BELLATOR MMA NDIO NYUMBA MPYA YA KUPAMBANA YA WANDERLEI 'THE AX MURDERER' SILVA

Acha maoni

Rais wa Bellator Scott Coker na Wanderlei Silva (Mikopo: Bellator / Lucas Noonan)

 

SANTA MONICA (Machi 2, 2016) -Bellator MMA inafurahi kutangaza kuwa moja ya maarufu zaidi, wapiganaji wanaotambulika na wapenzi katika mchezo wa sanaa ya kijeshi iliyochanganywa, Wanderlei "Axe Murderer" Silva (35-12-1), amesaini kipekee ya miaka mingi, mkataba wa vita vingi na kukuza. Kijana huyo wa miaka 39 alitoa ofa kutoka kwa kampuni kote ulimwenguni, lakini Bingwa wa zamani wa Pride FC Middleweight alifanya uamuzi wa kuchukua mtindo wake wa kulipuka kwa Bellator MMA.

 

"Mwuaji wa Shoka" amepiga vita na vita vya kukumbukwa zaidi mchezo huo umewahi kuona. Vita vyake na Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, Tito Ortiz, Mirko Cro Cop, Vitor Belfort, Dan Henderson |, Kazushi Sakuraba, Chuck Liddell, na Michael Bisping ni hadithi ya hadithi - lakini Silva yuko tayari kabisa kukifunga kitabu hicho juu ya taaluma yake nzuri.

 

Mbali na Mashindano yake ya Dunia ya Uzani wa Uzito wa Kati, Kesi ya nyara ya Silva iliyojaa tuzo ni pamoja na tuzo za Kupambana na Mwaka (2003, 2004, 2007), KO ya Mwaka (2008), na tuzo nyingi za Fight of the Night ikiwa ni pamoja na moja kwa kila mapigano yake matatu ya mwisho, kutaja tu chache. Sasa anaonekana kuendelea kutoa tuzo yake, mapigano ya kuburudisha ndani ya ngome ya Bellator.

 

Silva ana chaguzi kadhaa kwa pambano lake la kwanza na Bellator. Ingawa ametumia sehemu kubwa ya kazi yake akiwa na pauni 185, moja ya mambo ambayo mashabiki wake wanapenda sana juu yake ni utayari wa Wanderlei kupigania bora zaidi - hata ikiwa ilikuwa darasa mbili za uzani mzito - kama inavyothibitishwa na vita vyake vya uzani mzito dhidi ya watu kama Mark Hunt, Gilbert Yvel, Kazuyuki Fujita na Cro Cop; Au, vita vyake dhidi ya wazito nyepesi kama Ortiz, na mpinzani wake wa hivi karibuni, Brian Stann, ambaye alimgonga kwenye fremu ya pili.

 

Silva ndiye wa hivi karibuni katika safu ndefu ya saini za wakala wa bure za hivi karibuni zilizofanywa na Scott Coker na Bellator MMA. Mshindani wa zamani wa Sanduku la Chute anajiunga: Josh Thomson, Phil Davis, Benson Henderson, Sergei Kharitonov na Anastasia Yankova kwenye orodha na mabingwa wanapenda: Marcos Galvão, Daniel Straus, Will Brooks, Andrey Koreshkov, Rafael Carvalho, Liam McGeary naVitaly Minakov,

UFC Kupambana Night: The Swedish Are Coming!

Acha maoni

In a land once popularized in a Tom Green (remember him?) song – “Lonely Swedish (The Bum Bum Song)” – the Ultimate Fighting Championship brings a Fight Night card that will hopefully bring more attention than a song about a Canadian’s ass.

The first FOX card of the new year, UFC Kupambana Night: Sweden, brings the national stage of FOX overseas and gives America a glimpse into the UFC’s ongoing overseas expansion. But unlike previous UFC overseas cards, this one is not short on star power. Let’s see if a clear-cut no. 1 contender for Jon Jones’ light heavyweight title will emerge.

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

This is a matchup of The Ultimate Fighter alumni, with both guys coming off losses and Corassani coming off back-to-back losses to Max Holloway and 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. Ajabu "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
