Njengoba sazi ukuthi kungcono isizini yentela, kungcono isikhathi kuhle ukukhumbula ukuthi zikhona iziqinisekiso ezintathu ekuphileni: ukufa, izintela Ronda Rousey waphinda okubonisa ukuthi kungani yena iyona fighter umhlabeleli female osemhlabeni nge yokudilizwa lokuqala nxazonke isitha sakhe.

Ukusebenza Rousey sika at UFC 184 ngenyanga edlule kwaba abachwepheshile iphole. SHE sithunyelwe Cat inaliti, ithathwa kabanzi inselele enkulu Rousey sika njengoba, in 14 seconds. Nakuba Rousey kwaba esizwa iqhinga ngokuphelele enyantisayo by Zingano, ukusebenza kwakhe virtuoso yaholela kwenye ingxoxo onesifo yini edingekayo ukuze dethrone Rousey. Liphinde kwaholela engxoxweni engenangqondo noma cha Rousey babekwazi ukuncintisana ngokumelene futhi ukuhlulwa fighters abesilisa UFC sika bantamweight division. Isikhathi esingaphansi esichithwa lowo mbono okungenangqondo ukuthi efeza lutho kodwa uzama ukuliveza lingamanga fighter omkhulu Rousey kuyinto, ngcono.

Kunjalo, igama lokuqala njalo iza kuyinto Cris "Cyborg" UJustino, the Invicta FC featherweight iqhawe. Kulindeleke ukuba lehle ku 135 amakhilogremu for a fight with Invicta kuleli hlobo ngaphambi kokudlulela nilwe Rousey. Nokho, Cyborg ukubulala iconsi ukuba bantamweight ngonyaka odlule futhi washiywa labo izinhlelo. Ngakho Bengingeke ukubamba umoya wami phezu eside elindelwe igqubu umdlalo phakathi Rousey futhi Cyborg kwenzekani sifike maduze.

Muva Rousey waveza isifiso ukulwa Bethe Correia, ashaya amabili "Four Horsewomen" nabalingani Rousey kanye bekulokhu ebiza Rousey out selokhu.

Ngesikhathi Ukusabalala UFC 184 sika postfight, Daniel Cormier wahamba umqondo ka uzakwabo Miesha Tate ukuthola ufa lwesithathu Rousey.

Ngaphandle Ngicabanga ukuthi trilogies kufanele reserved kuphela uma fighter ngalinye ukunqoba phezu kwezinye, Angisiboni isizathu esenza okwesithathu bekungaba charm for Tate. Nakuba ibe nguye owesifazane kuphela ukuya ngaphezu emzuliswaneni wokuqala kanye Rousey, Tate uye plateaued empini ngesikhathi Rousey uye ayithole kangcono. Uma ababili kwakumelwe ukulwa okwesithathu, Angisiboni isizathu sokukholelwa umphumela kungaba yisiphi ezahlukene.

Ngakho Siphi Rousey? Ngombono wami, uye ayeka bantamweight amadivishini UFC yabesifazane. Akukho lowo uyingozi obuphathekayo wakhe. Uma Zingano kushintshwe isu lakhe futhi wathola esinye shot at Rousey, angahle abe nethuba lokuwina. Beyond ukuthi, uma Rousey wanquma ukuphuma phezulu nokwakhela film echumayo career yakhe, Angicabangi umuntu uyibambe ngokumelene wakhe.

Rousey okwamanje on a run lifana run Anderson Silva sika phezu UFC sika middleweight division. Yena wabusa wonke umuntu endleleni yakhe futhi ngaphandle impi yakhe yokuqala kanye enku- Sonnen, Kwakungijabulisa ukubheka lula. Mpi Rousey sika kunzima suku ngokumelene Liz Carmouche, lapho yena kwadingeka Rousey in a ezingemuva naked binda emzuliswaneni wokuqala mpi zabo 2013 ngaphambi Rousey wakwazi ukubaleka futhi baqinisekise omunye ukunqoba armbar.

Wokubusa Silva sika phezu division middleweight kwaphela lapho ngaphambili ayaziwa Chris Weidman wafika wabonisa Ungesabi futhi wathatha empini Silva. Mhlawumbe yilokho okudingeka kwenzeke Rousey.

