On Sunday, April 23, 2006 the second “Best of the West No-Gi Submission Grappling Championships” took place in the Hall of Champions at Long Beach City College in Long Beach, California.
The event was extremely well organized and ran very smoothly by the joint efforts of OnTheMat.com and GrapplingTournaments.com. The event also gained a lot of support from some of the best sponsors in Mixed Martial Arts, including the OTM Fight Shop, OnTheMat.com, TapouT, Sinister, Gameness, Bad Boy, DaHui, Rockstar, and Rated’s GrapplingRatings.com.
The twelve referees for the event were all jiu-jitsu experts certified and experienced in the rules of both jiu-jitsu and submission grappling. Their were over 600 men, women, and children from all over the world competing at every level from beginner to advanced and the super fight headlining the main event featured Gracie Jiu-Jitsu black belt Ryron Gracie and Migliarese black belt Rick Macauley.
Both fighters are young, well-liked, jiu-jitsu studs that I expect will be seeing a lot of each other in the years to come. Okay so leading into the Best of the West, everyone was anticipating the Rick Macauley vs. Ryron Gracie showdown.
In one corner, there was Rick Macauley. Over the last few years one would be hard pressed to find a more active, exciting, and innovative fighter in the grappling game. In 2005 alone, Rick had over 75 fights, competed at the ADCC trials, and has beaten some of the world's most elite submission experts. It's great to see how fast and dangerous his game has progressed in the past few years.
In the other corner, there was Ryron Gracie. Son of Rorion, grandson of Helio, and the current torchbearer of the legendary............. CLICK READ MORE BELOW...

| Passing the Guard brings MMA Action to Television |

For the past year, residents of the Los Angeles and surrounding areas have been treated to Mixed Martial Arts action as a part of their regular Saturday evening programming. In April of 2004, Ed Soares and Jorge Guimaraes introduced Passing the Guard to new audiences in the United States. Originally broadcast in Brazil, Passing the Guard brings to local television what most fans of MMA only get to read about on websites and magazines. Passing the Guard is the first television show in the United States dedicated to covering the sport of MMA and getting the behind the scenes to areas rarely seen by fans.
With its viewer ship reaching exponential growth and its new season being newly broadcast in Hawaii, Passing the Guard is quickly establishing itself as a respected news source. We caught up with Ed Soares the producer of Passing the Guard to get the details on his television show.
How did Passing the Guard gets started in the U.S.?
I went over to Japan with Chuck Liddell when he fought Quinton Jackson in the 2003 Pride Grand Prix. While I was there, I ran into Jorge Guimaraes, who I’ve known for a long time. While I was there Jorge told me about this MMA show that he was producing, and he invited me to film while he conducted interviews. At the time the show was only being broadcast in Brazil. I asked him who was doing the interviews in the U.S. and he told me that he was not able to do interviews in the U.S. due to his budget. I thought that this was an incredible opportunity to bring this unique show, which was a first of its kind to a U.S. audience. A couple of months later, Jorge and I began filming the first of the episodes that would premiere here in the U.S. Passing the Guard made its official debut in the U.S. KDOC-TV in April of 2004.
