Welcome to Beston's No Holds Barred! The page was originally known as Thingvold's No Holds Barred. It was started years ago by Shogun of Harlem as a joke in dedication of the Internet's greatest 'Trash Talker', Shaun Andrew Thingvold, then years later the site was rededicated to Australian MMA legend Luke Beston. I want to make it clear that the only affiliation Shaun has with this page is when he sends us an e-mail or posts on the forum. If you are looking for him then leave a message for him on the 'Message Board'. Other than that we can not help you in any attempt to get a hold of him.

The news provided here is a little different. There are tons of news sources on the internet and if you don't know where to go then check out our links page. What we attempt to bring here is stuff that is not found at other places, but what we think might be interesting for Martial Art fans (and a little funny). Thanks for supporting us!

Here is a 'No Holds Barred' Biography of the legend, Shaun Andrew Thingvold. Read how this man became the greatest legend on the internet. Click Here

The Predator interview 

On the eve of his fight with Useless, Jon "The Predator" Levenson has granted Beston's Forum with an interview.

Beston's: You're taking this match on short notice. Will that be a problem?
Predator: No. I train 6 hours a day. With the intensity of my training, you could almost say that practice is harder than matches. Arizona is to nhb what Philadelphia is to boxing.
Beston's: How old were you when you started trainig?
Predator: Six. I started playing t-ball and I struck out. I got mad and charged the mound and started a fight with the pitcher. I was imitating what I saw on tv. That's when my parents enrolled me in Tae Kwon Do.
Beston's: So your initial trainig was in traditional Tae Kwon Do. When did you start wrestling?
Predator: Well I saw the original UFC and it made me rethink everthing I thought I knew about fighting. So I ditched TKD and concetrated on wrestling throughout high school where I won numerous tournaments. Nowadays my focus is pankration and Arizona cage fighting.
Beston's: Talk to us about being Jewish and facing anti semitism, especially in regards to being a fighter.
Predator: Well, there's lots of racism and anti-semitism in Arizona. I had rocks thrown at me in practice several times and I was called names. I got angry one day and pummeled one of the kids and that seemed to stop it. That's when I started to think I could fight professionally like I do now.
Beston's: So was your time as a high school wrestler a difficult time for you?
Predator: No, once I got my respect it was a lot of fun. First of all I was learning how to grapple which interested me and there was also a lot of fun in general. Hazing and things like that.
Beston's: What kind of hazing did they do at your high school?
Predator: Oh you know, typical stuff - tea bagging, 5 on 2's, cucumber up the butt. The thing is you only have to go through it once and then you have 3 years to have dishing it out.
Beston's: You've recently left the Underground/Otherground. Care to comment?
Predator: Well, I just feel the place has gone downhill since Machine May left. You try and have a serious conversation as a fighter, a warrior, and people don't know where you're coming from. They want to talk about shaving their balls and crap. What the hell is that?
Beston's: What about the forum "hotties" like Annabelle?
Predator: With all respect that girl's not up to my usual standard. Besides, what would I do with a 16 year old stepson? Lol. Seriously, some of the girls there aren't bad, but I'm a pro fighter. My standards are a little higher. Like Mike Tyson, when I walk out of the cage victorious, a lot of women want to be with me.
Beston's: Finally, what is your prediction for the fight?
Predator: If he's not licking my balls in under a minute, he wins.
