UFC and PEDs: Kuphi sikhamba lapha?

Shiya amazwana

Ngokuvamile lapho mina bazibuza lowo mbuzo, kungcono in the ngemva nombono pay-per-futhi ngiyakujabulela ezibuza ngekuphimisela yini olandelayo zabashokobezi ngubani ligcwaliswe kuso. Lesi sikhathi emhlabeni, Ngikhuluma ngento esithinta Abaculi Zonke exubile amasosha e-Championship Ultimate Fighting.

The UFC umemezele lokhu sonto ukuthi kuyoba nokuqalisa eqinile kude, kude olunzulu more izidakamizwa ukuhlolwa ngemva fighters like Anderson Silva futhi Hector Lombard ukuhlolwa ukwehluleka for izidakamizwa ezinikeza (PEDs), ngenkathi Jon Jones futhi Nick Diaz ukuhlolwa kuhlulekile cocaine nensangu, ngokulandelana.

Izidakamizwa Ukwenyuka ukuhlolwa kanye nezinhlawulo sibi kungasiza UFC kuphela, futhi karate bebonke okuxubile. Kodwa yini ngempela eyabangela ngale ukwanda ekuhlolweni wehluleka? PEDs bebelokhu ingxenye yezemidlalo eside ngaphambi MMA fighters waqala ukuthatha kwabo, futhi baye inkinga MMA ngaphambi zokugcina ezingu-futhi-a-nesigamu.

Kodwa kubonakala fighters more ukuba ukubanjwa. Njengoba kwezemidlalo iningi, kukhona owawudinga ingcindezi ukwenza MMA futhi the UFC. Uma bangenzi, wena ngokuyisisekelo abakhokhelwa. Isidingo kwandisa UFC izinhlelo esenziwa deal yayo kanye FOX Kungase isici. Baya ekubeni on Spike TV – lapho kuphela ukusakaza "The Ultimate Fighter" kanye ngonyaka futhi bukhoma impi amakhadi amabili noma amathathu ngonyaka – cishe kokuba ezimbili bukhoma impi amakhadi ngenyanga futhi angabiki "The Ultimate Fighter" kabili ngonyaka eziteshini FOX.

Ukwenyuka izinhlelo kusho isidingo izidumbu ukugcwalisa leso izinhlelo. Kusho ukuthi fighters more baqeqesha for balwa, okungaholela ukulimala more. PEDs, ngaphezu akunika yona inzuzo yokuncintisana phezu isitha sakho, zikuvumela ukuba alulame ngenxa yokulimala ngokushesha. With the isidingo fighters more ukugcwalisa mpi amakhadi more, Ngicabanga ukuthi kungenzeka ukwenyuka kwezinga lalezi ukuhlolwa kwezidakamizwa emzimbeni yehlulekile okungenani kube ngokwengxenye ashiwo ukuthi.

Ukwanda kokusetshenziswa-testing izinyathelo The UFC sithathe nomphumela July 1. Yini esingayilindela uma enza? Nazi ezinye iziqondiso the UFC wethule.

Ngisho UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta wavuma ngesikhathi press conference kuleli sonto ukuthi izinto "zaziyoba zimbi nakakhulu ngaphambi kokuba kangcono 'ukuhlolwa entsha. Okuningi, it kusazobonakala kangakanani yalesi impela anamathele once July 1 ugicita emhlabeni. UFC ngaphambilini kubhekwe uyanda imizamo yayo izidakamizwa-testing phambi kodwa wadonsa emuva, izindleko bephawula kanye ngaphambilini botched umzamo ukwenza kanjalo.

Nokho, kanye ukuqubuka ephezulu profile izinkanyezi like Silva, Jones and Diaz ukuhlolwa ukwehluleka, izindleko angeke kubhekwe isithiyo kanye UFC kumele baqaphe. Ukupheqa Twitter feed yami kulandela sabezindaba, kwaba eerily ethule. Cishe akukho fighters kuhlaziywe in waqale. Kungenzeka kwaba ukuthi nje eceleni of the sabezindaba ezenzeka a ngoLwesithathu ntambama, lapho iningi labantu abasebenza noma mhlawumbe ube ezinye izinto ukwenza ngaphandle post on Twitter. Kodwa kwaba namanje kwamambala pretty. Kubonakala okunjengalokhu kwangenza nganaka kakhudlwana fighters ', njengoba kufanele.

Yini Ngicabanga ngeke kwenzeke? Kuzoba ukwanda test wahluleka kanye izinyathelo emisha yokuthwebula izithombe ithatha nomphumela July 1, Ngikhathazekile kwetfulwe beqiniseka. Kodwa uma ucabangela ukuthi UFC usekela izinhlawulo elibuhlungu kulabo abenza fail – kuhlanganise ukuvinjelwa iminyaka ezine – Ngilindela fighters elingcolile ekugcineni umjikelezo ngokwabo out and the ones Are ukuncintisana ahlanzekile (okuyinto iningi labo, mhlawumbe) ukuthatha indima lidlondlobala.

