FNU merangan Olahraga témbongkeun: UFC 214 breakdown, Nobody Likes Dana White, Tom and Tony break down Broner vs. Garcia and Lomachenko vs. Marriaga

This week’s combat sports show is a split personality situation. We had technical difficulties getting all of us together for the show, so we recorded Tom and Tony chatting with each other on Thursday night. I’ve added my portion today. It all worked out to some incredible insight about Mayweather vs. McGregor, Dana White’s growing problem with disgruntled stars in the UFC, Broner vs. Garcia and Lomachenko vs. Marriaga. We also break down Jon Jones beating Daniel Cormier at UFC 214 and the implications for a Brock Lesnar showdown in the Octagon. It’s far from likely, but it’s intriguing. We also touch on the retirements of Juan Manuel Marquez and Wladimir Klitschko.

FNU COMBAT SPORTS SHOW: Lou Duva Tribute Show, Psychic Tom Padgett absolutely crushes UFC 209 Predictions, Garcia vs. Thurman Recap and Analysis

Tony Penecale (kénca) and Lou Duva (bener) at the Brockton, Massachusetts dedication of the Rocky Marciano statue.

Our show this week was dedicated to Lou Duva (above right with our co-host Tony Penecale). Lou died earlier this week at the ripe old age of 1994. He was a great friend to Rocky Marciano, a promoter of 19 juara dunya, and a man who had all his irons in the one fire that lit his life: tinju. The promoter/trainer/manager/legend appeared on the FNU Combat Sports show years back, but unfortunately the audio is grainy and spotty. If you listen closely the gems our talk contains outweigh the difficult spots to hear.

The full Lou Duva interview is here:

We also look forward to the inaugural women’s featherweight title bout in Bellator tomorrow night and a star-studded UFC 209 fight card including two of the most anticipated co-main events in recent UFC history. Stephen Thompson gets his rematch with UFC Welterweight Champ Tyron Woodley in the main event while Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson fight for a shot to face Conor McGregor for the lightweight title in the co-main event. We also discuss GSP’s comeback fight against Michael Bisping, a transgender female on her way to becoming a male winning a Texas women’s wrestling title, and Muhammad Ali’s son being detained at a Florida airport in early February.

UFC 209: Woodley vs. Wonderboy and Khabib vs. Ferguson Preview and Prediction

Ku: Beunghar Bergeron

UFC 209 is fast approaching with two dynamic fights headlining the card, including a highly anticipated rematch closing the show. Fans are itching for a solid fight card to watch after multiple disappointing Pay-Per-View events left them wanting more in recent months. This is a card that could definitely deliver the action-packed, adrenaline-filled spectacle fans have come to expect for the price of admission. Here are my previews and predictions for the two blockbuster fights at the top of the bill.

Stephen Thompson (13-1-1) gets another crack at the welterweight title against Tyron Woodley (16-3-1) dina acara utama. Even the odds makers (Check out the M88 sportsbook for more betting info) have a tough time predicting how this highly charged rematch will go. Woodley comes in as the slight underdog at +110 to Thompson’s -140.

Leungit, the Champion came close to finishing the first fight in the fourth round. Rather than continue with his powerful ground and pound approach against the in-trouble Thompson, Woodley switched to a failed choke attempt instead. Thompson was able to weather the storm and eke out the draw, but he also won three out of the five rounds on the scorecard. The experts who set the betting lines are obviously conscious of this and factoring it into their calculations.

Can Woodley put himself in position to get the knockout win this time or will Thompson make the right adjustments to win every round this time?

Prediksi: Stephen Thompson made one glaring mistake in the first fight that led to Woodley having a huge chance to win by knockout. Woodley picked his spots and made the fight competitive, but with both fighters knowing so much about each other now he may not be able to repeat or improve upon his performance in the first fight. Samentara éta, Thompson is a skilled tactician, and he will focus on cage control this time around. He will use distance striking, superb defense, and constant movement to keep Woodley from doing any major damage this time around. Woodley of course has a chance to quiet all his doubters with one punch, but Thompson is the type of fighter who may not give the champ a chance to land that shot.

