Справа Флойда Мейвезера, Молодший. Vs. CM Punk в клітці UFC

За: Багатий Бержерон

Флойд Мейвезер, Молодший. не робиться бойових дій. Гроші, які він заробив з Конором Макгрегором в односторонньому боксерському поєдинку, буде не дуже легко заробити поза небезпечним світом бойових видів спорту. Здається, пенсія завжди їсть у Флойда, і рано чи пізно він повертається до чергового блокбастеру, який шокує світ.

 

CM Punk потребує жеребкування, щоб зацікавити нас його кар'єрою. Навіть якщо він вибиває постійно живу лайно наступного хлопця, вони годують його в восьмикутнику UFC, Панку ще доведеться багато чого довести. Помістіть його проти Мейвезера у привітанні в поєдинку ММА за боксера світового класу, і зробіть це для мрії для Флойда, яка надає йому всі пільги та спонсорські поступки, які він хоче в контракті.

 

Флойд стане автоматичним аутсайдером, який негайно вийде проти Макгрегора в клітці. Такий претендент, як CM Punk, дає йому більше шансів на бій. Це дає CM панку шанс реально розпочати свою кар'єру, якщо він зможе перемогти Флойда.

 

Справа в тому,, Мейвезер може швидко вивчити спорт змішаних єдиноборств, і з його швидкістю та атлетичністю, враховуючи більш вражаючі варіанти, він насправді може шокувати нас у своєму першому бою з ММА… якщо він дійсно підкріплює свої розмови про боротьбу в клітці діями.

 

Під час туру на боксерський матч, Флойд неодноразово посилався на ідею битися з Макгрегором у клітці після того, як боксерський матч пройшов його шлях. Він не говорить уголос того, що насправді не вважає істинним або могло б бути істинним, якщо вклав у це свої зусилля.

 

Мені пощастило стати на краю кільця поруч із Леонардом Еллербе під час тренувань Мейвезера в Лас-Вегасі років тому.

 

Перш ніж він кидав удари по рукавицях, я запитав його, що йому найбільше подобається у боксі. Я не намагався наблизитися під час великої преси, тому я думаю, що він не сподівався на запитання.

 

Він сидів мовчки, і я не хотів, щоб воно висіло, як поганий пердеть на вітрі. Я ще раз запитав, ще голосніше. Він не дивився на мене, коли тінився з собою. “Все.” нарешті він поступився, а потім він приступив до роботи, щоб показати свою швидкість і вдарити, щоб усі ЗМІ побачили.

 

Включення ліктів, спинки, удари ногою та боротьба в його рутинному режимі можуть створити справжнього монстра з Мейвезера. Також, гроші від боксу, які стежать за ним до клітки, можуть бути величезними як для нього, так і для UFC. У його віці знадобиться маса роботи, щоб адаптуватися до нового виду спорту, але CM Punk як перший суперник ставить планку досить низько, оскільки обидва чоловіки отримують шанс показати свою належність. Give them both a serious training camp, make a reality show out of it, and it could happen.

 

 

 

“Гроші” is already preparing to train in mixed martial arts with UFC Champ Tyron Woodley, and he heaped some praise on both Woodley and McGregor as fighters recently:

 

“So we have to tweak a few things then, take things to that next level. You know I can’t overlook or knock any MMA guy. Tyron is unbelievable. Unbelievable fighter, tough competitor. Конор МакГрегор, he’s a tough competitor, helluva fighter. There’s a lot of tough, rugged guys out there in MMA and I can’t overlook or disrespect those guys.”

 

 

 

The MMA versus Boxing debate has been going on since long before I decided to do my own take on it with a series of radio shows pitting one expert against another. One of my favorites was “Альпініст” John Scully against Ken Shamrock.

 

Не дивно, the debate between these two fighter/trainer experts drifted into Mayweather making the crossover to MMA. This is not a new concept to Floyd. He’s been hearing the critics yap about him never making it in MMA for more than a decade now, always thinking about how he could one day prove his haters wrong.

 

 

Anyone who thinks the best MMA fighter in his weight class demolishes Floyd has never watched him train. What could this guy do with a couple of tune-up fights and a title tilt? How about 9 months of hard training in takedown and submission defense?

 

Everybody and their brother who knows anything about MMA decides to use the argument of all the past boxers who failed at MMA. They remind us all of the freakshow fight involving Randy Couture easily defeating James Toney. Флойд Мейвезер, Молодший. is not only on a different level than James Toney was when he got the chance to fight in the cage, he’s on a different planet.

 

 

Floyd can afford the best trainers, the best of everything really in preparing to enter the UFC Octagon. He will spare no expense in finances and sweat equity in cementing his legacy as the best crossover fighter in the history of the boxing and MMA rivalry. Who has the best true athletes? Mayweather is representing boxing’s best, and he doesn’t have much time left to prove that a world class boxer can dominate the MMA scene with the right approach and strategy.

