Breaking Down the UFC 207 Pangunahing Card: Preview and Predictions

 

Sa pamamagitan ng: Rich Bergeron

UFC 207 marks the long-awaited return ofRowdy” Ronda Rousey (12-1) to an Octagon she once dominated as the women’s bantamweight champion. The title taken from Rousey in dramatic fashion by Holly Holm is now around the capable waist of Amanda Nunes (13-4). Rousey will have a chance to rip it off and put it back around her own hips on December 30th.

Rousey’s been out of the cage for over a year, and she already confirmed recently that her career in mixed martial arts is coming to a close. Nunes is young, hungry and intimidating as the underdog (+150) looking to hold on to her belt against the legendary Judoka and MMA juggernaut. Rousey comes in as the favorite at -185.

For more odds and betting information visit 12BET.

There are more questions than answers going into this blockbuster event. Will Rousey shake off the ring rust and return to glory? Is she already one step toward retirement? Can Nunes quiet her doubters and continue to degrade the legacy of the first ever UFC women’s bantamweight champion? Kahit anong mangyayari, the first round will be crucial. Both women will be looking to make it a quick night.

Hula: Rousey comes back with a vengeance and displays much improved striking and kick defense. Nunes battles hard and represents the best Brazil has to offer, but Ronda has too much to lose. She may not have a perfect record to protect anymore, but she does have a perfect reason to win this fight. She also needs to establish her alpha status to shut her own critics up and prove she is back to reclaim her title. Rousey wins by knockout early in the second round.

Another UFC bantamweight title is on the line in the co-main event. Dominic Cruz (22-1) gives Cody Garbrandt (10-0) a crack at the belt in what could be a true slugfest. Though Cody never lost a fight and knocked out nine of his ten career opponents at the professional level, Dominic Cruz (-225) is rolling along on a 13-fight win streak that dates back to March of 2008. Garbrandt (+175) does represent a proverbialpuncher’s chance” dito, kahit na. He’s won his last three bouts by TKO or knockout. All of them ended thank’s to Cody’s lighting fast punching power.

Hula: Considering that Cruz is a tactical, defensive fighter, he will thrive as the fight gets into the deeper rounds. Garbrandt cannot win without a first round knockout as the experience and raw talent Cruz brings to the cage is unique and dynamic. He makes adjustments like no other fighter and uses body and head movement that seems to confound every opponent he’s faced in recent years. Cody will have to catch “Ang Dominator” to connect with him, and he’ll have just one round to do it. Cruz wins by late round TKO or Unanimous Decision.

A heavyweight clash between Fabricio Werdum (21-6-1) and Cain Velasquez (14-2) is also featured at UFC 207. The fight is a rematch of a UFC 188 war between the two goliaths, which ended with Werdum winning the championship bout by third-round submission (Guillotine choke).

This time around, Velasquez is the favored fighter (-210) while Werdum is a +170 talunan. This is another brawler vs. tactician match-up, and it could go either way. Werdum showed a weak chin against Stipe Miocic, and Cain will be looking for every opportunity to check it.

Hula: Velasquez dispatches Werdum inside of two rounds. Cain’s striking is superior to Werdum, and he will not make the mistake of letting Werdum take the fight to the ground this time. Velasquez by KO.

Neil Magny (18-5) and Johny Hendricks (17-5) come into the cage for UFC 207 as two of the best welterweights in the league. Both are experiencing some ups and downs in sport lately, kahit na. Magny had a three fight win streak stopped by Lorenz Larkin in his last bout while Hendricks lost three out of his last four fights. Hendricks is a far cry from his former self and a long way from his championship days. Stephen Thompson wiped the mat with Hendricks en route to a brutal TKO before Kelvin Gastelum stepped into the cage across from the former champ and took home a unanimous decision after three hard fought rounds.

