Conor McGregor Fastest Climber On 120 Sportovní, MVPindex Most Valued Athletes On Social Media Of 2016

McGregor topped only by three NFL Players and Rory McIlroy, and ahead of LeBron James; Ronda Rousey in at Number 18; NFL Dominates with Nine Athletes in Top 25

Leden 11, 2017 (CHICAGO) – The Seattle Seahawks Russell Wilson (Do Not. 1), New York Giants Odell Beckham Jr. (Do Not. 2) and the Houston Texans JJ Watt (Do Not. 3) were officially named the Top 3 Most Valued Athletes in Social Media of 2016 in a ranking created in partnership between MVPindex™ and 120 Sportovní. UFC star Conor McGregor jumped an impressive 33 spots from last year’s index to claim the No. 5 spot in 2016, just behind golfer Rory McIlroy and ahead of Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James.

The ranking includes U.S. professional and Olympic athletes.

To determine the most valued athletes on social media this year, Chicago-based digital sports network 120 Sports collaborated with industry-leading social measurement and valuation platform MVPindex to rank athletes using a proprietary algorithm that evaluates all of their social activity throughout the past year. The ranking combines three separate scores: Dosáhnout (Fanoušci, následovníci, impressions), Engagement (záliby, comments, akcie, retweets, favorites) and Conversation (positive/negative mentions).

Na 9 p.m. A dnes večer, 120 Sports will reveal the full list and take a deeper look at the Top Valued Athletes in Social Media on its nightly sports show, The Rally, a two-hour, first-of-its-kind interactive prime-time highlights show exclusively on Twitter. 120 Sports uses up-to-the-moment insight from consumer trends to shape the way it produces its daily live and on-demand programming, providing real-time data on what is resonating most with sports fans.

The National Football League dominated the 2016 ranking with 9 players in the Top 25. The NBA followed with five of the Top 25 sportovci. Wilson claimed the top spot for the second straight year with an overall ranking of 0.983, remaining at the center of the social spotlight this year not only for his athletic performance, but also for his recent marriage to singer Ciara.

The 120 Sports talent team will provide insights and analysis on the Top 25 list, as well as break down the top viral trends, videos and photos on social media from this past year, ranking their top 3 in a variety of categories that resonated with sports fans this year like “Best Athlete & Team Mannequin Challenge,” “Cutest Athlete’s Kid Dance,” and “Best Workout Session Video.”

“We produce and deliver sports content based on whatever is the hottest story as indicated by what is trending on social media and what sports fans are talking about on social platforms,” said Jason Coyle, president of 120 Sportovní. “MVPindex helps us to quantify the commanding voices and influencers on social media from the past year so we can continue to relate with our fans by showcasing the athletes that matter most to them.”

Kromě toho, Cam Newton (Do Not. 16), Stephen Curry (Do Not. 11) and Antonio Brown (Do Not. 12) all made notable double-digit climbs up from 2015.
There are five women represented on the list in 2016; Alex Morgan (Do Not. 15), Serena Williams (Do Not. 16), Ronda Rouseyová (Do Not. 18), Hope Solo (Do Not. 22) and Kerri Walsh Jennings (Do Not. 25). The Seahawks, Patriots and Cavaliers all have two players each; the youngest person on the list is Beckham Jr. na 24, and the oldest is Tiger Woods at 41.

Top athletes in each sport include:

Robinson Cano (MLB)
Conor McGregor (UFC)
Russell Wilson (NFL)
Rory McIlroy (PGA TOUR)
LeBron James (NBA)
Alex Morgan (US Soccer)
Serena Williams (WTA)
Jeff Gordon (NASCAR)
Kerri Walsh Jennings (AVP)

The 2016 list reveals interesting findings including a spotlight on the growth in popularity of MMA/UFC in the past year, as both McGregor (No.5) and Ronda Rousey (Do Not. 18) are featured in the Top 25.

“For years, the yard stick in determining social media value was based solely on the number of followers someone had. But at MVP we know that quantity does not mean quality,” said MVPindex co-founder Kyle Nelson. “With our sophisticated Engagement Value Assessment™ tool, we look at social media impressions, engagement, virality and social authority to help figure out what it’s all really worth.”

Nelson continued: “This year’s list rewarded those athletes who were able to leverage their success on the field of play to also win on social. They were able to consistently drive high levels of engagement through compelling content and authentic conversations with consumers. This not only helps build their own personal brands but also makes them the most effective ambassadors for the brands they represent.”
The Top 10 of the list is as follows:

Russell Wilson (NFL)
Odell Beckham Jr. (NFL)
NENÍ SLOVO. Watt (NFL)
Rory McIlroy (PGA TOUR)
Conor McGregor (UFC)
LeBron James (NBA)
Tiger Woods (PGA TOUR)
Richard Sherman (NFL)

FNU Bojové sporty Show: Boxing and MMA Wrap up And Weekend Preview

Rich, Tony and Tom discuss last week’s busy boxing and MMA schedule and look forward to some incredible match-ups this weekend in combat sports. We also briefly discuss Jose Aldo refusing to believe the hype behind Bjorn Rebney and Georges St. Pierre uniting some other UFC stars to start the MMAAA.

