UFC 209: وودلي مقابل. Wonderboy و Khabib vs. معاينة وتوقع فيرغسون

بواسطة: الأغنياء بيرجيرون

UFC 209 يقترب بسرعة من خلال معركتين ديناميكيتين تتصدران البطاقة, بما في ذلك مباراة العودة المرتقبة للغاية إغلاق العرض. Fans are itching for a solid fight card to watch after multiple disappointing Pay-Per-View events left them wanting more in recent months. This is a card that could definitely deliver the action-packed, adrenaline-filled spectacle fans have come to expect for the price of admission. Here are my previews and predictions for the two blockbuster fights at the top of the bill.

ستيفن طومسون (13-1-1) gets another crack at the welterweight title against Tyron Woodley (16-3-1) في الحدث الرئيسي. Even the odds makers (Check out the M88 sportsbook for more betting info) have a tough time predicting how this highly charged rematch will go. Woodley comes in as the slight underdog at +110 to Thompson’s -140.

لا يزال, the Champion came close to finishing the first fight in the fourth round. Rather than continue with his powerful ground and pound approach against the in-trouble Thompson, Woodley switched to a failed choke attempt instead. Thompson was able to weather the storm and eke out the draw, but he also won three out of the five rounds on the scorecard. The experts who set the betting lines are obviously conscious of this and factoring it into their calculations.

Can Woodley put himself in position to get the knockout win this time or will Thompson make the right adjustments to win every round this time?

تنبؤ: Stephen Thompson made one glaring mistake in the first fight that led to Woodley having a huge chance to win by knockout. Woodley picked his spots and made the fight competitive, but with both fighters knowing so much about each other now he may not be able to repeat or improve upon his performance in the first fight. في غضون, Thompson is a skilled tactician, and he will focus on cage control this time around. He will use distance striking, superb defense, and constant movement to keep Woodley from doing any major damage this time around. Woodley of course has a chance to quiet all his doubters with one punch, but Thompson is the type of fighter who may not give the champ a chance to land that shot.

THOMPSON WINS BY UNANIMOUS DECISION

The co-main event will set the stage for Conor MacGregor’s return to the UFC cage. The Irish superstar will eventually face the winner of UFC 209’s co-main event: Khabib Nurmagomedov (24-0) مقابل. توني فيرغسون (22-3). This fight could potentially upstage the main event, despite the fact that Khabib is a -205 favorite to Ferguson’s +165 odds to win. Both fighters have enough momentum going for them to earn a title shot without fighting each other, but that doesn’t make this bout any less exciting on paper. Ferguson is 12-1 in the UFC with his only loss coming against Khabib’s last opponent: مايكل جونسون. Ferguson lost to Johnson in 2012 by unanimous decision while Khabib submitted Johnson via Kimura in the third round of their UFC 205 clash last November.

Both fighters have equally imposing strengths. Khabib smothers many of his opponents with crisp wrestling skills to match his more than capable striking and submission ability. Sambo and judo are also staples of Nurmagomedov’s intense approach to cage fighting. He is so well rounded that he has an equal number (8) of submission, decision and T/KO wins, and all of his decision wins are unanimous.

Ferguson is on a nine-fight win streak. He is more of a volume striker, and he used excellent boxing to impose his will on the opponents he’s dominated so far. He is also well rounded like Nurmagomedov and can use that superb striking to secure submissions on stunned opponents. هو يملك 8 submissions to go with 9 T/KOs and five decisions.

PREDICTION: Ferguson may be on a tremendous run right now, but Khabib’s absolutely dominated every opponent he ever faced in his MMA career. McGregor may actually be rooting for a tie in this fight so he can have some extra time to negotiate a boxing match with Floyd Mayweather, الابن. while these two contenders are setting up an inevitable rematch. لكن, ties are rare enough in the UFC that one here is far fetched to imagine. It’s much more likely that this fight ends up with one fighter on the canvas, out cold or too dazed to continue. All signs point to that fighter being Ferguson, leaving MacGregor with the prospect of having to prove his mettle by beating a man nobody’s been able to beat before. بالطبع, anything can happen in that cage and anyone can have a bad night at the office, but perfection is hard to argue with.

