No Holds Barred: Fabio Holanda on Canadian Trials for Abu Dhabi World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Cup 


On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman speaks with Fabio Holanda about the Canadian North American qualifiers for the Abu Dhabi World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Cup 2010.

The Canadian North American qualifiers will take place this Saturday, March 6, at the Pierre-Charbonneau Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It will feature competitors from all across North America, and is scheduled to start at 11 AM. For those unable to attend the live event, there will be a free webcast of it. All the information about the live event and the webcast can be found on the event's web site, at http://www.abudhabipro.ca.

The Abu Dhabi World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Cup 2010 will be held April 15-17 in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.

We also begin the show with a commentary on the implications for the combat sports of the huge television audiences which watched the Canada-U.S. Olympic gold medal hockey game this past Sunday. Unlike the NHL, Olympic hockey does not allow fighting. We also comment on the entrance into mixed martial arts of a growing number of long past-their-prime athletes from other sports, including Herschel Walker from American football, Jose Canseco from baseball, and now James Toney from boxing, and what that says about how mixed martial arts is positioned and promoted.

The No Holds Barred theme song is called "The Heist", by Ian Carpenter.
