Team Takeover LowKick Blog: Meeting Fedor, Genki Sudo, and a few words of wisdom
Posted on August 12, 2010, 03:51 AM by BloodstainLaneHello MMA Fans!
My name is Bloodstain Lane. Most of you may know me from my MMA Blogs over at Team Takeover's Youtube Channel. This is my first article for LowKick.com... So I hope you enjoy it.
Bloodstain has been around and has seen a ton of celebrities in NYC, and I'm never one to get star struck. I been around Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in Central Park, Walked past Lady Gaga in the Lower East Side and was literally 2 feet from Tom Cruise and Park Slope... and to be honest I didn't give a f*ck...f*ck them. But I won't lie this weekend I was star struck when I met two cult legendary MMA Icons: "The Last Emperor" Fedor Emelianenko and "The Neo Samurai" Genki Sudo. I met Genki at a Japanese Book store in Times Square and this guy just has an aura about him that's inexplainable. I felt like a better person just meeting him. He doesn't speak much English, but you can just tell what he's thinking and feeling just by being around him. Truly unique and generous person. Not only is he's a legendary MMA fighter and Philosopher, he's also the leader of an awesome J-Pop group called "World Order". I recommend everyone to check out their album.
Then on the next day I met the greatest fighter to ever walk this earth: Fedor Emelianenko. I was at the press conference for the M-1 Global Show in Atlantic City and I told him I would battle Dana White for him. He laughed and said "Thank You". Truly awesome experience. I then shook his hand and felt like it was being crushed in a vice. Fedor is the man I aspire to be: a simple mild mannered family man, who is very humble and spiritual. I met the baddest man to ever walk this earth. WOW...not too many people can say that.
-The rest of 2010 in MMA is going to suck for me, just a little bit because two of my favorite fighters and the most violent Brazilians in the world will be sidelined. COME BACK & GET WELL SOON...Wanderlei Silva & Mauricio Shogun Rua!!!
-Speaking of Shogun, There is now no doubt in my mind he would SLAUGHTER Anderson Silva if they ever met at 205. Shogun has even striking, better BJJ/Wrestling, a better chin and is just overall the better fighter. It would be similar to the 2nd Machida fight, in my opinion. This is also my personal dream fight. F*ck GSP vs Spider. GSP is way too undersized for Silva and both guys are just downright boring as of late
-Its a shame what's going on with Aleksander Emelianenko. These guys had all the making of a champion, and in my opinion still the best hands I ever seen at HW.
-Hopefully Sergei Kharitonov can revive his career in Strikeforce and can once again become the body punching, hip tossing, GNP monster we all loved in Pride.
-Takanori Gomi is BACK...F*ck what you heard. He came in great shape and landed his trademark Gomi bomb, launched straight from Kanagawa, Japan. He sent Tyson "Chicken" Griffin into the dream realm along with Mr Sandman and Freddy Kreuger. When the KO happened I went so crazy the neighbors actually called the cops on me...WAR FIREBALL KID.
-A lot of people are giving me bullshit for supporting James Toney over Randy Couture. Let's make one thing clear...I am a fan of ALL Combat Sports. Not just MMA. I've been a Toney fan for 20 years. So I'm riding with my boy. Besides, I would love to see the "White Billy Blanks" shit his pants after seeing Couture get knocked out.
-Melvin Manhoef needs a long break off.
-Marlon Sandro vs Mitchihiro Omigawa II may be fight of the year. Marlon Sandro has P4P heaviest hands in MMA, and Omigawa's boxing is top of the food chain. I can't wait for this one.
-Some Japanese MMA Fighters everyone should have their eye on: Katsunori Kikuno who is the real life Kenshiro from "Fist of the North Star". His mummy stance along with his crescent kicks and pretty good TD defense and Ground game makes him one of the most exciting fighters in MMA today. The other guy is Wicky Akiyo...He fights like a mad monkey and is extremely explosive. I'm not saying these two will be champions but damn they are fun to watch and very excellent fighters.
-Anyone who misses that old Chute Boxe Style of aggression...Look no further then Maximo Blanco and Karl Ammousou.
-Rumor on the street NyQuil has just signed GSP to an exclusive contract. He is their new poster boy.
-Anderson "Charlotte's Web" Silva has signed on for the remake of "Dirty Dancing"...He will assume Patrick Swayze's role of course.
-Greg Jackson is currently writing a book called "Greg Jackson's Idiot's Guide to putting the crowd to sleep but still being successful"
-Vadim Finklestein > Dana White...Yea I said it...f*ck your life.
-Sherdog is now known as Zuffadog
-Nippon Top Team(Aoki, Kitaoka, Imanari) shit's all over American Top Team
-People need to stop chanting "USA" every time a Japanese fighter or any other foreign fighter fights! WWII ended almost 70 years ago...MMA is a global sport. It's not the Olympics.
-Chael Sonnen has won me over. He backed up his talk and is going to be a problem for anyone at 185.
-PinkBerry is for pussies
Bloodstain Lane aka The Mel Gibson of MMA signing off. F*CK YOUR LIFE

Fyck Yeah ! This guy just say how it is !!! Straight Up.. No B-shit ! Agree with everything you said except for the Toney Vs Couture thing.