NURMAGOMEDOV BY 2nd Round TKO

FNU Combat Sports Show Featuring Ivan “الوحش” Baranchyk

جون “الوحش” Baranchyk (15-0, 10 كوس) joins the broadcast tonight to talk about his recent war on ShoBox with Abel Ramos (17-2-2, 12 كوس). Baranchyk launched an incredible effort in the later rounds to hand Ramos his second professional loss and establish himself as a spirited, tough-as-nails brawler. Some experts claimed the fight was one of the most entertaining bouts in the 17-year history of the ShoBox series. توم, Tony and Rich discuss the fight, other highlights of Ivan’s career, and get Baranchyk to explain how his early start in Jiu Jitsu eventually led him to the Sweet Science. The 24-year-old is already solidifying his legend, which explains why he points to “حديد” Mike Tyson as one of his role models in the sport of boxing.

 

توم, Tony and Rich also discuss the latest Mayweather/MacGregor news, an odd suspension of an MMA fighter for going after his opponent’s corner man, the calling off of Chris Brown vs. Soulja Boy, and Roy Jones Jr. re-establishing his goal of fighting Anderson Silva in a boxing match (he now wants it to be on the Mayweather/MacGregor undercard).

 

We also recap last week’s combat sports events and preview Bellator 173 and this week’s upcoming boxing matches.

مايويذر مقابل. MacGregor Hype Reaching New Heights

 

بواسطة: الأغنياء بيرجيرون

Can a pro mixed martial artist beat a pro boxer is the kind of question that started the UFC in the first place, but now the wildly popular fight league seems to be trying to avoid that question entirely when it comes to a potential boxing match between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather.

Though recent reports indicated a deal was in the works with only a third party failing to agree on terms (most likely the UFC), it seems that the UFC brass knows this could be a lose/lose situation for the promotion. For one, Conor is almost guaranteed to lose the fight. Secondly, the purse he will command should be extremely hefty, which will mean he will demand the same kind of money for every fight after this one. This is why UFC President Dana White put his ceiling at $25 million for McGregor to fight Mayweather.

 

The UFC could end up paying dearly for letting this fight happen. It could make McGregor much too popular and shift the balance of power from the UFC bosses to their star employee. Conor will be the one calling the shots from here on out if this boxing match happens, especially if it ends up being a $100 million payday forMystic Mac.

Just consider this segment on UNDISPUTED, starring Shannon Sharp and Skip Bayless:

 

The inevitable loss for McGregor would really be a huge win for the cocky, arrogant and outspoken fighter who seems like he actually believes he can pull off a miracle win. Even if he’s knocked out, beaten by a wide unanimous decision, or disqualified for engaging in illegal strikes, Conor stands to make enough money to potentially retire from MMA for good. It’s either that, or he could just continue in MMA with the stipulation that no fight purse in his future be any less than what he makes for the Mayweather bout. If Conor even shows the slightest bit of skill in the boxing ring, he could also end up being the combat sports version of Bo Jackson and maintain a career as a two sport athlete in the future. All of this is simply bad for the UFC as a whole, as they will at best have to share one of their top talents and will have to pay him outrageous fees to keep him fighting in their Octagon.

It would be much much smarter for Conor fans to play some casino games at คาสิโน MarathonBet than it would for any of them to put down money on their hero to win this fight. Whatever odds this fight does finally generate in Vegas, McGregor is sure to be a huge underdog that will tempt his fans to make the bet on the slim chance of a huge payout. It just isn’t a good idea considering the lack of experience Conor has as a boxer and the invincibility of Mayweather in the final years of his boxing career.

What is crystal clear is that Mayweather wants only one fight to leave the comfort of retirement, and McGregor is the only man who will face him in that fight. The fact that this should be a walk in the park is not lost on Floyd. There’s no downside to trouncing McGregor. Floyd has been itching to prove MMA fighters as a whole don’t have the punching power or prowess that a boxer of his caliber has. He will no doubt get his chance, but don’t ask the UFC to pay astronomical record numbers to facilitate a fight of this magnitude if it means raising the fight pay bar to a level they can never recover from if they want to keep their ultimate superstar on the books.

