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

Baldomir-Gatti 

I like Baldomir in this fight. I think Gatti's such a fan favorite that it causes people to overestimate his skills. Yes his power is always dangerous, but keep this in mind, Baldomir's been stopped only once in his career and that was in 1994. Zab Judah who is quicker than Gatti, never even came close to hurting him. It doesn't mean that it couldn't happen because Gatti is unpredictable, but it's unlikely. In fact I think Baldomir has a better chance at scoring a stoppage. He's a natural welter, unlike Gatti, who once fought at feather and although he has few knockouts, he seems to be improving with age. He hurt Judah several times. Keep in mined also that Gatti has a tendency to cut and swell around the eyes, as well as throw his shoulder out from time to time. Those things could come into play over a 12 round fight. If Gatti is to win I think it will have to be one of his blood and guts style fights. The powers that be may feel that they can make more money off Gatti, so anything remotely close may end up a split decision for Gatti. Overall though, I expect Baldomir to win, by late stoppage or clear decision. I hear the odds are currently 2 to 1 for Gatti. I'd bet this fight if I were in Vegas.

TUF 4 Rumors Running Rampant 

Fightsport and Sherdog are ruining the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter by publishing the results of the fights before they are aired. We have learned that the 170 pound finale will feature Serra vs. Lytle, and the 185 pound finale will feature Lutter vs. Cote. We have also learned some of the results of fights that occur early on in the season, including Pete Sell's unanimous decision victory over Charles McCarthy (pictured below).

It remains to be seen whether Fightsport and Sherdog have shared this information in a joint effort to spoil the next edition of the UFC's reality show.
