Herpes Derails Major UFC Light Heavyweight Fight at UFC Vegas 106

Skryf 'n opmerking

Deur: Rich Bergeron

If just having Herpes isn’t enough of a downer, getting a huge payday rescheduled because of complications from the virus has to be completely demoralizing.

Lig Swaargewig Rodolfo Bellato (pictured at above left) recently had to pull out of a fight at UFC Vegas 106 with UFC Legend Paul Craig. The slashing of the bout from the card came at a very late hour. Announcers had to let the viewing public know about the major change right in the middle of the event.

Oddly enough, it was Bellato himself who explained it was a case of Herpes that caused him to back out of the fight. The UFC broadcast team would only refer to Bellato’s inability to compete as “an unspecified medical issue.” The only thing that might be worse than dealing with Herpes is having to tell everyone in the world you’ve got Herpes.

Most people would be happy to avoid the explanation Bellato gave and just say no comment. Egter, the Brazilian behemoth was up front and honest in explaining why he had to miss a chance to take on Paul Craig in the Octagon.

“I never thought that herpes would take me out of a fight! I’m sorry to all of you guys, but it’s something that’s out of our control,” Bellato wrote in an apology post on social media. “I’ll have more news soon!” In the accompanying video, Bellato displayed a closer look at the “herpes,” which thankfully appeared to be of the cold sore variety.

There are the cold sore only kind of herpes and then there are the dreaded genital herpes.

According to the Mayo Clinic:

“Cold sores spread from person to person by close contact, such as kissing. They’re usually caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), and less commonly herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). Both of these viruses can affect the mouth or genitals and can be spread by oral sex. The virus can spread even if you don’t see the sores.”

Glo dit of nie, this has actually happened a couple times before with a cold sore derailing a team versus team fight in two recent seasons of The Ultimate Fighter. First it happened on Season 32 (Grasso versus Shevchenko) when Omran Chaaban had his fight with Shamidkhan Magomedov called off due to Chaaban developing a cold sore. During the prior season a cold sore also derailed a Team McGregor versus Team Chandler bout. Timur Valiev and Trevor Wells were the combatants then, and they fought later on in that same season after a cold sore suffered by Wells saw their first opportunity scrapped.

As UFC officials work to reschedule the bout, Bellato will have to address the condition and make sure he treats his outbreak appropriately. It’s definitely one of the weirdest ways to lose a prime fight opportunity in the most premier MMA league on the planet.

On the bright side, both fighters will get a little bit more time to prepare for each other’s unique styles. Fans could see a better fight as a result. Craig will be entering the cage for this bout riding a three-fight losing skid while Bellato’s most recent blemish on his record was a lackluster performance against Jimmy Crute that ended in a draw. It’s a legend versus prospect fight all the way, and both men will be trying to prove that the Octagon is where they belong.

Deur: Rich Bergeron

There’s no PFL MMA this week and nothing in the works for them until June. This week the UFC offers us another “Apex” fight card headlined by Gilbert Burns (22-8) versus Michael Morales (17-0) with UFC Fight Night 256. It’s really the only major MMA betting action available this weekend.

Let’s get into the available boxing action before we dive into the best UFC betting opportunities for the week. Our boxing bout of the week is a rematch for the ages.

We go to the Copper Box Arena in London where Johnny Fisher (13-0, 11 Uitklophoue) neem op David Allen (23-7, 18 Uitklophoue) in part two of a British heavyweight boxing odyssey. Their first fight generated serious controversy with many experts convinced Allen won the bout with Fisher winning two scorecards by a single point (95-94) and Allen winning by three points on the third judge’s card (96-93).

Fisher is still a formidable favorite on DraftKings met 'n -275 moneyline despite all the doubts about his last performance. It’s not hard to see why the bookies like Fisher. The decision against Allen last time interrupted a 7-fight knockout streak for him. Allen has only been knocked out once, by a 4-0 fighter in the 10th round back in 2018.

Allen comes into this fight with a chip on his shoulder and a +210 moneyline. He’s knocked out some very good fighters himself, guys like Lucas Browne (31-6, 27 Uitklophoue). A Knockout bet on Allen would probably seem absurd, but since he’s a fighter who should feel shafted by the judges last time out, it’s an intriguing choice.

Aan die een kant, Allen might have honestly been the better fighter last time out. Aan die ander kant, “The Romford Bull” Johnny Fisher seems more capable of his own knockout to end the night early.

Due to the fact that we know Allen hasn’t been stopped in 7 jaar, this might be a good spot for an “alternate choice bet.” Fisher by Decision once again or Allen by KO/TKO/DQ. We could also have better judges this time and Allen going the distance again. Allen could certainly end up winning his own decision this time around. If you think there’s no doubt he’s the better man, go with the moneyline just in case the KO never comes.

There’s not much juice with a moneyline bet on Fisher, but maybe there is if it’s thrown into a solid parlay.

This fight is featured on DAZN and is one of two boxing matches this weekend with close enough lines to debate about. Uitteken oddsjam to find which sportsbook is offering the best odds for this fight.

Our second match is worth some serious discussion as Artur Reis (14-1, 9 Uitklophoue) is taking on Mate Rudan (8-0, 7 Uitklophoue) in Germany for the IBF European Super Middleweight Title. The Croation Rudan is the underdog with a +140 moneyline on Draft Kings even though he’s finished 7 of his eight total opponents.

Rudan also comes in with a record that is remarkably similar to the one brought into the ring by the only fighter to beat Reis: Osleys Iglesias (nou 13-0, 12 Uitklophoue). One the other side of Rudan’s success is the fact that he’s only battled four opponents with winning records. Compare that to the 9 guys with more wins than losses challenged by Reis over the years.

Reis is a -180 moneyline bet on Draft Kings. This will be his second 10-round fight.

Rudan will be going into his first 10-rounder. The only other time Rudan fought in Germany was when he beat a fighter with a ridiculous losing record of 5-52-4.

