BELLATOR NATION INVITED TO EXCLUSIVE FAN FEST DURING BELLATOR NYC FIGHT WEEK

 

MEET MMA LEGENDS TITO ORTIZ AND ROYCE GRACIE ON VENDREDO, JUNIO 23 AT DAVE & BUSTER’S TIMES SQUARE

Known as one of the toughest competitors in MMA, Tito Ortiz is a fan-favorite across the world.

Reebok Ribelo povus Revolucii MMA kiel Ni Scias Ĝin

De: #Ri?a Bergeron

Vi scias la Reebok batalo estas akiranta varmigita kiam homojn estas ruiniganta la terminojn de la interkonsento ambaŭ figuratively kaj LAŬVORTE:

UFC Malpeza Konkuranto Myles “Furiozo” Ĵurio vere ĵetis lia Reebok ilaro en la forĵetaĵo ĵus faras punkton en Pepi poŝton kiu havis UFCan Kapon Honcho Dana “La Baldfather” Blanka krianta faŭlan.

Kio estis pli diranta pri la okazaĵo, Tamen, Estis “Onklo Dana” Ne intervenanta puni la ĉagreniĝita batalanton por lia maltimida disrespect de grava UFC komerca partnero. Tio ĉi estis vojkruciĝa momento por la “Reebok Ribelo.”

Kio povis Dana fari, Post kiam ĉiuj? Myles estis efektive tiranta paĝan rajton ekstere de la UFCa Prezidanto’s propra merkatumada manlibro. Ĵurio estis estanta en-via-vizaĝa ofensivo vendi lian argumenton. Dana faras tion ĉiu tago.

Pli alta-profilaj batalantoj are consistently rubbing Mr. Blanka la malĝusta vojo ĉi tiuj tagoj Kiam ĝi venas al la Reebok interkonsento, Kaj kvankam li donis Ĵurion kaj Donald “Vakero” Cerrone transludo por ilia lastatempa kritiko, Li mordis reen kontraŭ la ŝatas de Brandon Schaub.

Tie povas esti malsama speco de piroteknikoj en julio kiam ĉi tiu kruda interkonsento oficiale prenas efikon kaj ĉiuj la batalantoj kiu surmetas’t konsentas kun Schaub kaj Ĵuria komenco konscii ilia shortsightedness. Some of those UFC fighters might even regret not joining their peers on the unofficial public picket line when it might have actually mattered.

La plej malbona parto pri ĉi tiu tuta fiasko estas la altempigo. La Federala Komerca Komisiono estas ankoraŭ foje laŭdire prienketanta la UFC En la maldormo de serio de alta-profila Klaso-Ago Anti-Fidaj plendoj volvanta ilian vojon tra la civilaj tribunaloj.

It’s hard not to question whether the world’s most powerful mixed martial arts promotion is overstepping its bounds in the way they are trying to control every aspect of a fighter’s career. It seems like a really bad deal to exchange a little bit of money and the right to fight under the UFC banner for the blood, sweat and tears it takes to stay at the top of the MMA game these days. Even to be at the middle of the pack in the UFC is a heck of a challenge. Batalantoj devi esti komencanta demandi sin mem kiam la amasigita ŝvelaĵajn kontuziĝojn, Delokigoj, Ŝirita ligamentojn, Rompita ostojn kaj concussions fariĝita tiel malbone ke la mono doesn’t afero anymore.

Kio okazos kiam tajdan ondon de eksaj UFCaj batalantoj eltrovas ke la gloro de batalis iliajn korojn ekstere por la fervoruloj isn’t paganta la kalkulojn kaj/aŭ sendanta iliajn infanojn al altlernejo? Kio okazas kiam la cushy kuraca priraportado eksvalidiĝas kaj via legenda batalanta statuso signifas nenion al la doktoroj kaj la hospitalo fakturanta vin skandalaj kaj astronomiaj kotizoj teni vin sana sufiĉa vivi al malnova aĝo?

Demandi Marc Coleman. Ĝi’s ne sufiĉe.