THOMPSON WINS BY UNANIMOUS DECISION

The co-main event will set the stage for Conor MacGregor’s return to the UFC cage. The Irish superstar will eventually face the winner of UFC 209’s co-main event: Khabib Nurmagomedov (24-0) vs. Tony Ferguson (22-3). This fight could potentially upstage the main event, despite the fact that Khabib is a -205 favorite to Ferguson’s +165 odds to win. Both fighters have enough momentum going for them to earn a title shot without fighting each other, but that doesn’t make this bout any less exciting on paper. Ferguson is 12-1 in the UFC with his only loss coming against Khabib’s last opponent: Michael Johnson. Ferguson lost to Johnson in 2012 by unanimous decision while Khabib submitted Johnson via Kimura in the third round of their UFC 205 clash last November.

Both fighters have equally imposing strengths. Khabib smothers many of his opponents with crisp wrestling skills to match his more than capable striking and submission ability. Sambo and judo are also staples of Nurmagomedov’s intense approach to cage fighting. He is so well rounded that he has an equal number (8) of submission, decision and T/KO wins, and all of his decision wins are unanimous.

Ferguson is on a nine-fight win streak. He is more of a volume striker, and he used excellent boxing to impose his will on the opponents he’s dominated so far. He is also well rounded like Nurmagomedov and can use that superb striking to secure submissions on stunned opponents. Manéhna geus 8 submissions to go with 9 T/KOs and five decisions.

PREDICTION: Ferguson may be on a tremendous run right now, but Khabib’s absolutely dominated every opponent he ever faced in his MMA career. McGregor may actually be rooting for a tie in this fight so he can have some extra time to negotiate a boxing match with Floyd Mayweather, JR. while these two contenders are setting up an inevitable rematch. Tapi, ties are rare enough in the UFC that one here is far fetched to imagine. It’s much more likely that this fight ends up with one fighter on the canvas, out cold or too dazed to continue. All signs point to that fighter being Ferguson, leaving MacGregor with the prospect of having to prove his mettle by beating a man nobody’s been able to beat before. Tangtosna, anything can happen in that cage and anyone can have a bad night at the office, but perfection is hard to argue with.

Miesha "Cupcake" Tate (15-5) vs. Tara McMann (8-1) (Women’s bantamweight – 135 lbs.)

Ieu sabenerna kajadian utama kartu awal dina Fox Olahraga 1. Tate requested to compete on this portion kartu eta kartu bayar-per-pintonan, taking a page from Urijah Faber’s playbook. Tate is also eager for a third fight with Ronda Rousey for the women’s bantamweight title. Both of these women suffered Rousey’s wrath, utamana McMann, anu demolished ku Rousey di ngeunaan menit taun ka tukang.

McMann nyaeta pegulat murni jeung saeutik pisan lain jeung repertoire nya, sedengkeun Tate diwangun dina kaahlian gulat nya diadegkeun pikeun jadi hiji striker éféktif. I think she will stuff McMann’s attempts to take this fight to the mat and use her vastly superior striking skills to keep McMann befuddled en route to a dominant victory.

Jelema nu meunang: Tate ku kaputusan unanimous

Yordania "ngora Gun" kadek (29-9) vs. Thiago "Pitbull" Alves (25-9) (Welterweight - 170 lbs.)

Alves geus alternated ngéléhkeun jeung karugian dina genep gelut tukang-Na, bari kadek rides kira meunang tilas dua fight. Alves sok bahaya bareng nya Muay Thailand jeung keuna, bari kadek landed hiji meunangna kahiji-buleud TKO di fight panungtungan-Na. Ieu kudu jadi perang stand-up seru jeung ayakeun guy daék méré inci. Jigana Alves nyaéta bajoang leuwih bahaya dieu, jeung bakal darat hiji shot nu sae pikeun sambel kadek konyol.

Jelema nu meunang: Alves ku buleud TKO kadua

Thales Leites (24-4) vs. Tim "The Barbarian" Boetsch (18-7) (Middleweight - 185 lbs.)

