All Elbows’ Favorites Part One
This was a pretty eventful and adventure-filled year for us. It began with the two of us in Tokyo, jobless but credentialed at both Dynamite!! and Sengoku No Ran, bumping into “Mayhem” Miller in our budget hotel and ended most recently with us in San Jose, myself working for Strikeforce and Casey working for AOL […]
Year of the Mo Part Three: The Debut
FINALLY! It took us months but we’ve finally finished part three of Year of the Mo. Looking back at all the projects we’ve completed since, I’m a little embarrassed it took us so long but it’s been a busy few months and we’re glad to present this now — despite its tardiness. In the coming […]
Don’t forget! Sengoku 8 this weekend
We’re not a news blog or anything but some MMA sites are whining about the lack of MMA. Well, don’t forget that the second round of Sengoku’s Featherweight Grand Prix are this weekend!

Fight Night with Mo Lawal: Photos
As promised, here’s the photos documenting Fight Day with King Mo. Thanks again to Mo, Ryan, Dean, Yamamoto, and Chonan for letting me snap in their faces all day long. Also, I’d like to thank the fighters whom we shared the locker room with, except I don’t think they’ll read this.

Sengoku ‘Seventh Battle’ Gallery
There’s too much to say, too many photos, too many memories and a blur between my memory, the broadcast, and time. So, instead, I will just present you with how I saw the Sengoku 7 featherweight grand prix.
King Mo Post Fight Press Interview
It’s 2 am here in Tokyo and we just got back from dinner after the fights. But before moving onto editing, we wanted to post a snippet from King Mo’s post-fight interview. Here in Japan, events have the fighters do an interview with all the media immediately following their fight. Mo brought his queens out […]
Fight Journal: King Mo, Sengoku 7 – Day 3
It’s Fight Day here in Tokyo and this week’s been interesting, full of juvenile fun and games. We put together a video of Mo’s third day in Tokyo, covering the weigh-ins, to the press conference, and dinner with fans from his Mixi (Japanese version of Myspace) community. Outside of Mo’s doings, I’ve been chit chatting […]

In this episode, we drove all over Southern California to Mo’s many training locations to get a glimpse into the extensive and varied preparation that Mo receives.
Late Night Interview with Mo Lawal
On a damp and cold February night a few weeks ago, we had Mo Lawal come over for an interview that will ultimately be edited into three short pieces about the up-and-coming MMA fighter.
Goodbye Tokyo!
Farewell Japan and thanks for all the MMA! I had a great week in Tokyo, attending both K-1 Premium Dynamite!! and Sengoku, while covering Mo Lawal backstage and press events. “King Mo” and his camp allowed me to follow them around backstage during Sengoku and it was an awesome experience. Operations essentially run the same, […]