 

 

 

McGregor did prove that he could give Floyd a few fits in the boxing ring, but on the third fight into a UFC contract that match could happen again in the cage. Floyd just has to show he belongs, but the first step is having the guts to back up his words with actions. He did say on the boxing press tour for the McGregor fight that when he beat McGregor in his own craft, he would go to the UFC and beat Conor in the cage, занадто.

 

 

 

I anticipate aShark Tanktype of negotiation between Mayweather and UFC President Dana White. Floyd will need to get a piece of the promotion itself, access to a wild amount of sponsorship cash, options to collect on media income, and at least $10 million per fight in just base pay. To get the billion dollar contract he envisions, the lawyers will be ironing out the details for as long as Floyd decides he needs to train for his first fight.

 

Floyd could easily rake in $90+ million in sponsorship and media income to make $100 million per fight with Showtime executives in his corner and a familiarity with being in front of the cameras. A five fight deal means there is a 1/2 billion dollar gap unless I am underestimating how much the UFC would give Floyd for base pay. Even if he makes $200 million per fight, the rest would have to come out of the overall corporation itself as equity, which is what Conor McGregor has been asking for.

 

Floyd just has a bigger upside to being an owner/partner and would be a huge asset when it comes to the UFC wanting to promote boxing at some point. He can also bring his fans and everyone who wants to see him get whipped and schooled in the new discipline. He brings eyeballs, extreme attention and money with him wherever he goes. At a $5 billion valuation, the UFC would likely be able to part with a ten percent chunk of the promotion to bring Mayweather officially on board and get him locked in for a long-term deal.

 

 

The other area that Floyd could have a huge impact on is in attracting more boxers to cross over to MMA. We’ve seen football players like Matt Mitrione and Greg Hardy experience virtually immediate success in MMA, so why not a world class boxer like Floyd? 19-0 Pro Boxer Gervonta Davis is already hinting at following his protege Floyd to MMA and says he’s just waiting for Dana White’s phone call. Then there are the heavyweight boxers to think about bringing into the cage, and Word Champion Anthony Joshua is keen on giving it a shot, занадто.

 

 

 

Так, the odds are high that Mayweather steps into the cage to compete by December of this year if you believe one of his most controversial videos to date on the subject:

 

 

Mayweather could be an incredible MMA fighter if given half the chance. He is not a man who takes a challenge like this lightly. He will have the best approach possible to get into cagefighting shape. He will bring all kinds of interest back to the boxing vs. MMA debate and actually might even inspire a whole new phase of that debate. The combat sports world as a whole will benefit if Floyd and the UFC can make this partnership work.

 

 

As for those who think Floyd will get eaten alive, they are certainly entitled to their opinion, but don’t use McGregor’s failure to adapt to boxing as your bar for Floyd. Mayweather will not take on a world class MMA fighter the first time he steps in the cage. He will not bring in the MMA equivalent of Paulie Malignaggi to get up to speed on the sport. He will spare no expense to get the best preparation possible. He’s already showing that to be true by bringing Tyron Woodley on as his official training partner. He will hand pick his first opponent and likely not get any crack at a title until two or three fights go his way.

 

Critics of people who think they can show up to an MMA gym and come out in six weeks at the UFC level will call me crazy, but Floyd truly is an amazing athlete who can quiet his doubters, and he’s not getting any younger. It’s now or never to solve that question of which sport is truly better at crafting the ideal fighter.

American NateThe TrainLandwehr keeps rollinTakes on M-1 Challenge featherweight champion Khamzat Dalgiev at M-1 Challenge 91

Квітня 21, in Saint Petersburg at M-1 Arena

Нейт “The TrainLandwehr is a showman
САНКТ-ПЕТЕРБУРГ, Росія (Березня 19, 2018) – American mixed-martial-arts star Нейт “The TrainLandwehr will compete for his first M-1 Global title, when he takes on red-hot M-1 Challenge featherweight champion Khamzat Dalgiev, в M-1 Challenge 91 main event at the new M-1 Arena in Saint Petersburg, Росія.
M-1 Challenge 91 will be live-streamed from Russia in high definition on www.M1Global.TV. Глядачі зможуть спостерігати попередні бої і основної картки, зайшовши на реєстрацію на www.M1Global.TV. Шанувальники можуть спостерігати за всіма діями на своїх комп’ютерах, а також на Android і Apple, смартфонів і планшетів. M-1 Challenge 90 є available onwww.FITE.TV(preliminary card is free, $7.99 for the main card).
The 29-year-old Landwehr (10-2-0, М-1: 2-0-0), who fights out of Clarksville, Теннессі, made his M-1 Global debut last September at M-1 Challenge 83, коли він зупинився Mikhail Korobkov on punches in the second round. Landwehr’s last fight was this past November at M-1 Challenge 85, at which he won a split decision over Viktor Kolesnik.
Since his first fight in Russia, Landwehr has developed into one of M-1 Global’s most popular fighters, largely due to his fan-friendly fighting style, as well as his showmanship. He made his own promo video, talks trash at press conferences, and broke out into anass whoopingsong after his fight.
The Trainnever takes a step backwards, trading punches with his opponent from the opening bell, which often results in spectacular fights for MMA fans.
Landwehr (вище) is an all-around fighter who can ground or pound
Dalgiev (10-1-0, М-1: 7-1-0), Росії, виграв 10 fights in a row since he lost his pro debut in 2014. Last November at M-1 Challenge 86, Dalgiev turned in a shocking performance, knocking out longtime M-1 Challenge featherweight champion Іван Buchinger in the opening round with a thunderous punch that made him an instant star.
Able to defeat his opponent in a variety of ways, Dalgiev has won five fights by submission with three knockouts, including five opening-round stoppages. If rising to the occasion is his forte, Dalgiev should be sky high to fight Landwehr in one of the most anticipated M-1 Global showdowns in years.

