Pagbungkag sa UFC 207 Main Card: Pagpaniid ug Mga Panagna

 

Pinaagi sa: Rich Bergeron

UFC 207 nagtimaan sa dugay na nga gipaabut nga pagbalik sa “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey (12-1) sa usa ka Octagon nga siya kaniadto naghari ingon bantamweight champion. Ang titulo nga gikuha gikan sa Rousey sa dramatiko nga dagway ni Holly Holm karon naa sa palibot sa may kaarang nga hawak ni Amanda Nunes (13-4). Adunay higayon si Rousey nga gision kini ug ibalik kini sa iyang kaugalingon nga hips kaniadtong Disyembre 30th.

Kapin sa usa ka tuig nga wala’y sulod si Rousey, ug nakumpirma na siya dili pa dugay nga ang iyang karera sa nagkasagol nga martial arts hapit na matapos. Bata pa si Nunes, gigutom ug nakapahadlok ingon underdog (+150) nagtan-aw sa paghawid sa iyang bakus batok sa maalamat nga Judoka ug MMA juggernaut. Si Rousey moabut ingon ang paborito sa -185.

Alang sa dugang nga mga paglaum ug pagbisita sa kasayuran sa pagbisita 12BET.

Adunay labi pa nga mga pangutana kaysa mga tubag nga moadto sa kini nga panghitabo sa blockbuster. Mapakyas ba si Rousey sa kalabog sa ring ug makabalik sa himaya? Usa na siya ka lakang padulong sa pagretiro? Mahimo ba nga pahilumon ni Nunes ang iyang mga nagduha-duha ug magpadayon sa pagdaot sa panulundon sa una nga bantog nga kampeon sa bantogweight nga UFC? Bisan unsa ang mahitabo, ang una nga hugna mahimong hinungdanon. Parehong mga babaye mangita nga himuon kini nga usa ka dali nga gabii.

Tagna: Si Rousey mobalik uban ang usa ka panimalos ug nagpakita labi nga gipauswag ang paghampak ug paglaban sa sipa. Ang mga bug-at nga away sa Nunes ug nagrepresentar sa labing maayo nga gitanyag sa Brazil, apan daghan ang napilde ni Ronda. Tingali siya wala’y hingpit nga rekord aron maproteksyonan na usab, apan siya adunay usa ka hingpit nga hinungdan aron makadaog kini nga away. Kinahanglan usab niya nga ipatindog ang iyang kahimtang sa alpha aron isira ang iyang kaugalingon nga mga kritiko ug pamatud-an nga pagbalik siya aron makuha ang iyang titulo. Nagdaug si Rousey pinaagi sa knockout sayo sa ikaduha nga hugna.

Laing titulo nga bantog nga UFC naa sa linya sa co-main event. Dominic Cruz (22-1) naghatag Cody Garbrandt (10-0) usa ka liki sa bakus sa kung unsa ang mahimo nga usa ka tinuod nga slugfest. Bisan kung wala’y nawala si Cody og away ug gipukan ang siyam sa iyang napulo nga mga kaatbang sa karera sa propesyonal nga lebel, Dominic Cruz (-225) nagpadayon sa 13-fight win streak nga nagsugod kaniadtong Marso sa 2008. Garbrandt (+175) nagrepresentar sa usa ka sanglitanan “tsansa sa puncher” dinhi, bisan. Nadaog niya ang iyang katapusang tulo ka away pinaagi sa TKO o knockout. Tanan sila natapos nga pasalamatan sa kusog nga pagsunud sa kusog ni Cody.

Tagna: Ang paghunahuna nga si Cruz usa ka taktikal, manlalaban nga manlalaban, siya molambo samtang ang away mosulud ngadto sa mga lawom nga hugna. Dili makadaog si Garbrandt kung wala’y first round knockout tungod kay ang kasinatian ug hilaw nga talento nga gidala ni Cruz sa hawla talagsaon ug dinamikong. Gihimo niya ang mga pagbag-o sama sa wala’y manlalaban ug gigamit ang kalihokan sa lawas ug ulo nga daw nagpalibog sa matag kaatbang nga iyang giatubang sa miaging mga tuig. Kinahanglan modakop si Cody “Ang Dominator” aron makigsulti kaniya, ug adunay usa ra siya nga hugut aron buhaton kini. Nagdaug si Cruz sa ulahing bahin sa TKO o Unanimous Desisyon.

Usa ka bug-at nga panagsangka tali sa Fabricio Werdum (21-6-1) ug Cain Velasquez (14-2) gipakita usab sa UFC 207. Ang away usa ka rematch sa usa ka UFC 188 gubat tali sa duha ka mga goliath, nga natapos sa Werdum nga nakadaog sa kampiyonato sa kampanya pinaagi sa pagsumite sa ikatulong hugna (Nakurat ang Guillotine).

