Hello there. What is cooking? A bunch of stuff has been going on as far as news goes in the world of fighting this last week or so. In the bjj world, a member of Lloyd Irvin’s camp is inexplicably making noise and drawing attention to himself and therefore the rest of them. Why? Also, some sort of tax charge that has been pending against LI got changed or adjusted to something more serious. The bjj police are crusading away. I haven’t been paying much attention to the tax portion of the sitch.
Oh TLI – when will you learn to just stay quiet?
The big investigative threads on the big bjj forums were falling back from the front pages. News of a change to his tax lien charges kind of made the rounds I think last week and you can check that out here I hope:
Lloyd Irvin hit with $1,000,000+ tax lien on Monday – Bloody Elbow

Lloyd Irvin‘s rocky year of 2013 continues with a judgement for the United States of America in the amount of a $1021440.68 tax lien on June 17.
Like I wrote above, I have not been following the tax stuff closely. He built a house of cards financially, it came crashing down. It did sound like a pyramid/marketing/ponzi scheme. My opinion of that stuff is this though – if you are gullible enough to fall for something like that, as in get into it thinking you will make money, with integrity, you deserve whatever you get when you don’t.
But that’s not all. This wasn’t even the big news regarding TLI. This week one of his henchmen, Marcos Avellan I believe, filed a defamation suit against multiple parties.
Avellan claims defamation
A while ago, maybe like 18-24 months ago, an Avellan came out with this revolutionary new defense system (I’m not giving it the glory of mention.) A few of us pooped on it and the marketing tactics used to try and sell it online and well, we got pooped on for speaking our minds.
What up now? Now look. It was an awful system sold on the scarcity hype simply designed to get you to think you had to have it to get a step ahead. Whatever was wrong with it, it all seemed slimy. With no actual interaction, I got the impression Marcos Avellan was unsavory.
He is now suing a few of his former cohorts which you can read about using the link. I don’t know how I feel about them. Wait, I feel like the defamation lawsuit is redonkulous. But I don’t know how I feel about the former partners. They knowingly got into bed with Marcos and the whole pyramid. They were hoping to get that dollar. Only when it started to crumble did these dudes bail. There were a couple of bjj guys that left way ahead of time, in a mini-protest against the wrongdoings. But not any of these 3. Anyways, here’s the scoop:

Tim Credeur has gone all redneck, Duck Dynasty on us.
Back to Credeur. He was a contestant on TUF 7 and that was where I was first exposed to him. I liked him and the way he brought it to fights. I guess you could say he was primarily a grappler being the first bjj black belt in the state of Louisiana. But his mma game evolved slighyl and he was usually willing to slug it out for a bit. He definitely had heart as well. AND he is ex-Navy. Giddy up. Navy guys seem to make great fighters. Just sayin’.
And here is the latest skinny on Credeur – drug and gun charges. A man after my own heart. Always a pirate I guess.

Bjorn Rebney – Bellator CEO, where are you?
I have what I think is the best idea since I don’t know when, um probably fire? But I can’t share it with you. I have to use this idea to make myself rich after someone like Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney hears it and goes basically – “Damn. Here’s $500,000, let’s make it happen.”
They’re just ideas centered around the way the mma game is trained. That is all Ima gonna say. Mario voice.
Someone put him in touch with me please. One of you must rub elbows with him, knowwhatimsayin. No, seriously though, give him my number.