Ngokuvamile lapho mina bazibuza lowo mbuzo, kungcono in the ngemva nombono pay-per-futhi ngiyakujabulela ezibuza ngekuphimisela yini olandelayo zabashokobezi ngubani ligcwaliswe kuso. Lesi sikhathi emhlabeni, Ngikhuluma ngento esithinta Abaculi Zonke exubile amasosha e-Championship Ultimate Fighting.

The UFC umemezele lokhu sonto ukuthi kuyoba nokuqalisa eqinile kude, kude olunzulu more izidakamizwa ukuhlolwa ngemva fighters like Anderson Silva futhi Hector Lombard ukuhlolwa ukwehluleka for izidakamizwa ezinikeza (PEDs), ngenkathi Jon Jones futhi Nick Diaz ukuhlolwa kuhlulekile cocaine nensangu, ngokulandelana.

Izidakamizwa Ukwenyuka ukuhlolwa kanye nezinhlawulo sibi kungasiza UFC kuphela, futhi karate bebonke okuxubile. Kodwa yini ngempela eyabangela ngale ukwanda ekuhlolweni wehluleka? PEDs bebelokhu ingxenye yezemidlalo eside ngaphambi MMA fighters waqala ukuthatha kwabo, futhi baye inkinga MMA ngaphambi zokugcina ezingu-futhi-a-nesigamu.

Kodwa kubonakala fighters more ukuba ukubanjwa. Njengoba kwezemidlalo iningi, kukhona owawudinga ingcindezi ukwenza MMA futhi the UFC. Uma bangenzi, wena ngokuyisisekelo abakhokhelwa. Isidingo kwandisa UFC izinhlelo esenziwa deal yayo kanye FOX Kungase isici. Baya ekubeni on Spike TV – lapho kuphela ukusakaza "The Ultimate Fighter" kanye ngonyaka futhi bukhoma impi amakhadi amabili noma amathathu ngonyaka – cishe kokuba ezimbili bukhoma impi amakhadi ngenyanga futhi angabiki "The Ultimate Fighter" kabili ngonyaka eziteshini FOX.

Ukwenyuka izinhlelo kusho isidingo izidumbu ukugcwalisa leso izinhlelo. Kusho ukuthi fighters more baqeqesha for balwa, okungaholela ukulimala more. PEDs, ngaphezu akunika yona inzuzo yokuncintisana phezu isitha sakho, zikuvumela ukuba alulame ngenxa yokulimala ngokushesha. With the isidingo fighters more ukugcwalisa mpi amakhadi more, Ngicabanga ukuthi kungenzeka ukwenyuka kwezinga lalezi ukuhlolwa kwezidakamizwa emzimbeni yehlulekile okungenani kube ngokwengxenye ashiwo ukuthi.

Ukwanda kokusetshenziswa-testing izinyathelo The UFC sithathe nomphumela July 1. Yini esingayilindela uma enza? Nazi ezinye iziqondiso the UFC wethule.

Ngisho UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta wavuma ngesikhathi press conference kuleli sonto ukuthi izinto "zaziyoba zimbi nakakhulu ngaphambi kokuba kangcono 'ukuhlolwa entsha. Okuningi, it kusazobonakala kangakanani yalesi impela anamathele once July 1 ugicita emhlabeni. UFC ngaphambilini kubhekwe uyanda imizamo yayo izidakamizwa-testing phambi kodwa wadonsa emuva, izindleko bephawula kanye ngaphambilini botched umzamo ukwenza kanjalo.

Nokho, kanye ukuqubuka ephezulu profile izinkanyezi like Silva, Jones and Diaz ukuhlolwa ukwehluleka, izindleko angeke kubhekwe isithiyo kanye UFC kumele baqaphe. Ukupheqa Twitter feed yami kulandela sabezindaba, kwaba eerily ethule. Cishe akukho fighters kuhlaziywe in waqale. Kungenzeka kwaba ukuthi nje eceleni of the sabezindaba ezenzeka a ngoLwesithathu ntambama, lapho iningi labantu abasebenza noma mhlawumbe ube ezinye izinto ukwenza ngaphandle post on Twitter. Kodwa kwaba namanje kwamambala pretty. Kubonakala okunjengalokhu kwangenza nganaka kakhudlwana fighters ', njengoba kufanele.

