read and support this. it's great stuff and i always love it when i see mma/ufc help and support the troops. seriously anything to pick these guys up and help out is ok by me.

i love the story of damacio page totally dominating a guy that was over 100 pounds more than him! hilarious stuff.

Man, I would have loved this. When I was in Advanced Infantry Training (AIT), we were taught a modified BJJ. I guess they Army worked with the Gracies so that we can learn some effective hand to hand in case our weapons jam or *insert whatever scenario* happens. I would have much rather had MMA fighters throwing me around than my stupid Drill Sgt. LOL

it's really cool they are learning different techniques. i love the quotes from the marines saying this was the best training they've received ever.

i also love how 135 lb damacio page wrecked a 260 lb marine!

great stuff from that article

Great article.

I thought this was a good quote by Jorge Rivera:

"Awesome wisdom is useless unless you have someone to share it with and who better to share it with, than the people who defend our freedom."

And this one by Matt Linland:

It was an honor to have the opportunity to give back to the service men and women of the United States. Every day they are protecting this great country and our freedoms and liberties, I don't take this for granted and had a wonderful time being able to give something back to them.

I like that the UFC has attached themselves to the helping of the men and women who sacrifice their own freedoms to ensure the safety of our own. Good on 'em.

i'm happy to see my fellow soldiers getting some aid from some great mma fighters, marines are the shit even though im in the air force!

you have to give respect to these brave men and women in the marines for risking their lives.
