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

Machine May Cronie Attempts To Gain Friends At Fightsport  

Many people may have forgotten this, but the scrub who posts under the screen name "Zero Horizon" was once a close cyber-friend of Machine May. In fact, it is likely that he still is. The two used to post on MMA.tv's OG of their vigorous email friendship in which they read each other's works of fiction.

Will Zero Horizon come clean and reveal many of his email exchanges with the FS crowd? This seems to be the only way he can totally absolve himself of his "friendship" with Machine May (pictured below).

Lawler vs. Baroni: Who does Dana prefer? 

These two are matched to fight at UFC 51. It would seem that the loser will be out of the UFC. Some theorize that UFC president Dana White (pictured below, seemingly staring directly at Lawler's crotch) has developed an affinity for Robbie Lawler, and will therefore attempt to help him win in any way possible.

Erin Toughill attempts to paralyze fighter, gets disqualified

Megumi Yabushita (bottom)

Internet porn model and sometimes fighter Erin Toughill was disqualified in the final round of the Japanese event Smack Girl 2004 World ReMix after illegally elbowing her opponent Megumi Yabushita on the spine. Toughill, who is 5'10" and weighs 165 lbs, claimed after the fight to have retaliated in frustration to what she claimed was an illegal move by the 5'2" 140 lb Yabushita, who she accused of trapping her glove in a wristlock to twist her arm.

Since the event, Toughill's army of cronies have tried to justify her dishonorable actions by claiming that her own career was in jeopardy because of the allegedly illegal move by Yabushita. We at LukeBeston.NET feel that Toughill's actions during and after the fight are deplorable and "bad for the sport," therefore we ask that our loyal readers boycott her
porn site.

Fight pic 

I like Tarver over Johnson tonight. I don't think Johnson can match Tarver's skills. I also don't think he fought Roy Jones anywhere near his best. I say Tarver by late stopage.

Arizona white trash destroying the career of Mike Tyson? 



I appears Mike Tyson has become involved with the bottom of the barrel fight community - Arizona White Trash MMA. It's saying something when you come from the slums of Brooklyn and you're actually stepping down in class, but the Arizona MMA scene has shown itself to be pure trash. Among other things they are known for - heavy boozing and drug use, steroid trafficking, and illegal cage fighting. It's no suprise that Sammy "The Bull" Gravano set up shop here after he ratted out John Gotti.

No one knows how they got their hooks into Tyson. It may have been that Tyson mistook them for a legitimate team like Team Miletich or The Lion's Den. The reality is that the nhb "pros" from events like "Rage in the Cage" usually have no more than high school wrestling experience, if that. Sadly, since Tyson has moved to Phoenix, his behavior seems to be going down to the level of the trashier elements of the Arizona scene. This news appeared recently -

Mike Tyson Arrested
December 11, 2004 — Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor criminal damage for allegedly jumping on the hood of a car outside a nightclub, police said.

Tyson, who moved to Scottsdale early this year, appeared with lawyers at the city's police station Tuesday afternoon and was released after being given a citation.

Scottsdale police Detective Sam Bailey said Wednesday that Tyson likely will make an initial court appearance within 10 days.

Tyson allegedly dented the hood of a car when he jumped on it as its driver was leaving the club around 1 a.m. on Nov. 27.

Asaf Alikadic, 22, told police he had stopped his car to let Tyson cross the street when the boxer started screaming and yelling and then jumped on the hood of the car on his hands and knees and began to pound on it.

Alikadic said he doesn't want Tyson to go to jail.

"I just want my car fixed. That's it," he said.

A witness told police that Tyson "was intoxicated, falling over and slurring."

Tyson's lawyers said they were conducting their own investigation.

The 38-year-old Tyson is beginning to train for a fight in March, his first since being knocked out by Danny Williams in July.


Let's hope one of the greatest careers in boxing history is not derailed by an association with Arizona MMA. I feel Tyson still has a shot to be champion again if he keeps his nose clean. There is no way he can stay focused on boxing if he lives among MMA's trashiest community.

Aaron and Jinx hustled at poker by OG "pals" 



Apparently Aaron and Jinx were fleeced by some amateur hustlers from the OG. A little bit of booze, some signals and some peeking at cards and it's goodbye money.

Well, you will all be happy to hear that we cleaned Jinx and Aaron OUT!! I think Jinx lost around a $1000 and Aaron about $1400. Andreh's ex-boyfriend, an LAPD cop took home most of the pot and I think I came out second with a little under a grand.
I eat chicken was there selling steroids but nobody bought any. Fucking expensive stuff!!

Oh it wasn't a total sausage fest, therer were two girls there. ONe I suspect was the object of Andreh's temptation that he documented on a thread here not too long ago. He lost her to the guy with the most money.