Yini Ngicabanga ngeke kwenzeke? Kuzoba ukwanda test wahluleka kanye izinyathelo emisha yokuthwebula izithombe ithatha nomphumela July 1, Ngikhathazekile kwetfulwe beqiniseka. Kodwa uma ucabangela ukuthi UFC usekela izinhlawulo elibuhlungu kulabo abenza fail – kuhlanganise ukuvinjelwa iminyaka ezine – Ngilindela fighters elingcolile ekugcineni umjikelezo ngokwabo out and the ones Are ukuncintisana ahlanzekile (okuyinto iningi labo, mhlawumbe) ukuthatha indima lidlondlobala.

Izidakamizwa Ukwanda ukuhlolwa kade in the UFC. Umdlalo ubuciko exubile karate ngokwako isencane isakhasa, ikakhulukazi uma kuqhathaniswa neminye imidlalo like football, basketball and baseball. Kodwa like nje baseball is uyalulama kusukela nenhlekelele yayo siqu PEDs, lezi ukuhlolwa kwezidakamizwa emzimbeni yamuva wehluleka ziye Inyakazisé isisekelo UFC futhi harkened emuva ezinsukwini lapho kubhekiselwa kuye ngokuthi "cockfighting womuntu."

UFC bamukela kwesiqubulo esithi "The Time Is Now" for 2015, futhi angikwazanga avumelane ngaphezulu. Isikhathi manje ngabo azohola ekuhlanzeni sport of arts exubile karate.

ubuciko bokulwa exubile, UFC, yabesifazane MMA

Dana White and the Women

Shiya amazwana

Saturday, Feb. 28, kuzoba usuku mlando Ultimate Fighting Championship. Zonke fighters ekhadini pay-per-umbono ngalolo suku ngeke kudlule pre-mpi zabo izidakamizwa ...... ingqondo .Masingalokothi. Lokho kulula kakhulu.

That day will be the first time a UFC card features women’s bouts in both its co-main event and main event. After middleweight champion Chris Weidman was forced to withdraw from his fight against Vitor Belfort due to injury, the new main event at UFC 184 is Ronda Rousey defending her women’s bantamweight belt against Cat Zingano. In the umcimbi co-main, much-heralded prospect Holly Holm will make her UFC debut against Raquel Pennington in another women’s bantamweight fight.

As I’ve mentioned before, UFC has come a long way from when Dana White told TMZ that women would “never” fight in his organization. Rousey will main event her third consecutive February PPV and Holm is widely believed to be the next in line for a shot at the title, should she defeat Pennington. Holm namanje raw kakhulu ubuciko okuxubile bokulwa, kodwa eqeqesha nezwe abaqeqeshi odumile Greg Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn.

Rousey Siyanda ifulege for MMA besifazane futhi abesifazane ukuthi UFC. Ezenye fighters female baye balandela wakhe wangena Octagon, kuhlanganise Miesha Tate, Liz Carmouche and Alexis Davis. Yini labo ezintathu enifana? Bonke futhi wawela Rousey - Tate kabili Strikeforce and the UFC, futhi Carmouche futhi Davis kokubili emzuliswaneni wokuqala at UFC PPVs e 2013 futhi 2014, ngokulandelana.

Rousey futhi Tate sika umbango kahle yabonisa. It kwaholela abaqeqeshi ababili on The Ultimate Fighter, eyayihlanganisa fighters besifazane ngokokuqala ngqa ngubani outshined kakhulu nozakwabo besilisa on the show ukuthi isizini.

Njengoba sazi impumelelo ukuthi isikhathi sonyaka, isizini yamuva iningi The Ultimate Fighter iyavela BONKE fighters female kanye DEBUT of division the UFC olusha olwakhiwayo lwemikhumbi, strawweight yabesifazane. Carla Esparza, yangaphambili Invicta FC strawweight iqhawe, wawina UFC version mcimbi of ukuthi ibhande emva ukwehlula Rose Namajunas.

