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

Ron Krull's Woman acts the same way. All it means is that the record is more difficult to find; it's still there. Ron Krull's Woman is simply being shown as a coward.

BTW, I know you're reading ths, Robby. Expect a letter to appear at your school, and at Valley View Karate Martial Arts Center.

Next time, just leave well-enough alone, kid.

Technique of the Day - Twister from the Mount 

A easy and effective setup for the twister from Mount Position


You are in Mount Position and your opponent is trying to escape by doing a foot drag (entageling your leg)




As soon as your opponent is doing it triangle his leg and turn a little bit sidewards but still keep pressure.


Grab his other ankle and start rolling over your shoulder




When you have finished the roll you have the perfect position for a Twister. Grab his Arm as soon as you can because you are looking for his neck. Keep his legs triangled.


Switch the grip and bring your arm around his neck. YOu are very close to twist him. Keep his leg triangled.


You got him in the twister. Just squeeze a little bit (careful) and he he taps.
You can also take his back and just do the rear naked choke.

Dana White sabotages Bobby Southworth's career 


Bobby Southworth

A LukeBeston.NET correspondent in Las Vegas just emailed me an exclusive behind the scenes scoop on the troubled relationship between The Ultimate Fighter season one contestant Bobby Southworth and Dana White. Here it is in his words:

After Bobby lost to Sam Hogar it was reported that after the match he was yelling "Were the judges blind?" as well as "Is it because I am black?"......After his loss Dana explained to him that the UFC still had a plan for him but he might have to wait a few months in order for them to figure out exactly what they want to do with him. BSouth told him that he would think about waiting but he was going to do what was in his best interest and not Dana's or the UFC's. Behind the scenes Dana had expressed interest in having a Bonnar vs Southworth rematch if Bonnar dropped his next match. Bobby is reported to be taking a fight against 205 lb up and comer Terry Martin in June (not in the UFC). He feels that the UFC has all of season I contestants on hold with a false promise that maybe they will call them for a future show. He believes that all of them will be dumped without the UFC ever calling them and he doesn't want to be used. He has said publicly that he does not like Dana and at this point he really doesn't care about the UFC. When the UFC was airing TUF, Bobby was telling the people on MMA.tv that there was a big conspiracy to make him look bad (he called it "The Editing Monster".) It is rumored that when this was going on, Dana had to call him on two different occasions telling him to "Stay the fuck off the internet." He even threatened legal action if BSouth continued to do so. Bobby feels that the UFC intentionally damaged his reputation and his only means of trying to save it was taken away from him.

Fightsporter To Notify Robert "Fearless Goat" Mrotek's Neighbors About Mrotek's Criminal Past 



Fightsport member Ryan Lankford has had enough of Robert "Fearless Goat" Mrotek and has decided to do something about it. Lankford posted the following on Fightsport.com, for which he should be congratulated:

"There are so many people that hate you guys that I just dont give a fuck what you idiots say."

Fantastic, Bobby. Since you don't care, it won't bother you to know that I archived the webpage outlining your crimes, and that I'm working on producing paper copies to send to every residential and business address within a 3 mile radius of your home. Better check the telephone poles around your neighborhood, too Rob. There will be flyers around town educating the public about your crimes. And of course, every elementary and Jr. High school will know what you were convicted of as well, so people can keep their kids away from you.

Ya know, Rob, you should have left well enough alone, instead of talking shit at every turn, even when I was trying to help you find people to help you with your event.

Sorry Rob, but the lowest scum on the planet are sex offenders. The fact that you're well-respected in an online community that regularly harbors child rapists, petty thugs and murderers doesn't mean shit. You're at the bottom of society's totem pole, and always will be.

Fight pic 

Golota-Brewster. Another tough pic. I'm going to go with Brewster's durability as well as his left hook. I think sooner or later he will land something major that will get the Foul Poll in trouble. I expect Brewster to come in much better shape than he did against the Australian because I don't think he will take Golota lightly. There is a scenario where Golota could take a close decision because King may feel he can make more money with Golota as champ. I'm going to go with Brewster by late stoppage.

More News on The Ultimate Fighter season 2! 




Ryan "The Lion" Schultz

A LukeBeston.NET correspondent in Las Vegas has informed us that one of the welterweights chosen for season two of SpikeTV's The Ultimate Fighter is Team Quest's Ryan "The Lion" Schultz. Here is Schultz's first impression of the process:

After the first interview, Dana came right in and talked to me for a little bit. After that we had to go back to our hotel room for another night. The next day we had our second interview and it was very short as well, all they asked about was what I had thought about Dana White.

I was warned about his fragile ego before I went out there, but I had no idea it was as bad as that.

It looks like Dana "BLAF" White is trying to make sure that none of the fighters chosen for next season will disrespect him like Bobby Southworth did!

The Ultimate Fighter Season 2 News! 