For Reis, this will be his thirteenth fight in his home country. The Wolfsburg resident might see “hometown cooking” factor in his favor if the fight is close. Reis has only knocked out fighters with subpar records so far in their careers, and Rudan is not that kind of slouch. This makes Reis by moneyline or decision the two best bets to drop on this contest.

UFC Fight Night 256 Apex Main Card

Michael Morales (-850) neem op Gilbert Burns (+575) at Welterweight in the classic grizzled veteran versus new phenom main event of this event. Morales is undefeated, knocking out three of his five UFC opponents since he arrived on the scene through a decision win on Dana White’s Contender Series in September 2021.

If you’re afraid of the -800 option of the moneyline bet, take a chance on Morales by TKO for -150 op Draftkings. Keep in mind this will be the 24th UFC fight for Burns. Can he rely on the experience factor to even the odds? If you like Burns, die +575 moneyline is really the only way to go. Burns has a very well-balanced winning record with 6 Uitklophoue, 9 voorleggings, en 7 decisions.

Even though Burns lost 4 van sy laaste 6, all four of those fighters he lost to are considered top-level UFC talent. The fighters who beat him in that stretch were Sean Brady, Jack Della Maddalena, Belal Muhammad, and Khamzat Chimaev, who currently claim a combined 74 wins and just 7 verliese.

Is Morales at that elite level yet? Is he really in the same category as those killers? The bookies seem to think he is with those astronomical odds. Can he do what Della Maddalena did to Burns? Ek weet nie, but he’ll have five rounds to try.

Burns is 38 years old and may take a page out of Jose Aldo’s book and retire if he loses this fight. Will he be inspired enough to grind out a win and prove there is a difference between legends and prospects in the UFC? If you think so, 'n “alternative method of victory double chance” bet is in order. Burns by decision or Morales by KO. Draft Kings offers that option at -200 odds.

If you back Burns earning a win by submission you’ll get a windfall payout with that outcome currently sitting at +1400 odds on Draft Kings. Burns last notched a submission against Neil Magny with an arm trial choke in the first round to end their January 21, 2023 bout at UFC 283. Burns has not knocked anyone out in a little over five years of competition.

The co-main event is more of the same with veteran submission artist Paul Craig (17-9-1, 13 voorleggings) pitted against young upstart Rodolfo Bellato (12-2) at Light Heavyweight.

Suprisingly, two out of Craig’s last three wins have actually come by TKO. You’ll get +700 odds if he knocks out Bellato. Craig is a +400 on the moneyline, so that’s a great return without having to pick a method of victory. If you think he gets back to his submission ways, you’ll get +550 odds for that on Draft Kings.

Bellato is -535 on Draft Kings, even though he only has two official UFC fights compared to “The Bearjew” entering the cage for his 20th fight with the promotion. A better bet if you like Bellato is TKO/KO/DQ or Submission at -280 op Draft Kings.

Losing five of his last six fights should not scare you away from putting a flyer on the Paul Craig moneyline here. He’s been matched with real bruisers and established veterans in all those bouts. Here against an unproven new guy, he’s game to get a win. Bellato has been knocked out twice, both times by fellow UFC Fighter Vitor Petrino.

Mairon Santos (15-1) makes his way to the main card this Saturday in another youth versus experience matchup against Sodiq Yusuf (13-4) at Lightweight. Santos isn’t even a year into his official UFC career while Yusuf is entering his 10th official bout with the promotion.

Santos is also coming off a controversial split decision win against Francis Marshall. Both fighters battled to a close decision with Santos getting the nod in a fight he definitely struggled in. Yusuff lost three of his last five fights, but all of them were against top tier UFC talent.

I personally like Yusuff on the +120 moneyline to test Santos (-142) to his limits. His finishes have all been recorded in the first round during his time in the UFC so far. Santos has his one loss by knockout, so if you’re feeling lucky you could go with Yusuff by Knockout at +550. Yussuff by first round knockout is hovering around +1100 odds with a first round submission posting on Draft Kings by +1400. It should be a safe moneyline bet for Yusuff here. I don’t see Santos bringing the same experience and wisdom to the cage that Yusuff brings.

Yusuff might also be worried he won’t stick around the promotion much longer without a big finish against Santos. Yusuff by TKO or Submission is sitting at +400. It’s tempting. This guy’s back is against the cage and the UFC frowns on retaining fighters who lose multiple fights in a row. It’s a time in his career where he has to put on a good show or go home. The UFC has too much talent like Mairon Santos coming through the development and prospect phases. Yusuff is in a tough spot and has to have a phenomenal fight performance to impress the bosses.

Dustin Stoltzfus (16-6) is coming into his Middleweight fight with the dominant Nursultan Ruziboev (35-9-2, 2 No Contests) as a serious underdog with a +240 moneyline price tag.

Ruziboev is a master of stoppages with 33 van sy 35 wins coming by submission or knockout. Ruziboev by TKO/KO/DQ or Submission is -200. It’s a little more economical than his -298 moneyline odds.

Only one seasoned and formidable UFC fighter could stop a 10-fight first-round finishing streak Ruziboev carried into their May 11, 2024 stryd. Joaquin Buckley managed to win a unanimous decision against the man from Uzbekistan, so that’s the blueprint to beat him. Can Dustin Stoltzfus figure out how to use the same strategy to avoid being stopped early himself?

Ruziboev doesn’t like to go to a second round if you look at his history. The second round doesn’t typically last very long if his opponent gets there. The under 1.5 rounds option at -125 odds is very attractive for this bout. Stoltzfus has two recent losses in the first round.

What makes a flyer on the Stolzfus side intriguing is that he is also capable of earning a stoppage. Hy het 8 UFC fights under his belt and is coming off a first round knockout win over Marc-Andre Barriault in sy laaste geveg. This will be Ruziboev’s 5th official UFC fight.

Stoltzfus by TKO/KO/DQ or Submission is a fat +400 op Draft Kings. To prevent Ruziboev from steamrolling over him, Stoltzfus will need to tap into his own submission and knockout skills. It’s hard to imagine this fight going the distance.

