纽约 - 四月 30, 2018 – Prolific combat sports broadcaster Mauro Ranallo and his lifelong battle with mental illness are the subject of a new documentary film from SHOWTIME Sports®. BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER – named for the moniker Ranallo gave himself as a broadcast personality and DJ in the early 90’s – will premiere on SHOWTIME during Mental Health Awareness Month on Friday, 五月 25 在 9 P.M. ET / PT.

Ranallo has Bipolar Affective Disorder, a condition afflicting nearly five percent of the U.S. population according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI.org). As a national sportscaster for preeminent boxing, mixed martial arts and WWE events, Ranallo has long been an advocate for ending the stigma of mental illness. 现在, 首次, he exposes the true extent of his daily struggle. Through extensive behind-the-scenes video footage, candid personal interviews and detailed accounts from his loved ones and doctors, BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER takes an unflinching look at mental illness and its effects.

 

 

 

The film explores Ranallo’s career, including his work on the two biggest pay-per-view events in television history, and his relentless pursuit of a childhood dream despite seemingly insurmountable odds. Through this deeply personal portrait, Ranallo hopes that the film might inspire others to persevere in pursuing their dreams despite the challenges of a mental health condition.

 

 

 

“I have always tried to do my part to bring awareness to mental health issues,” said Ranallo. “Over the last several years, I allowed my best friend, Haris (Usanovic), to film me at my lowest points as well as at my highest. The idea is simply to show others who suffer that they are not alone and that, even when the outlook is bleak, you can overcome and achieve success. Mental illness is a life sentence—there is no cure—but it doesn’t have to be a death sentence.”

 

 

 

“Through BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER, Mauro Ranallo has chosen to share not only his life’s dreams, but his nightmares as well,“斯蒂芬·埃斯皮诺萨说, 总统, Sports and Event Programming for Showtime Networks Inc. “Having reached the pinnacle of his profession, Mauro bravely turns his keen observational skills inward to examine his own life-long battle. The result is a raw, poignant and ultimately inspirational film that personifies Mauro’s courage and selflessness.”

 

 

 

Ranallo is a popular fixture on today’s combat sports scenes. In a career that has spanned more than 30 岁月, he has called everything from “All-Star Wrestling,” a Canadian professional wrestling outfit, to historic MMA events for PRIDE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIPS out of Japan, to WWE SmackDown Live on USA Network, to many of the biggest boxing events in the world for SHOWTIME Sports. Ranallo was the first broadcaster to call play-by-play on boxing, 跆拳道, MMA and professional wrestling events on national television.

 

 

 

今天, Ranallo is the voice of three prominent nationally televised series: 精彩表演拳击锦标赛®, WWE’s weekly show NXT on WWE Network, 和 BELLATOR MMA on Paramount Network. Perhaps best known for his dramatic, excitable style, Ranallo is a student of the English language. He has already made a lasting mark on the industry having called the two biggest pay-per-view events in television history: Floyd Mayweather vs. 帕奎奥 (五月 2015, international telecast); 和梅威瑟VS. 康纳尔麦格雷戈 (八月. 2017, SHOWTIME PPV®).

 

BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER is produced by Brian Dailey, the network’s Vice President, Sports Digital Content and Strategy, and MALKA MEDIA GROUP. Directed by first-time filmmaker Haris Usanovic, the film is executive produced by Stephen Espinoza and SHOWTIME Sports.

FNU搏击运动展: 安东尼约书亚的潜在UFC合同, 帕克VS. 约书亚拳击前瞻和其他作战体育新闻

本周在FNU搏击运动展, 汤姆, 托尼和丰富的讨论范围广泛的议题. 我们甚至在一个小WWE新闻碰在演出结束. 我们首先对安东尼约书亚可能签署UFC拳击旗帜下战斗,后来在展示移动到本周末预览他的打击约瑟夫·帕克讨论. 我们还包括CANELO阿尔瓦雷斯临时停牌和马克伯内特在新的职业联赛战士参与. 听在播放器中充分展现出:

 

 

弗洛伊德·梅威瑟案, JR. VS. UFC笼中的CM朋克

由: 丰富的伯​​杰龙

梅威瑟, JR. 战斗尚未结束. 在格斗运动的危险世界之外,他与康纳·麦格雷戈在一场一边倒的拳击比赛中赚到的钱并不容易. 退休似乎总是在弗洛伊德吃饭, 迟早他会回来参加另一场震惊世界的重磅比赛.