Hula: Magny is the more durable and dynamic fighter, and Hendricks can’t get close enough to land his best power shots. Magny will stop Hendricksadvances, deny his takedown attempts and submit or stop the former champ before the final bell. Magny by third-round TKO.

Leading off the main card is another fight involving a former champion. T.J. Dillashaw (13-3) battles journeyman JohnHands of StoneLineker (29-7) in a bantamweight fight bound to be a future classic. Lineker brings an intensity, power and accuracy that is simply astonishing to witness. Dillashaw moves around the cage like an Irish stepdancer, dodging attacks like a Mexican bullfighter. Lineker showed in his last bout with John Dodson that he can be a crafty, technical fighter as well.

Hula: What T.J. lacks is Lineker’s strength: POWER. Lineker will learn to find his range in the second round and start to penetrate Dillashaw’s unorthodox defense. Midway through the third round he will catch T.J. backing up and end the fight on the feet with a brutal series of punches, kicks, knees and elbows against the cage. Lineker by third-round TKO.

An Open FU to UFC President DanaEffingWhite!

wtf

Sa pamamagitan ng: Rich Bergeron

Those who know me personally would all say I am a mellow individual, until you seriously cross me, katulad, for instance, if you become the subject of an investigative report I’m working on, o sue me for $25 milyon. 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.

This week, 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 DanaEffingWhite.

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

FU, DanaEffingWhitefor 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

Hey, 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.

Ngayon, 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” Tagataguyod, DanaeffingWhite???

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

Pinagsisisihan, DanaEffingWhite, 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, klase, 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, malakas, 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, gayon pa man?

UNLIKE YOU, DanaEffingWhite, Holly actually respects Miesha Tate and thought it would be a challenge to fight her. Oo, 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.

Ngayon, 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, alinman sa, you dome-headed dimwit.

Fighters “effing” lumaban, Dana. That’s what theyeffingdo, which you should know, since I am pretty sure you used to be aneffingmanager of MMA fighters yourself. Oo, 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 trabaho. It’s not. Ito ay “effinghard work.

Kaya, oo, 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.

Naku…at…maiba ako…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.

Kaya, 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, panahon! 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.

Kaya, 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, DanaeffingWhite, 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” araw, 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, masyado.

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, DanaeffingWhite, and it’s a delusional place. Like on the distant planet you live on, people actually believe YOU really, matapat, trulyeffingknow what it’s ACTUALLY like to be aneffingfighter? Do you actually believe YOU somehow could ever REALLY know that feeling?

REALLY?

Alam mo 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, ay “one who fights.And let’s be clear about oneeffingthing, DanaeffingWhite, I know fighters, at YOU are no fighter.

You are nothing like a fighter, DanaeffingWhite, and you nevereffing” magiging. You are too weak, both physically and mentally. 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,” o “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. Ngayon, 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, DanaeffingWhite. 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, panahon?

Kaya, you DON’T wanna be a fighter, Mr. 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 DanaeffingWhite

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?

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

Dalawang-oras na kampeon mundo, female boxer Amanda Serrano blasts trainer Ronda Rousey ni, at gumagawa ng mga hamon

