On Saturday, August 15, 2009, history will be made. Santos vs. Carano. Two female MMA fighters headlining the show. All the other fighters are male. That's big. Will you be watching?

If the female fighters of POP are the Princesses of Pain, then Belinda Dunne is their Queen.

Recently I had the opportunity to speak with Belinda Dunne, director of Princesses of Pain (POP), an international women's fight league, featuring the combative sports of MMA and Kickboxing. Located in beautiful New Zealand, POP was the first ever women's MMA to be held in that country. Working hard, and with the support of friends and her fighters, Belinda Dunne has paved the way for the promotion of women's fighting. Already taking New Zealand by storm, in 2008 Belinda also sponsored an all-female fight card between her team and a team of female fighters from the U.S. She now wants to continue that success and bring Women's MMA to an International level.

Tuff-N-Uff Presents: "Future Stars of MMA" August 22nd, Las Vegas.

Las Vegas, Nevada (July 24, 2009) –Up-and-coming MMA Star, Ryan Couture, son of “The Natural” Randy Couture, will be featured when Tuff-N-Uff, the Nation's Premiere Amateur Mixed Martial Arts Organization, returns to the ring with "The Future Stars of MMA". The event is set to go down at The Orleans Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, NV on Saturday, August 22 at 7 PM.

Like Father, like Son – Ryan Couture looks to be a natural himself at the sport his hall-of-fame father has dominated for more than a decade. Couture was triumphant in his last fight for Tuff-N-Uff, defeating Art Martinez by rear naked choke in the second round.

I'll never forget the look in my patients eyes when I had to tell them they had to go home with the drains, new exercises and no breast. I remember begging the doctors to keep these women in the hospital longer, only to hear that they would, but their hands were tied by the insurance companies.

I promised that in Part 2 of this series, I'd start actually reviewing a company, product, or service.

On April 25th, I had the opportunity to interview Chris Leo, one of the company partners at Projekt Label - and I believe this review has allowed me to delve into all three aspects, because Projekt Label provides products and services.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve always kind of been one to choose the underdog. I try to “buy local” when I can. Get my vege’s from the local farmer’s stand out on the highway. That sort of thing. Pretty easy to figure out how to buy from those guys, I mean they’re right there. And when it comes to purchasing MMA products, gear or services, I try to be just as choosy. When it comes to the fancy, slick MMA products out there today, however, it’s kind of hard to figure out who the underdog is and who you can trust. Like how can you tell who’s out there strictly to slide in the ring for a quick buck and get out before wasting any energy…and who’s sincere? In my opinion, there’s only one way – get to know the people behind the product or service, then test it out. I did that with the fellows over at Projekt Label.

Who’s Projekt Label and what do they do? Well, they sponsor their fighters through product sales, like T-shirts and MMA gear. Each fighter gets to design their own stuff, with help from the experts at the company, if requested. The fighter can even sell their own stuff to raise funds to help pay expenses. Pretty cool idea.