A loyal reader has emailed LukeBeston.NET with news on the upcoming second season of the SpikeTV reality show The Ultimate Fighter. Here's what he had to share:


All of the TUF Season II contestants are now currently being sequestered in order to figure out who exactly will be on the next season. The contestants are now being held in separate hotel rooms and are NOT allowed to talk or interact with anyone. All seems to be running smoothly except for the cell phones that they forgot to take away from the fighters. I have thus far talked to two of the contestants both of which have said that since Sunday [May 8] they have been locked in there rooms without any interaction at all. Jorge Gurgel said that he and Kerry Schall are now there and that yesterday (Monday [May 9]) the only thing that he did was a 15 minute interview. After the interview Dana White quickly walked into the room and introduced himself. He said that he is going crazy being in his hotel room. He also said that every few hours there is a knock on his hotel room door and there is some fruit and water on the outside. Sam Morgan claims that he actually breached UFC security and left his hotel room only to run into Mike Whitehead. He said that they both looked at each other and immediately walked back to their rooms without saying anything to each other.

Thus far I have uncovered:

Sam Morgan
Jorge Gurgel
Kerry Schall
Mike Whitehead



Our source is working on uncovering the rest of the fighters, but that's all we can share for now in the interest of protecting the identity of our informant and his methods of extracting information. For more breaking news that you won't find elsewhere, keep checking LukeBeston.NET!

Fight pic 

Castillo vs. Corrales - This is a tough fight to pic because these are both great fighters. Castillo kind of reminds me of Chavez when he was lightweight in that he applies constant pressure and seems impossible to knock out. Corrales has freaky power and great accuracy , so if anyone could stop Castillo it would be him. This looks to ba a war and it will probably be too brutal to go the distance. There's the potential for cuts and controversial stoppages. I'm going to pick Castillo because I think he's a great all around Mexican boxer much like Margarito who won recently. Corrales is a very confident fighter right now so I can't count him out, but Castillo is bigger, stronger nad has a better ching than Freitas. The undercard I'm not going to veenture a pick on becase I haven't seen them fight before.


[To a female reporter] "It's no doubt I am going to win this fight and I feel confident about winning this fight. I normally don't do interviews with women unless I fornicate with them. So you shouldn't talk anymore... Unless you want to, you know."

"All praise is to Allah, I'll fight any man, any animal, if Jesus were here I'd fight him too."

"I can sell out Madison Square Garden masturbating."

Sherdog owes me a T-Shirt 

I grew tired of MMA.TV and started to post on Sherdog's Website. Just like the old days when me a few others made that board. The funny thing is that Sherdog does not believe it is me. He has offered to give me a free t-shirt if I can prove it. Well Sherdog, here is the SOH posting on the website he created a longtime ago. I would like a Large White Sherdog T-Shirt. Thanks.

Mezger's "Badass" Show is BAD FOR THE SPORT! 

We have an eyewitness account of the kind of business that the Lion's Den is doing when it comes to the television show they're shooting. It should come as no shock that they resorted to illegal tactics and having a teammate referee their bouts, in order to ensure a Lion's Den victory.

Yesterday at a KIA dealership in Dallas, they had the finale for the Guy Mezger ‘Badass' show! They had KEN SHAMROCK as the special referee.
Guy came out at the start and he was HOT in person. The guy who won the competition, Marc, was going to get a chance to come out and either drink a glass of milk (LOL!!) like a good boy and go home to momma, or pick a fighter to face: Alex Andrade, Tra Telligman, Travis Luter or a guy called Eric I'd never heard of.

Guy was funny! He said the guy could go cry to momma!! This fired Marc up and he picked the most physically intimidating fighter, Alex. He had HUGE balls! If he could last 5 minutes, he would win 25K. I wouldn't fight any of them for that much!! The crowd wanted him to pick Tra, I guess to have a better chance of winning, but he stepped up and took on THE BULL!

The fight didn't last long. Both were throwing bombs! Marc came out strong and Alex looked tentative. After both got staggered a bit, and both got physicaly knocked back, Marc managed to regain his composure and shoot / take down Alex with a big slam! Just due to his sheer size Marc (who was a good 10-20 lbs heavier than Alex) was able to throw Alex around. Ken looked really worried. Alex sort of lost his composure but got it back to the feet. Anyway, Marc eventually managed to do a bit of lay and pray, pinning the much smaller Alex underneath him and holding him there for some time.

Ken decided to restart the action standing which sort of got booed by the crowd since the guy was trying to last the 5 minutes and make the money. It looked biased on Ken's part. Marc rushed in but Alex threw a series of flashy kicks and actually eventually dropped Marc to the canvas. Alex flipped out and went crazy, he threw a HUGE kick to Marc's face! It looked like a kickoff on a NFL football game. Marc looked really hurt bad. Shamrock started laughing and stopped the fight.

GREAT ACTION! Andrade was badass!