La pli la UFCa batalo aŭ fluga ekvacio ĝiradoj al havanta neniun liberecon esti entreprenisto kaj neniu kapableco konstrui vian propran markon, La pli Scott Coker’s telefono estas iranta daŭri sonoradi de la hoko. Almenaŭ en Bellator, Batalantoj ankoraŭ povas havi iliajn proprajn proprajn sponsorojn sur ilia shorts.

Ili surmetas’t ĵetas ĉiuj iliaj batalantoj ekstere por perdanta kelkajn batalojn en disputo, Aŭ. Ili surmetas’t publike kondamnas iliajn batalantojn ĉe poŝto-batala gazetaro konferencoj por ne metanta sur rezulto. Ili pagas kion ili povas, Kaj ili fari ilian plej bonan nur esti konsiderita UFCan konkursanton.

Phil Davis may be the first of many UFC defectors that could begin to trickle in if this Reebok deal eliminates as much income and opportunity as it sounds like it will.

Mi estas efektive seniluziigita ke Viacom isn’t faranta pli grandan puŝon akiri pli da UFCajn batalantojn kun pli da profitaj kontraktoj, Sed ne komerca deziras perdi monon. Ĝi’s pli malfacila por Bellator akiri masivajn enspezojn en reveno por iliaj investoj en iliaj batalantoj pro la supre fari ilian propran produktadon por libera televido. Ankoraŭ, Samtempe, Coker kaj Bellator’s nuna administrado ŝajnas efektive zorgi malgrandan plion pri la homoj kiu ja batalas sub ilia rubando. Ili scias pli bonan ol iu ajn ke viaj sponsoroj vere povas teni vin viva.

Fighters who value their freedom and want a little more control over their careers might start to see the only UFC competition as a much greener pasture in the wake of this sneaker giant’s exclusive apparel contract. Kio estas supozita simili gravan paŝan avanulon por la UFC efektive povus reprezenti tri paŝojn reen por ĉi tiu organizo kiu estas jam luktanta kun nuligita kaj prokrastita batalojn ŝuldata unuavice al kreskanta kvanto trejni vundojn ĉapeli batalantojn.

Nature ni povas’t forgesas Eksan UFCan Lumon Superpezula Ĉampiono Jon Jones supoze kraŝanta luita SUV en graveda virino’s aŭto kaj rompanta ŝian brakon antaŭ fuĝanta la scenon sur piedo. This is yet another unfortunate example of the UFC not caring enough about their fighters. Kiel povis ilin ne rekoni ĉi tiun ulon havis problemon kiu devis esti traktita longan tempon antaŭ ĉi tiu tragedia okazaĵo elvolviĝis? Kiel povas la UFC pravigas ne havanta ilian propran hazardan drogan elprovadon en loko kiel aliaj profesiaj sportoj? Kiel estas kontraŭleĝa droga OK por batalanto fari ekstere de konkurso en la unua loko? Kiu faris la regulojn kun tiu gapanta elturniĝilo en ili?

Georges St. Pierre estis unu el la UFC’s plej laŭtaj kritikantoj sur la PED-elprovanta fronton. The former champion continues to sit on the sidelines after one of the most punishing fights of his career led him to announce his retirement with the door left open only a crack. Only a broad, Ampleksa drogo elprovanta programon povas alporti lin reen nun, St. Pierre daŭrigas.

Even fighters like Ronda Rousey are getting a little upset with the career control measures being wielded over them by their bigwig bosses. La UFC eĉ ne lasos Ronda aperi en kelkaj scripted WWEaj eventoj. Nur ĉar ĉi tiuj skits lasta pli longa ol kelkaj de ŝiaj realaj bataloj doesn’t mezumo ili estas multe da malsamaj ol kio ŝi faras en ŝia filma kariero. Ŝiaj UFCaj estroj estas bone kun ŝia plutraktanta ago filmaj roloj, Sekve kial ne malgranda falsaĵa luktado? Eble ĝi’s la fakto ke WWE ŝteladis la Tapout marko kaj prenis ĝin ĝuste ekstere de la kaĝo kaj en la luktada ringo. Eble ĝi’s ĵaluzo ke WWE havas la specon de fervorula bazo kiu faras ilin laŭleĝa minaco, Kaj ĝi’s la speco de fervoruloj la UFC urĝe bezonoj. Maybe it’s the fact that the UFC lost their chance at retaining Brock Lesnar’s services again and they are still getting over it.