Kini nga oras sa palibot, Si Velasquez ang gipili nga manlalaban (-210) samtang si Werdum usa ka +170 mahina. Kini usa pa ka brawler vs. taktika match-up, ug mahimo usab kini nga agianan. Nagpakita si Werdum og huyang nga baba batok sa Stipe Miocic, ug pangitaon ni Cain ang matag higayon nga susihon kini.

Tagna: Gipadala ni Velasquez si Werdum sa sulod sa duha ka hugna. Ang paghagit ni Cain labaw sa Werdum, ug dili siya makahimo og sayup nga gipasagdan si Werdum nga mag-away sa kini nga oras. Velasquez ni KO.

Neil Magny (18-5) ug Johny Hendricks (17-5) moabut sa hawla alang sa UFC 207 isip duha sa labing maayong welterweights sa liga. Parehas nga nakasinati og daghang mga pagbag-o sa sport kaniadtong karon, bisan. Si Magny adunay tulo nga away win streak nga gihunong ni Lorenz Larkin sa iyang katapusang away samtang si Hendricks nawala tulo gikan sa iyang katapusang upat ka fights.. Si Hendricks usa ka layo nga pagsinggit gikan sa iyang kaugalingon nga kaugalingon ug usa ka hataas nga paagi gikan sa iyang adlaw sa kampeonato. Gipahid ni Stephen Thompson ang banig sa Hendricks nga nagpadulong sa usa ka brutal nga TKO sa wala pa mosulod si Kelvin Gastelum sa hawla gikan sa kanhi tigdaug ug gidala sa balay ang usa ka unanimous decision human sa tulo ka lisud nga away sa away.

Tagna: Si Magny ang labi ka malig-on ug dinamikong manlalaban, ug si Hendricks dili makakuha sa kadaghan aron maabut ang iyang labing maayo nga power shots. Gipugngan ni Magny si Hendricks’ kauswagan, gipanghimakak ang iyang gisakup nga takedown ug gisumite o hunongon ang kanhing champ sa wala pa ang katapusang kampana. Magny pinaagi sa third-round TKO.

Ang pag-una sa main card usa pa ka away nga naglambigit sa usa ka kanhi kampeon. T.J. Dillashaw (13-3) pakigbisog sa taga panaw John “Kamot nga Bato” Lineker (29-7) sa usa ka bantamweight fight nga mahimong umaabot nga klasiko. Naghatag usa ka kusog si Lineker, gahum ug katukma nga yano makapahingangha sa pagsaksi. Si Dillashaw naglihok sa palibot sa hawla sama sa usa ka tikang sa Ireland, dodging mga pag-atake sama sa usa ka Mexican bullfighter. Gipakita ni Lineker sa iyang katapusang pakig-uban kang John Dodson nga mahimo siya usa ka malimbungon, sa teknikal nga manlalaban usab.

Tagna: Unsa ang T.J. kulang ang kusog ni Lineker: KAHAYAG. Mahibal-an ni Lineker nga makit-an ang iyang sakup sa ikaduhang hugna ug magsugod sa pagsulod sa wala’y katarungan nga depensa ni Dillashaw. Pag-agi sa ikatulong hugna iyang madakpan ang T.J. gipaluyohan ug tapuson ang away sa mga tiil nga adunay usa ka brutal nga serye sa mga pagsuntok, kicks, mga tuhod ug siko batok sa hawla. Lineker pinaagi sa third-round TKO.

Rich Interviews Daniel Weichel:

Veazey to Conor McGregor: I’ll fight you now

Baltimore, MD (Disyembre 6, 2016) – There was much talk throughout the boxing world last week when UFC superstar Conor McGregor received a boxing license from the California State Athletic Commission.

McGregor, widely considered the best mixed martial artist in the world, has been clamoring for a superfight with Floyd Mayweather. The bout would be a traditional boxing match. Talk surrounding Mayweather-McGregor received heavy criticism and it’s highly unlikely an athletic commission would sanction a five division world champion with a 49-0 record against an opponent making his debut.

Kasagaran, debuting boxers face opponents that only have a few professional bouts.

Enter Joey “Bazooka Joe” Veazey.

Living and fighting out of Maryland, the 18-year-old had a successful amateur career and turned pro with a four round decision victory in October. A big ticket seller in his home state, Veazey is an honor student focused on being a star in and out of the ring. While many other young professional boxers would wait for a high profile fight, Veazey is ready to show McGregor he should stick to his own sport.

“The whole boxing world already knows Conor McGregor doesn’t belong in the same ring as Mayweather. I just had my pro debut and he recently got licensed so on paper, that’s an approvable fight by the athletic commission. If he does face me however, I’d prove to the world that he’s not a boxer and end the hype he’s started. He thinks he can just walk into this sport and face the best? That’s not how it works. If you really want to get in the boxing ring, I’d gladly expose you right now because boxing is no joke!"

Veazey’s next fight is scheduled for Enero 13 in Maryland and his promoter Jake Smith of Baltimore Boxing has already discussed licensing McGregor with Maryland State Athletic Commission executives.
