This week on the Fight News Unlimited Combat Sports Show we discuss Tito Ortiz winning his way into retirement over arch rival Chael Sonnen, and we also preview upcoming MMA and boxing events. Tom, Tony and Rich provide in depth analysis and commentary after a week off from the show. 2017 is off to a slow start in the combat sports world, but this weekend gets things started in a huge way with dueling HBO and Showtime boxing cards and both Bellator and UFC events slated for the coming days. Join us as we discuss all things combat sports.
Tom, Tony and Rich spend this week’s show catching up on the week’s major news in combat sports. We also preview upcoming fights in boxing and MMA. We highlight Mark Hunt’s recent lawsuit over a fight where Brock Lesnar tested positive for PEDs and discuss Ben Rothwell’s assessment of Travis Browne as a “Man Whore.” Listen to the hour long broadcast below.
Tom, Tony ja Rich purustavad aasta suurimad aastalõpulised võitlused 2016 ja ootan, mis peaks olema fenomenaalne 2017. Arutame Ronda Rousey üle, Floyd Mayweather, Andre Ward ja teised võitlejad uudistes. Võtame kokku UFC 207 ja oodake mõningaid reedeõhtuseid võitlusi 13. jaanuaril.
Rikas, Tom and Tony cover the past week’s news and events and look forward to the few fight cards happening over the next few weeks. We spend a good amount of time discussing the final fight of Bernard Hopkins, the drug testing debacle with Alexander Povetkin, and the UFC fight night co-main events where highly hyped prospects Paige VanZant and Sage Northcutt bombed hard. Check out the show below. This one closes out the year for us, so fans can tune in next year for our next broadcast on January 5, 2017.
Rikas, 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.
Sel nädalal arutame FNU võitlusspordi näitusel fantastilist novembrikuu lahingute osas. Meil oli eelmisel kuul ainult kaks etendust, nii et alustasime sel nädalal järelejõudmisrežiimis. Arutame Ward vs.. Kovaljov pikalt, minna mõne puutuja peale ja jõuda siis Tony ülevaateni “Vere selle eest.” Seejärel läheme tagasi MMA juurde, et saada Richi kommentaar Miesha Tate'ile, öeldes Dana White'ile, “FU, sa pole mu ülemus..” pärast tema taotlust minna ta haiglasse pärast kaklust Raquel Penningtoniga. Tate läks pärast tähekarjääri varem pensionile. Rich jõuab ka võitlejate ametiühingu rindele ja mõned uued arengud Georges St. Pierre, Endine Bellatori tegevjuht Bjorn Rebney, Cain Velasquez, T.J.. Dillashaw ja teised UFC tähelepanuväärsed isikud murdsid nišis uut teed segavõitluskunstide sportlaste ühingu asutamine. Samuti õnnestub meil eeloleva nädalavahetuse poksi ajakava eelvaadata enne täna õhtul ülekande lõppu.
Tom, Tony and Rich get back to action this week to discuss upcoming fight cards, including two big MMA events: UFC Fight Night Dos Anjos vs. Ferguson and Bellator 163: McGeary vs. Davis. We preview both events and talk about the matchups. We then move to the boxing schedule where there are multiple belts on the line this week all over the globe. We spend a bit of time discussing the big Manny Pacquiao bout against Jessie Vargas. Is Manny fighting for the right reasons? Does he have enough left in the tank? We’ll know the answer Saturday night. Rich also breaks down his suspicions about vocal UFC fighters trending toward starting some type of powerful fighters union. Could the astronomical selling price of the UFC actually be the main handicap for the new owners? Did putting such a high premium on the UFC unintentionally give griping fighters more incentive to sue the company? Only time will tell.
Tom, Tony and Rich discuss the last two weeks of combat sports news and events. We also preview a busy weekend for boxing. This is the Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll edition as we have stories to discuss in all three categories. We chat about Tyson Fury doing cocaine, Josh Samman’s possible drug overdose death, Donald Trump and Mike Tyson talking about rumors that Trump had an affair with Robin Givens, and some high profile rockers and other celebrities buying into the UFC (Flea, Adam Levine, Anthony Keidis). We also recap UFC 204, headlined by an epic five round battle between Dan Henderson and Michael Bisping. Bisping won the fight, but Henderson did plenty of damage and went into retirement with an effort for the ages. Listen to us break it all down:
Tom, Tony and Rich discuss this week’s most significant fight cards, and major combat sports news. We also recap last weekend’s major combat sports events. We cover Roy Nelson’s kicking of Big John McCarthy, Heavyweight Boxing Champion Tyson Fury telling drug testers to “F” ära, Premier Boxing Champions and their dwindling fight cards, and the recent torrent of UFC fighters willing to voice their displeasure with the organization and the pay scale. Could it be that the Fertitta exodus has fighters less intimidated by the shadow of the family’s former mafia ties? Rich has a little soap box moment on this subject.