Welcome to Lowkick Lane, the Tyson Chicken comment was clever:)
Blatant hater so you have to take what he says with a large pinch of salt!! The guy won and took minimal damage while dishing out a fair share with cracked ribs?! Rua would not run through a fully fit Anderson.
The guy is funny as hell though and I like the unique way he puts his show together.
By the way, who was that little prison rat at 155 at the afterparty thing??...
I dont think Lowkick News section is for posting your life's blog. However I have to admit it is very funny.
well someone who say it like it is!
Shogun would kill Silva at 205 thats for sure!
and i agree James Toney has a chance , but im cheering for Captain America!!
the only thing i dont agree is with Tyson griffin nickname , hes not chicken at all hes a great fighter! but Gomi is Back!!!!
1. who wears sunglasses indoors?
2. who still has a catchphrase?
3. jersey shore reject
The article was funny but you OMR.... you had me cracking up sir. Sunglasses indoors is definitely not cool hahaha.
-People need to stop chanting "USA" every time a Japanese fighter or any other foreign fighter fights! WWII ended almost 70 years ago...MMA is a global sport. It's not the Olympics.
loooool i agree, i like this dude
I don't think it's about WW2 anymore. It's just the US fans displaying their pride. Think about when Ireland played England in Croke park in Six Flags tournament, remeber that crowd singing the Rugy Anthem? Just like people cheering GSP in Canada or Bisping in UK. Nothing wrong with Americans loving their fellow country men.
Americans chant USA against Americans. I've seen that in politic not too long ago.
Trynna be a ganster, LOL!
I can't beleive I like and dislike the same fighters this guy do!!!
**** **** ****, this guy is the dana white of mma shit
He seems to be a mix of tito , dana white and woody woodpecker.
This guy doesn't seem much different than most of us in our opinions or knowledge so I don't care if stays or goes. This whole post was just like any other day on LowKick argueing about stuff. He's colorful but I don't really care about seeing his opinion more than any of the other people on this site. Just how I feel.
Lol, I am not going to agree or disagree on all the other stuff you said, but you are spot on about a lot of the things he says being similar to many of the comments I see on LowKick daily.
I agree..I think i saw some nut gargling at the top of the posts!
I know I have been weaked but it's just he doesn't bring anymore to the table than what we already have. No offence to him as if he decides to be a mainstay then fine but it doesn't add or takeaway anything already here. He's another name another face to me.
It is what it is. Being weaked sometimes means that you just made some valid points. It only depends on who's reading your comments.
getting weaked is the best part about this website :D
You the man Bloodstain, I remember seeing your video after Fedor lost and agreed 100% with you that anderson silva is a dancer and that GSP is a sleeping pill.. Fedor p4p!
Hope to see you post more on here
I love how @ 2:15, Fedor laughs in response to the Dana White comment and then everyone else laughs. It's like he's the Don of the Russian mob and everyone else's reaction is based off of his.
Hahaha! I would follow him religiously.
nice man, real good read. glad to see somebody stick to their guns 100 percent
heheh this guy is an eminem wanna be but he certainly knows the mma game. really luv the grag jackson bit cos its so true
Funny article even though I disagree with a lot of the things he said.
I would say I agree with most of what you said, but your attitude and some of the things you say are annoying as hell.
this dudeee and his acccentt lmaoo reminds me of home. am i gonna see you in boston on the 28th??
just saw some of his youtube stuff lol this guy really hates the UFC lol he uses the clever teerm " zuffa zombies" ahahaa
this fu*king kid is so annoying. go away!
-Greg Jackson is currently writing a book called "Greg Jackson's Idiot's Guide to putting the crowd to sleep but still being successful"
funny stuff
Definitely funny.
and i agree that Kikuno and Wicky are really exciting to watch and never a bore
w/e all you guys probably watched the whole vid too right, yeah he's brash, but keeps you all interested. So what if he's straight from the hip kinda guy..
i seen a few of his vids b4 and like them, F*uK your life
Some people might be hating on you right off the bat, but loved this article. If this was in blogkick you would definitely get 100 points for this. It was a nice read compared to the stuff we usually get from the blogkick competition.
And wtf? You know what Fist of the North Star is? Man that anime was the shit! Favorited just because you know who the f*** Kenshiro is =)
I am not hating on him but he is not much of an act to me. I would get bored quickly and probably annoyed not at his accent or anything just that he's no more star material in my eyes than anyone else on this site. To me it's a bit of glorification of the same old same old. I hope he joins just so we have more people to interact with but he won't be on any autograph wish list of mine thats all.
Lmfao.
If you are not hating on him then no need to respond to my comment.
just giving an example of how some may feel. Wasn't sure if you thought I was.
Whats with all the GSP bashing? So he had some decisions, so what! His last six wins, He finished 3 of them, and one of his decisions he pulled his groin halfway through the fight.
Now compare that to Chael Sonnen, who everybody seems to be gettin all cuddly with...he has had 5 straight decisions.
Oh and WHITEDANA...you told moots that your comment wasnt meant for him to read, lol this is a forum for everybody to read. Duh
I appreciate any video posted concerning MMA. However, I must say, this guy admires Fedor, yet he learned nothing from him...
lol
