In this podcast discussion, the focus centers on the relationship between SEO and user experience. While some individuals seek only SEO solutions, it's emphasized that a well-designed and user-friendly website is essential for effective SEO results. The analogy of a salesperson with no successful sales despite numerous calls is used to highlight the importance of a website's structure and content. The conversation delves into indicators suggesting a website's issues might extend beyond SEO. These include the inability to generate leads despite SEO efforts, content not ranking or engaging users, and a website's visual inadequacy compared to competitors. A user-friendly website is described as one with clear language, intuitive navigation, and engaging visuals and videos. It's portrayed as a digital storefront or resume, serving as the foundation for a business's online presence. Content creation is emphasized as a pivotal factor for SEO success. Quality, engagement, and addressing user queries are prioritized over content length. Both SEO and social media platforms assess user engagement to determine content quality and relevance. The overarching advice revolves around creating valuable, engaging content that caters to users' needs while also adhering to SEO best practices.   www.contractorgrowthnetwork.com

Welcome to the 6th Round Retro Post-Fight Show, featuring a look back at UFC 49: Unfinished Business, (last week we covered UFC 84: Ill Will ‘Penn vs. Sherk’). This is the show that digs into the archives and gives you a comprehensive review of classic MMA events, that span as far back as UFC 1. Join Eddie Mercado & Victor Rodriguez of Bloody Elbow as they relive this UFC PPV (Pay-per-view) event this week, complete with results, analysis, and of course a few laughs. On August 21st, 2004, UFC 49: Unfinished Business ‘Vitor Belfort vs. Randy Couture III’, a small eight-fight PPV card, chock full of seven finishes & only one decision - which was split, which continued the UFC’s upward PPV trend with 80,000 Buys that weekend, meaning a live gate of $1,293,035 with 12,100 fans in attendance, went down from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. So, the main event that night showcased a Light Heavyweight Championship Fight. Vitor ‘The Phenom’ Belfort, was defending the title he had achieved by winning their last bout somewhat inconclusively due to a early strike opening a wicked cut on Couture’s eyelid at UFC 46: Supernatural, at just 0:49 in Round 1, which was just a few months back in January of that year. The rematch was one fo the most anticipated of the year. The Natural was entering the octagon with a 11-3 professional record against the man from Brazil, Couture was out to dethrone him in this trilogy bout making it 2-1 in his favor, having initially defeated Beltor at UFC 15: Collision Course in October, 1997. But on this night — “After a bloodbath of ground and pound the Doctor finally intervened. The photos snapped of Couture bathed in Belfort’s blood have become the signature images of “The Natural’ inside the cage.” On the main card we also had a performance from Chuck ‘The Iceman’ Liddell, who had recently stomped Mr. Tito Ortiz via Punches in just 0:32 of R2 at UFC 47: It’s On! back in November, 2003. This should really should have been the co-main event. Liddell was coming in on a solid 13-3 record, and simply destroyed his opponent, Vernon ‘Tiger’ White via a Punch at 4:05 of Round 1. Also that night, on the prelims card we got to watch Chris Lytle climb to a 17-10 record when he subbed his opponent, Ronald Jhun with a sweet guillotine choke at 1:17 of Round 2. We also had up-and-comer, Stockton bad boy, Nick Diaz, catching a loss due to a split decision against Karo ‘The Heat’ Parisyan early on in the night. Let’s take a look at the card, complete with fight results: Main Card: MAIN EVENT TITLE FIGHT: Randy Couture DEF. Vitor Belfort via KO/TKO-Doctor Stoppage at 5:00 of Rd 3 of 5, Total 15:00 - 205 lbs Co-Main: Joe Riggs DEF. Joe Doerksen via SUB-Elbows at 2:39 of Rd 2 - 185 lbs Chuck Liddell DEF.

Javier Mendez Co-Owner/Advisor and Founder of AKA Former World Champion Kickboxer Founder of AKA Head trainer & Coach for Team AKA Official coach on the UFC Ultimate Trainer video game Javier Mendez started training in martial arts in 1978, studying the discipline of Tang Soo Do. Mendez started his kickboxing career in 1985 in exhibition bout against Bill “Superfoot” Wallace, after which he began his pro kickboxing career. Shortly thereafter he established American Kickboxing Academy out of Capital Glass Shop and started training with a small contingent of students. After fighting his way through the kickboxing ranks, Mendez won his first world championship in 1992 when he became the ISKA Light-Cruiserweight Champion. After defending the title for two years, Mendez moved up in weight and won the ISKA Light Heavyweight Championship in 1995. Mendez would also train several amateur and pro kickboxing champions such as pro champions like Travis Johnson, Jerome Turcan, Jean-Claude Leuyer. His amateur champions include Derek Yuen and Gary Owens. In 1996, Mendez had his first foray into the world of mixed martial arts, when local UFC fighter Brian Johnston sought out Mendez to help him improve his kickboxing ability. Mendez then found his new career, becoming a MMA trainer. Mendez would train his first UFC champion in 1997, when Frank Shamrock would join American Kickboxing Academy. Mendez would be his trainer until his first retirement, which included being in his corner for his perfect 5-0 UFC run as UFC Middleweight Champion. Mendez's next big star would be B.J. Penn, whom was already a highly respected grappler but needed to learn how strike and become a complete fighter. Under Mendez, Penn would win his first three fights by knockout, earning the young fighter a title shot against then UFC Lightweight Champion Jens Pulver. Although unsuccessful in his attempt to become champion, Penn's training with Mendez would lay the foundation for his successful UFC run down the road. Mendez would slowly build his stable of MMA fighters, which initially included Bobby Southworth, Josh Thomson, Mike Swick, Paul Buentello, Jon Fitch and Mike Kyle, all who would eventually find themselves in the UFC at some point in their careers. After the success of the Ultimate Fighter and with MMA booming, more fighters would seek Mendez's tutelage like Ultimate Fighter standout Josh Koscheck. More and more fighters would join AKA's stable of MMA fighters like Trevor Prangley, Phil Baroni, Nate Moore, Justin Wilcox, Kyle Kingsbury, Luke Rockhold, Cung Le, Mark Ellis, Daniel Cormier and Cain Velasquez. Mendez would also prepare former Heisman trophy winner Herschel Walker for his MMA career, training him and cornering for all his fights so far. Many of AKA's fighters would go on to win various championships in several different MMA organizations. In King of the Cage; Daniel Cormier would claim the heavyweight title and Mike Kyle winning the light heavyweight title. In Strikeforce alone, several of Mendez's fighters won several championships titles; Cung Le becoming the middleweight champion by stopping former Mendez trainee Frank Shamrock; Josh Thomson becoming the lightweight champion; Bobby Southworth becoming the light heavyweight champion and Luke Rockhold as the Strikeforce Middleweight title. Last but not least is Cain Velasquez, who became the UFC Heavyweight Champion at UFC 121 by stopping then champion Brock Lesnar with strikes. In 2015, Javier became the ONLY trainer to have 3 concurrent UFC Champions (Heavyweight – Cain Velasquez, Light Heavyweight – Daniel Cormier, Middleweight – Luke Rockhold). Mendez has built up AKA to be one of the more respected MMA camps in the world and he isn't done yet, having many young fighters in the pipeline to become the next MMA stars.