Izidakamizwa Ukwanda ukuhlolwa kade in the UFC. Umdlalo ubuciko exubile karate ngokwako isencane isakhasa, ikakhulukazi uma kuqhathaniswa neminye imidlalo like football, basketball and baseball. Kodwa like nje baseball is uyalulama kusukela nenhlekelele yayo siqu PEDs, lezi ukuhlolwa kwezidakamizwa emzimbeni yamuva wehluleka ziye Inyakazisé isisekelo UFC futhi harkened emuva ezinsukwini lapho kubhekiselwa kuye ngokuthi "cockfighting womuntu."

UFC bamukela kwesiqubulo esithi "The Time Is Now" for 2015, futhi angikwazanga avumelane ngaphezulu. Isikhathi manje ngabo azohola ekuhlanzeni sport of arts exubile karate.

UFC Fight Night: The Swedish ziyeza!

Ezweni once yawenza in a Tom Green (khumbula kuye?) song – "Lonely Swedish (The Bum Bum Song)” – the Championship Ultimate Fighting uletha Night ikhadi Fight ukuthi ngeke ngethemba ukuletha ukunakekelwa ngaphezu ingoma imbongolo waseCanada sika.

The FOX ikhadi lokuqala onyakeni omusha, UFC Fight Night: Sweden, kuletha esiteji FOX kwezilwandle kazwelonke kanye unikeza America amazwibela ukwandiswa the UFC sika okuqhubekayo kwezilwandle. Kodwa ngokungafani UFC amakhadi kwezilwandle odlule, lena akuyona iDemo amandla star. Ake sibone uma ukusika ecacile-akukho. 1 Olwa isihloko wesibhakela ukukhanya Jon Jones 'kuzovela.

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

Lena matchup of The alumni Ultimate Fighter, kanye kokubili guys ephuma ukulahlekelwa futhi Corassani iza off emuva kuya emuva ukulahlekelwa Max Holloway futhi 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. Wonderful” 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

Jon Jones Uhlawulisiwe Cocaine Sebenzisa, Kodwa UFC Light wesibhakela Champ kunjalo kubonakala kuba Special Treatment in Cocaine Scandal

Shiya amazwana

Kubuyekeziwe 1/19/2015 nge full interview video:

By: Rich Bergeron

Ukuze Mixed Martial Arts abalandeli ababanjwe impicabadala Jon Jones and the test ngephutha ukuthi snagged kuye scandal cocaine, “The Interview” ayiyona a comedy Ifaka James Franco and Seth Rogen.

The clip ngenhla likhombisa nje amazwibela ambalwa full Fox Sports 1 ahlale phansi kumhlangano ezungeze imiphumela 4th December “out of ukuncintisana” test ukuthi abalandeli abaningi MMA emhlabeni wonke manje ujwayelene kakhulu. Kulabo iplanethi ababengamkhulekeli ukuzwa izindaba, the test lwembula Jones kwadingeka metabolites cocaine esimisweni sakhe.

Tonight, Jones kubonakala a eside elindelwe “eze kuJesu” mzuzu phambi amakhamera, kodwa esikhundleni Barbara Walters kokubuza imibuzo, kungcono Charissa Thompson. The Jones Interview is slated for an 11PM EST time slot, eside ngemva zonke izingane little ngubani ukumbheka angiyolala. Ukuze uthole imininingwane eyengeziwe ngalokho zizokhokhwa, hlola lokhu preview axoshwe by Fox in kusengaphambili.

Akuthathanga isikhathi eside kakhulu emva imibiko yokuhlola emihle Kwadlula amahlaya Scarface , memes kanye parodies ukuqala circulating. Though the situation is far from funny to many folks who are truly disgusted by these developments, it’s really hard not to laugh at some of the stuff kokunamekwa konke phesheya Twitterverse about Jones. Making ebaluleke sibi kukhona ibika ukuthi UFC Light wesibhakela Champion wachitha kuphela 24 amahora Rehab, kodwa abantu on Twitter waphinda wathola izindlela ezimbalwa ukuze xhoxha fun ngaleso ukuthuthukiswa kanye:

Kuthenjiswa ukuthuthukiswa oyophuma sonke isimo wukuthi UFC ekugcineni wagibela futhi ekhokhwa ezinye isijeziso limited on Jones. Nakuba kubonakala usuku sekwephuzile futhi zamaRandi eziyizinkulungwane ezimbalwa short, ukukhuthazwa hit iphosta yabo umfana a $25,000 emihle futhi esikhishwe la mazwi alandelayo:

"Jones ihlolwe emihle for cocaine ngesikhathi umuthi test out-of-ukuncintisana olwenziwe Nevada Commission Athletic on Dec. 4, 2014. The $25,000 ngeke inikelwe uhlelo kwezidakamizwa lokuvikela.