Serrano with the WBO title
Dalawang-oras na kampeon mundo, Amanda Serrano (24-1-1, 18 KO’s) mula sa Puerto Rico, at ang kanyang trainer / manager, Isaalang-alang ang Jordan Maldonado ito masyadong lapastangan para sa komunidad boxing, mga komento na ginawa sa pamamagitan ng Edmond Tarverdyan, trainer ng UFC World Champion, Ronda Rousey in www.mmafighting.com.
“Alam ko na siya ay maaaring gawin ito,” Sinabi Tarverdyan MMA Fighting, “Alam ko na siya ay maaaring manalo ang pamagat world boxing. Ronda Spars sa boxing world champions na suntok paraan mas mahirap kaysa Cyborg,”, Nagdagdag din Tarverdyan na, “Ronda ay hindi kailanman mawawala ang isang round sa gym. Isang round. Sa boxing kampeon”.
“Tiyak trainer Rousey ay hindi magkakaroon ng anumang kaalaman tungkol sa mga isport ng boxing. Siya ay isang napakahusay na manlalaban sa Octagon, at talagang Binabati ko ang kanyang para sa lahat ng bagay na siya ay tapos na. Ang kanyang mga kalaban ay hindi maaaring box at Ito ay madali upang tumingin malaki ngunit kapag nakaharap sa isang mataas na kalidad na boksingero sa pagsuntok kapangyarihan ng aking sarili, naniniwala sa akin, bagay ay gonna baguhin. Sa isang boxing ring, canvas ay ang iyong kaginhawaan zone”.
Tungkol fight Rousey ni noong nakaraang Sabado, kung saan natalo siya Bethe Correia in 34 segundo, Sinabi Serrano, “Bilang isang boxing punto ng view, siya mukhang isang nobatos amateur fighter, pagkahagis masyadong malawak punches na walang cordination. Narinig ko na Cyborg ay hindi handa upang bumaba sa magaan division upang labanan Ronda, ngunit ako ay maaaring pumunta ng hanggang sa 135, at maaari naming manirahan sa isang boxing match kaya ang maaari kong patunayan ang kanyang trainer mali. Isang beses ko nagpunta hanggang sa ang magaan division, at manlalakbay sa Argentina para sa isang away mundo pamagat. Sa dulo, ang mga resulta ay na ako ay naging unang kailanman Puerto Rican female boxer na nakunan ng isang pamagat ng mundo sa dalawang klase ng timbang”.
Manager at trainer Serrano, Jordan Maldonado matulis out na “hindi namin tutulan iba pang mga estilo fighting. Kami ay kumakatawan sa boxing at gusto naming makuha ang ilang mga paggalang. Kami ay magagamit para sa anumang mga sparring sila ay maaaring gusto o ng isang boxing match, upang maaari naming ipakita Edmond Tarverdyan paano mali siya ay tungkol sa boxing”.
Sa Agosto 15, 2014, Serrano manlalakbay sa Argentina sa mukha WBO lightweight World kampeon Maria Tily’ Maderna, na sa oras na iyon, nagkaroon ng tatlong matagumpay na panlaban pamagat, ngunit hindi maaaring panghawakan ang handulong ng Puerto Rican power puncher, na natapos ang away sa ikaanim na round sa pamamagitan ng paraan ng knockout.
Sa tagumpay na ito, Serrano ang naging unang female boxer Puerto Rican na manalo ng mga pamagat ng mundo sa dalawang bahagi (130-135).
Unang paghahari title Serrano ay dumating sa Setyembre 2011 kapag siya knocked out Kimberly Connor sa unang round na maging ang IBF World kampeon sa super featherweight division.

UFC 190 I-preview at paghuhula Main Card

Sa pamamagitan ng: Rich Bergeron

 

Ronda Rousey (11-0) at Bethe Correia (9-0) kalooban headline UFC 190 sa pamagat bantamweight isang babae ulit na garantisadong upang makapaghatid ng mga paputok. Ang dalawang karibal ay lumaban sa sariling bansa ang nagdududa ni, ngunit Rousey ay isang buong mundo star na sa isang mahabang tula roll upang malayo sa kanyang MMA career. Correia ay isang talunan sa kanyang sariling bansa, ngunit siya ay din ng isang undefeated aaklas na maaaring magbigay Rousey problema kung ang armbar ay hindi dumating sa paglalaro.

 

Correia ginawa ng ilang insensitive pangungusap tungkol Rousey magpakamatay na humahantong hanggang sa ito labanan. Pagpapakamatay ay isang namamagang paksa para sa maglasa, na nakakita ng kanyang ama kumuha ng kanyang sariling buhay kapag siya ay mas bata. Rousey since ipinangako sa “parusahan” Bethe kapag sila ay matugunan sa hawla tonight.