Thanks Andreh! It was a good time.

Klitschko vs Williams 

I've got to go with the obvious pick and go with Klitschko. I simply the think the big men - Lewis and Sanders - that Klitschko has been in with are superior to Williams. Williams is a big man with a solid punch, so he will have a puncehrs chance. Plus sometimes when a guy is coming off a big victory like Williams is against Tyson, his confidence will be at an all time high. Personally I think the victory may be a little overrated because he was getting smoked before Tyson hurt his knee. I think Klitschko will score a mid round stoppage, but it should be 2 big men banging until then.

Rubber Raw in brawl with black shemale 

Rubber Raw recently wrote this interesting story about his altercation with a black shemale -

The other night, me and a friend were leaving one of my favorite L.A. nightspots. The place was crowded inside and outside with a lot of people wanting to get in. In the parking lot near the end of the line to get inside, there was this freaky black transvestite standing there. She was like 6'2" and very muscular, except she had on a wig and a dress and makeup.

My friend was pointing at her and laughing. Because I was drunk and not really thinking of what I was doing, I made a remark a little louder than I should have. I said, "That's a big bitch!"

Next thing I know she is stepping into my face saying, "Big enough to kick your ass white boy. Now run along before I have my way with you."

I couldn't even muster a response because I was laughing too hard. I was literally doubled over, cracking up. He started to get angry. He took off his high heels and then he said, "It's time for me to give you the lesson Momma never gave you."

I was still wiping the tears out of my eyes from laughing and this transtestical slaps me hard across the face. He said, "Yeah mother fucker that's right, I just slapped your face. Now what are you going to do."

Thta is when this stopped being a laughing matter. Underneath all the makeup and the dress was a large black man. It was fighting time. I led off with a right hand to the face and he came back at me with extreme ferociousness. Normally I would have the strength edge against anyone, but on this day I was off my steroid cycle. It's not like you can cycle year round, sometimes you have to take a break.

The other problem was that this guy was about the size and strength of Ray Lewis of the NFL. I can't imaginge why such a powerhouse would want to dress up as a chick, but I guess we all have things in life that we want to do. Anyway, strength wise we were about equal and he had about a 5 inch size advantage. I was trying to grapple him to the ground and he was coming over the top with hard blows to my back.

Damn, I thought, this is embarrassing. A guy in a wig was fighting me to a standstill, although at this point I had at least knocked his wig off. I was thinking of all the years I had built my reputation up as a steet fighter, it could all come crashing down with one loss to a cross dresser. Some things there are just no way to explain to people. Losing to a guy in a dress is one of them.

About a minute into the fight, a thought occurred to me. I wondered if he had implants or falsies. I made a point to break out of the standing clinch and get into striking range. We exchange combinations and when the moment was right I unleashed a hard left hook to the chest area. He backed off in pain.

"Oh you mother fucker!" he was screaming. He had implants and he didn't like being hit there.

He tried to come back in and start brawling, but basically at this point I had seen his tail. Even though I'm primarily a steroid stength brawler, this particular fight would be won with strikes. I saw another opening and nailed one of his sillicone implants with a powerful right hand. He backed off screaming and cursing.

"A couple more shots like that and one of those sacks is going to start leaking", I said. I had a cocky grin on my face. At this point he ran off saying he was going to get a knife and cut me. I knew he had had enough though.

One of my favorite parts of any street fight is the post fight strut. This is where you walk away from the fight scene and everyone is looking at you with admiration because you just kicked ass. It was kind of absurd because my opponent was wearing a dress, but people saw how big he was. I walked by slowly, letting people see who the man was. I was pretty sore the next day though. I definitely learned to be careful who you make fun of.

Warning to female fighters 

We here at the blog are concerned with the welfare and health of all people in the nhb scene. The issue at hand concerns the female fighters, be they in nhb or boxing. I'm not talking about the nhb groupies like Annabelle, but the women actually fighting or thinking of it. In order to get the competitive edge you will come up against the temptaion to take steroids. It's true that they will make you a better fighter, but think of the side effects. You may think they will be mild, but this picture of Chyna proves otherwise. Unless you are an extreme bull dyke and find this appealing, we here at Beston's Blog encourage all women to avoid steroids.

Sean "The Cannon" Gannon in trouble with Boston PD, begins damage control 


Sean "The Cannon" Gannon

Weeks after his illegal underground fight with Kimbo Slice, Boston police officer Sean "The Cannon" Gannon has decided to donate his purse from the fight to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, according to the statement below by Whoopass.tv, the website selling streams and DVDs of the fight:

We at Whoopass.tv are proud to announce that all profits from the Gannon/Kimbo sparring event are being donated to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. We originally offered it to Sean Gannon, but he refused to accept any money for his efforts, and requested that it all be donated to St. Judes. At first, he asked (from his hospital bed) that it be done anonymously, but we later decided it would bring more attention to the charity if we announced it. Robert Mrotek is organizing a tremendous fundraising effort through MMA.tv and many athletes like Hermes Franca and Renzo Gracie are also contributing. We urge everyone interested in contributing to a worthy cause to contact Robert Mrotek at RobertEMrotek2@aol.com.


