Ngokuvamile lapho mina bazibuza lowo mbuzo, kungcono in the ngemva nombono pay-per-futhi ngiyakujabulela ezibuza ngekuphimisela yini olandelayo zabashokobezi ngubani ligcwaliswe kuso. Lesi sikhathi emhlabeni, Ngikhuluma ngento esithinta Abaculi Zonke exubile amasosha e-Championship Ultimate Fighting.
The UFC umemezele lokhu sonto ukuthi kuyoba nokuqalisa eqinile kude, kude olunzulu more izidakamizwa ukuhlolwa ngemva fighters like Anderson Silva futhi Hector Lombard ukuhlolwa ukwehluleka for izidakamizwa ezinikeza (PEDs), ngenkathi Jon Jones futhi Nick Diaz ukuhlolwa kuhlulekile cocaine nensangu, ngokulandelana.
Izidakamizwa Ukwenyuka ukuhlolwa kanye nezinhlawulo sibi kungasiza UFC kuphela, futhi karate bebonke okuxubile. Kodwa yini ngempela eyabangela ngale ukwanda ekuhlolweni wehluleka? PEDs bebelokhu ingxenye yezemidlalo eside ngaphambi MMA fighters waqala ukuthatha kwabo, futhi baye inkinga MMA ngaphambi zokugcina ezingu-futhi-a-nesigamu.
Kodwa kubonakala fighters more ukuba ukubanjwa. Njengoba kwezemidlalo iningi, kukhona owawudinga ingcindezi ukwenza MMA futhi the UFC. Uma bangenzi, wena ngokuyisisekelo abakhokhelwa. Isidingo kwandisa UFC izinhlelo esenziwa deal yayo kanye FOX Kungase isici. Baya ekubeni on Spike TV – lapho kuphela ukusakaza "The Ultimate Fighter" kanye ngonyaka futhi bukhoma impi amakhadi amabili noma amathathu ngonyaka – cishe kokuba ezimbili bukhoma impi amakhadi ngenyanga futhi angabiki "The Ultimate Fighter" kabili ngonyaka eziteshini FOX.
Ukwenyuka izinhlelo kusho isidingo izidumbu ukugcwalisa leso izinhlelo. Kusho ukuthi fighters more baqeqesha for balwa, okungaholela ukulimala more. PEDs, ngaphezu akunika yona inzuzo yokuncintisana phezu isitha sakho, zikuvumela ukuba alulame ngenxa yokulimala ngokushesha. With the isidingo fighters more ukugcwalisa mpi amakhadi more, Ngicabanga ukuthi kungenzeka ukwenyuka kwezinga lalezi ukuhlolwa kwezidakamizwa emzimbeni yehlulekile okungenani kube ngokwengxenye ashiwo ukuthi.
Ukwanda kokusetshenziswa-testing izinyathelo The UFC sithathe nomphumela July 1. Yini esingayilindela uma enza? Nazi ezinye iziqondiso the UFC wethule.
Ngisho UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta wavuma ngesikhathi press conference kuleli sonto ukuthi izinto "zaziyoba zimbi nakakhulu ngaphambi kokuba kangcono 'ukuhlolwa entsha. Okuningi, it kusazobonakala kangakanani yalesi impela anamathele once July 1 ugicita emhlabeni. UFC ngaphambilini kubhekwe uyanda imizamo yayo izidakamizwa-testing phambi kodwa wadonsa emuva, izindleko bephawula kanye ngaphambilini botched umzamo ukwenza kanjalo.
Nokho, kanye ukuqubuka ephezulu profile izinkanyezi like Silva, Jones and Diaz ukuhlolwa ukwehluleka, izindleko angeke kubhekwe isithiyo kanye UFC kumele baqaphe. Ukupheqa Twitter feed yami kulandela sabezindaba, kwaba eerily ethule. Cishe akukho fighters kuhlaziywe in waqale. Kungenzeka kwaba ukuthi nje eceleni of the sabezindaba ezenzeka a ngoLwesithathu ntambama, lapho iningi labantu abasebenza noma mhlawumbe ube ezinye izinto ukwenza ngaphandle post on Twitter. Kodwa kwaba namanje kwamambala pretty. Kubonakala okunjengalokhu kwangenza nganaka kakhudlwana fighters ', njengoba kufanele.
Yini Ngicabanga ngeke kwenzeke? Kuzoba ukwanda test wahluleka kanye izinyathelo emisha yokuthwebula izithombe ithatha nomphumela July 1, Ngikhathazekile kwetfulwe beqiniseka. Kodwa uma ucabangela ukuthi UFC usekela izinhlawulo elibuhlungu kulabo abenza fail – kuhlanganise ukuvinjelwa iminyaka ezine – Ngilindela fighters elingcolile ekugcineni umjikelezo ngokwabo out and the ones Are ukuncintisana ahlanzekile (okuyinto iningi labo, mhlawumbe) ukuthatha indima lidlondlobala.
Izidakamizwa Ukwanda ukuhlolwa kade in the UFC. Umdlalo ubuciko exubile karate ngokwako isencane isakhasa, ikakhulukazi uma kuqhathaniswa neminye imidlalo like football, basketball and baseball.
