FNU Combat Sports Show For November 3, 2016

Tom, Tony and Rich get back to action this week to discuss upcoming fight cards, including two big MMA events: UFC Fight Night Dos Anjos vs. Ferguson and Bellator 163: McGeary vs.. Davis. We preview both events and talk about the matchups. We then move to the boxing schedule where there are multiple belts on the line this week all over the globe. We spend a bit of time discussing the big Manny Pacquiao bout against Jessie Vargas. Is Manny fighting for the right reasons? Does he have enough left in the tank? We’ll know the answer Saturday night. Rich also breaks down his suspicions about vocal UFC fighters trending toward starting some type of powerful fighters union. Could the astronomical selling price of the UFC actually be the main handicap for the new owners? Did putting such a high premium on the UFC unintentionally give griping fighters more incentive to sue the company? Only time will tell.

When looking up the word “prospect” in the dictionary, there should be a photo of Ed Ruth placed next to the definition. The three-time national champion joined a plethora of blue-chip amateur wrestling prospects on the Bellator MMA roster last year and now will make his long-awaited debut at 185-pounds on Nov. 4. An attendee of the world-renown Blair Academy in Susquehanna Township, PA, di mana dia adalah rekrutan peringkat teratas di negara untuk kelas beratnya, Ruth elected to stay local and attend wrestling powerhouse Penn State University where he went on to add three National Championships and four All-American accolades to his trophy room while wrestling with the Nittany Lions. Saat Ini, Ruth’s chase for mixed martial arts gold begins –

Since graduating college, Fortune represented Team USA in Olympic style wrestling, where he also experienced success. Splitting time between wrestling training in Arizona alongside fellow “Bellator 163” competitor Ed Ruth and mixed martial arts training with the Blackzilians in Florida, Fortune has spent a great deal of time honing his striking talents and submission defense.

 

Miskell has competed in both heavyweight and super heavyweight contests during his seven-fight amateur stint, diperoleh catatan 5-2. Saat Ini, the Kentucky native – who’s finished each of victories – looks to parlay his success into a run under the bright lights of Bellator MMA’s heavyweight division. It’s safe to say that Miskell’s wrestling pedigree will be challenged early and often when he meets Fortune during the Bellator.com-streamed prelims.

 

The Gracie name is synonymous with the sport of mixed martial arts, and once again another Gracie will now take center stage for Bellator MMA. This time it is Royce Gracie’s cousin Neiman, who will compete for the third time under the promotion’s banner. After beginning his career with back-to-back submission victories, Gracie made his Bellator MMA debut at “Bellator 134,” where he defeated Bobby Flynn with a first round submission. The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt followed up the win with a win over Roger Carroll, and now looks to remain undefeated when he enters the Mohegan Sun Arena for the second time of his budding MMA career.

‘THE AMERICAN GANGSTER’ CHAEL SONNEN ENDS RETIREMENT, TANDA DENGAN Bellator MMA

By signing with the Scott Coker-led promotion, Sonnen effectively ends his retirement from professional mixed martial arts and he will now enter the 205-pound division championed by Liam McGeary, antara lain.

 

“I’m consistently blown away by the product and presentation that Bellator is bringing to the fans,” said Sonnen. “I’m not nearly done competing and I’m coming after everyone, everywhere. I’m not sticking to one weight class either, I fight at ‘Gangster Weight’ and nobody is safe.”

 

Sonnen has spent a vast majority of his 43-fight career with the UFC, a run where he competed against names the likes of Jon Jones, Anderson Silva (2x), Rashad Evans, "Shogun" Rua, Demian Maia, Brian Stann, and current middleweight champion Michael Bisping. In addition to his exploits inside the cage, the West Linn, Jam., native has mastered the art of being in front of the camera, doing major broadcasting work for both ESPN and Fox Sports.

