Jayda “Lil Killah” Bailey (0-0) έχει προγραμματιστεί να αντιμετωπίσει Ντάνα Ντόστι (0-0) σε έναν διαγωνισμό θηλυκού μικρόσωμου βάρους.

Bailey, πρεσβύτερος στο Γυμνάσιο Hermon στο Hermon, Μέιν, θα γυρίσει 18 (τη νόμιμη ελάχιστη ηλικία για να διαγωνιστεί στο MMA στο Maine) μόλις οκτώ ημέρες πριν από τον αγώνα, καθιστώντας την έτσι το νεότερο άτομο στην ιστορία που αγωνίστηκε ποτέ σε μια ρυθμισμένη μάχη MMA στην πολιτεία. Έχει εκπαιδευτεί στις πολεμικές τέχνες από την ηλικία των τεσσάρων ετών και είναι μέλος του Young's MMA στο Bangor από την ηλικία των δώδεκα ετών. Ο Bailey παλεύει επίσης για το Γυμνάσιο του Bucksport καθώς η Hermon δεν έχει ομάδα. Στην ηλικία των 15, ταξίδεψε στο Νέο Μεξικό για να εκπαιδεύσει στην παγκοσμίως διάσημη Jackson Wink Ακαδημία MMA όπου εργάστηκε με τους πρώην πρωταθλητές Bantamweight Holly Holm της UFC (11-3). Ο Bailey αγωνίζεται τακτικά σε τουρνουά Jiu-Jitsu σε όλη την περιοχή της Νέας Αγγλίας.

“Θέλω να πολεμήσω για όσο μπορώ να θυμηθώ,” δήλωσε ο Bailey. “3 Νοεμβρίου θα είναι η μέρα που θα δείξω ό, τι έχω, και να ξεκινήσω την καριέρα μου με ένα χτύπημα.”

Το να στέκεται απέναντι από τον Μπέιλι στο κλουβί θα είναι το πρώτο του ερασιτεχνικό ντεμπούτο με τη μορφή της Danae Dostie. Ο Ντόστι είναι απόφοιτος του Λυκείου της Ακαδημίας Fryeburg στο Fryeburg, Μέιν όπου ήταν αθλητής που ξεχωρίζει στην πίστα και στην ομάδα. Σήμερα υπηρετεί ως μέλος της στρατιωτικής αστυνομίας με την Εθνική Φρουρά του Maine Army. Η Dostie εκπροσωπεί το MMA της Λισαβόνας του Kenney, Μέιν.

“Είμαι πολύ ενθουσιασμένος για τον πρώτο μου αγώνα στο NEF,” είπε η Ντόστι. “Θα είναι διασκεδαστικό να δούμε πώς πηγαίνει αυτός ο αγώνας. Ξέρω ότι και τα δύο θα μάθω πολλά.”

επόμενη εκδήλωση μικτές πολεμικές τέχνες-NEF του, “NEF 31: Το παλιό λιμάνι,” θα δει το ντεμπούτο της εταιρείας στο Πόρτλαντ, Maine στο ολοκαίνουργιο, υπερσύγχρονος χώρος Aura.

An Open FU to UFC President DanaEffing” White!

wtf

Με: Πλούσια Bergeron

Those who know me personally would all say I am a mellow individual, until you seriously cross me, σαν, for instance, if you become the subject of an investigative report I’m working on, ή sue me for $25 εκατομμύριο. Sometimes I may take things like that as a sign you might not want me to really find out who you are and what you do behind closed doors to screw hard working people over.

Αυτή την εβδομάδα, a certain individual who won’t even let me follow him in Twitter (https://twitter.com/danawhite) pissed me off to the point where I could only think of one thing to do. Because I’m officially blacklisted in every possible way by the UFC brass, and have even had restraining orders placed against my directly contacting the Fertittas and ANY UFC fighter, my best option is to publish a drastic diatribe here I am just going to call myOPEN FUto DanaEffing” White.

I’m sure Mr. White will not take my calls or subject himself to a one on one interview with me. Έτσι, I will have to settle for a written FUand a multi-tiered and multi-purpose FU.

FU, DanaEffing” White… for many, many reasonstoo many for one small blog post to do justice, but let’s just say Most of all FU….

For what you THINK you know about Holly Holm

Γειά, Dana, you wanna talk about youreffingreality showLooking For a Fight????” I was actually looking for a fight when I watched that old realityshit show when you were supposed to box Tito Ortiz, but HE magically backed out at the last minute.