Play it safe with the moneyline or bet on the Stoltsfus upset by stoppage if you really believe Ruziboev is over-rated here. If you don’t like either side but doubt the fight will reach the final bell, bet against the fight to go the distance. That gives you -475 odds, so that’s not much juice outside of a parlay.

Ruziboev by TKO/KO/DQ or Submission is my personal suggestion here after analyzing the history of both fighters. The under 1.5 line is also one you should seriously consider if you really think Stoltzfus can potentially get a quick stoppage of his own.

Julian Erosa (31-11) is another underdog with potential on this UFC card up against Melquizael Costa (23-7) at Featherweight. Costa won two of his last three fights by submission, but Erosa has never lost by submission in a 42-fight career. A whopping 26 of Erosa’s 31 wins are via stoppage, maak sy +145 odds to win very attractive here.

Both fighters are enjoying three-fight win streaks going into this bout. Costa is the favored fighter here at -175 odds to win on Draft Kings. This is despite the fact that Erosa has much more UFC experience. Erosa finished his last three fights inside the first round with two guillotine choke submission wins (oor Christian Rodriguez en Ricardo Ramos) and then a TKO victory over Darren Elkins his last time out.

Costa’s last win against the same Christian Rodriguez went the full distance. Common opponent MMA math isn’t always conclusive, but I think it speaks volumes here. My best bet recommendation here is to go with Erosa for the upset on the moneyline. Egter, slightly better odds are available if you choose the statistically viable chance of Erosa winning by TKO/KO/DQ or Submission at +275.

If you absolutely believe Costa wins this fight, it’s a no brainer to take him winning by TKO/KO/DQ or Decision at -150 odds. Both fighters have slick submission skills, but I don’t see Costa submitting Erosa for the first time in his whole career here. Ook, Erosa had two straight losses by first-round knockout before embarking on his latest three-fight finish fest. Erosa has seven of his 11 losses by knockout, so he definitely could be susceptible to Costa’s striking here.

I like Costa and think he’s a great scrapper, but I just think Erosa is on too much of a roll with the finishing moves to bet against him here. Call him my “Dog Lock of the Week.”

Liggewig Gabriel “Gifted” Groen (11-5) comes into his UFC Fight Night 256 contest with Matheus Camilo (9-2) on a two-fight losing skid in the UFC. It seems to be a theme on this card with the UFC veteran sides of the matchups fighting the younger prospects. Camilo is making his organizational debut against a fighter who’s only been beaten by some of the best in the UFC’s Lightweight division in recent history.

It’s a little surprising to see Camilo as the favored fighter here with -230 odds to win even if you look at the Brazilian’s six-fight win streak in the feeder leagues.

Green is a +190 underdog going into his sixth UFC bout. Hy is 2-3 in the UFC so far, but his losses came against Bryan Battle, Ian Garry en Daniel Rodriguez. Definitely no cheap dates on that list. Egter, the downside is he’s coming off the shelf after two years of inaction while Camilo just fought last December.

Camilo’s only two losses have come by submission, and Green has 6 of them to account for most of his 11 career wins. Aan die ander kant, Camilo has four knockout wins, and Green has been knocked out in three of his five losses. Sounds like the perfect ingredients for an Alternate Method of Victory Double Chance bet on Green by Submission or Camilo by Knockout at odds of -110. Green by Submission has a +800 price tag while Camilo by TKO/KO/DQ comes in at +140 odds.

All three times Green has been knocked out, it happened in the first round. Bryan Battle dispatched him in just 14 sekondes. A Camilo TKO/KO/DQ in Round 1 Fight Parlay nets +300 odds. This fight just has too many parameters that could make it go either way. My official recommendation on this one is avoid any bet on this bout. Let’s just find out risk-free if Green gives Camilo a UFC initiation to remember or Camilo storms into the organization with a stunning victory.

The opener of the main card is a Lightweight fight featuring Jared Gordon (20-7) die gesig staar teen Thiago Moises (19-8). This is setting up to be one of the closest fights on this card with Gordon stealing the favorite status with -125 odds and Moises barely an underdog with +105 odds to win.

This is honestly another fight to skip placing a bet on. The recent roadmap for both of these guys looks the same: lots of ups and downs and no way to tell definitively who has the best chance to win. Both fighters have a ton of UFC experience and anything could happen here. Watch it without a stake on the outcome and enjoy the fireworks.

UFC Fight Night 256 Apex Preliminary Card

Yadier Del Valle (8-0) versus Connor Matthews (7-3) is the featured prelim bout of the night at Featherweight. Will the third time be the charm for Matthews after dropping his first two official UFC fights? It all really depends on just how well the Cuban Del Valle does in his UFC debut.

Del Valle is a -520 favorite after winning his last two fights by decision and earning a UFC contract last October by way of Dana White’s Contender Series. You can cut those odds significantly if you bet on Del Valle to win by TKO/KO/DQ or Decision at -250 odds. Both of the back-to-back losses Matthews just suffered came by knockout. If you want more juice than that, Del Valle by decision gives you +130 odds. Since Del Valle hasn’t scored a knockout in a while, the moneyline bet or Del Valle by decision seem like the safest options here.

Uitteken oddsjam to find which sportsbook is offering the best odds for this fight.

Batamweights Luana Santos (8-2) en Tainara Lisboa (7-2) square off next in a phenomenal female fight that is a matchmaker’s masterpiece. Despite the wide odds available on this fight, this one could be very close. Both women have only lost to big name fighters. Lisboa (+142 moneyline) is riding a five-fight win streak while Santos (-170 moneyline) is trying to bounce back from a unanimous decision loss to the super tough Casey O’Neill.

The only major distinction between these two fierce females is the fact that Santos has been in the UFC a bit longer and finished two of her first three fights in the octagon inside the first round. Egter, four of Lisboa’s seven wins come by way of first round stoppage. If you can’t pick a side, the under 2.5 is looking promising in this bout at +200 odds. Anders, I would suggest Santos on the moneyline based on her superior opposition and her edge in UFC experience.

Elise Reed (8-4) neem op Denise Gomes (10-3) in the third fight of the night at Straw-weight. Reed will be entering the cage as a heavy underdog at +455 odds to win on the moneyline.