The UFC weza kulesi sinqumo ngemva kokuhlaziya amaqiniso ahambisana udaba, futhi emva kokuthola isiqinisekiso Nevada Commission Athletic ukuthi Jones wadlula konke ukuhlolwa kwezidakamizwa emzimbeni adingekayo elandelayo iziqubu yakhe at UFC 182 on uJan. 3."

Ingabe UFC khumbula nje banalo wokuziphatha zidinga wonke abasubathi zabo owaqashwa ukulandela? It umbuzo fair, kodwa nezinkinga izindaba iqiniso lokuthi Nevada Commission Athletic ngokomthetho ngiyeqe kwemingcele yabo ngisho bazithobisa Jones to a test for into empeleni abazange bavinjelwe in an out of ukuncintisana imvelo. The UFC’s legal bigwigs had to take a step back and figure out how to defend whatever punishment Jones would face in light of the test.

A wokuziphatha ukwephulwa kwabonakala like an open case and ngcí ukuze ochwepheshe abaningi, kodwa owenza inhlawulo okukhulu kakhulu abengase ukunikeza Jones an avenue ukuphikisa inhlawulo. All wayezolinda ukwenze call ukunakekela ikhomishana lokugijima ebhekisela test ngokwaso njengoba “ukwengamela zokuphatha.” Ukwenza inhlawulo ibe umnikelo kubonakala kuyindlela enhle ukuvimbela iyiphi inselele zomthetho by Jones.

Still, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi iluphi uhlangothi magazini wena, lonke sigameko ecishe ihlobane nokusebenzisa wokukhetha okungenampilo okwaboniswa UFC sengqondo Jones. Kulula ukucabanga umuntu olwela emakhadini the UFC sika erhubhululweni ukubanjwa ngokushesha baxoshwa inhlangano uma ebanjwe isimo esifanayo. Nokho, Jones is ngempama esihlakaleni nge inhlawulo sakugcina ngokoqobo inikezwe ukunconywa letibukene udaba like ingqwele nguye. He even gets to go on national television and explain why he “edabukisayo.”

Nakuba Ezimweni eziningi ezihilela UFC fighters abahlola emihle for ebhodweni eminyakeni yamuva zihilela zimo ezihlukene ngokuphelele mayelana in ukuncintisana uvivinyo, Dana White akazange aphume nganoma iyiphi yalezo izimo ukhuluma usizo kangakanani lezo fighters ezidingekayo. Akazange iyahambelana iyiphi nezingxoxo yiziphi lezo fighters nge network ezinkulu UFC has a multi-million dollar yezokusakaza deal with.

Abanye abalandeli Jones bangase baphikise ngokuthi iningi izinhlawulo sibi dished out for abasebenzisi insangu abangu amacala uphinda ezasuswa. Kuyavunywa, lokhu kuyicala lokuqala for Jones uma kuziwa izidakamizwa. Nokho, nathi ngeke singalinaki iqiniso lokuthi zihambisana Bentley kwakhe ulingane nesigxobo sikagesi ngobukhulu, abahola DUI, amaRandi izinkulungwane ezimbalwa eyinhlawulo nezinhlawulo (okubala $7,000 ukuba esikhundleni pole) futhi umshayeli izinyanga eziyisithupha Ilayisensi ukumiswa ngezenzo zakhe ekuseni May 19, 2012. Kwakungekho isijeziso esemthethweni by the UFC for the crash. Wavunyelwa ukuvikela isicoco sakhe ku September of the nyaka.

Kunzima ukucabanga ngisho abadlali best in yimuphi omunye umdlalo ukuthola ukwelashwa okufanayo by abaphathi babo. Cabanga ngendaba Diego Maradona, arguably the best soccer player ever. Wamiswa kusukela sport for 15 izinyanga 1991 ngemuva kokuhluleka a test izidakamizwa ngenxa cocaine. Emuva ngo 2007, Martina Hingis ihlolwe emihle for the metabolites efanayo okutholakala Jones, kodwa amazinga wakhe empeleni ngezansi ezingeni okwamukelekayo amasosha United States izidakamizwa screening protocol. The International Tennis Federation namanje esilengisiwe wakhe iminyaka emibili. Lezi ezimbili sports lapho umgomo washo akukhona ukulimaza umbheke ukuze ngizuze. MMA iyisilwane ezahlukene, futhi ngisho ekuqeqesheni fighters ngokuvamile silimale.

