This week’s fight news unlimited combat sports show is a great mix of boxing and mixed martial arts. Tom, Tony and Rich cover all the action from last weekend and marvel at the master of his craft that is Vasyl Lomachenko. We discuss Chuck Liddell coming out of retirement with Golden Boy MMA, and Tito Ortiz taking the debate to be his first opponent. We also have a bit of a debate about Raquel Pennington telling her corner she wanted to be done after the fourth round against Amanda Nunes. Her coaches pep talked her into continuing, which led to more blood loss and facial damage from a clearly more hyped up and fresh opponent. Weigh in right here in the comment section if you have your own opinion on the situation.

Tom, Tony and Rich recap last week’s boxing action, including the quick KO of Vanes Martirosyan by Gennady Golovkin. We also look ahead to Ryan Bader vs. King Mo Lawal in the Bellator Heavyweight Tournament. Dodatno, Raquel Pennington takes on Amanda Nunes at UFC 224, and Pennington will likely have to win by knockout to get the belt in the Brazilian backyard of Nunes. We also chat about the week’s major news stories in combat sports, namely Chuck Liddell wanting a rematch with Tito Ortiz and Oscar De La Hoya promising to promote the fight in a new MMA venture for the boxing legend and promotional kingpin. Nedavno, after our broadcast Thursday night, Tito and Chuck moved much closer to that trilogy fight with Tito announcing he is coming out of retirement for the bout.

Dana White and the Women

Subota, Februar. 28, is going to be a landmark day for the Ultimate Fighting Championship. All the fighters on the pay-per-view card that day will pass their pre-fight drug…….never mind. That’s too easy.

That day will be the first time a UFC card features women’s bouts in both its co-main event and main event. After middleweight champion Chris Weidman was forced to withdraw from his fight against Vitor Belfort due to injury, the new main event at UFC 184 is Ronda Rousey defending her women’s bantamweight belt against Cat Zingano. U co-main event, much-heralded prospect Holly Holm will make her UFC debut against Raquel Pennington in another women’s bantamweight fight.

As I’ve mentioned before, UFC has come a long way from when Dana White told TMZ that women would “never” fight in his organization. Rousey will main event her third consecutive February PPV and Holm is widely believed to be the next in line for a shot at the title, should she defeat Pennington. Holm is still very raw in mixed martial arts, but trains with the world renowned coaches Greg Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn.

Rousey is carrying the flag for women’s MMA and for women in the UFC. Other female fighters have followed her into the Octagon, including Miesha Tate, Liz Carmouche and Alexis Davis. What do those three have in common? Svi su također pala na Rousey - Tate dva puta u Strikeforce i UFC, i Carmouche i Davis, kako u prvom kolu na UFC PPVs u 2013 i 2014, odnosno.

Rousey i Tate je feud je dobro je opisivao. To je dovelo do dva su trenera na The Ultimate Fighter, koji je uključivao ženski boraca za prvi put, koji u velikoj mjeri outshined svoje muške kolege u emisiji te sezone.

S obzirom da je uspjeh sezone, Najnoviji sezone The Ultimate Fighter istaknuta SVE ženske boraca i debi najnovije podjele na UFC-a, women’s strawweight. Carla Esparza, the former Invicta FC strawweight champion, won the inaugural UFC version of that belt after defeating Rose Namajunas.

So in the span of four years, UFC goes from having no female fighters and White emphatically stating that it never will, to being home to TWO female weight classes and undoubtedly the promotion’s biggest star right now in Rousey. Don’t believe me? Did you see the third Expendables movie? Or do you plan on seeing the film version of Entourage this summer? Možda ćete primijetiti poznato lice.

Pa, gdje ženska MMA otići odavde? Ja sam osobno veliki fan ženskog tuča, kao oni imaju tendenciju da bude među više zabavnih i prepuna akcije borbe na UFC kartici. Kao što sam ranije naveo, ženski borci su više nego sposobni outshining svojih muških savremenicima. Zašto je to tako? Možda žensko borci smatraju da imaju više dokazati unutar Octagon i uvijek ići do kraja. Možda idu u Octagon s više od "ići do kraja" mentalitet i aktivno traže završetak za razliku od "igraju na sigurno."

Borba između Rousey i Zingano on Feb. 28 će ići dug put prema određivanju budućnosti ženskih MMA. Ako Rousey pobjedi Zingano - koje su svi znakovi ukazuju da hoće - ona će u biti očišćena od njene podjele, sa samo nepoznati izazivača kao Holm i Bethe Correia ostalo. Ako je kazaljka vuče uznemireni, onda podjela ima novu turu uzbudljivih Borba čekanja.

But who knows what would have happened if Dana White kept his promise to TMZ?