 

CM Punk 需要抽签才能让我们对他的职业生涯感兴趣. 即使他击败了下一个人,他们也会在 UFC 八角笼里喂他, 朋克仍有很多东西需要证明. 让他与梅威瑟对决,以迎接这位世界级拳击手参加 MMA 比赛, 并使其成为弗洛伊德的梦想设置,为他提供合同中他想要的所有福利和赞助优惠.

 

弗洛伊德将自动成为一个失败者,立即在笼子里对抗麦格雷戈. 像CM Punk这样的挑战者给了他更多的战斗机会. 如果CM朋克能击败弗洛伊德,他就有机会真正开启自己的职业生涯.

 

事实是, 梅威瑟可以快速学习综合格斗运动, 以及他的速度和运动能力, 如果有更多引人注目的选择,他实际上可以在他的第一场综合格斗比赛中震惊我们… 如果他真的用行动来支持他在笼子里战斗的言论.

 

在拳击比赛巡演期间, 拳击比赛按他的方式进行后,弗洛伊德多次提到在笼子里与麦格雷戈战斗的想法. 他不会大声说出他认为不真实的事情,或者如果他付出努力的话可能是真实的事情.

 

几年前,在拉斯维加斯的梅威瑟训练课上,我有幸站在了伦纳德·埃勒贝旁边的拳击场边缘.

 

在他挥拳之前,我问他最喜欢拳击的什么. 在媒体热潮中我并没有试图靠近, 所以我认为他没想到这个问题.

 

他静静地坐着, 我不想让它像一个臭屁一样悬挂在风中. 我又问了一次, 甚至更大声. 他和自己打太极拳时没有看我的方向. “一切。” 他终于承认了, 然后他开始向所有媒体展示他的速度和拳击能力.

 

合并弯头, 后拳, 将踢腿和摔跤融入他的战斗习惯中可能会创造出梅威瑟真正的怪物. 还, 跟随他进入笼子的拳击收入对他和 UFC 来说都是巨大的. 在他这个年纪需要做大量的工作才能适应这项新运动, 但 CM Punk 作为第一个对手,设定的标准相当低,两人都有机会证明自己的归属. 给他们俩一个严肃的训练营, 用它制作真人秀, 这可能会发生.

 

 

 

“钱” 已经准备与 UFC 冠军泰伦·伍德利一起进行综合格斗训练, 他最近对伍德利和麦格雷戈作为战士给予了一些赞扬:

 

“所以我们必须调整一些事情, 将事情提升到一个新的水平. 你知道我不能忽视或击败任何 MMA 选手. 泰伦难以置信. 令人难以置信的战斗机, 强硬的竞争对手. 康纳尔麦格雷戈, 他是一个强有力的竞争对手, 地狱战士. 有很多艰辛, MMA 中有一些粗犷的家伙,我不能忽视或不尊重他们。”

 

 

 

MMA 与拳击的争论很久以前就一直在进行,直到我决定通过一系列广播节目来表达自己的观点,让一位专家与另一位专家对决. 我最喜欢的之一是 “冰人” 约翰·斯卡利对阵肯·沙姆洛克.

 

这并不奇怪, 这两位拳击手/教练员专家之间的争论转向梅威瑟跨界综合格斗. 这对弗洛伊德来说并不是一个新概念. 十多年来,他一直听到批评者抱怨他从未在 MMA 中取得成功, 总是想着有一天他如何才能证明他的仇恨者是错的.

