Ronda Rousey First UFC women champion











This is a history in the making that will be opening doors for women in the world of MMA(mixed martial arts) that is exclusive for men. Now, this had changed the phase of the sport. UFC 157, the fighters that are headlined for this are Lyoto Machida against Dan Henderson. The awaited fight is Ronda Rousey against Liz Carmouche which was won by Ronda Rousey under women's bantamweight. A lot of UFC fan waited for this match up worldwide and now she is in the line with the likes Royce Gracie(1st UFC champion) and the legends. The first UFC women champion and I praise her for that accomplishment.

 Liz Carmouche a former member of the US Marine corps who served 5 years at Iraq. She entered the octagon with the background music "Satisfaction- Benny Benassi ". The aura was fierce some and Marine braveness with it. Ronda Rousey a Lady Judo Black belt and practitioner of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu got out wearing a hoodie and white Monster beats by Dr.Dre which up to now , i think is a lucky charm. She is with Gene LeBell a Legend in the Judo world back in the 70's.

The fight lasted 1 round at first both fighters take turn at striking and going for the clinch. After a while, Carmouche got Rousey on a rear naked choke, that seems to finish the game but Rousey got out of the position. After, that both got back at their feet then got back to the ground. The ground game got exciting because both fighters shows good technical Jiu-Jitsu skills. Rousey got into a position that is called an Armbar that gave her the championship. This made me jumping out of my seat. 

 I hope with this breakthrough, female in society can be opened to opportunities that is limited to man. I will be watching out for future women fighters who will be fighting in the Octagon. A great fight and historic that will be remembered in MMA history.

Saber Marionette J; ending song : I'll be there by Megumi Hayashibara

Back in the 90's here in Manila. The Japanese Anime craze was all over. The anime at those time are Ghost fighter, Dragon Ball Z and etc. There is this one anime that I like. Its "Saber Marionette J". Its about a planet were all ladies are Marionette(Robot kind of human) due to an intergalactic accident in space that left them with one girl surviving. They got genes from the girl and from there came the Marionette frame work for that planet.Its a great anime with good storyline and also the soundtrack. I like a specific song from it that was sung by Megumi Hayashibara. The title is I'll be there. I don't speak Japanese nor understand the language but hearing this song a hundred times. There is a certain feeling that i felt, an excitement in which Japanese pop(J-Pop) have in its element. I searched for the lyrics online and found out an English Translation for it.

Hinahanap ng puso by Gloc 9

Gloc 9 is fresh from coming out of the Gangsta Rap scene of the late 90's. He emerges from an aggressive rapper into a ballader rapper that the Filipinos masses accepted his songs with open arms back in the early 2000's. This song " Hinahanap ng Puso " is not a one hit wonder but it paved way for this rapper to have his own commercial break. After that, one song to the other opened the doors for Gloc 9 that until now is a household name.