Rozebrat UFC 207 Hlavní Card: Náhled a předpovědi

 

Podle: Rich Bergeron

UFC 207 znamená dlouho očekávaný návrat “Hlučný” Ronda Rouseyová (12-1) do Octagonu kdysi dominovala jako ženská šampiónka v bantamové váze. Titul převzatý z Rousey dramatickým způsobem od Holly Holm je nyní kolem schopného pasu Amandy Nunes (13-4). Rousey bude mít šanci to otrhnout a dát si ji zpět kolem vlastních boků 30. prosince.

Rousey byl z klece více než rok, a již nedávno potvrdila, že její kariéra ve smíšených bojových uměních se chýlí ke konci. Nunes je mladá, hladový a zastrašující jako smolař (+150) při pohledu na opasek proti legendárním Judoka a MMA juggernaut. Rousey přichází jako oblíbený na -185.

Další informace o kurzech a sázení najdete na 12SÁZKA.

Do této trháku se dostává více otázek než odpovědí. Will Rousey setřásl prstenovou rzi a vrátil se ke slávě? Je již jedním krokem k odchodu do důchodu? Dokáže Nunes ztišit své pochybovače a pokračovat v degradaci dědictví vůbec první šampionky žen v bantamové váze UFC? Ať se stane cokoli, první kolo bude rozhodující. Obě ženy se budou snažit, aby to byla rychlá noc.

Předpověď: Rousey se vrací s pomstou a zobrazuje mnohem vylepšenou obranu úderů a kopů. Nunes tvrdě bojuje a představuje to nejlepší, co Brazílie nabízí, ale Ronda má toho příliš co ztratit. Možná už nebude mít perfektní záznam, který by chránila, ale ona má perfektní důvod vyhrát tento boj. Musí také zjistit svůj status alfa, aby umlčela své vlastní kritiky a dokázala, že je zpět, aby získala zpět svůj titul. Rousey vyhrává knockoutem brzy ve druhém kole.

Další titul UFC bantamové váhy je na řadě v co-main eventu. Dominic Cruz (22-1) dává Cody Garbrandt (10-0) prasklina na pásu, což by mohl být opravdový slugfest. Ačkoli Cody nikdy neprohrál boj a vyřadil devět ze svých deseti protivníků kariéry na profesionální úrovni, Dominic Cruz (-225) se valí na sérii 13 bojů, která sahá až do března 2008. Garbrandt (+175) představuje příslovečné “šance punchera” zde, ačkoli. Vyhrál své poslední tři zápasy TKO nebo knockout. Všichni skončili díky Codyho rychlému děrování.

Předpověď: Vzhledem k tomu, že Cruz je taktický, obranný bojovník, bude se mu dařit, až se boj dostane do hlubších kol. Garbrandt nemůže vyhrát bez prvního kola, protože zkušenosti a surový talent, který Cruz přináší do klece, jsou jedinečné a dynamické. 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 “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).

Tentokrát, Velasquez is the favored fighter (-210) while Werdum is a +170 smolař. 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.

Předpověď: 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, ačkoli. 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.

Předpověď: 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 John “Ruce z kamene” Lineker (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.

Předpověď: 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.

Rich Interviews Daniel Weichel:

Veazey to Conor McGregor: I’ll fight you now

Baltimore, MD (Prosinec 6, 2016) – There was much talk throughout the boxing world last week when UFC superstar Conor McGregor received a boxing license from the California State Athletic Commission.

McGregor, widely considered the best mixed martial artist in the world, has been clamoring for a superfight with Floyd Mayweather. The bout would be a traditional boxing match. Talk surrounding Mayweather-McGregor received heavy criticism and it’s highly unlikely an athletic commission would sanction a five division world champion with a 49-0 record against an opponent making his debut.

Typicky, debuting boxers face opponents that only have a few professional bouts.

Enter Joey “Bazooka Joe” Veazey.

Living and fighting out of Maryland, the 18-year-old had a successful amateur career and turned pro with a four round decision victory in October. A big ticket seller in his home state, Veazey is an honor student focused on being a star in and out of the ring. While many other young professional boxers would wait for a high profile fight, Veazey is ready to show McGregor he should stick to his own sport.

“The whole boxing world already knows Conor McGregor doesn’t belong in the same ring as Mayweather. I just had my pro debut and he recently got licensed so on paper, that’s an approvable fight by the athletic commission. If he does face me however, I’d prove to the world that he’s not a boxer and end the hype he’s started. He thinks he can just walk into this sport and face the best? That’s not how it works. If you really want to get in the boxing ring, I’d gladly expose you right now because boxing is no joke!"

Veazey’s next fight is scheduled for Leden 13 in Maryland and his promoter Jake Smith of Baltimore Boxing has already discussed licensing McGregor with Maryland State Athletic Commission executives.