Gomes seems like a more secure bet to win this bout with her -625 moneyline odds. Get a little help on this one by betting on Gomes to win by TKO/KO/DQ or Decision at -400 odds to hit.

Flyweights Hyun Sung Park (9-0) en Carlos Hernandez (10-4) set the card’s tone for new to the UFC fighters going up against more seasoned UFC talent. Park has finished every professional opponent but the first one he faced in November of 2018.

Park would be the second “Road to UFC” contestant to best Hernandez if he wins this fight. Hernandez brings a couple more UFC fights in the experience column to this scrap, but Park is a professional finisher. Two of the last three Hernandez losses came by stoppage. Park also has only made it to the third round just once since his pro debut fight.

The two safest bets for this fight seem to be Park by TKO/KO/DQ or Submission at +215, or Park on the -192 moneyline if you think Hernandez can take him the distance. If you like Hernandez to win an upset, he’s never won by knockout. So that leaves Hernandez by Submission or Decision at +150 op Draft Kings.

The Straw-weight females are at it again in the event opener with American Tecia “The Tiny Tornado” Pennington (14-7) facing Brazilian Luana Pinheiro (11-4) in a fight where Pennington is a -340 favorite on the moneyline.

Pinheiro lost her last three fights to stall a nine-fight win streak. There’s a reason she’s a +270 buiteperd, but only two of those nine straight wins for Pinheiro made it out of the first round. She’s definitely capable of a knockout or submission upset here. Aan die ander kant, all seven of Pennington’s losses came by decision.

You may need to parlay the pick here to get better juice from your squeeze, but Pennington on the moneyline is the best option.

New Fight News Unlimited Sponsor ODDSJAM Helps Make Sports Betting More Profitable

1 kommentaar

Deur: Rich Bergeron

Fight News Unlimited is on a new quest to recruit sponsors, and we just landed a very important one to bolster our upcoming Weekly Combat Sports Wager Report column. That column will be debuting this coming Thursday, so stay tuned.

Oddsjam is a sophisticated software suite that helps users get the best odds and take advantage of profitable betting strategies. The software combs just about every sportsbook you can think of and can easily be tailored to search only the books in your particular area for the best betting opportunities.

I was recently introduced to the concepts of “arbitrage betting” en “middle betting.” Both of these strategies specifically target inconsistent odds and varying prop bet offerings on different sportsbooks and sportsbook-adjacent apps like Underdog Fantasy, Prize Picks and Betr.

Oddsjam can literally help you make sure you never lose money on sports betting again. Arbitrage betting and middle betting strategies can’t work without the ability to find and capitalize on the best information out there, wat Oddsjam provides. Doing a manual search for the info they provide instantly in real time would take forever.

Keep in mind, you need a bankroll of $2,000 or more to make the best of these two strategies for earning a guaranteed profit. You can also get limited or banned by sportsbooks that are able to detect what you’re doing to generate that profit.

Here’s a great tutorial that shows you exactly how Oddsjam works, how to avoid getting limited or banned for using it, and why it’s worth the monthly or yearly subscription fees:

Oddsjam is truly the best tool available for sports betting. You can also use their software to find which sportsbooks offer the best lines for different events. I have been a dedicated user for about a year now, and I love the ease of use and amazing features they offer.

I am by no means a professional gambler. I needed all the help I could get when I first signed up for Oddsjam. One way I limit my losses is by only betting $5 on each wager and trying to stick to sports I know well. Although most professional gamblers with huge bankrolls advise staying away from parlays, that’s how I capitalize on my $5 personal bet limit. Here are just a few of my biggest wins since I started using Oddsjam:

I do my own research in addition to utilizing software like Oddsjam, and one tip I can offer is to watch fights as much as possible to get to know the fighters you are putting your money on.

I also use Sherdog.com to comb through records of each fighter to see how long they’ve been fighting and where they’ve fought. Chances are if Fighter A has 17 fights in the UFC and is facing Fighter B who is making his UFC debut on a week’s notice, Fighter A is typically the best one to put your money behind.

Sportsbooks also often allow for betting on what I call “feeder leagues” like LFA, which is one of the UFC’s deepest recruiting pools. The favored fighters usually win on those cards, so finding an underdog winner to parlay into a profitable bet can be very challenging.

“Dana White’s Contender Series” can also provide winning opportunities if you are capable of a little deep research. The prospects who appear on these cards might have long winning streaks, but it’s important to find out who their opponents really were. Sometimes you might see an undefeated fighter on there against a journeyman and think the smart bet is the guy with no losses. Look deeper and you could find the undefeated guy fought his whole career against tomato cans with no wins of their own.

Inside information is also crucial. Sometimes that type of intel goes public, like a couple weeks ago when UFC fighter and commentator Michael Kerk hyped up Juliana Miller on the pre-fight show for UFC on ESPN 67. Her opponent Ivana Petrovic was a decent favorite, and Miller came into the fight with a record that did not look all that impressive.

Chiesa reported that Miller was looking like a beast in training at the same gym he calls home. Sure enough, Miller won handily as the underdog against a game and formidable opponent. It pays to keep your ears open for these kinds of tips.

Many times in the post-fight interview a winning male fighter will also cite the fact that he is a new father. I call it the Baby Daddy factor. If you know before the fight that a particular fighter is making a new commitment to the sport after the birth of a child, that kind of inspiration can be key.

A death of someone close to a fighter can also have a huge effect on the outcome of a fight. Consider one of the greatest upsets of all time: James “Buster” Douglas beating “Yster” Mike Tyson. Buster’s mother tragically died just 23 days before the fight. Douglas promised her before she died that he would beat Tyson. Soos ons almal weet, he kept that promise and shocked the world in the process. Imagine what it must have felt like to have a winning bet on that fight.

Former UFC Fighter and Coach James Krause literally made a living betting on UFC fights with insider information. Most of us among the average betting public don’t have access to that kind of knowledge, al. So, instead of banking on hunches, we should take advantage of every useful tool we can find to beat the books.

