If there’s a sport more incomprehensible to outsiders than kabaddi then I’m yet to come across it. This Indian sport is like one of those games you invent as a kid with rules that evolve as you play except this is played in multiple countries. Essentially, from a team of seven players, one member must run into the opposing half of the pitch and wrestle players to the ground and then return to his own half without being tackled himself. Sounds sensible enough right? Well, while the ‘raider’ is returning to his own half and trying to avoid being tackled, he must also chant ‘kabaddi’ repeatedly without taking a breath. If he breathes or is tackled before getting back onto his own half, he is out.

Part-time WHOA TV! commentator and full time heavyweight badass Neil Grove has booked tickets to India but I imagine if I asked him if he was going to India to take part in a kabaddi tournament but he would just laugh at me with his booming South African voice and tell me he was instead going over to hand Todd Duffee his third straight loss. That’s right, Todd Duffee vs Neil Grove is going down on SFL 2 in Chandigrath, India on April 7th. This fight will be broadcast free on YouTube with the rest of the Super Fight League card it features on but I’m pretty sure I would pay money to see both this fight and Neil Grove competing in kabaddi. Ken Pavia, make it happen.

Dude is 26 years old. That's younger than me! Fucking pathetic. The amount of cheating in this sport is absurd.

Yeah, there's a lot of cheating in sports in general, but MMA is MY sport, I don't really care about any of the others.

Great fight in prospect. This SFL project could very easily blow up and become huge in India, and if so, Duffee would be the main reason. The guy is a marketing mans dream. Hopefully all goes to plan and he gets past Grove.

He'll probably get dropped somewhat like his DYNAMITE 2010 fight. He hasn't left the first round much and has only suffered two losses. I think he'll come in a little too hot and take a nap.
