winning at UFC 196.
Chael Sonnen recently had Nate Diaz on his podcast, and one of the topics brought up was Georges St-Pierre being in attendance at UFC 196, and the rumors of him calling out Conor McGregor had he won the contest. Diaz of course ended up with the victory despite coming in on very short notice, and he spoke about spoiling those plans.
“Oh yeah, I f*cked that show up. I put a bigger hole on that shit,” Diaz said, prompting Sonnen to burst out laughing. “What did you guys think, I’m some f*cking game to be played with? I’ve been on this game for too long to be f*cked with!”
“When I left the next day, I knew what was going on. They had GSP there, and want to have this big ‘GSP-McGregor show’ bullshit, I don’t want to even to hear about that.”
“GSP is going to come out of f*cking retirement to fight this little ass Conor McGregor? What the f*ck? This is all just a freakshow now!”
“So now what did I do,” Diaz said about winning the short notice fight. “Now I pissed off Conor McGregor, I pissed off GSP, and most of all, I pissed off the UFC… but LOL, motherf*ckers!”
“He thought he would come back and make this big old ‘Congratulations, Georges St-Pierre is coming back’ show, but get the f*ck out of here,” he said. “You think this kid was coming to beat me. I spoiled your shit. That’s what you get, motherf*cker, for trying to steal the show and make this about you. I spoiled everybody’s (plans).”
Despite this being the first ever UFC event he attended after leaving MMA, St-Pierre said that he simply wanted to attend a card and have fun with his friends. Diaz doesn’t really buy it.
“Georges is full of shit, they’re all full of shit,” Diaz said about St-Pierre playing coy. “He was like ‘that’s not what I was there for!'”
“I want to be the first one to speak up. You’re a f*cking bully! You know you’re going to hold that little ass Irishman down! You’re going to hop in and take this money fight, coming back… like what the f*ck? Get your ass (someone) on your weight class!” he said. “McGregor is out of line too, trying to fight big ass people.”
“If McGregor would’ve won and they put that fight against GSP, everyone would’ve been saying it’s the greatest fight of all time. But it’s not… It’s ridiculous. It’s a freakshow.”
“I’d take it because definitely that’s going to sell tickets, but Georges, you’re not some super f*cking human badass for coming back fighting a rookie ass 20-fight Conor McGregor,” he said. “You’ve got all these fights in the UFC, come back and fight on something competitive.”
“It was just a good business move for everybody’s part.”
The UFC decided to rematch Diaz and McGregor at UFC 200, and for those with tinfoil hats on, this could be the chance to finally ‘get it right’.
Jose Aldo accused Conor McGregor of taking PED’s, and says he hides until fight week in Las Vegas so he can pass drug tests.
While Jose Aldo is set to rematch Frankie Edgar for the interim featherweight title at UFC 200, he is continuing his somewhat uncharacteristic smack talk towards Conor McGregor. On this latest bit, Aldo accused his former opponent of doping (again).
According to him, McGregor was juicing prior to UFC 196, when he was offered a late notice rematch.
“The fight was not at featherweight. Why would I rematch him in a different weight class with no belt?” Aldo told the assembled media as translated by MMA Fighting. “Now, to make this fight at 155, where he was full of juice in his body, where he hides and nobody tests him, only when he gets to Las Vegas, a week before the fight, and then it’s way easier for you to clean the body and fight. They offered the fight knowing that I wasn’t trained at all.”
Aldo also went on to predict that Diaz will beat McGregor again on their rematch, and that maybe a second loss in a row forces him back down to featherweight.
“He will come back,” Aldo said. “I don’t know if right after this fight, but he will. I don’t see how he gets too far even at lightweight. He won’t do well at lightweight either.
“Nate wins again,” he said. “He’s used to this weight. It’s really hard to move up in weight and continue winning. It’s going to be different now that Nate will be more prepared. He can do his thing, anything he wants, from start to end. He can slap him, anything, because he will win. It can be faster this time. Nate will prepare, will have enough time, and it can be faster this time.”