No matter what sport you like to bet on, Oddsjam is a tool you should have in your toolbox if you need a little help finding success. Take advantage of their free trial and give it a month to work to your ultimate benefit. Your bank account will thank you for it.

If you are interested in a formal sponsorship with Fight News Unlimited, email Rich Bergeron at rich.bergeron@gmail.com for more information.

RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA — Francis Ngannou is back and is the winner of the Battle of the Giants.

It was the world-class grappling of American Top Team’s Eblen that was the difference. The Kansas City-native scored numerous takedowns over the course of 25 minute, earning a unanimous 48-47 decision despite a fifth round onslaught from Edwards.

Zafar Mohsen entered PFL’s SmartCage for the first time on Saturday as a major underdog for his Featherweight contest against Dagestan’s Husein Kadimagomaev, but it was the German athlete who emerged the favorite, sweeping the scorecards in a one-sided 30-27 unanimous decision victory. Mohsen has now pushed his current winning streak to four bouts.

Opening the PPV card of PFL Battle of the Giants, a highly anticipated Lightweight fight between former Bellator Featherweight Champion AJ McKee and surging Irish prospect Paul Hughes ended up being exactly what fight fans were expecting – a high-level, back-and-forth fight between two athletes with title aspirations.

LFA BRINGS THE INTERIM WOMEN’S STRAWWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP TO BRAZIL AT LFA 197

Presented By: MONSTER ENERGY

CHAMPION NATASHA KUZIUTINA vs. CHALLENGER YASMIN GUIMARÃES

INTERIM WOMEN’S STRAWWEIGHT TITLE FIGHT

LIVE on UFC FIGHT PASS® by 7 namiddag. EN / 4 namiddag. PT


LAS VEGAS, Nevada — LFA CEO Ed Soares announced today that the promotion will return to Brazil in November with a Championship Headliner at LFA 197. In die belangrikste gebeurtenis, the interim women’s strawweight title will be on the line.

This will be the nineteenth LFA event to take place in Brazil after the promotion’s international expansion began in the summer of 2021. This will also be the twelfth LFA event to take place in the state of São Paulo, which is Brazil’s most populous state. LFA has also visited the Brazilian states of Rio de Janeiro and Pernambuco.

VVO 197: Kuziutina vs. Guimarães, aangebied deur Monster Energy, takes place Friday, November 22nd at the Ginásio do Polvilho in Cajamar, São Paulo, Brasilië. The main event will feature an interim women’s strawweight title fight when interim champion Natasha “Kuzya” Kuziutina defends her title against top contender Yasmin Guimarães. The entire main card will be available worldwide on UFC FIGHT PASS® by 7 namiddag. EN / 4 namiddag. PT.

“We are excited to bring another world-class title fight to Brazil,” Verklaarde Soares. “We have an incredible fan base in São Paulo and throughout Brazil, which is the birthplace of modern day MMA. The country will now host two of our biggest international stars in the main event of LFA 197.

Natasha Kuziutina is a three-time Olympian in Judo and the first woman from Russia to win an LFA title. She will defend her interim women’s strawweight title for a second time against Brazilian star and Muay Thai standout Yasmin Guimarães. The winner will get a chance to unify the title against current champion Rose Conceição early next year.”

Kuziutina (6-1) is the first woman from Russia to win an LFA title, en weer, she is looking to do something that has never been done. That will happen if she is able to defend her LFA interim women’s strawweight title for a second time as she and Jaqueline Amorim are currently tied with one title defense a piece. Kuziutina won the title by defeating five-time IBJJF champion Giovanna Canuto at LFA 173. She then defended her title for the first time in August by defeating longtime Bellator standout Bruna Ellen in the main event of LFA 189.

Prior to her MMA success, Kuziutina enjoyed an incredible Judo career and is now the most decorated judoka to ever compete in the strawweight division of MMA. She has represented Russia at the 2012, 2016, en 2020 (took place in 2021) Somer Olimpiese Spele. It was at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Brazil, where she earned an Olympic bronze medal. She now heads back to Brazil for her second title defense making her the first woman to headline LFA events on two continents.

Guimarães (8-1) is a decorated MMA and Muay Thai fighter that has built her world-class skill set by competing around the globe. The Brazilian dynamo built her name and reputation by competing successfully in both sports throughout Europe and the Middle East. In daardie tyd, she has competed twice for KSW, which is a leading MMA promotion in Europe.

She has also competed and trained in Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and her home country of Brazil. This includes challenging for the WBC Muay Thai super-bantamweight title. After competing around the world in multiple disciplines at flyweight and bantamweight, the proud Carioca returned home to Rio de Janeiro in May, where she made her debut in the strawweight division in the main event of LFA 183. Guimarães was triumphant that night by handing top prospect Naizi Cantanhede the first loss of her career. She now looks to capture LFA gold, while defending home turf, as Brazilians have never lost an LFA main event in Brazil.

Deur: Rich Bergeron

UFC 292 was die eerste UFC-geleentheid waarin ek bygewoon het 16 jaar. As die MMA-skrywer wat die meeste bekend is vir die onthulling van die Xyience-skandaal (sien www.xyiencesucks.com), Ek het my ou Xyience-hoed uitgegrawe om die geleentheid te herdenk. Eens die UFC se mees produktiewe borg, Xyience is nou hoofsaaklik 'n energiedrankmaatskappy en assosieer nie eers meer met enige MMA-liga nie. Nie te min, Ek was die enigste een in die hele arena wat Xyience-goedere gehad het.

Ek het hierdie keer vir my eie kaartjies betaal, maar ek kon nie vermy om te dink oor wat my UFC 292 ervaring sou gewees het soos as my UFC 78 ervaring, betaal deur Xyience, het amper vir my baie anders uitgedraai 16 jaar gelede.

Ek sal meer herkou oor die persoonlike verhaal van my eie Boston-tuiskoms en die veranderinge wat ons vir die UFC gesien het tussen die laaste geveg wat ek bygewoon het en hierdie een in 'n nuwe stuk waarop ek beplan om te skryf www.paythefighters.com. Bly ingeskakel daarvoor, maar kom ons kom eers by die UFC se goed saamgestelde vegkaart vir Saterdagaand.

