Sensei Al & Co. trolled us into getting a free SAMBO seminar. Those bastards!

We?

Bullshido has over 50,000 accounts. Most of the staff and mods don't have time to go into every thread. This whole saga came from a handful of MySpace posters who cooincidentally are martial artists and also happen to frequent here along with other sites. Who exactly is this 'we' you speak of?

Getting 'pranked' into a quickly arranged Bullshido Throwdown isn't exactly that hard to do, considering many of those 'we' people of which you speak would do exactly this for no reason other than enjoyment, anyway. (Heck, I'm positive at least two of the people who showed up at the FightHouse were only playing along just to meet up and train with some other martial artists.)

By "we", I don't mean Bullshido or any forum for that matter but rather those who were pranked, which includes myself.

the way he talked totally changed it went from highly professional to typical wording. i say fuck the whole thing.

Okay. So I have been following this harrowing story of bjj fighting for about half an hour. So far, i have no idea wtf went down. I found this video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCv07NDsvqk
That says it was posted last year. It seems the fight was organized 2007? So what happened? Anyone have a recap?

According to the user channel, the video was posted "10 hours ago".

Mikey Triangles asked a crazy shirtless sword weilding black dude what his BJJ lineage was... black dude goes bonkers... Mikey asks the "Sensei", Al, what his lineage is. He takes it as a challenge and then there is a bunch of cock brandishing until finally they come to an agreement that they will all meet up at a specific gym in NYC to BATTLE. Al's folks dont show. Then on Al's forum it is revealed that it was a giant troll job months in the making... those behind it were the ACA(All Challenges Accepted)... kind of yin to Bullshido's yang...

Did I miss anything?

[droberts]

you said "those who were pranked, which includes myself."

so you were there? at the fighthouse to fight one of Al's guys?

No, I didn't go to the FightHouse.

[droberts]

Oh... so then those who were pranked doesnt really include you... since you know... the prank was getting them to go all the way to gym...

I mean... Im not trying to be a dick or anything... Im just saying. I followed this incident straight from the myspace group where it really picked up steam and I dont feel pranked at all... I wouldnt feel so bent out of shape about it... I would understand if you actually went to the "event"... but yeah... since all you had to do was update yourself on the internet... I dont know. Ill just stop talking lol

I understand what you're saying. I guess it would be more appropriate if I said I was tricked rather than pranked.

[droberts]

Yeah. LOL Mecho is still posting on Myspace Martial Artists group... they are wrecking their own troll by trying to drag it on and on long after it has run its course... lol

My comment on the idea of letting this ride, http://mmafighters.21.forumer.com/vi...hp?p=2428#2428

[borrachaGB]

what does it say, since most of us were banned from that forum lol

[droberts]

um... looks like they are role playing that it wasnt a troll... :O

now i am really confused... no joke here... I need an adult.

No doubt, this was a good prank.

Elaborate? Great? No and no - not especially. Rudy's saga is an elaborate and great prank.

Hey, there are some real pluses to this elaborate troll job. The crew that showed up to fight got a great Sambo seminar. This incident was a pretty good dry run for outing a potential fraud in near record time (damn, look how many Web sites this has been discussed on and how far and wide this issue was spread). Also, it kept a bunch of kids of the street and safely behind their computer screens while getting a good giggle at our expense.
