In this video, Van Loo is seen walking from the field and then collapsing at 7 seconds, his legs are seen twitching at 15 seconds as his automatic defibrillator fires to restore his heart rhythm to normal, and then by 21 seconds after the event he regains conciousness and sits up. According to some reports, Van Loo was not allowed to return to soccer unless he had an ICD implanted due to his known cardiac disorder.

The console and game makers keep getting more creative with their controllers; the Wii really opened the floodgates in terms of non-NES-style controllers being unleashed. This one is pretty specific to the game being played (although I guess it would work for other skate / snowboarding games) but looks kind of awesome. I’d be surprised if they put this one out on the floor at Best Buy for you to play with, so I guess I’ll have to get one for myself to really see whether it’s as cool as it looks.

This should be another great fight. Faber is one of the most exciting athletes in MMA, and Brown is a beast in that weight class. June 7th!
