John Oliver has come a long way from “The Daily Show.” His latest monologue is both funny and pointedly critical of Vince McMahon and the World Wrestling Entertainment empire. It also could be considered as a great explanation of why the UFC’s fighters should also not be considered independent contractors, as Vince’s wrestlers are considered to be. The IRS implications alone are puzzling. How do Vince and the UFC get away with it? Hopefully this attention brought to the issue inspires change, but as for fans bringing critical signs to the event, I doubt we will see that. Fans know that they can’t get on TV if they don’t bring a sign the WWE actually wants to broadcast. 无论哪种方式, if you are a fan, a casual observer, or a vociferous critic of wrestling entertainment, you should watch this entire clip:

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.
FNU搏击运动展: CM Punk Not Ready for Floyd, UFC Fight Night Preview and Heavyweights who Think Cheating Boxers Should Go to Jail
This week’s FNU Combat Sports Show starts off with Tom and Rich talking MMA for a while and then Tony joins in to cap off the show with a long boxing discussion. 听下面的全部广播:
JAKE HAGER, FORMERLY KNOWN AS WWE’S JACK SWAGGER, SIGNS EXCLUSIVE MULTI-YEAR DEAL WITH BELLATOR MMA
LOS ANGELES – Bellator is pleased to announce that it has reached a multi-fight, multi-year deal with 杰克·黑格, who was formerly known as “Jack Swagger” during his nearly nine-year run with WWE. The deal will see Hager make his MMA debut inside a Bellator cage.
Hager will compete at heavyweight and is expected to debut in 2018.
A native of Perry, 俄克拉何马州。, Hager would go on to be a collegiate wrestler at the University of Oklahoma, where he was an All-American and set the school record for most pins at the 285-pound weight class in a single season with 30. Following graduation and a conversation with legendary pro wrestling announcer and fellow Oklahoma Sooner, 吉姆·罗斯, Hager made the transition to professional wrestling and signed with WWE.
While in WWE, Hager would go on to claim multiple coveted professional titles during his time with the organization, including the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, ECW Championship and WWE United States Championship.
After ending his run with the WWE earlier this year, Hager turned his sights toward another avenue, fully focusing on his mixed martial arts skillset and testing himself against some of the best athletes in the world.
“This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. It’s something that’s a part of me, so it makes sense. I’m very happy with the deal. I’ve felt a lot of love from Bellator,” said Hager. “I think there are certain types of guys who need to be punched in the face and taste blood. I’ve always been a fan of MMA, I’ve been wrestling since I was five-years-old. It’s awesome to be with Bellator. They’re really going to put 100 percent towards it!”
“I’m excited to see Jake Hager debut for Bellator in 2018,” Bellator President Scott Coker said. “When I heard he was seriously interested in competing in MMA and when you look at what he did at the collegiate level, I was very interested in having him on our roster. I think Jake will expose new fans to Bellator from his previous run with WWE and he will be given every opportunity to prove that he’s the real deal inside the cage.”
Hager is the latest in a long line of high-profile signings Bellator has made recently and joins a heavyweight division that will crown a champion in 2018 through the recently announced eight-man Bellator Heavyweight Grand Prix.

WWE SIGNEE TO CHALLENGE GULLIVER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE IN PORTLAND
即时发布: 波特兰, 缅因 (八月 22, 2017) - 新英格兰战斗 (NEF) 将在波特兰首次亮相 星期五, 十一月 3, 2017 在灵气与 “NEF 31: 老港口。” 今天早些时候，, 格斗推广活动宣布在该卡上添加业余综合格斗冠军赛. 尼克·格列佛 (4-0) will defend the NEF MMA Amateur Heavyweight Title against Terrance Jean-Jacques (1-0).
“NEF is an amazing organization and I love fighting for them,” said Gulliver. “This will be my fifth fight for NEF and to me, this fight is different. During my fighting career I’ve always been fighting for someone, or something, and I’ve never really had time or the energy to really enjoy it. This fight I’m fighting to prove to myself that I’m good enough to be the heavyweight champion. People tell me every day after sparring or training that I’m good, but I don’t see it yet. I don’t see what others see and this is a time for me to see and believe. This camp I’m going to work and find myself in the process.”
欧智华, a product of First Class MMA and the Foundry BJJ, has been nothing short of perfect over the course of his amateur career with NEF. “守护者,” as he is known amongst his fans and teammates, has finished all four of his previous opponents, including a third-round technical knockout of Yorgan DeCastro (2-4) last fall to claim the title belt. DeCastro is the first, 并且只有, opponent to date to make it out of the first round with Gulliver.
“I have a lot to prove to myself and I’m going to look into the mirror on November 3rd and see the man I’ve wanted to be in the cage and out,” continued Gulliver. “I’m going to work as much as I can and never give up. Something I always repeat to myself is ‘cowards never start, the weak never finish, winners never quit,’ and I’m not quitting on November 3rd.”
Terrance Jean-Jacques brings a solid amateur wrestling background with him to the NEF cage. The Haverhill, Massachusetts native put together an impressive 22-6 record as the starting heavyweight for the NCAA Division I Iowa Hawkeyes as a freshman. He later transferred to Rhode Island College and was a runner-up at the 2015 Division III wrestling championships. Jean-Jacques signed a developmental deal with the WWE in the spring of 2016 to train at their performance center in Florida.
“Everybody fights for different things,” remarked Jean-Jacques. “我的是, I’m not doing this for anyone else but my daughter and myself. It’s much bigger than this fight. I’m reinventing myself and it’s kill or be killed. This will be the best version of myself to date. I have goals that I’m charging at in an unstoppable manner and I’m coming to get it. This is my destiny.”
“I want to thank my training partners and my family,” said Gulliver in closing. “I want to thank FirstClass MMA and The Foundry BJJ for everything they have given me. I’ve been training with FirstClass MMA and John Raio for almost three years now and I’ve been training with The Foundry BJJ going on eight years now. I appreciate all they do for me. I can name over 100 people that I train with every week that help push me, day in and day out, and I can’t thank them enough for it.
“这场斗争将是一场战争. If you put me and my opponent, 特伦斯, side by side and took bets, I’d be the loser all day. Shit, even I would bet against me if it was about size and looks. But this fight will be won by one thing and one thing only and anyone that knows me knows what I’m about to say. This fight will be won with heart. I’m not great at anything I do. I fail at most things, but I have a lot of heart and I push. Sometimes in life heart is what people need most. I’m looking to see what I’ve got on November 3rd and I’m looking forward to 11月4日 when I can wake up and see that I had enough heart and that I am the still the champ. Thank you to everyone involved in my life and thanks again for this fight I greatly appreciate it. Thank you to Terrance Jean-Jacques for coming to Portland to fight. 还, just a quick thank you to my friend Josh Jones, who made me remember the fun in this game again. He got me motivated to fight in this one. I’m hoping this fight is just like watching fireworks at a baseball game. If you’ve never seen fireworks at a baseball game come to this fight and I’ll show you the feeling.”
NEF的下一个混合武术事件, “NEF 31: 旧港,” 将看到该公司在波特兰迎来期待已久的首次亮相, 缅因州全新, 最先进的场地 Aura. 该活动预定于 星期五, 十一月 3, 2017. 门票现已公开发售，在 www.auramaine.com.