Kio ajn la kialo, La UFC estas krampanta malsupren pli kaj pli da sur kio batalantoj povas kaj povas’t fari interne kaj ekster la kaĝo, Kaj ĝi iras ege pretere falsan luktadon. Kontraktoj estas fariĝantaj pli da kaj pli restrikta en ĉiu vojo.

The UFC also used to foster a climate where no fighter would dare speak a foul word about management or any business deal management put in place. La puno estus pli malbona ol bona se Dana decidis doni vin la Brendan Schaub trakto en la gazetaro.

Plendi, and you’d be called a coward or a bum. Vi’re ne teama ludisto, some ignorant fans will still say when you stick your neck out while under UFC contract. Ankoraŭ, Ĉi tiu klimato ne estas sufiĉe halti ĉi tiun novan malgrandan ondon de protesto kiu povus kreski al timiganta crescendo tuj antaŭ aŭ post kiam ĉi tiu Reebok interkonsento oficiale fariĝas realaĵo.

The mindless minions who criticize fighters for speaking out for their own best interests just eat right out of Dana White’s hand, Eĉ kiam li’s elpasanta ratan venenon. It is disgusting to hear and see so many people agreeing with a guy who never even fought an official amateur bout of any kind instead of listening to someone who actually put in the effort to compete in even one professional cage fight.

Kiam ĝi venas al aferoj de kio ĝi vere signifas “Esti F#$%ing batalanto,” Dana povas doni ĉiuj la faŭla-buŝmimita paroladojn li deziras, Sed ĝi’s la realaj batalantoj kiu sangita por jaroj sub la UFCa rubando kiu donis ke parolado vera signifo kaj resonanco al la ventumas kiun nun adori la tero Dana piediras sur. Majoritate, Ĉi tiuj ventumas nur kiel Blankulo tiel ĉar li parolas kaj cusses nur ŝatas ilin. Ankoraŭ, Unu UFCa batalanto mi intervjuis jarojn antaŭe dirita min estas io malĝuste kun la sporto kiam la plej rekonebla cifero en MMA estas Dana Blankulo. Mi couldn’t konsentas pli.

Libereco ne estas vorto esti prenita malpeze, Kaj libera parolado ne estas kiel libera kiel ĝi uzis esti. Vi subskribas sur la dotted linio interveni la UFCan kaĝon, Kaj vi devi ludi de iliaj reguloj, Eĉ la ones vi surmetas’t kiel aŭ surmeti’t konsentas kun. Kiu estis malbone sufiĉe kiam kiu estis la nuraj problemaj batalantoj alfrontis. Nun, Ĝi’s multe da pli malbona pro la Reebok interkonsento kaj la ramifications kaj ondetaj efikoj ĝi kaŭzos.

Kelkaj homoj forgesas ĉi tiun interkonsenton ankaŭ malsimpatiigas aliajn longajn tempajn sponsorojn de la UFC kaj ĝiaj batalantoj. Pensi de ĉiuj tiuj vestaĵaj firmaoj kiu ne estos kapabla vendi iliajn produktojn nun en asocio kun ajna oficiala UFCa evento. La okazonta UFCa Fervorulo Ekspozicia situacio is a prime example of how the UFC just doesn’t seem to care about the businesses and backers that helped put them on the map in the first place.

La homoj malantaŭ ĉi tiu dinama MMAa ligo malsimpatiigos iun ajn aŭ ajnan grupon de homoj fari dolaron de la malantaŭoj de pli bonaj viroj ol si mem. Ĉi tiu Reebok interkonsento estas vivanta pruvon de tio. Eĉ se ĉiuj la mono de la Reebok partnereco faras iri al la batalantoj, all those businesses that end up locked out of fighter sponsorship deals will have to line up to sign exclusive contracts with the organization itself. Aŭ tio, Aŭ ili transformos al Bellator subtenantoj kaj sekvi brulita UFCajn batalantojn al tiu organizo.

Suddenly that second fiddle is sounding like it could steal the show, and my prediction that Bellator could fail looks premature and presumptuous now.

“Do vi deziras esti f$%^ing batalanto?”