 

“Chael is an incredible athlete that has competed at the very highest levels of the sport,"Kata Bellator MMA Presiden Scott Coker, “I know that he is going to continue to do just that here at Bellator. When we were in the process of signing him, Chael was adamant that he wants to compete in three divisions here. He already has unfinished business with Wanderlei Silva, but he also wants to fight guys like Tito Ortiz, Fedor Emelianenko and even Rory MacDonald at middleweight. These are all fights that I’d be very inclined to watch, so hopefully we can put some, if not all of these matchups together starting before the end of the year.”

SIAPA: Inggris pertama Juara Dunia dalam sejarah MMA akan selalu Liam McGeary. Di 6'6 petarung yang menjulang tinggi telah mencapai ketenaran di seluruh dunia dengan keahliannya yang mengesankan, yang membuatnya mengakhiri pertarungan dengan kekuatan KO yang mengesankan serta kehebatan jiu-jitsu. Saat ini tak terkalahkan di 11-0, masa depan cerah untuk Bellator MMA Champion. Baru-baru ini, McGeary mengalahkan Tito Ortiz di acara utama peletakan batu pertama “Bellator MMA: Dinamit 1.”

 

Nama Gracie ini identik dengan MMA, dan yang sebagian besar sebagian untuk Royce Gracie, orang yang dianggap telah menciptakan olahraga seperti yang kita kenal sekarang. Pemenang pertama beberapa acara UFC, Gracie akan membongkar beberapa lawan dalam satu malam, banyak di antaranya jauh lebih besar darinya. Selama bertahun-tahun tidak ada jawaban untuk teknik Gracie Jiu Jitsu bahwa ia dibawa ke perkelahian. Hari Ini, sulit untuk menemukan seorang pejuang MMA yang belum terlatih dalam seni jiu jitsu. Baru-baru ini, Gracie mengalahkan Ken Shamrock di acara utama pemecahan rekor "Bellator 149."

Salah satu pejuang MMA paling dikenal sepanjang masa, Hall of Famer Randy Couture bertransisi dengan baik ke dunia hiburan setelah karier bertarungnya, membintangi beberapa acara televisi dan film, terutama franchise Expendables dan Dancing with the Stars. Di dalam kandang, Couture adalah underdog yang tak kenal takut, sering mengalahkan pria dengan keunggulan ukuran besar. "The Natural" adalah juara kelas berat ringan multi-waktu dan kelas berat ringan multi-waktu di UFC.

Saat menonton acara olahraga pertarungan apa pun, it’s odd not to see Jacob “Stitch” Duran as the professional cutman on duty. Baru-baru ini, Bellator MMA dengan senang hati secara eksklusif mengamankan jasanya sebagai cutman di masa mendatang, after “Stitch” signed a multi-year contract with the Scott Coker-led promotion. "Stitch" terlihat di mana-mana acara olahraga pertarungan berlangsung, dan memainkan peran penting dalam sukses besar blockbuster baru-baru ini, "Kepercayaan."

Jika ada satu legenda yang hadir, siapa yang tahu satu atau dua hal tentang kickboxing dan MMA, sekarang Cung Le. Lahir di Vietnam, Le berjuang 17 kali di seluruh dunia dan tidak pernah tersesat sebelum melakukan lompatan dari kickboxing ke MMA, di mana dia memenangkan kejuaraan kelas menengah Strikeforce. Dari sana, San Jose, Kalif. - Pejuang berbasis akan terus memperluas pengakuannya melewati dunia olahraga tempur, membintangi banyak film fitur. Le tetap kompetitif hingga usia 40-an, menyelesaikan Rich Franklin dalam apa yang dengan suara bulat dianggap sebagai 2012 KO tahun ini.

 

Legenda di divisi kelas berat, Mark Coleman adalah UFC 10 dan UFC 11 juara turnamen, Juara Kelas Berat pertama dari promosi, dan Pride Fighting Championships 2000 Juara Open Weight Grand Prix. Pujian tidak berhenti di situ; Coleman mewakili Amerika Serikat di 1992 Olimpiade Musim Panas dan memenangkan medali emas di Pan American Championships dalam gaya bebas gulat 1990, 91 dan 92.