Ngakho span iminyaka emine, UFC isuka ekubeni akukho fighters female and White sigcizelele esibeka ukuthi asisoze, ekubeni ekhaya EZIMBILI female isisindo amakilasi futhi ngokungangabazeki star enkulu ekugqugquzeleni njengamanje e Rousey. Ningakholwa yimi? Ingabe ubona owesithathu Expendables movie? Noma ohlela ebona version ifilimu Entourage kuleli hlobo? Ungase uphawule othile engimaziyo.

Pho MMA yabesifazane hamba lapho kusuka lapha? I am uqobo a fan enkulu ukulwa female, as they tend to be among the more entertaining and action-packed fights on a UFC card. As I previously stated, female fighters are more than capable of outshining their male contemporaries. Why is that? Maybe female fighters feel they have more to prove inside the Octagon and always go for broke. Maybe they go into the Octagon with more of a “go for broke” mentality and actively seek a finish as opposed to “playing it safe.”

The fight between Rousey and Zingano on Feb. 28 will also go a long way toward determining the future of women’s MMA. Should Rousey defeat Zingano – which all signs indicate she will – she will have essentially cleaned out her division, with only unknown challengers like Holm and Bethe Correia left. If Zingano pulls the upset, then the division has a fresh batch of exciting matchups waiting.

But who knows what would have happened if Dana White kept his promise to TMZ?

As mentioned above, Gastelum weighed in 9 pounds over for this fight and will forfeit 30 percent of his purse directly to Woodley. It was reported that Gastelum spent time in the hospital leading up to this fight, which contributed to him coming in overweight.

Woodley will be angry in this fight, futhi kufanele. Akulungile ukuthi imbangi yakhe uyoba sethubeni isisindo ngenxa yokwehluleka kwakhe siqu ukuba enze lokho okufanele bakwenze. Nikeza Woodley credit zokufuna ukuba balwe lapho bekuzoba kuyaqondakala ngokuphelele ukuhlehlisa kwalo.

Woodley ngeke kuqondiswe ukufutheka kwakhe ibe blitzkrieg lokucasula at Gastelum, kanye Gastelum lethargic futhi mhlawumbe namanje-abalimele bayoba engasabeli.

Winner: Woodley yesibili nxazonke TKO

Anderson "The Spider" Silva (33-6) vs. Nick Diaz (27-9-1) (Middleweight - 185 lbs.)

Lona omunye izenzakalo eziningana eziyinhloko eziye ukulwa abalandeli kuyachwaza e 2015. Abaningi abazange bacabange Silva uyoke ukuhamba emva emlenzeni wakhe yokulimala ngokumelene Weidman, ingasaphathwa babuyele UFC ukulwa. Isitayela matchup of Diaz ngilangazelela ibenze ijubane, uthole ebusweni abaphikisi bakhe bese sucker wamyisa Ukuhweba Amagalelo ngomkhuba wokuzifihla Silva sika esingenakuqhathaniswa kuyoba ezithakazelisayo ukubukela.

Kodwa uma Silva egcina bobbing kanye ukwelukwa futhi dodging punches Diaz sika, Sizobona esingakanani Diaz bophezela ukuthi. Ngicabanga ukuthi uzobona Silva amagilebhisi kule mpi, okwenza Diaz bheka silly e ezinye izindawo ngenkathi kokufika iziteleka kahle usheshile ukukwenza lokho ngeke ukudida futhi zishafise Diaz, okuyokwenza Silva nomhlaba ngisho nangokwengeziwe.

UFC Fight Night: The Swedish ziyeza!

Ezweni once yawenza in a Tom Green (khumbula kuye?) song – "Lonely Swedish (The Bum Bum Song)” – the Championship Ultimate Fighting uletha Night ikhadi Fight ukuthi ngeke ngethemba ukuletha ukunakekelwa ngaphezu ingoma imbongolo waseCanada sika.

The FOX ikhadi lokuqala onyakeni omusha, UFC Fight Night: Sweden, kuletha esiteji FOX kwezilwandle kazwelonke kanye unikeza America amazwibela ukwandiswa the UFC sika okuqhubekayo kwezilwandle. Kodwa ngokungafani UFC amakhadi kwezilwandle odlule, lena akuyona iDemo amandla star. Ake sibone uma ukusika ecacile-akukho. 1 Olwa isihloko wesibhakela ukukhanya Jon Jones 'kuzovela.