Τώρα, you, DANAEFFINGWHITE, are telling Holly Holm about a decision YOU think she didn’t think through enough??? And now you act like someone pissed in your Wheaties because you have two upset wins at UFC 196 to work around and figure out how to make sense of somehow.

Booeffinghoo, buddy.

Welcome to how things don’t go as planned sometimes in the fight business, you ungrateful prick.

Do you wanna be aneffing” Υποστηρικτής, Danaeffing” White???

Holly Holm Was the Bantamweight Champion of the UFC when she allowed HER Manager (not Danaeffing” White) to negotiate the Tate fight on her behalf, and she knew (and her long-time manager knew, πάρα πολύ) what she was doing and what she wanted. And guesseffingwhat, Dana? She wanted to fight.

Συγνώμη, DanaEffing” White, but Holly didn’t want to sit on aneffingsideline waiting for Ronda Rousey to finish hereffingROADHOUSE REMAKE!

Holly wanted to go to workbut unfortunately she has to work for a boss who has no idea what it’s like to step into HER office and handle HER daily workload with such tenacity, τάξη, dignity and grace.

And I think maybe she looks back a bit differently than you do, Dana, with noeffingregrets whatsoever for putting her absolute all into that fight and just plain getting caught in her one area of weakness in a battle where she likely would have won a three-round fight. Maybe if YOU were a fighter, Dana, you might get that whole concept. Maybe losing in this case only makes her better, ισχυρότερη, and more durable as a career mixed martial artist. Who gives a damn if it makes her less marketable in your eyes? What do you really know, οπωσδήποτε?

UNLIKE YOU, DanaEffing” White, Holly actually respects Miesha Tate and thought it would be a challenge to fight her. Ναι, she lost, but damn, she was absolutely correct about it being a challenge. I think the fight will go down as one of the greatest battles in female MMA history.

Τώρα, why don’t you open youreffingeyes, Dana, watch the fight again, and quit bitching about what should have happened in that cage you never fought in yourself.

Be grateful you have a champion you just paid $92,000 in fight pay (before bonuses) to take your organization’s belt from the girl you WANTED TO WIN (and paid $500,000 just to be there). It may not be what you expected, but the anxiety you feel about it is what you DESERVE to feel for being such a douchebag to the fighters who built the UFC.

My biggest questions on this subject for Dana are: Why are you such a biased, crooked asshole who can’t bother to give Miesha the time of day FOR ALL HER HARD WORK? Why can’t you give credit where it is dueon both sides of that fight? Why can’t you shut theeffup about what you think Holly or her management should have or could have waited for?

It’s not your place to look back with 20/20 hindsight and act like Holly and her manager should have gone all Nostradamus on this fight when you obviously didn’t see this shit coming, είτε, you dome-headed dimwit.

Μαχητές “effing” πάλη, Dana. That’s what theyeffingdo, which you should know, since I am pretty sure you used to be aneffingmanager of MMA fighters yourself. Ναί, that was many moons ago, but how could you forget?

Fighters don’t sit on their asses on corporate jets and stand at podiums in front of the press all day to earn theeffingpaltry paychecks your organization pays out to most of them. Most fighters simply cannot afford to wait around for shit to happen or for someoneworthyenough in your eyes to step up and fight them.

Some fighters need to feed their kids. All of them need to pay their bills and for everything else involved with training camps, daily living expenses, travel and whatever costs medical insurance doesn’t cover when they have to address nagging injuries. Your shitty Reebok deal made it virtually impossible to get any other outside sponsors to help pay for anything like that stuff for many fighters, Dana.

Welcome to selling out and forgetting where you came from, Dana. You used to care more about fighters. Now you act like fighting in a cage is just like doing any other 9-5 εργασία. It’s not. Είναι “effinghard work.

Έτσι, ναι, Holly chose to fight instead of waiting for Rousey to be ready for the rematch. And you think she needs your opinion now that everything didn’t work out as planned for you both?

FU, Dana.

She hurts a lot worse than you, and I can guaran-effing-tee that.

Ω…και…από τον τρόπο…fighters are way more responsible for the growth and success of the UFC/Zuffa organization than you ever have been. And that’s real talk, you rich bitch with a stick up your ass because you were never good enough in your life to ever have your own official fight.

Έτσι, get over the God complex and learn to respect ALL of your fighters, not just the ones you want to see win because you might think you can work with them better or you think they will move the organization in a better direction. Respect the effort, the sacrifice and the pain ALL your fighters go through each and every day to get where they get. That belt you put on Miesha’s waist was EARNED, and don’t you ever think it iseffingcool to call the fact that Holly Holm had the guts to face Miesha Tatea mistake.

