Touted to have similar nutritional components as real blood, Blood Energy Potion would be ideal for the bloodthirsty UFC lightweight champ BJ Penn. Because when you train as hard as he does, you need a hard energy drink. Do I smell a sponsorship opportunity?

As I’m transitioning to full time BJJ to a little bit of MMA, I’m realizing that my instinct to flop onto my back is now a liability especially when going against wrestlers. When striking is in the picture, the guard game is risky. Good wrestlers can make you feel like this:

A mental note has been made to aggressively try to maintain top control and try and reprogram myself not to pull guard. This realization has also made me think about what I would do in a street situation. Would I automatically play guard if someone tried to go for a takedown? I’d rather not find out.

Machida’s got nothin on this guy.