Dit het begin met 'n verhaal van twee vlieggewig Silvas: Karine Silva en Natalia Silva. Daardie gevegte het geëindig met twee Silva-oorwinnings deur twee verskillende metodes, maar elke vegter was dominant in hul spesifieke style. Karine het Maryna Moroz met 'n laaste sekonde guillotine-verstikking gestuur net voor die einde van die eerste rondte. Dit was 'n fantastiese begin van 'n vertoning wat 'n paar pieke en valleie gehad het sover as die vermaaklikheidswaarde van sommige van die wedstryde. Natalia het haar tyd geneem en 'n wedstryd Andrea Lee van 'n afstand vir die grootste deel van die kompetisie gekies. Sy het tot 'n eenparige besluit gekom deur versigtig en versigtig te wees met haar treffende doel.

Volgende, 'n omstrede verdeelde besluit het die kansmakers se gunstelingvegter Andre Petrovski 'n oorwinning oor Gerald Meershaert gegee. Petrovski het blykbaar nie die kardio gehad om saam met die gesoute veteraan Meerschaert te hang nie. Al wat in hierdie geveg ontbreek het, was die gekonsentreerde slaankrag van Meershaert om Petrovski onder die knie te kry. Albei vegters het hul oomblikke gehad, maar dit het vir my duidelik gelyk dat Gerald die besiger en doeltreffender vegter was. Hy was slegs een van die roofslagoffers wat Saterdagaand deur die regters aangekla is nadat hy duidelik 'n hoofsaaklik tegniese geveg gewen het. Die aanrakinge van slugfest wat van tyd tot tyd besprinkel het, blyk altyd die meer wild en gretige Meerschaert te bevoordeel. Hy het beslis die oorwinning verdien. Ons sal 'n bietjie later oor nog 'n rooftog van gelyke kaliber praat.

'n Paar Ultimate Fighter Finale-gevegte het daarna gekom met Bantamgewigte Brad Katona en Cody Gibson wat dit afgeskop het deur "Fight of the Night"-eerbewyse te verdien. Hul tone-tot-toon skopbokswedstryd wat selde die grond vir baie lank getref het, het die skare beslis van begin tot einde laat opstaan. Katona was uiteindelik 'n sekonde vinniger met die gelykopuitslag en skerp genoeg met sy steekhoue en tellers om 'n oorwinning te verseker in 'n scrap waar hy dikwels een goeie hou moes vat om twee van sy eie te kry. Gibson het die resultate van Brad se akkuraatheid op sy gehawende gesig by die laaste klok gedra, maar hy het ook groot respek vir sy nooit-ophou benadering van beide die skare en die organisasie verdien. Die UFC het beide vegters kontrakte aangebied vir hul pogings in plaas daarvan dat net die wenner die kopknik gekry het.

Kurt Holobaugh moes teen vriend en mede-span Chandler-vegter Austin Hubbard veg in die Liggewig-eindstryd. Dit was 'n geveg wat vir Hubbard beter begin het as wat dit geëindig het. Uiteindelik na 'n kort uitvoelproses, Holobaugh het die momentum weggeneem en 'n fenomenale Triangle Choke net verseker 2:39 in die tweede raam. Albei vegters het hul oorheersende oomblikke gehad, maar dit was Holobaugh se swartgordel-jiu-jitsu-vaardighede wat die aand en die TUF-trofee gewen het.

Gregory Rodrigues het die Rus Dennis Tiuliulin absoluut gesloop in 'n middelgewiggeveg wat die Beantown-skare kortliks "VSA" laat sing het terwyl hulle na 'n Brasiliaanse vegter gesoek het.. "Robocop" het die skare-ondersteuning geniet en vinnig hul gejuig met sy afrondingsvaardighede in volle vertoon. Rodrigues lyk toevallig 'n bietjie soos die hoofkarakter in Netflix se "The Lincoln Lawyer,” as die karakter opgebou het na 'n paar rondtes steroïede. Rodrigues het beslis die wet neergelê en die Rus met 'n masjienagtige presisie tot bewusteloosheid gestamp. Hy het net een minuut geneem en 43 sekondes om die skare hul laaste stop tot die hoofbyeenkoms te gee.

Vyf reguit besluite het gevolg, twee van hulle het beslis deur die perfekte plasing van monsteragtige beenskoppe van die oorwinnaars. Die pynlikste van daardie twee wedstryde om na te kyk, was Chris Weidman wat die voorrondes afgesluit het deur Brad Tavares in 'n strafende middelgewigstryd teen te staan.. Weidman, kom terug van 'n kwaai rubber hoenderpootbesering waar hy op 'n heeltemal gebreekte been teen Uriah Hall probeer plant het, roes gelyk soos verroes kan wees. Elke takedown wat hy probeer het, het skynbaar maklik deur Tavares opgestop.

Elke ponswisseling was te min, te laat vir Weidman om terug te kom van die konstante beenskoppe wat beide die been met die ou besering en Weidman se ander been peper.. Selfs met 'n geskeurde MCL of ACL (volgens Dana White wat Weidman gedwing het om ná die geveg uit te tree), Weidman het Tavares om die hok bekruip en sy bes probeer om die geveg na hom te neem ten spyte van die gebreekte wiel. Tavares het 'n baie strategiese en slim geveg gewen, het die hele pro-Weidman-skare teleurgestel in die hoop op daardie wonderwerk-terugvertoning wat nooit gekom het nie.

Marlon "Chito" Vera en Pedro Munhoz het die hoofkaart oopgemaak met 'n eensydige verhouding wat Vera se geduld ten toon stel, treffende insig, en byna foutlose tegniek. Munhoz het die geveg op sy voete afgesluit, maar hy het baie gesigskade verduur om daar te kom. Chito het vir die grootste deel van die geveg op 'n veilige afstand gebly en het min risiko's geneem op pad na sy eenparige besluitoorwinning. Die reikwydte en spoed van Vera blyk die doeltreffendste voordele te wees wat hy geniet het teen die korter en bonkiger Munhoz. Vera, hoe vervelig hy ook al is om te kyk soms, het bewys hy verdien sy eie bantamgewigtitelskoot.

