Who saw that Barao vs. Faber fight? I know Herb Dean is a quality ref, but that was a pretty bad stoppage. I mean, sure, Faber was not doing well, but he was obviously defending and had control of his wits. I have seen so many fights go one much longer than that, and how that one got stopped, I have no idea.

The thing that bothers me a little is I seem to vaugley remember a similar bad stop by Mr. Dean a few months back. I can't remember the exact fight off the top of my head, but it was something extremely similar. I'm not sure if it's just a coincidence, a statistical norm (he does ref A LOT), a mistaken memory, or time for him to reevaluate his commitment to reffing. 

The rest of the card was great though, so that's a bonus. It just sucks when the main fight ends in such a bad way after the rest of the night was great. You could even see Dana White a little annoyed in the background. It reminds me of the Hendricks vs. GSP fight...different cause of the bad taste in my mouth after the last fight, but the same idea of a great card getting messed up by someone who is not one of the fighters.

Anyway, 2/22 looks like it has potential. I know I'll be watching. Will you?

Working out and living at high altitudes has been very important to the success of numerous top competitors going back a couple of years. Lots of people were unacquainted with this athletic strategy, however this solution has gone out of hiding now. Everybody knows how helpful training in thin air is.

The world’s top athletes have now been by using this solution to enhance their aerobic potential, overall health, strength, and their well being. Previously this kind of training method was simulated through the usage of excessively costly chambers and hi-tech tents, and elevation hypothecators created mainly for the military and pilots. Or, you can visit thin air training camps and facilities.

However, in the current world this kind of training at high altitudes is becoming more a tradition than anything only open to a select few. There's also additional fighting training camps that use high altitudes to provide the practitioners who visit there an advantage over their competition.

Competing at an elite level demands an athlete’s body to enhance the procedure named oxygen metabolism. Numerous reports show the body’s capability to process oxygen could be considerably improved by normal short-term contact with hypoxic breathing or breathing nothing. You should practice and remain at these high altitudes, because the body changes over an interval of time around four weeks to be able to enhance their oxygen metabolism.

These professional level fighters have loved the competitive advantage thus providing them with a benefit in their performance like having increased sharp mental focus, increased anaerobic tolerance, physical endurance and increased mental acuity, and increased lung volume by keeping this secret concealed from their opposition.

But now anyone can simulate this type of workout. Technology has created elevation training masks. They simulate high elevation training, and can be purchased and worn by anyone, not only the world’s top athletes.

These training masks have created thin air training environments open to anybody who would like to make the most of this kind of training.
