Unleash Your Ninja Skills with Fighting Games

Posted on December 5, 2016 by A. J. Riot

Unleash your ninja skills with fighting games, which can really show people that they’re capable of more than they thought. Ninjas have been popular in the media for a long time, and they have a degree of more or less permanent popularity on the Internet. Lots of people want to be able to really get ahead with these sorts of fighting skills, even if they’re never going to use them in real life.

Fighting games aren’t really going to be able to prepare people for fighting in the real world, although lots of people think that this is going to be the case. Being able to unleash your ninja skills after playing a single game can really be an appealing prospect for a lot of people. However, it’s important to keep all of these games in perspective. Video games and games at websites like the Royal Vegas Online Casino can certainly help with a lot of very real physical skills. They can improve a person’s hand-eye coordination. They can also generally give people better spatial recognition abilities.

Joe Warren Ranking History

Posted on December 1, 2016 by Richard Mann

On Friday night, former Bellator champion Joe Warren will try to win his third championship for the promotion as he faces bantamweight champion Eduardo Dantas in the main event of Bellator 166. Warren burst onto the scene in 2009. In his first professional fight, he defeated former WEC champion Chase Beebe and then bested Norifumi “Kid” Yamamoto. After winning the season-two Bellator featherweight tournament, he scored a come-from-behind knockout over Joe Soto to claim the promotion’s featherweight championship. Nearly two years later, he dropped the belt as he was knocked out by Pat Curran. Following that fight, Warren moved down to bantamweight and defeated Dantas for the title. However, since his title win, he has gone 2-2 with victories over L.C Davis and Sirwan Kakai and losses coming against Marcos Galvao and Darrion Caldwell.

Warren is currently the #16 bantamweight. His peak ranking came on 1/1/2011 as he reached the #3 featherweight. Warren’s high from a ranking points perspective came on 1/1/2015 following his upset victory over Dantas.