Die derde agtereenvolgende besluit het Mario Bautista 'n baie omstrede eenparige besluit oorwinning oor Da'Mon Blackshear gegee. Bautista het Blackshear uitgehaal wat grondbeheer betref, maar Blackshear was meer akkuraat in sy slaan en het meer beduidende treffers in die veergewig-afval gekry. Ek het beslis gedink hy het genoeg gedoen om te wen, maar die beoordelaars het die geveg nie op dieselfde manier gesien nie en het die wedstryd aan Bautista gegee.

Ian Garry en Neil Magny het volgende kragte gemeet in 'n weltergewigkompetisie wat nie ooreenstem nie. Magny het 'n geweldige hart getoon deur weer op te staan ​​na elke afslaan, maar hy kon nie die onophoudelike beenskoppe oorkom wat Garry gegooi het nie. Keith Peterson, skeidsregter, het 'n paar keer naby daaraan gekom om die geveg te stop, maar Magny het net genoeg aanhou doen om dit aan die gang te hou, soms op een been rondspring. Garry se aanval was net so op die punt soos sy trash talk-speletjie, die gees van Nate Diaz op te roep met 'n paar goed getimede handgebare. Die skare het sy voortgesette oorheersing gevier met Garry wat hulle vertel het van sy begeerte om eendag die beste vegter op die aarde te wees in sy na-geveg toespraak. Magny sal ’n antwoord op sy onlangse stryd moet vind as hy relevant in die UFC wil bly.

Weili Zhang en Amanda Lemos het volgende in 'n epiese titelgeveg afgereken. Lemos het byna 'n paar wonderbaarlike voorleggingspogings verseker, maar die strooigewig-titelgeveg het ontaard in 'n vraag of Lemos tot die finale klok kon oorleef of nie. Zhang het haar talente in al haar gebiede van kundigheid ten toon gestel, en Lemos kon net hoop om te wen deur middel van 'n paar Hail Mary-indieningspogings wat Zhang uit gewikkel het. Zhang se spoed, krag en duursaamheid het Lemos oorweldig en haar deur baie van die latere rondtes gesukkel om 'n stilstand te vermy. Op een of ander manier het sy dit reggekry, op haar pad geweldige skade aanrig. Zhang het weggestap en haar titel behou, tot groot vreugde van aanhangers wat haar deur die hele geveg gesteun het.

Uiteindelik, die hoofgebeurtenis het aangebreek, goed na middernag. Sean O’Malley het eerste die arena betree, en die skare het uitgebars. Baie van hulle het groen of pienk pruike gedra om O'Malley se kenmerkende voorkoms na te boots. O'Malley het eerlikwaar redelik versteen gelyk, asof hy die nag voor die geleentheid glad nie eers geslaap het nie. Aljamain Sterling het die hok binnegegaan na 'n koor van geboe wat hy probeer lig het deur die skare aan te spoor om hom meer te boe..

Die eerste rondte was meestal 'n vertoonvenster van voetwerk van albei vegters. O’Malley se kopspeletjies het dalk op Sterling gewerk, omdat hy in voorgeveg-onderhoude belowe het hy sal 'n eerste rondte TKO van sy eie verseker. Eerder as om op sy grootste krag staat te maak, sy worsteling, Sterling wou O’Malley in sy eie wedstryd klop. Dit blyk die verkeerde strategie te wees, 'n feit wat Sterling uiteindelik besef het toe hy aan die verkeerde kant van daardie TKO beland het. Daar was min pogings om O'Malley af te neem, en almal van hulle was heeltemal opgestop. Sterling het gevou en op die doek geval nadat hy vroeg in die tweede rondte met 'n O'Malley-teenhou geslaan is. Die res was geskiedenis aangesien O'Malley "die Suga-vertoning" afgesluit het met 'n bietjie McGregor-agtige grond en pond.

Albei vegters het puik na-geveg toesprake gelewer, getrou aan vorm. Sterling was genadig in nederlaag en het sy respek getoon vir O'Malley wat daarna streef om sy droom te bereik. Oorweging van Sterling het O'Malley voor die stryd gekritiseer omdat hy Dana White se troeteldierprojek was en nie 'n titelkoot verdien nie, dit was 'n groot mea culpa. Ook, as dit inderdaad alles daaroor gegaan het om deur mnr. White, O'Malley het dalk die Kaalvader afgemerk deur aan te dui dat hy meer teen die bokser Gervonta Davis wil veg as enige ander werklike UFC-vegter.

As slegs die tweede Dana White Contender Series-vegter om 'n wêreldtitel te verdien, O'Malley kan beslis in 'n mate sy eie houe noem, maar 'n boksoorgang is 'n baie sensitiewe onderwerp in die nasleep van Francis Ngannou wat onlangs opslae gemaak het omdat hy sy UFC-kontrak teruggetrek het en vir 'n swaargewig-bokswedstryd met Tyson Fury ingeteken het wat sy loopbaan-UFC-verdienste met 'n myl sal verduister. Slegs Conor McGregor kon tot dusver UFC-kopers oortuig om alles in te gaan in 'n oorkruisgeveg in boks. Dana White het sedertdien tentatiewe planne om "Zuffa Boxing" te skep heeltemal afgeskaf om sy vegters te verantwoord wat McGregor se profiel wil navolg, finansiële rekord en dapper bravade wat hom daardie geleentheid besorg het om Floyd Mayweather in 'n uitstallingswedstryd te veg.