Akira Corassani (16-4-1) vs. Sam Sicilia (13-5) (Featherweight - 145 lbs.)

Lena matchup of The alumni Ultimate Fighter, kanye kokubili guys ephuma ukulahlekelwa futhi Corassani iza off emuva kuya emuva ukulahlekelwa Max Holloway futhi Dustin Poirier. Corassani’s also been finished early in both fights, while Sicilia is coming off a submission loss. In a crowded featherweight division, a knockout or submission victory would go a long way toward boosting either of these gentlemen’s stock. I like Sicilia to finish Corassani and possibly give him his walking papers after three straight losses.

Winner: Sicilia by second-round TKO

Phil “Mr. Wonderful” Davis (13-2) vs. Ryan “Darth” Bader (19-4) (Light Heavyweight – 205 lbs.)

Both of these guys are poised for another run at the top of the light heavyweight division. Both of these guys are coming off victories and actually faced each other in college when Davis wrestled for Penn State and Bader wrestled for Arizona State. Davis uses his wrestling to smother opponents and grind out unanimous decision victories, while Bader uses his wrestling when necessary but also has lethal knockout power.

I expect Davis to try and get this fight to the ground early, and if he succeeds I think he can use his reach advantage and athleticism to keep Bader down. Bader must keep this fight standing to have a chance, and I think he will avoid the temptation to avenge his college loss to Davis by engaging in another wrestling match. I like Bader to land more shots and score an upset victory.

Winner: Bader by unanimous decision

Dan “Hendo” Henderson (30-12) vs. Gegard Mousasi (35-5-2) (Middleweight - 185 lbs.)

Henderson returns to middleweight after a mostly ill-fated run at light heavyweight, including being tossed around like a rag doll and submitted by Daniel Cormier in his last fight. Simply put, if Henderson can’t land his patented “H-Bomb” right hand for a knockout, he’s easily susceptible to defeat.

I think the wars of years past are finally catching up to Henderson. He will go down as one of the greatest fighters ever not to hold a UFC title, but he simply can’t keep up with the sport’s elite any more. He will leave himself open when wanting to drop the H-Bomb, and Mousasi will take advantage.

Winner: Mousasi by third-round submission

Alexander “The Mauler” Gustafsson (16-2) vs. Anthony “Rumble” Johnson (18-4) (Light Heavyweight – 205 lbs.)

The winner of this fight will receive the next shot at light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, and it would represent a rematch for Gustafsson. He took Jones closer to defeat than anyone else has during their epic 2013 matchup. Depending on who ask, some people think the Swede actually won that fight.

Johnson is rapidly ascending the 205-pound ladder after knocking out Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and scoring an upset win over Phil Davis to begin his climb. Johnson also has devastating knockout power and if he lands one such shot on Gustafsson, the Swede’s road to redemption is derailed. But I think Gustafsson uses his reach advantage (which is nearly identical to Jones) to keep Johnson at bay and make Johnson go a full five rounds.

Gustafsson’s striking in the 205-pound division is second to none, and I like him to land enough of those to secure a rematch with Jones later this year.

Winner: Gustafsson by unanimous decision

Multiple zabezindaba okukhulunywa Stallings engenile nobuso Hall, okubala MMA Fighting futhi FOX Sports. I afinyelela Stallings mathupha ukubona uma kudale imicabango ambalwa UFC ukubukeka kwakhe okokuqala. Uma ngithola impendulo, Mina ngizoba post nabo kule blog.

UMBIKO WAMUVA: Stallings ehlanganyelwe imicabango abanye nami nge Twitter ngoLwesihlanu ebusuku ngomunye ababeseqenjini lakhe, ngubani esingatha akhawunti yakhe media social.

“Okuhlangenwe nakho kuye kwaba elikhulu kude kangaka kanye UFC uye Bangiphatha kahle kakhulu,” Stallings wathi. Stallings’ Umqeqeshi, Master Lloyd Irvin, wafunda ukuthi isitha Hall ngaphambi ayeka futhi wathintana Sucker Punch Entertainment, ngubani lula Stallings engenile nobuso Hall.

“Leli ithuba ngempela kufezeka iphupho for me, iqembu lami futhi nomndeni wami. I ngempela bheka phambili ekulweni ngeSonto,” Stallings wathi.