 

McGregor can talk all he wants, and sports pundits will eat it up like candy. People will either have some insane belief that he can pull off this walk on water routine, or they will want to pay to see his ego crushed in defeat. في كلتا الحالتين, this bout could reap huge rewards for both fighters. People WILL pay to see it, even if it does prove to be a complete and utter disappointment.

Conor McGregor Fastest Climber On 120 الرياضة, MVPindex Most Valued Athletes On Social Media Of 2016

McGregor topped only by three NFL Players and Rory McIlroy, and ahead of LeBron James; Ronda Rousey in at Number 18; NFL Dominates with Nine Athletes in Top 25

يناير 11, 2017 (شيكاغو) – The Seattle Seahawks Russell Wilson (لا. 1), New York Giants Odell Beckham Jr. (لا. 2) and the Houston Texans JJ Watt (لا. 3) were officially named the Top 3 Most Valued Athletes in Social Media of 2016 in a ranking created in partnership between MVPindex™ and 120 الرياضة. UFC star كونور مكجريجور jumped an impressive 33 spots from last year’s index to claim the No. 5 spot in 2016, just behind golfer Rory McIlroy and ahead of Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James.

The ranking includes U.S. professional and Olympic athletes.

To determine the most valued athletes on social media this year, Chicago-based digital sports network 120 Sports collaborated with industry-leading social measurement and valuation platform MVPindex to rank athletes using a proprietary algorithm that evaluates all of their social activity throughout the past year. The ranking combines three separate scores: يصل (المشجعين, متابعون, impressions), Engagement (الإعجابات, comments, تشارك, retweets, favorites) and Conversation (positive/negative mentions).

في 9 عصرا. و هذه الليلة, 120 Sports will reveal the full list and take a deeper look at the Top Valued Athletes in Social Media on its nightly sports show, The Rally, a two-hour, first-of-its-kind interactive prime-time highlights show exclusively on Twitter. 120 Sports uses up-to-the-moment insight from consumer trends to shape the way it produces its daily live and on-demand programming, providing real-time data on what is resonating most with sports fans.

The National Football League dominated the 2016 ranking with 9 players in the Top 25. The NBA followed with five of the Top 25 الرياضيين. Wilson claimed the top spot for the second straight year with an overall ranking of 0.983, remaining at the center of the social spotlight this year not only for his athletic performance, but also for his recent marriage to singer Ciara.

ال 120 Sports talent team will provide insights and analysis on the Top 25 قائمة, as well as break down the top viral trends, videos and photos on social media from this past year, ranking their top 3 in a variety of categories that resonated with sports fans this year like “Best Athlete & Team Mannequin Challenge,” “Cutest Athlete’s Kid Dance,” and “Best Workout Session Video.”

“We produce and deliver sports content based on whatever is the hottest story as indicated by what is trending on social media and what sports fans are talking about on social platforms,” said Jason Coyle, president of 120 الرياضة. “MVPindex helps us to quantify the commanding voices and influencers on social media from the past year so we can continue to relate with our fans by showcasing the athletes that matter most to them.”

بالإضافة, Cam Newton (لا. 16), Stephen Curry (لا. 11) and Antonio Brown (لا. 12) all made notable double-digit climbs up from 2015.
There are five women represented on the list in 2016; Alex Morgan (لا. 15), Serena Williams (لا. 16), روندا روزي (لا. 18), Hope Solo (لا. 22) and Kerri Walsh Jennings (لا. 25). The Seahawks, Patriots and Cavaliers all have two players each; the youngest person on the list is Beckham Jr. في 24, and the oldest is Tiger Woods at 41.

Top athletes in each sport include:

Robinson Cano (MLB)
كونور مكجريجور (UFC)
Russell Wilson (NFL)
Rory McIlroy (PGA TOUR)
LeBron James (الدوري الاميركي للمحترفين)
Alex Morgan (US Soccer)
Serena Williams (WTA)
Jeff Gordon (NASCAR)
Kerri Walsh Jennings (AVP)

ال 2016 list reveals interesting findings including a spotlight on the growth in popularity of MMA/UFC in the past year, as both McGregor (No.5) and Ronda Rousey (لا. 18) are featured in the Top 25.