Dikwels, om Dana White se aandag en respek te kry, vegters moet eenvoudig hulself genoeg verkoop om dit te vertaal in massiewe goedere en kaartjieverkope wat uit hul buzz gegenereer word. Baie soos die WWE, groot personas en kleurvolle karakters wen dikwels geleenthede in die UFC bo atlete wat net op hul fisiese vaardighede konsentreer. Veral stakers word bevoordeel, omdat hulle voldoen aan die UFC se geïmpliseerde "sit on a show" standaard van uitnemendheid wat opgelê word aan elke vegter wat in die hok stap. Dit is 'n styl van bestuur en wortel-en-stok-leierskap wat vegters flous om te dink dit is beter vir hul loopbane om voortdurend na vore te kom met min besorgdheid oor verdediging en geweldige risiko's te neem om baie meer opwindend en vermaaklik te wees as wat hulle nodig het om 'n spesifieke geveg te wen.

Nou erken hierdie kind O'Malley dat hy soos Dana self wil wees, gemaklik genoeg finansieel om te wed $250,000 per pokerhand. Die mees spesiale talent voor O'Malley het sy eie opkomende ster persona gebruik om sy eie naam handelsmerke te bou en sy eie whisky maatskappy te koop. Hy het 'n seiljag en 'n Lamborghini, en hy is steeds die mees besproke en geroepe vegter in die organisasie, selfs nadat hy so 'n eensydige stryd met Dustin Poirier verloor het en 'n paar jaar met 'n gebreekte been langs die kantlyn gestaan ​​het.. Die feit dat O'Malley kan besef en internaliseer dat hy waarskynlik nooit op Conor se vlak sal kom sonder 'n groot oorkruisgeveg in boks nie, spreek boekdele oor waar die UFC vandag is.

Dit is die soort ontwikkeling waaroor ek moet lag om te weet hoe moeilik dit was om al die vegterbetalings- en kontrakkwessies voor die hof te bring sonder 'n leër van prokureurs om die UFC se formidabele regspan die hoof te bied.. Een so 'n regsweermag het onlangs die trekpas verseker om 'n klasaksie-antitrust-geding namens meer as 1,200 voormalige UFC-vegters. Dit lyk of die regter in die saak reeds by die eisers skaar. Reaksie op UFC-klasaksiesertifisering: Wat het gebeur, en wat is volgende? (msn.com)

Wanneer die organisasie gekonfronteer word met statistieke wat toon dat die inkomste-aandeel vir vegters min is in vergelyking met ander groot sportsoorte met spelersverenigings, die reaksie is tipies iets tot die effek van: “Ons het soveel miljoenêrs gemaak. Dit gaan goed met ons vegters, en hulle kry almal baie finansiële geleenthede met die roem wat ons hulle gehelp het om te bereik.”

As 'n kenner van die UFC se finansiële geskiedenis en 'n gehoorlid by UFC 292, Ek kon nie vermy om die realiteit te konfronteer dat soveel "UFC Nut-hugger" joernaliste al die byvoordele van persvoorregte kry omdat hulle so goed saamspeel met daardie "Zuffa Myth" mentaliteit. Die mense wat die UFC op die kaart plaas, verlei hul ondersteuners subliminaal met toegang en beloftes van roem en geleenthede, en vegters en medialede word in daardie soort bestuursteaters ingesuig. Op sy beurt, jy eindig nie met veel nie ondersoekende beriggewing in MMA-mediakringe, en vegters wat baie vrae vra en beter kontrakvoorwaardes eis, word nie herteken of opgestel met prima-geveg-wedstryde nie.

Dit het die uitslag van die hoofgebeurtenis geneem om die kwessie vir my werklik duidelik te maak oor hoe die UFC voortdurend die fokus hou op hul veronderstelde vermoë om supersterre te skep net deur 'n vegter enige kontrak met die organisasie te laat teken.. Sommige wat saamstem dat dit die geval is, sal sê dit was die organisasie se vermoë om genoeg talent in O'Malley te sien om hom op Dana White se Contender Series te plaas wat gelei het tot die skouspelagtige opkoms van die nuwe kampioen se ry.. Sekerlik, O'Malley sou nie eers Saterdagaand in Boston gewees het as hy nooit by die organisasie ingekom het nie. Egter, daar was baie DWCS-vegters wat nie meer UFC-geleenthede gekry het nie omdat hulle daardie intreevlak-geveg verloor het. O’Malley moes wen en aanhou wen om te wees waar hy Saterdagaand was.

Die punt is: Sean O'Malley se kultusaanhang en geweldige selfvertroue is die resultaat van sy eie persoonlike kruistog om iemand spesiaal te wees met onbeperkte potensiaal en wonderlike talent. Hy sou nooit eers in die gesprek wees vir 'n titel as hy nie al die ongekende ure in die gimnasium ingesit het om beter te wees nie. Die UFC het nie Sean O'Malley geskep nie, hulle het hom net 'n platform gegee om te wys watter soort vegter hy kan wees. En terwyl hy die supersterdom geniet waarvoor die UFC hulself eer, O'Malley moet weet die enigste manier waarop hy sy verdienpotensiaal kan maksimeer, is om die organisasie self te verduister. Hy moet bo en buite hul beperkende finansiële grense gaan na 'n sport waar die inkomsteaandeel soveel beter is en 'n ou soos Francis Ngannou meer in een geveg kan maak as wat hy in sy hele UFC-loopbaan gemaak het..

So, As Dana White regtig Sean O'Malley sy troeteldierprojek gemaak het soos Aljamain Sterling voorgestel het, hy het goeie werk gedoen. Ongelukkig, die monster wat hy geskep het, kan op die lange duur terugkom om hom te byt. Nog 'n bokskaart wat saam deur UFC bevorder word, sal te veel van hul werknemers probeer om dieselfde roete te volg en te wonder hoekom Dana se klein maatjie al die pouses en voordele kry. Veterane en nuwelinge sal waarskynlik albei kyk na enige hoë Davis vs. O'Malley-bokswedstryd as 'n erkenning deur hul leierskap dat die UFC nie hul vegters genoeg kan betaal om hulle in die hok te hou nie.

“Kind, jy het geen idee hoeveel geld jy gaan maak nie,” het Dana White ná die oorwinning aan O’Malley gesê volgens 'n onlangse O'Malley-onderhoud. verbeel ek my in sy kop, Dana het daardie gedagte klaargemaak met “ons.”