 

 

任何认为同级别中最好的综合格斗选手能够击败弗洛伊德的人都从未看过他训练. 这家伙能通过几场调整战和冠军倾斜做些什么? 怎么样 9 数月的击倒和降服辩护的艰苦训练?

 

每个对 MMA 有所了解的人和他们的兄弟决定引用所有过去在 MMA 失败的拳击手的论点. 他们让我们想起了兰迪·库图尔(Randy Couture)轻松击败詹姆斯·托尼(James Toney)的怪诞表演战斗. 梅威瑟, JR. 不仅与詹姆斯托尼有机会在笼子里战斗时处于不同的水平, 他在另一个星球上.

 

 

弗洛伊德买得起最好的教练, 准备进入 UFC 八角笼的过程中,一切都是最好的. 他将不遗余力地投入财务和汗水,以巩固自己作为拳击和综合格斗历史上最好的跨界拳手的地位。. 谁拥有最好的真正运动员? 梅威瑟是拳击界最优秀的代表, 他没有太多时间来证明世界级拳击手可以通过正确的方法和策略统治 MMA 舞台.

 

 

 

麦格雷戈确实证明了他可以在拳击场上让弗洛伊德发脾气, 但在 UFC 合同的第三场比赛中,这场比赛可能会再次在笼子里进行. 弗洛伊德只需表明他属于, 但第一步是有勇气用行动来支持他的言论. 他确实在麦格雷戈拳击赛的拳击新闻发布会上说过,当他以自己的方式击败麦格雷戈时, 他会去UFC并在笼子里击败康纳, 太.

 

 

 

我预计一个 “创智赢家” 梅威瑟和 UFC 主席达纳·怀特之间的谈判类型. 弗洛伊德需要从促销活动中分一杯羹, 获得巨额赞助现金, 收取媒体收入的选项, 并且至少 $10 每场比赛只需基本工资即可获得百万美元. 为了获得他所设想的十亿美元合同, 只要弗洛伊德决定他需要为他的第一次战斗进行训练,律师就会解决细节.

 

弗洛伊德可以轻松地捞钱 $90+ 百万美元的赞助和媒体收入 $100 每场比赛的收入高达 100 万美元,Showtime 高管在他的身边,并且熟悉在镜头前的表现. 五场比赛意味着 1/2 十亿美元的差距,除非我低估了 UFC 会给弗洛伊德的基本工资. 即使他让 $200 每场比赛百万, 其余的必须来自整个公司本身作为股权, 这就是康纳·麦格雷戈一直要求的.

 

弗洛伊德作为所有者/合作伙伴有更大的优势,当 UFC 希望在某个时候推广拳击时,弗洛伊德将是一笔巨大的资产. 他还可以带着他的粉丝和所有想看到他受到鞭打并接受新学科教育的人. 他带来了眼球, 无论他走到哪里,都受到极大的关注和金钱. 在一个 $5 亿估值, UFC可能会拿出百分之十的促销费用来让梅威瑟正式加入并与他签订一份长期合同.

 

 

弗洛伊德可能产生巨大影响的另一个领域是吸引更多拳击手转向综合格斗(MMA). 我们已经看到马特·米特里奥 (Matt Mitrione) 和格雷格·哈迪 (Greg Hardy) 等足球运动员在综合格斗 (MMA) 领域几乎立即取得了成功, 那么为什么不是像弗洛伊德这样的世界级拳击手呢? 19-0 职业拳击手 Gervonta Davis 已经暗示将追随他的门生弗洛伊德进入 MMA 并表示 他只是在等 Dana White 的电话. 然后还有一些重量级拳击手需要考虑带入笼中, 和世界冠军 安东尼·约书亚热衷于尝试一下, 太.

 

 

 

所以, 如果你相信梅威瑟迄今为止关于这一主题的最具争议性的视频之一,那么梅威瑟在今年 12 月之前踏入笼子参加比赛的可能性很高:

 

 

如果有一半的机会,梅威瑟可能会成为一名令人难以置信的综合格斗选手. 他不是一个会轻易接受这样的挑战的人. 他将有最好的方法来进入笼斗状态. 他将把各种兴趣重新带回拳击比赛. MMA 辩论实际上甚至可能激发这场辩论的一个全新阶段. 如果弗洛伊德和 UFC 能够使这种伙伴关系发挥作用,整个格斗运动界都将从中受益.