Noma kunjalo “out of ukuncintisana” akubandakanyi ukulwa ezisemthethweni exubile karate artist ethile ikhokhelwa ukuncintisana in, kungcono ngenkathi okukhulu sparring engenzeka. Nakuba abambalwa bangase baphikise cocaine kuyinto ukusebenza esandisa izidakamizwa, kukhona isizathu ibinzana “ezitshakadule up on cocaine” is so common. Uma Jon Jones kwaba ngaphansi kwethonya izidakamizwa ngesikhathi sessions ukuqeqeshwa sparring kwenzeka lapho, wayeyowenza yena kanye / noma sparring wakhe womshado enkulu. Not to mention the damage a long-term cocaine habit can do to a person. Nakuba ephoqelela akuyena wotshwala, lokho zenqaba ovamile abantu ababhekene nezinkinga izidakamizwa sína babe.

Izikhathi eziningi, abantu abasezikhundleni like Jones hhayi nje bangakwazi udumo nokunakwa eliza stardom. Babe vula engqondweni numbing izinto ezihlukahlukene zomthetho kanye emthethweni. Kulula ukuqonda ukuthi kungani Jones likuthola lezi zimpikiswano, kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo konke ezidingekayo nangokwengeziwe ukumnika ngendlela enjalo elula.

Fana ningi kanjalo than the isilinganiso Joe ngubani ugcina izidakamizwa, othile ofana Jones kungaba kalula ukukhokhela ukuba umkhuba omubi ngempela, futhi unesizathu esizwakalayo ulifihle kusuka umphakathi jikelele. Lokhu kusho bokuthi umlutha–usebenzisa ngenkathi yedwa–obengenza niyakusitshekelwa by Jones isikhathi eside.

Ukunikeza up isijeziso sakugcina, osebenza like akusiwona inkinga engathi sína, futhi sivumele ukuba aqhubeke irekhodi ngokusemthethweni ukuphika anakho inkinga cocaine kungaba yingozi kakhulu ekululameni kwakhe. Lokhu kuyiqiniso ngokukhethekile uma ngempela sinawo inkinga engathí sina nokuthi uzama kanzima kangaka ukuze ugweme ukuvuma.

Okubi kakhulu ngalesi simo lonke, noma, umyalezo othunywe Esambulweni akukho rule kanzima ukwenqabela ukusetshenziswa cocaine out of ukuncintisana, okungenani kufike Nevada Commission Athletic ukhathazekile. I singabaze artists exubile eziningi bokulwa noma punjab wayazi ukuthi ngaphambi kwalesi sehlakalo ukuvela ezihlokweni eziphambili zamaphephandaba izindaba. Manje benza, futhi kungase kudale inkinga enkulu kakhulu.

Fighters ngokuvamile bavela ezizindeni nokhahlo, futhi esikhundleni zigqugquzela ukuziphatha kuphela kuholela ejele, iphendukela nokulwa ukubaleka izidakamizwa nobugebengu. Lesi sigameko kwenza kucace zonke fighter okungenzeka enqaba ukuhileleka cocaine esikhathini esidlule ukuthi manje suka ngikwenza emzweni odlulayo, kanye noma kabili, noma nini lapho kungukuthi belwa. Bangaki lezi fighters ngeke ugxumele emuva kulelo yokuphila elidala once befika emaphethelweni eweni?

Zingaki izimpilo engase izobhujiswa, indlela abaningi abayizibonelo iyodalulwa bakhohlisi, futhi bangaki careers izobe aphazamisa unomphela ngoba fighters manje bazi ngaphandle kokungabaza ukuthi angenza izidakamizwa ezingekho emthethweni zonke izinhlobo njengoba nje ukuthi cha sitholakale elincane “in ukuncintisana” window? Asisoze sazi, ngoba njengoba injena asikwazi sazi. Sisebenza kungafanele ukwazi. Ngaleyo ndlela isishayo silokhu phakade kufihlwe, okuyilapho ukusetshenziswa kwezidakamizwa kanye nokuhlukunyezwa festers futhi likhula okwandile bandza kakhulu umsebenzisi kanye nalabo abaseduze naye.

Kungakhathaliseki Jones kuyinto umlutha noma cha akunandaba. Iqiniso liwukuthi, wenza isinqumo esibi ukuthi amasosha ezingenakubalwa angenza uma efakwa isikhundla esifanayo. Sometimes it just takes one poor decision to start a downward spiral that only ends in tragedy. Ukwelapha lokhu guy ehlukile nje yokuthi angabenza in the yezinyoni ubhidlize ngezisusa esigabeni sakhe iyindlela inhlekelele.

Ngisho noma kungcono ukumiswa izinyanga eziyisithupha kusukela sport, okuthile kufanele kwenziwe by the UFC ukuthumela umyalezo ohlukile futhi okubaluleke nakakhulu. The UFC idinga fighters zabo ukwazi lokhu akuyona OK, ngeke kubekezelelwe, futhi akufanele liphindwe yinoma on uhlelo lwabo.