At first this may seem like a warm hearted act of charity by Gannon, but, conspicuously, the announcement coincided with a series of articles in The Boston Herald reporting on an investigation by the Boston police department into Gannon's participation in mixed martial arts and, more recently, human cockfighting. See below.




Cop on the beat: Uproar over ‘extreme fighting’ video
By Dave Wedge
Friday, December 3, 2004

A beefy Boston cop hailed as a rising ``ultimate fighting'' star has come under fire for appearing in a bloody, bare-knuckle basement brawl tape.

Seven-year Boston police Patrolman Sean ``The Cannon'' Gannon and Miami ``pro streetfighter'' Kimbo Slice beat each other to a bloody pulp in the vicious eight-minute video for sale on extreme fighting Web sites.

The brawl, billed as a ``friendly sparring match,'' takes place in a gym with several onlookers, some filming.

Gannon, 34, and Slice, whose brother is a pro boxer, wear no gloves or other protective gear as they brutally punch, kick, elbow and knee each other. Gannon, a 270-pound, up-and-coming ``mixed martial arts'' heavyweight, is declared the winner after Slice is knocked down, apparently unconscious.

Gannon might have violated Boston police policy if he was paid for the video, Boston police spokeswoman Beverly Ford said. Boston police regulations bar outside employment without permission from the commissioner.

Gannon also could run into trouble because he is known to wear his official Boston police hat into the ring before fights - another possible violation.

``If there's any evidence that rules were violated, they will be investigated,'' Ford said.

Gannon, who was unavailable for comment, is a former Gold Gloves boxing champion and past Mass Destruction heavyweight champ, meaning he is recognized as the state's top mixed martial arts fighter in his weight class. He has fought regularly in Revere and is currently in negotiations to appear on a national stage in an upcoming Ultimate Fighting Championship event, according to his training partner, Mike Varner.

The controversial, but wildly popular, sport mixes boxing, kickboxing, wrestling and other martial arts and was banned in some states after being criticized by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in the early 1990s. Matches are often held in Massachusetts and are sanctioned by the Boxing Commission, including upcoming fights in Taunton next month and one at Avalon on Dec. 11 featuring Varner.
Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Katie Ford said mixed martial arts fights are legal in Massachusetts but ``no-holds barred'' matches are banned. The only rules in ``no-holds barred'' are no biting, eye-gouging or breaking fingers.

Despite the sport's violent reputation, Varner called it ``one of the oldest forms of sporting events.''

``They think we go in there with the idea of pounding on one another with anger and violence. But it's a sport,'' Varner said. ``We train in many different forms of martial arts. The strategy isn't to go in there and just pound your opponent. It's a live chess game.''


Cop buddy backs brawler while brass broods
By Dave Wedge
Saturday, December 4, 2004

As Boston police probe a patrolman caught on tape in a bareknuckle bloodbath, one fellow officer praised the fighting flatfoot as a ``good cop'' who saves the violence for the ring.

``He's fair. He does his job. He's a hard worker,'' one officer, who requested anonymity, said of Sean ``The Cannon'' Gannon.

``He could kill anybody he wants. But he's not like that on the streets,'' the officer said. ``He does his job, and then he has his ultimate fighting thing. They're not at all overlapping.''

Gannon, a seven-year Hub cop, has come under fire in the wake of a Herald report that found him pummeling another ``extreme fighter'' in a brutal basement videotape for sale on the Internet.

Gannon, 34, is a rising star in ``mixed martial arts'' and is reportedly in talks to fight in a national Ultimate Fighting Championship event.

On the tape, Gannon and ``pro streetfighter'' Kimbo Slice trade vicious bareknuckle punches, elbows and knees until both are bloodied. Gannon wins the eight-minute fight.

Boston police Superintendent James Claiborne said Gannon's videotaped streetfight and his ``extreme fighting'' career were not approved by the department and are under investigation.

Boston police ban outside work without prior approval by the Department.
``We do not encourage or condone this type of activity,'' Claiborne said. ``We would not have allowed or permitted this.''

Gannon could not be reached for comment.

It certainly appears that Gannon's decision to donate his pay from the fight to a charity is a desperate effort to salvage his career with the Boston police since receiving money for the fight would've been a direct violation of department policy. Once again, someone in New England has engaged in behavior that is "bad for the sport." Nice going!