Leites asalna kana ieu tarung dina roll hiji, sanggeus meunang tujuh gelut tukang-Na, jeung dua panungtung datang ku cara TKO. Boetsch geus alternated ngéléhkeun jeung karugian dina opat gelut tukang-Na, kaasup meunangna TKO di fight panungtungan ngalawan Brad Tavares.

Boetsch nyaeta slow, plodding bruiser paling dipikawanoh pikeun derailing nu Hector Lombard hype kareta sabot mimiti dijieun perdana UFC-Na. Leites nyaeta parigel, bajoang bahaya nu can rengse Anjeun sareng leungeun kasebut ku kintunan. I think Leites will avoid Boetsch’s power and wait for Boetsch to make a mistake, mana Leits bakal capitalize.

Jelema nu meunang: Leites ku kintunan babak katilu

Joe Lauzon (24-10) vs. Nu "Raging" Iaquinta (10-3-1) (Lightweight - 155 lbs.)

You know what you’re getting with a Joe Lauzon fight. You’re going to see an exciting, Peta nu dipak bout nu paling dipikaresep bakal ditungtungan ku manéhna tumerapna dina kintunan slick atawa, dina kasus fight ngalawan jim Gedang, nalangsara hiji potong gnarly nu bakal ngajamin perang getih.

Iaquinta geus dina roll saprak nya waktu dina Nu pamungkas PACARAN Live, sanggeus ngan leungit sakali dina genep gelut tukang-Na. A win ngalawan Lauzon bakal jadi bulu nyata di cap sarta bisa jadi propel manéhna kana judul contendership sawala. Tapi Lauzon mangrupa salah sahiji anu pangalusna kaluman spesialis dina UFC, sarta ngarasa aya nu Samaun parigel geus kaluman sejen nepi leungeun baju-Na.

Jelema nu meunang: Lauzon ku buleud kaluman kadua

Tyron "The dipilih Hiji" Woodley (14-3) vs. Kelvin Gastelum (11-0) (Welterweight - 170 lbs.)

Sakumaha didadarkeun di luhur, Gastelum ditimbang di 9 pon kitu sora pikeun ieu tarung jeung bakal forfeit 30 persén dompet-Na langsung ka Woodley. It was reported that Gastelum spent time in the hospital ngarah nepi ka ieu tarung, nu nyumbang ka manéhna datang dina kaleuwihan beurat.

Woodley bakal ambek dina ieu tarung, jeung rightly jadi. It’s not fair that his opponent will have a weight advantage due to his own failure to do what he was supposed to do. Méré kiridit Woodley pikeun wanting pikeun tetep tarung lamun geus tangtu sampurna bisa kaharti ka nunda eta.

Woodley bakal nyalurkeun ngamuk-Na jadi blitzkrieg tina ngalanggar di Gastelum, jeung lethargic jeung meureun kénéh-luka Gastelum bakal teu boga response.

Jelema nu meunang: Woodley ku buleud TKO kadua

Anderson "The lancah" Silva (33-6) vs. Nick Diaz (27-9-1) (Middleweight - 185 lbs.)

Ieu salah sahiji sababaraha kajadian utama nu geus ngalawan fans buzzing di 2015. Many didn’t think Silva would ever walk again after his leg injury against Weidman, sumawona datang deui ka UFC tarung. Gaya matchup tina Diaz wanting ka nyorong Pace nu, get in his opponent’s face and sucker him into trading blows against Silva’s unrivaled elusiveness will be interesting to watch.

Diaz said he wouldn’t trash talk Silva during this fight out of respect. But if Silva keeps bobbing and weaving and dodging Diaz’s punches, we’ll see how long Diaz commits to that. I think we’ll see vintage Silva in this fight, nyieun Diaz kasampak konyol di sababaraha spot bari badarat panarajangan well-timed nu bakal ngalieurkeun jeung ngagagalkeun Diaz, nu bakal ngidinan Silva ka darat komo leuwih.

Diaz nyaéta teuing tangguh nepi ka rengse, tapi ieu tarung bakal nembongkeun yen Silva masih ngabogaan eta sarta mangrupa bajoang vastly punjul.

Jelema nu meunang: Silva by unanimous decision