 

Rousey ay isang perfectionist, malinaw at simple. Basta kapag sa tingin mo ay hindi siya maaaring makakuha ng anumang mas mahusay na, surpresa siya sa iyo at ang lamang na. Correia ay isang matigas-pakikipag-usap at tiwala fighter, ngunit siya ay wala na lang malapit level Rousey ni. Kung siya ay may anumang pagkakataon sa lahat, ito ay sa unang round. Rousey ay hindi naghahanap para sa isang mabilis submission kung tayo ay naniniwala sa kanya inamin intensyon ng nasasaktan Correia ay tunay. Correia maaaring gamitin ang kanyang kakayahan na maabot at power-pagsuntok sa garalgal Rousey maaga at kumatok sa kanya sa labas, ngunit na nangangahulugan ng pagpunta sa sa daliri ng paa sa isang kampeon na ipinapakita much-pinabuting kapansin-pansin sa kabuuan ng kanyang huling ilang fights.

 

Hula: Maghanap para sa Rousey upang bumalik sa kanyang pangako at tapusin ito labanan ng maaga, bilang kanyang mga damdamin ay kumuha ng higit at itigil ang kanyang mula sa masyadong maraming iniisip tungkol sa pagguhit ng isang ito sa labas. Siya ay lamang ng paglusong sa, ibabagsak at walk out sa unang round may isa pang TKO upang idagdag sa lahat ng kanyang mga panalo submission. Siya ay bagsak ang malaking ilong Correia ni malawak na bukas at judo siklutin ang nagdududa sa banig kung saan makikita niya isara ang show na may epektibong lupa at pound.

 

Nagtatampok ang co-main event Mauricio Rua (22-10) kumpara Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (21-6) sa isang rematch ng isang away na nangyari sa ilalim ng banner puri sa Enero ng 2005. Nanalo Rua kang away sa pamamagitan ng lubos na nagkakaisa desisyon. Oras na ito, pareho mandirigma ay mahaba nakaraang kanilang kalakasan, at Rua pumapasok sa hawla na may manalo lamang ng isa sa kanyang huling apat na bouts. Nogueira ay mayroon ding isang kapansanan dahil darating siya sa higit sa isang taon matapos ang kanyang huling labanan, kung saan ay isang tagibang TKO pagkawala sa Anthony Johnson na tumagal lamang 44 segundo.

 

Hula: Rua ay hindi bilang mabigat na kamay ng Johnson, at Nogueira ay dapat na makakuha ng kanyang paghihiganti sa laban na ito sa pamamagitan ng pag-iikot ng Rua sa ikalawang o third round. Nogueira ay magkakaroon ng mas mahusay na ulo kilusan at pagtatanggol sa rematch, at Rua lamang ay hindi magkakaroon ng anumang mga kamakailan-lamang na panalo laban sa anumang malaking pangalan. Siya ay sa paglipas ng kanyang ulo sa laban na ito, at “Minotouro” ang pagpunta sa magpadala sa kanya sa pagreretiro.

 

Antonio Nogueira Rodrgio (34-9-1) lumalaban din sa undercard laban “Ang Skyscraper” Stefan Struve (25-7). Ito ay dapat na isang kapanapanabik na labanan, at ipinakita Mark pamamaril na Struve ay madaling kapitan sa haymakers. Maaari Nogueira pagsamantalahan na kahinaan, o magpapakita Struve siya ay isang legend killer oras na ito out?

 

Hula: Nogueira pagdating sa sa lahat ng mga karanasan sa mga ito ulit habang Struve may physicality. Ito ay sinabi na ang mas malaki ang mga ito, ang mga mas mahirap na sila ay bumabagsak, ngunit Struve ay isang exception. Siya ay dapat na magagawang upang samantalahin ng kanyang kabataan at sa kanyang mahabang oras ang layo mula sa hawla Pagtugon pinsala at alalahanin sa kalusugan. Siya ay out-aklas Nogueira at labanan ang taas sa kabuuan ng unang dalawang rounds, sa wakas pagtatapos Nogueira off sa isang walang tapos na combo maaga sa ikatlong.