 

 

至于那些认为弗洛伊德会被活活吃掉的人, 他们当然有权表达自己的意见, 但不要用麦格雷戈未能适应拳击作为你对弗洛伊德的限制. 梅威瑟第一次踏入笼子时不会与世界级综合格斗选手较量. 他不会引进像 Paulie Malignaggi 这样的综合格斗选手来跟上这项运动的步伐. 他将不惜一切代价做好尽可能最好的准备. 他已经通过邀请泰伦·伍德利作为他的官方训练伙伴来证明这一点. 他会亲自挑选他的第一个对手,并且在两到三场比赛顺利之前他很可能无法获得冠军头衔.

 

那些认为自己可以出现在 MMA 健身房并在六周内进入 UFC 级别的人的批评者会说我疯了, 但弗洛伊德确实是一位了不起的运动员,他可以平息他的怀疑者, 他不再年轻了. 现在就解决这个问题:哪种运动真正更适合培养理想的拳击手.

USA Men’s And Women’s Wrestlers To Compete At New York City’s South Street Seaport May 17 for Beat the Streets Annual Benefit

 

Select American Stars To Take On International Squad At Newly-Renovated Pier 17 In Ninth Annual Event; Youth Wrestlers And High School Wrestlers Take The Mat; Benefit Celebration Follows

 

 

 

 

 

纽约– Beat the Streets Wrestling, Inc. and USA Wrestling announced today that the men’s and women’s national wrestling teams of the United States will again compete in their annual benefit event on 星期四, 五月 17, but at a new location: South Street Seaport at Pier 17. The squads will take on international-level wrestlers from nations to be determined in the eighth annual wrestling celebration. Competitors for Team USA, which will likely include members of the 2016 Olympic team and 2017 World Championships team as well as other elite stars, and their opponents will be announced in the coming weeks.

 

 

 

 

 

“We are excited to celebrate the best of wrestling at the newly-renovated Pier 17 at South Street Seaport,” said Beat the Streets Chairman of the Board Mike Novogratz. “The Beat the Streets matches have annually been a fantastic showcase for the sport and its international appeal.”

 

 

 

 

 

This year will mark the first time that Beat the Streets has held its annual event at South Street Seaport. 在 2013, the event dubbed “The Rumble on the Rails,” was hosted in historic Grand Central Terminal and featured dual meets between Team USA, Russia and Iran. Playing an important role in the international Keep Olympic Wrestling effort, this historic wrestling event gained international media coverage and helped wrestling retain its status on the Olympic Games program.

 

 

 

 

 

The world-class competition had been hosted in Times Square six previous times. 在 2011, the United States defeated World Champion Russia, 5-2, the first sports event ever held in historic Times Square. 在 2012, another U.S. VS. Russia dual meet was held in Times Square, along with the U.S. Olympic Team Wrestle-off for the 60 kg/132 lbs. position on the U.S. Olympic Team in men’s freestyle. 在 2014, Team USA defeated a World All-Star Team in Times Square, 8-3. 在 2015, “Salsa in the Square” featured a meeting between Team USA and Team Cuba in the three Olympic styles, held shortly after the historic change in USA and Cuban political relations. 在 2017, the US met Iran in a dual meet in Times Square as a preview to the 2016 奥运会. 最后, 去年, Team Japan provided the opposition in a spirited competition at Duffy Square.

 

 

 

 

 

This will be the ninth straight year in which a major international-style wrestling competition will be hosted as part of the Beat the Streets Benefit activities. 在 2010, an all-star challenge featuring top U.S. wrestlers was held on the USS Intrepid, 停靠在曼哈顿西侧航母.

