Well, Red Bull X Fighters didn’t quite go as planned. Twith got taken out by young Levi in the quarters because he messed up on a cordova flip. Without the mistake Twitch definitely would have been heading to the semi’s and the finals. Oh well, not bad for not riding after X Games and just coming straight to London!

Robbie Maddison made it to the semi finals. He beat Rebeau in the quarters. Unfortunately Rebeau cased the back side of a landing on a flip after getting a flat front tire. Rebeau is fine other than the big hole in his bottom lip. Next up for Maddo was Nate Adams. It was a close call, but Adams beat out Maddo and eventually won the event.

Sucks the boys didn’t finish better, but they rode like bad asses and all in all it was a good event.

Sorry for lack of cool photos. Was mostly filming video for the next web vid and the upcoming Metal Mulisha DVD…that’s right, the new Metal Mulisha DVD is in the works!

We’re out here in London at the historic Battersea Power Station for Red Bull X Fighters! The weather is surprisingly good for London and they’re not expecting rain for tonight’s final, so looks like it’s game on for tonight! Last night was seeding and Twitch took 3rd and Maddo too 5th. Check back tomorrow for evrything from the finals.

Transworld Motocross caught up with Josh Grant and got the low-down on his crash from X Games, recovery and when he might get back on the bike…check it!

The newest Metal Mulisha MMA fighter Gilbert Melendez pounded Mitsuhiro Ishida into a 3rd round stoppage to hold onto the Strikeforce interim Lightweight Championship! Congrats!

Dominic Cruz dominated in his WEC match versus Joseph Benavidez with a unanimous decision win to improve his record to 14-1-0.

Over the weekend Renato “Babalu” Sobral was in the Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Championship fight versus Gegard Mousasi. Unfortunately Mousasi caught Babalu pretty good and ended the fight early. That shit happens in MMA, but it’s all good because Babalu will be back training harder than ever and ready to fight to get that championship real soon!

Cruise out this Saturday to the new OTM Fight Shop in Corona, CA and meet Babalu at the Metal Mulisha booth, check out the new Metal Mulisha Fight Gear and maybe score some free swag! Directions.