 

Iba pang mga pangunahing highlights sa card na ito ay kinabibilangan ng MMA pagbubunyag ng mga balak ng mga kababaihan sa pagitan ng Jessica Aguilar (19-4) at Claudia Gadelha (12-1) at isang matimbang paglalaban sa pagitan Soa “Ang malaking bagay” Palelei (20-4) at Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva (18-7-1).

Ronda Rousey- The Cleaner


Credit Larawan: Esther Lin/MMA Fighting

Given that it’s tax season, it’s a good time to remember that are there three guarantees in life: death, taxes and Ronda Rousey once again showing why she is the best female fighter on the planet with a first-round demolition of her opponent.

Rousey’s performance at UFC 184 last month was her finest to date. She submitted Cat Zingano, widely regarded as Rousey’s biggest challenge, sa 14 segundo. While Rousey was aided by an absolutely horrible strategy by Zingano, her virtuoso performance led to another discussion of who has what it takes to dethrone Rousey. It also led to a ridiculous conversation of whether or not Rousey could compete against and defeat male fighters in the UFC’s bantamweight division. The less time spent on that absurd notion that accomplishes nothing but trying to discredit the great fighter Rousey is, ang mas mabuti.

Oo naman, the first name that always comes up is Cris “Cyborg” Justino, the Invicta FC featherweight champion. She is expected to drop to 135 pounds for a fight with Invicta this summer before moving on to a fight with Rousey. Gayunman, Cyborg attempted a drop to bantamweight last year and abandoned those plans. So I wouldn’t hold my breath on the long-awaited grudge match between Rousey and Cyborg happening anytime soon.

Rousey recently expressed a desire to fight Bethe Correia, who battered two of Rousey’s “Four Horsewomen” teammates and has been calling Rousey out ever since. Jessica Eye has also staked her claim to a title shot, but neither of these women pose a real threat to Rousey. During UFC 184’s postfight coverage, Daniel Cormier floated the idea of his colleague Miesha Tate getting a third crack at Rousey.

Besides the fact I think trilogies should be reserved only when each fighter has a victory over the other, I see no reason why third time would be a charm for Tate. While she is the only woman to go further than the first round with Rousey, Tate has plateaued as a fighter while Rousey has gotten better. If the two were to fight a third time, I see no reason to believe the result would be any different.

So where does this leave Rousey? Sa aking opinyon, she has cleaned out the UFC women’s bantamweight division. There is no one who poses a credible threat to her. If Zingano adjusted her strategy and received another shot at Rousey, she might have a chance of winning. Beyond that, if Rousey decided to go out on top and build on her burgeoning film career, I don’t think anyone would hold it against her.

Rousey is currently on a run akin to Anderson Silva’s run atop the UFC’s middleweight division. He dominated everyone in his path and except for his first fight with Chael Sonnen, made it look easy. Rousey’s hardest fight to date was against Liz Carmouche, when she had Rousey in a rear naked choke in the first round of their fight in 2013 before Rousey was able to escape and secure another armbar victory.

Silva’s reign atop the middleweight division came to an end when the previously unknown Chris Weidman came along and showed no fear and took the fight to Silva. Maybe that’s what needs to happen with Rousey. She needs to find an opponent who will get right in her face, give her no quarter and take the fight to her. Zingano attempted that at UFC 184, but her overzealousness ended up costing her dearly.

Until Rousey finds her own Chris Weidman, we can add another superlative to the many that are already attached to the women’s bantamweight champion: cleaner. Rousey is fresh out of worthy challengers to her crown, a task she accomplished by cleaning out her division.