It rings hollow, especially when I would consider that handing you a microphone to talk about MMA at all was THE greatest mistake the sport ever made, περίοδος! Anyone who would try to knock a former champion down a peg that way in his own organization does not deserve to be recognized as that organization’s president.

You have no clue what it’s really like to fight, and your criticism of Holly Holm tells me you can never possibly understand the mindset that led her to take the Tate fight and not wait an idle year for RondaeffingRousey to be ready to appear at one of your precious shows.

Έτσι, FU Dana White for treating your former champ like she’s an idiot who doesn’t know how to control her own career without you butting your stupid, bald head into it. Holly’s fine without your advice, and she trusts her manager, which might be something you’re not familiar with, but for other people it is actually a reality of doing business with legitimate people.

 

FU, Dana for being a piss-poor ambassador for the sport, disrespecting fighters who bleed (and sometimes suffer lifelong injuries) for you and the sport, and totally underestimating and failing to grasp what it really takes to actually be a professional fighter who actually competes against other fighters

Do you remember the days when you had to settle for being a lowly boxercise instructor because your boxing trainer Boston slapped you too hard in the ear once? You never had a single competitive fight in your life, Danaeffing” White, and that’s a DOCUMENTED FACT!

Do you ever even look back at those days before the silver-spoon-fed Fertittas helped you claw your greedy, selfish, egotistical ass into the position of OFFICIAL UFC MOUTHPIECE?

Do you remember those hairy days when you blew through $40 million of Fertitta funds to perpetrate theZuffa Mythwhile claiming credit for the UFC brass singlehandedly legitimizing the sport and getting it regulated all by youreffingselves? As if not a single FIGHTER nor any other industry professional who pioneered MMA before you dipped your greedy little paws into it had anything to do with it?

Your Mom remembers thosecoulda been a contender” ημέρες, Dana..when you thought you might be able to have an actual fight with another human being. Your own mother remembers even though you and one of your sleazy friends tried to silence her, BASH HER ONLINE, and even blacklist her BOOK, πάρα πολύ.

Do you remember the days when even Floyd Mayweather, Jr. thought you were cool, back when your daily driver was aneffingHonda, Dana? Floyd Remembers. He knew you long before you could afford to blow a normal person’s yearly pay on a single hand of poker.

You’re in a different place now, Danaeffing” White, and it’s a delusional place. Like on the distant planet you live on, people actually believe YOU really, τίμια, trulyeffingknow what it’s ACTUALLY like to be aneffingfighter? Do you actually believe YOU somehow could ever REALLY know that feeling?

REALLY?

Ξέρετε what A FIGHTER is, don’t you, Dana? A fighter is a man or woman who has the courage to willingly step into unarmed combat against another actual man or woman instead of just criticizing up and down the guys and girls who do have the guts to actually stand across from another human being while knowing and internalizing that the accepted goal is to physically destroy each other.

A fighter, in more simple terms, είναι “one who fights.And let’s be clear about oneeffingthing, Danaeffing” White, I know fighters, και YOU are no fighter.

You are nothing like a fighter, Danaeffing” White, and you nevereffing” θα ειναι. You are too weak, τόσο σωματικά όσο και ψυχικά. Until we see you go through a six-week training camp and then get into the cage against someone and kick his ass, we shouldn’t have to listen to one damncoulda,” “shoulda,” ή “wouldaout of your cornfed mouth about what you think of any particular fighter’s performance or decision making process. Those people have the guts to do what you will NEVER do yourself, and you ought to respect that.

FU Dana WhiteFor not recognizing Real Fighters Like Miesha Tate and Nate Diaz who keep at it no matter what and NEVER seem to earn your ULTIMATE RESPECT….

Nate Diaz stepped up to fight Conor McGregor for a reason. He had nothing to lose, and he wasn’t intimidated one bit. He famoulsy went on television with Fox Sports 1 on a split screen with Conor before that welterweight fight and quipped that his nemesis had already been choked out before, “by two lames.Diaz also had the perfect instinct to add humourously that McGregor’s choke losses happened, “like a week ago.

Diaz beat Conor in the shit-talk game long before he ever slapped him down and slipped that choke around his neck in the cage. The media created by that freakshow fight might have stopped the unchecked rise of your big, bold, six-headed dragon champion, but it created a new monster at the same time. And he’s a Reebok-hating, scowling, swearing, Stockton-slapping Mother-F$#king BEAST who doesn’t care what anyone else thinks about what he does or says.

