New Poster for "The Dark Knight Rises"

I don't know how many of you are excited for this, but I am excited. I can't wait for the movie to come out. The little teaser trailer was cool, but I want to see more of the movie. They're definitely building up the anticipation for this movie. Bane is going to be a badass and I'm curious to see if one of my friends made the final cut in the movie. All I'm going to say is that Bane disrupts a sports game. Which one? I know which one, but let's just say there are two ways to play it depending on the person you speak to. 

I believe Tom Hardy is going to be a badass in this movie, because in Bronson and the mma movie Warrior, he was a beast. I recommend checking those movies out, because they were good flicks. Well, Bronson was a bit slow, but it's watchable.  That's one thing I like about Batman movies, the new villains. He probably has one of the best collective of bad guys to go up against and if you read the comics you know that is true. Well, I figured I'd share this poster with you for all that don't know.

1 day 45% discount with coupon code "BIGFOOT"

The 12th was Strikeforce's MMA event "Fedor Vs. Silva", which was a really great night of fights. Since, I was rooting for the underdog for Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva to defeat Fedor Emelianenko and he won I decided to have a discount code. It was amazing to see Bigfoot defeat the world's greatest heavyweight MMA fighter, that I thought it had to show a response of respect. This is honoring the fact that ANYTHING is possible if you set your mind to it. I was at the event and there were tooons of Russians and everyone cheering Fedor, rightfully so, but this was not expected.

I took pictures and some video and will give a better detailed recap soon. In the meantime use the discount code "bigfoot" for 45% off your entire order at Branded Baron.

It was amazing, especially if you follow mixed martial arts. We can all achieve the unthinkable.

MMAValor.com's Josh rocking Branded Baron while meeting UFC's Shane Carwin

UFC 116 with the heavyweight title fight between Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin is happening this Saturday and I know Josh of MMAValor.com is all over it on his site. Josh recently went to the last UFC Expo in Las Vegas and met with the soon to be heavyweight champ Shane Carwin. I'm amazed at how giant his hands are, because Josh and Carwin are almost the same height, but DAMN! Well he does have the largest hands in the UFC. It was cool to see that Josh was rocking the Branded Baron Lion t-shirt(Purchase here) when he met with him. There was no way Shane Carwin couldn't have seen the shirt, so he was exposed to Branded Baron, maybe in the future he'll have his own Branded Baron tee. So Shane, if you're reading this WIN on Saturday and let's work on making you your own Branded Baron signature tee.

On a side note: Have you realized Brock Lesnar fans talk so much smack? Come on leave the professional wrestling already.
Definitely check out http://www.mmavalor.com to get some more MMA in your life. Josh even has 2 interviews with the former Green ranger from Power Rangers. He has other interviews with Jon Fitch, but that one caught me off guard. lol It's definitely a site worth checking out. Keep rocking Branded Baron.

UFC 111 Branded Baron Recap

So last night, I went to UFC 111 in Newark to see a great card of Mixed Martial Arts fights. If you didn't know, I'm a fan of martial arts and I've trained in a couple disciplines and I still currently train in Gracie jiu jitsu. Being a fan it made sense for me to create a MMA influenced design. There will be more limited edition Branded Baron mma influence designs. The "To Live Is To Die" shirt sold out and after speaking with Anthony, we decided we will not reprint it. Those who own it, owns a very exclusive shirt. I rocked it last night, but my girl rocked the Lion design on a white t-shirt(a href="http://www.brandedbaron.com/product/l-k-gradient-white-female">Click here to purchase, which I feel can be worn at pretty much at any event.

Back to last night. It was an amazing experience and I was like a little kid attending his first professional sports game and being since I've never attended a UFC event it sort of was. The last time the UFC was in New Jersey was in 2008 I believe, so I wasn't the only one who jumped on the opportunity to attend this sold out event. The New Jersey fighters were 3/4 last night. I didn't know Greg Soto was from Jersey, but Jersey's own Jim Miller, Ricardo Almeida, and Kurt Pellegrino won. I predicted the correct outcomes except for the Shane Carwin and Frank Mir fight. I really thought Frank Mir would've won and I'm still disappointed he lost. Shane Carwin is a good fighter and I hope he beats Brock Lesnar, I guess I'm more of a Frank Mir fan or i really wanted to see Mir vs. Lesnar 3. Oh Pelahares won his prelim fight, but when a person taps you let go and do not have to have the referee pry your arms from the hold. What was weird was I saw Wilmer Valderrama from "That 70's Show" & "Yo Mama" fame. I didn't know he was a fan of mma. While everyone was rocking other brands, I made sure I let the people I walked by and all the people sitting behind me know I was wearing Branded Baron. I have a blurry picture with Frankie Edgar with my shirt and a picture of myself after the event, where it was a bad picture, because the shirt looks bad and I know first hand it's not. The print is fine, but the picture doesn't do it justice. My girlfriend captured some video, but I would upload it to youtube, but I don't need Dana White or the UFC suing me. Other fighters that were there, Chuck Liddell, Brock Lesnar, Jon Jones, Matt Hamill, Renzo Gracie, and Frankie Edgar(both who cornered Ricardo Almeida, but also stayed to watch the fights). Georges St. Pierre dominated and I knew he wanted to finish with a submission, so it was no surprise when he was disappointed in his performance. Overall it was fun and I'm glad I went.

I know we're only holding the pre-order for a short while, but we want to get this shirt out as soon as possible, because there's a ton of fights this March and we want everyone to watch them with this shirt on. I will definitely be rocking this shirt when I watch UFC 111 in person. Even if I wasn't attending, I'd watch the fight at a sports bar with this shirt on. Hey, if you think this shirt is for mma fans only, don't be silly, it doesn't matter if you're a boxing fan or not into fighting at all.
