Whoa, that's Richard Chou. Imagine, somewhere around 8-10 years ago, I did Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Yes, me. Hard to believe, right? It was early in the UFC thing, and I wanted to learn about how everything related to submissions, joint manipulations, etc, worked. How does it? I went to Rickson Gracie Jiu Jitsu and it was crowded.

Dirty Hands wins, and here's the video from the speech and so on. You can also catch a trailer from the film and David Choe's message. How proud am I? After the event was over, there was a photo shoot on the stage. Harry's talking to a girl that Maxim put in their top 100. Harry "Horny" Kim. He's the man.