You might think Diaz and his attitude arebad for business,” but I think his victory was the best thing that could ever happen to all you smug punks running the UFC. It just proves once and for all that you do not control the MMA universe.

Nate Diaz went without respect and credit for being an MMA pioneer and a good UFC soldier for far too long. The bitterness brewed and boiled within him, and I loved every second of him letting it pour out in post-fight interviews after he choked the shit out of Conor until the Irish bloke tapped theeffout and left Dana White drooling in a stupor at the thought of having to congratulate a man who’s become more of a mortal enemy than a member of the bigteam.

More power to Nate and all the crazy, abrasive, in-your-face Diaz brother types out there in the UFC who will fight DanaeffingWhite’s flamboyant fire with even more bravado and brash talk of their own. They can always say, “I learned it by watching you, Baldfather!”

As for Miesha Tate, she deserves true respect and admiration for being champ now after picking herself off the mat twice in the face of grueling losses to Rousey. Kudos to Tate for continuing her career and relentlessly focusing on getting by that Rousey armbar once and for all.

Though Miesha never did solve that Rousey submission dilemma, trying at all costs to get another crack at the belt paid dividends at UFC 196. Her never quit attitude led her to an opportunity of a lifetime, and she capitalized on it. Τώρα, Dana, you actually have to pay this young lady what most of her fans would say she was worth a long time ago.

And now you simply have to treat Tate with a bit of reverence and appreciation for once in your ungrateful life, Danaeffing” White. I know it must pain you so much to give this young lady the credit she’s worked so incredibly hard for, because maybe she touched a nerve when she called you out in the past for being the true clueless and disrespectful prick you really are. She was right, and you were wrong about how great she really is at fighting. Then again, weren’t you also WRONG about women fighting in the cage, περίοδος?

Έτσι, you DON’T wanna be a fighter, Ο κ. White? Then step aside and let the people who DO wanna be fighters go to battle for you so you can ride around the world on your jet and act like you know what theeffyou’re talking about when you stand in front of a microphone to describe the sport’s true athletes and what they do to make a living in mixed martial arts.

The line from Dana that most stands out to me as comblete BS in this whole debacle is this one:

“He’s an old boxing guy who thinks he’s smart and he isn’t,” White said of Fresquez [Holm’s Manager]. “I feel bad for Holly because I don’t know if she really knows what she lost.”

I have only two moreeffingquestions for you Danaeffing” White…

1.) What makes you think you are really in anyeffingposition to EVER know or understand what Holly Holm lost the other night? Aside from a few bad poker hands and tons of respect, the only thing you ever lost is your mind.

2.) Doesn’t your backhanded quote about Holm’s manager describe your own shitty character a whole lot better than that of Mr. Fresquez?

ΚΑΙ…just in case after reading all this anyone STILL needs yet another reason to have beef with the Baldfather:

Dana White και οι γυναίκες


Φωτο: Esther Λιν / ΜΜΑ Καταπολέμηση

Σάββατο, Φεβρουάριος. 28, πρόκειται να είναι μια ημέρα ορόσημο για το πρωτάθλημα Ultimate Fighting Championship. Όλες οι μαχητές στην κάρτα pay-per-view εκείνη την ημέρα θα περάσει ναρκωτικά πριν από τη μάχη τους ...... μυαλό .never. Αυτό είναι πάρα πολύ εύκολο.

Εκείνη την ημέρα θα είναι η πρώτη φορά που μια κάρτα UFC διαθέτει περιόδους των γυναικών σε δύο συν-κύριο γεγονός της και κύρια εκδήλωση. Μετά middleweight πρωτοπόρος Chris Weidman αναγκάστηκε να αποχωρήσει από τον αγώνα του εναντίον Vitor Belfort λόγω τραυματισμού, η νέα κεντρική εκδήλωση στο UFC 184 είναι Ronda Rousey υπερασπίζεται bantamweight ζώνη των γυναικών της ενάντια Cat Zingano. Στο ομο-κύριο γεγονός, πολυδιαφημισμένες προοπτική Holly Holm θα κάνει το ντεμπούτο της UFC εναντίον Raquel Pennington στον αγώνα bantamweight μια άλλη γυναικών.

