Triangles is ranked no-gi on whatever that american grappling rankings site is, but I think he's only technically a BJJ blue belt, with some boxing training in the past.
The other cat who is fighting MMA is an amateur MMA fighter, and I know nothing beyond that. Al's guys are too fucking awesomely secretive and deadly to let their credentials or identity be known.

Fight was supposed to go down in NYC. Al's people are claiming they're on site. The Sherdog people are claiming they're on site. Problem is: neither party is seeing the other there. The sherdog people are taking receipts/video to prove they were there. Hopefully this gets resolved soon. I want a fight damnit!

If this was an elaborate trolljob by the fightsport crew, it's gonna go down as a classic.
Where's the sherdog thread about the noshow? |

If this was an elaborate trolljob by a person, or persons, posing as Al and students, creating their forum a month ago, creating a small webpage, dropping a random comment about their teacher being a BJJ BB on myspace, dealing with the forum raid, and then setting this all up, that is some seriously amazing asshat work. Just mind blowing.
Supposedly video will be posted from the fighthouse of the guys standing around waiting (with timestamps and clock shots) and then of them doing a Sambo leglock session with the guy who was supposed to ref.

I think it's more a case of opportunistically adapting unplanned developments into a glorious hoax. At this point, I think that's funnier than if Al were real.

For me, the funniest possibility has to be that Al is real, a legit BJJ black belt, and insane.

Elaborate hoax, or so it seems. I think the target was the bullshido website, but this Mikey Traingles cat just got caught up in it accidently. Run by someone who calls themselves the ACA. Not exactly sure what the point is, but there manifesto seems to be that anyone should be able to spread whatever martial arts bullshit they want without being hassled. Good troll job, but I'm not sure what the hell the point is. Not really that funny, no overriding goal acheived, just sort of random lie.

Sure a prank is a prank, and they pulled it off well. But I believe the point of their group is to stop agressive assholes from being pricks to TMA guys just to be pricks. Instead, they fabricated a guy who was lying about BJJ credentials, and then when the guy investigating was very polite about asking, they challenged the guy to a fight, which they eventually talked them into. Sure it's mildly amusing, but it's not like they did it to a guy who was like "Tai Chi sucks ass, I wanna fight your teacher." Now that would be someone who had it coming, and far funnier to me. Well executed ruse, nonetheless, I just don't get it.

This shit was premeditated ownage at its finest. These guys, who call themselves the ACA (All Challenges Accepted) devised these elaborate plan to pwn Bullshido.net, but Mikey Triangles from Sherdog was just at the wrong place, at the wrong time, and ended up getting caught up in the mix.
The ACA, for some reason or another, totally supports the spread of martial art misinformation on the Internet. Their main target was Bullshido, but anyone willing to stick up for the integrity of martial arts would do. They started a forum an entire month ago and posted in it casually a few times to make it seem like your run-of-the-mill message board. On top of that, they assumed the pre-existing personas of Sensei Al (T-Nation forumer, YouTube member) and THEDAVIS (YouTube member) and created a fake MySpace account for Mecho, one of Sensei Al's top students, with a 16-0-4 record. The entire thing came to an abrupt end when Sensei Al accidently made a post as Mecho without logging out of his Sensei Al account first. Someone quoted it before Al could delete it and the prank was all but over. In a matter of minutes an ACA page replaced the original MMA Fighters website and Sensei Al and company started gloating that we had all been had. I, for one, was convinced this was legit. I didn't think your average troll would spend a month's time on a prank like this. It's unfortunate that Mikey Triangles and James Funaro had to waste a half of a day traveling to New York to fight these make-believe characters, but for all of the outsiders (like me) it was funny as fuck. |

Funny troll, but these guys can't really boast about wasting people's time when they put up an almost monumental amount of effort into it. That being said, it's probably not the best idea to antagonize people that could literally choke the life out of you.

I'm sure they think that's totally awesome. Like I said, I bought it for the same reasons others did: hard to believe that someone would go through all that trouble for a prank without any real goal or payout. And I thought if it was a prank, whoever was pulling it would have had to have put some serious time into studying bullshido type shit and the reactions those guys have - I underestimated that these guys apparantly have. No skin off my back, I got some mild entertainment out of it, the worst anyone I contacted got was an e-mail they spent 60 seconds reading. Like KCB, I certainly wasn't planning on going anywhere, fighting anyone, or wasting any real time on it, believable or not. Absolutely agreed again.

No need in back peddling, brain.
The thing is that just because they set it up and say it's hilarious, that doesn't make it hilarious. As the last Defender of Comedy, I have to proclaim the whole gag to be some dumb shit. You (the pranksters) go out and create a webpage, and post on it from time to time to create the illusion that it's legit, and then say that the people who bought it take things too seriously? LOwhat? Where's the funny? Answer: not in this dumb fucking prank. It would have been a fucking hysterical prank if they'd set it all up and then when Mikey Triangles got there, the organizers got him in the cage, then had his opponent come out, and his opponent was a fairy in a speedo, all greased up. That would have been HYSTERICAL to see footage of; the way they did it was hack shit and I refuse to laugh at it because they proclaim themselves funny. That's what wrong with you kids nowdays, you think if you do stupid shit and say it's funny, then it's funny. Wrong. The only true comedy was tRJSoi doing a counter troll on the forum raiders. That was one of the funniest things I've ever seen online, no lie. |

ACA are fucking great. I totally agree with the point that they spent too much time on it, but if you're an ingenius sociopath, what better way to spend your time?
I've heard of them referred to as the 'Agrivating Cunts Association' - which I'm sure they'd take no offence from, they seem determined to stitch people up on the internet like that's their only interest. It's quality that these people exist. On their forum, they've got a special 'cussing people' section which you have to earn access to. They get people to demonstrate recent troll jobs before they trust you enough to let you in lol I was reading some of the stuff there a couple of months ago, some EZboard thing, one of the most active trolls on there was telling people who wanted access to 'cussing people' that they would be fairly disappointed, 'There's not much going on here these days, we are all a bit too busy to spend time trolling.' haha

JESUS CHRIST I HATE DIAL UP. It takes my internet here no lie, not exagerrating, five minutes FIVE SOLID FUCKING MINUTES just to load up the Quick Reply box at the bottom of the screen. The irony.
I hate this shit. Fuck everybody. And that forum sucks. I was the 13th registered user there. Wow, real badasses, troll other people but are too pussy to have open registration. Why don't those faggots come over here and troll us? Open challenge. |

At home, I have a "high speed" wireless that eats dick. It's faster than dial up. I can actually watch a video on YouTube in "real time" at home. Or RedTube. Or PornTube. Anyway, point being... things at home are ok.
I'm at work now, and this is where the slow shit is. PS - cable internet is not available where I live, or else I'd have it. I live out in the woods you see, the woman and the kids and the dog and me. |

We should troll the trolls, imo. These little boys are dick-waving too much for what little they accomplished and need to be brought back to earth.

looking back on this thread and seeing how worked up you got is actually pretty damn funny, and it WAS well done. that being said, there's no way the payout was anywhere close to worth the effort. they spent a month putting that together, most people that fell for it had a 3-5 second laugh and moved on with their lives. |