 

 

 

 

 

Top Beat the Streets youth wrestlers will take the mat showcasing their skills in exhibition matches beginning at 3:00 P.M. to kick off the NYC Benefit. For the third straight year, the Benefit will feature the PSAL Girls Freestyle Dual Meet Championships finals, showcasing the two top New York City girl’s freestyle wrestling high school teams from the spring girl’s freestyle season. Then it’s Team USA vs. an international squad at 6:00 P.M. with video highlights and special guest appearances followed by the Beat the Streets Benefit Celebration.

 

 

 

 

 

Tickets are required for entry and can be purchased at www.btsny.org212.245.6570 or by emailing Kate Linker at klinker@btsny.org. Standing room available for non-ticket holders on first come first serve basis. A ticket is required for the Benefit Celebration at the Marriott Marquis.

 

 

 

 

 

The Benefit Celebration will follow the wrestling competition. This unique and electrifying annual event helps Beat the Streets (BTS) raise significant funds to further its mission. Whether it’s providing a safe, constructive outlet for our urban youth, fighting childhood obesity, empowering women, or uniting entire nations, wrestling teaches persistence, 奉献, and the value of working hard to achieve one’s goals and creates opportunities for personal and universal growth. BTS currently serve over 3,000 student-athletes every year.

MOUNTAIN VALLEY WRESTLING ALUM TO MEET IN NEF MMA CAGE

路易斯顿, 缅因 (十一月 29, 2017) - 新英格兰战斗 (NEF) 返回刘易斯顿 星期六, 二月 3, 2018 与拼促销的下一个混合武术事件, “NEF 32: 超级 星期六.” 今天早些时候,, NEF announced the addition of an amateur flyweight bout to the card. 瑞恩·伯吉斯 (2-2) 将面临 内特鲍彻 (2-1) 在125磅重的战斗.

Ryan Burgess is wrestling royalty at his alma mater, 山谷高中, 位于拉姆福德, 缅因. Burgess is one of only four Mountain Valley wrestlers to ever win triple state crowns in wrestling. He amassed an amazing 151-23 overall high school record before graduating and turning his focus to mixed martial arts. He is currently a member of Berserkers MMA based in Rumford. Burgess is the former NEF amateur flyweight champion. NEF 32 will see him return to the cage after a year’s absence.

I’m very excited for this opportunity to get back in the cage,” 伯吉斯说. “I’ve taken some time off to make proper adjustments and focus on my career that started not long before my last fight. I’m ready to take my belt back and right now only one guy stands in my way. It’s not every day you can go to an MMA fight and watch two men who saw each other grow up scrap. 例如 2月3日, 内特, we will see what you’re made of.

Nate Boucher began wrestling at five-years old and due to some off-the-mat issues, never achieved the high school statistics of his upcoming adversary, 伯吉斯. 然而, Boucher’s wrestling skills were on full display back in August 2017at NEF 30 when he defeated Maine wrestling legend and four-time state champion Jeremiah Barkac (0-1) 通过第一轮提交. 鲍彻, who grew-up admiring Burgessprowess on the mat, is anxious to test himself against such a decorated grappler and prove that his wrestling stands up against the best. He will be looking to rebound from a split decision loss to Justin Witham (4-4) earlier this month in an unsuccessful bid for the vacant flyweight title. It was a fight many in attendance felt Boucher had won.

“The disappointment of the decision going against me on November 3rd still stings,” said Boucher. “I’m confident that I beat Justin Witham that night, even though two of the three judges didn’t see it that way. 所以, I’m going to get right back on the horse—it’s what we do—and take on the guy that holds a win over Witham in Ryan Burgess. I grew-up watching Ryan wrestle. We’re from the same town and I know what he brings to the fight. 我会准备好的. I’m coming for my title and no one is going to get in my way.”

NEF的下一个混合武术事件, “NEF 32: 超级 星期六,” 将看到该公司使其回归到安德罗斯科银行Colisée酒店的Lewiston, 缅因. 该活动预定于 星期六, 二月 3, 2018. 门票现已在网上发售 www.TheColisee.com.