Dalgiev (вище) put Buchinger to sleep in the first round to capture the coveted M-1 Challenge featherweight title (нижче)

All fighters and fights are subject to change. Additional main and full preliminary card bouts will soon be announced.

“LFA 37 will continue our exciting history in South Dakota that began with the RFA in August 2014,” Встановлений Соарес. “We brought the first sanctioned MMA event to the state at RFA 17, we hosted the first MMA world title fight in the state, and now we will bring the first women’s world title fight to ‘The Mount Rushmore Stateat LFA 37.
Tickets will go on sale at 10 am cst на Вівторок 3-20-18 через Ticketmaster.com
Bice (8-1) is widely considered one of the top flyweight prospects in MMA as well as one of the best fighters to hail from “Державний Гора Рашмор”. The Winner, South Dakota native, who wrestled collegiately in Sioux Falls at Augustana University, made a successful return to his homestate after signing with LFA last year. “Sid Viciouswon both of his fights for LFA in Sioux Falls by establishing his signature frenetic pace that he uses to outclass his opponents with movement, dominant wrestling, and precise striking. The 28-year-old Factory X Muay Thai product, who is based in Denver, now looks to win gold in his home state at LFA 37.
Перес (6-1) is a former Olympian and Cuban national wrestling team member. The 34-year-old began competing on Cuba’s national team at international tournaments when he was 17-years-old. This included competing at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Китай. “Super Maikelalso represented Cuba at the 2009 World Championships and the 2006 і 2009 Pan American Championships. Perez took the gold medal at 60 kg at the 2009 Pan American Championships. Перес, who trains at Kings MMA in southern California, now looks to add more gold to his trophy case at LFA 37. He will get that chance in front of the same fans he impressed last summer at LFA 19.
Mazo (4-0) is one of MMA’s breakout stars of 2017. The 20-year-old Colombian signed with LFA when she was 19-years-old and quickly burst onto the global scene last April at LFA 9. This happened when she knocked out 82nd Airborne Army veteran Jamie Thorton with a jaw-dropping head kick that went viral and was featured on every major MMA website as well as mainstream outlets such as USA Today. The Kings MMA product, who trains alongside Perez, then doubled-down in her sophomore appearance for LFA by knocking out Minnesota National Guard member Linsey Williams with another first round head kick. The “Colombian Queenis now looking for her crown and perhaps a hat trick head kick KO courtesy of one of the most lethal high kicks in MMA.
Sinn (5-5) is one of the most physically imposing women in the flyweight division. Her statuesque physique, aggressive fighting style, and technical grappling have made her a fan favorite. The Colorado native also happens to train alongside two of the best female fighters in the world, UFC women’s strawweight champion Rose Namajunas and UFC women’s flyweight #1 contender Valentina Shevchenko. Sinn’s world-class training partners, take-on-all-comers mentality, and relentless work ethic has allowed the 38-year-old Coloradan to enjoy a career resurgence that includes back-to-back wins over the 2016 RFA FansChoice “Проспект Рік” Katy Collins as well as former LFA title challenger Heather Bassett. She now looks for her crowning moment by capturing LFA gold.
LFA 37 will feature the fourth championship doubleheader to take place in the state of South Dakota as well as the first-ever women’s world title fight to take place inside “Державний Гора Рашмор”. The first three championship doubleheaders (six overall title fights) were contested under the RFA banner.
RFA visited South Dakota a total of four times and produced an incredible amount of talent at those four events. Ten fighters went on to compete for the UFC and five more would go on to fight for Bellator. Christos Giagos, Luke Sanders, Девін Кларк, Geane Еррера, Халіл Раунтрі, Метью Лопес, Terrion товари, Jordan Johnson, Joe Gigliotti, and Brian Camozzi are the ten fighters that competed for the RFA in South Dakota before signing with the UFC. Джастін Лоренс, Відзначити Дикман, Франциско Франція, Леандро Higo, and Logan Storley are the five fighters that competed for the RFA in South Dakota before signing with Bellator.
RFA 37 was the final RFA event in the state of South Dakota, before the merger, and it was featured on UFC President Dana White’s hit reality show Dana White: LookinFor A Fight. Five fighters from that event were signed to the UFC and another two signed with Bellator. That includes every fighter that won on the main card and another fighter that won on the undercard. LFA 37 looks to continue this tradition of success in the state.