Όπως έχω αναφέρει πριν, UFC έχει διανύσει πολύ δρόμο από όταν Dana White είπε ΤΜΖ ότι οι γυναίκες θα «ποτέ» πολεμήσουν στην οργάνωση του. Ρούσι θα Main Event τρίτη συνεχόμενη PPV Φεβρουάριος της και Holm είναι ευρέως πιστεύεται ότι είναι ο επόμενος στη γραμμή για έναν πυροβολισμό στον τίτλο, θα πρέπει αυτή να νικήσει Pennington. Holm είναι ακόμα πολύ ωμά σε μικτές πολεμικές τέχνες, αλλά τα τρένα με τα παγκοσμίου φήμης προπονητές Greg Τζάκσον και ο Mike Winkeljohn.

Ρούσι μεταφέρει τη σημαία για τις γυναίκες του ΜΜΑ και για τις γυναίκες στο UFC. Άλλες γυναίκες μαχητές έχουν την ακολούθησε στο Οκτάγωνο, συμπεριλαμβανομένων Μίσα Τέιτ, Liz Carmouche και Αλέξης Davis. Τι κάνουν αυτά τα τρία έχουν κοινό? Όλοι επίσης έπεσε στο Ρούσι - Tate δύο φορές στο Strikeforce και το UFC, και Carmouche και Davis, τόσο στον πρώτο γύρο στο UFC PPVs σε 2013 και 2014, αντίστοιχα.

Ρούσι και της Tate διαμάχη είναι καλά εξιστορείται. Οδήγησε τα δύο είναι Προπονητές στα Ultimate Fighter, η οποία περιελάμβανε γυναίκες μαχητές για πρώτη φορά που επισκίασε σε μεγάλο βαθμό τους άνδρες συναδέλφους τους για την παράσταση της εποχής εκείνης.

Με δεδομένη την επιτυχία της εν λόγω εποχής, η πιο πρόσφατη σεζόν του The Ultimate Fighter χαρακτήρισε όλα αυτά τα θηλυκά μαχητές και το ντεμπούτο του το νεότερο τμήμα του UFC, strawweight γυναικών. Carla Esparza, ο πρώην Invicta FC strawweight πρωταθλητής, κέρδισε την εναρκτήρια έκδοση UFC αυτής της ζώνης, μετά την ήττα Rose Namajunas.

Έτσι, σε διάστημα τεσσάρων ετών, UFC πηγαίνει από το να έχουν κανένα γυναίκες μαχητές και λευκό έντονα δηλώνοντας ότι ποτέ δεν θα, για να είναι το σπίτι σε δύο γυναίκες κατηγορίες βάρους και αναμφίβολα το μεγαλύτερο αστέρι της προώθησης του τώρα σε Ρούσι. Μην πιστεύεις? Είδες την τρίτη ταινία Expendables? Ή σκοπεύεις να δει την κινηματογραφική εκδοχή του Entourage αυτό το καλοκαίρι? Μπορείτε να παρατηρήσετε ένα οικείο πρόσωπο.

Έτσι, όταν κάνει γυναικών ΜΜΑ πάμε από εδώ? Προσωπικά, είμαι οπαδός της γυναικείας αγώνες, δεδομένου ότι τείνουν να είναι μεταξύ των πιο διασκεδαστικό και γεμάτο δράση μάχες σε μια κάρτα UFC. Όπως αναφέρθηκε προηγουμένως, γυναίκες μαχητές είναι περισσότερο από ικανή να επισκιάζει αρσενικό συγχρόνους τους. Γιατί είναι ότι? Ίσως γυναίκες μαχητές αισθάνονται ότι έχουν περισσότερα να αποδείξει μέσα στο Οκτάγωνο και πάντα πάει για έσπασε. Ίσως να πάει στο Οκτάγωνο με περισσότερο από ένα "πάνε για έσπασε» νοοτροπία και να επιδιώξει ενεργά φινίρισμα σε αντίθεση με την «εκ του ασφαλούς».

Ο αγώνας μεταξύ Ρούσι και Zingano στις Φεβ. 28 θα προχωρήσει επίσης σε μεγάλο βαθμό προς την κατεύθυνση που καθορίζει το μέλλον των γυναικών ΜΜΑ. Σε περίπτωση που Ρούσι ήττα Zingano - ποιες όλα τα σημάδια δείχνουν ότι θα - θα έχει ουσιαστικά καθαριστεί διαίρεση της, με μόνη άγνωστη αμφισβητίες όπως Holm και Bethe Correia αριστερά. Εάν η βελόνα τραβά αναστατωμένος, τότε η διαίρεση έχει μια φρέσκια παρτίδα συναρπαστικές αναμετρήσεις αναμονής.

Αλλά ποιος ξέρει τι θα είχε συμβεί αν Dana White κράτησε την υπόσχεσή του με το TMZ?