“For years, the yard stick in determining social media value was based solely on the number of followers someone had. But at MVP we know that quantity does not mean quality,” said MVPindex co-founder Kyle Nelson. “With our sophisticated Engagement Value Assessment™ tool, we look at social media impressions, engagement, virality and social authority to help figure out what it’s all really worth.”

Nelson continued: “This year’s list rewarded those athletes who were able to leverage their success on the field of play to also win on social. They were able to consistently drive high levels of engagement through compelling content and authentic conversations with consumers. This not only helps build their own personal brands but also makes them the most effective ambassadors for the brands they represent.”
The Top 10 of the list is as follows:

Russell Wilson (NFL)
Odell Beckham Jr. (NFL)
J.J. Watt (NFL)
Rory McIlroy (PGA TOUR)
كونور مكجريجور (UFC)
LeBron James (الدوري الاميركي للمحترفين)
Tiger Woods (PGA TOUR)

توم برادي (NFL)

كسر UFC 207 بطاقة الرئيسية: معاينة والتنبؤات

 

بواسطة: الأغنياء بيرجيرون

UFC 207 علامات عودة طال انتظارها من “مشاكس” روندا روزي (12-1) إلى المثمن أنها تهيمن مرة واحدة بطل وزن الديك للسيدات. العنوان مأخوذ من روزى بطريقة دراماتيكية من قبل هولي هولم الآن حول الخصر قادرة على أماندا نونيز (13-4). وروزى تكون هناك فرصة لمزق تشغيله ووضعه مرة أخرى حولها الوركين الخاصة في 30 ديسمبر.

لقد روزى للخروج من القفص لأكثر من سنة, وأكدت بالفعل مؤخرا أن حياتها المهنية في الفنون القتالية المختلطة وصلت الى نهايتها. نونيز هو الشباب, الجياع وترهيب كما المستضعف (+150) أبحث على التمسك حزامها ضد الأسطوري لاعب الجودو وMMA الطاغوت. روزى يأتي في مثل في المفضلة -185.

لمزيد من المعلومات، يرجى زيارة الصعاب والرهان 12رهان.

هناك أسئلة أكثر من الأجوبة الخوض في هذا الحدث اقبال. إرادة روزى التخلص من الصدأ حلقة والعودة إلى مجد? هل هي بالفعل خطوة واحدة نحو التقاعد? يمكن نونيز تهدئة المتشككين لها والاستمرار في تدهور إرث بطل وزن الديك أول UFC المرأة? مهما حدث, سوف الجولة الأولى ستكون حاسمة. سيتم كل من المرأة تتطلع لجعلها ليلة سريعة.

تنبؤ: روزى يعود مع الانتقام ويعرض تحسنت كثيرا وضرب ركلة الدفاع. معارك نونيز بجد ويمثل أفضل البرازيل لهذا العرض, لكن روندا لديها الكثير لانقاص. وقالت إنها قد لا يكون لها سجل مثالي لحماية بعد الآن, لكنها لا تملك سببا مثاليا لكسب هذه المعركة. وهي في حاجة أيضا إلى إقامة لها ألفا وضع لاغلاق لها النقاد الخاصة صعودا وإثبات أنها عادت لاستعادة لقبها. روزى يفوز بالضربة القاضية في بداية الجولة الثانية.

لقب آخر الديك UFC على المحك في حال شارك الرئيسي. دومينيك كروز (22-1) يعطي كودي غاربراندت (10-0) صدع في الحزام في ما يمكن أن يكون عراك حقيقي. على الرغم من كودي خسر أبدا معركة وخرج تسعة من خصومه مهنة عشرة على المستوى المهني, دومينيك كروز (-225) هو المتداول على طول 13-معركة الفوز متتالية والتي يعود تاريخها إلى مارس من 2008. Garbrandt (+175) لا تمثل المثل “فرصة الناخس ل” هنا, رغم أن. انه فاز في اخر ثلاث نوبات من بالضربة القاضية أو بالضربة القاضية. كل منهم انتهى وشكر لإضاءة قوة اللكم السريع كودي.

تنبؤ: وبالنظر إلى أن كروز هو تكتيكي, مقاتل دفاعي, وقال انه سوف تزدهر كما يحصل المعركة إلى جولات أعمق. لا يمكن Garbrandt الفوز دون الأول بالضربة القاضية الجولة حيث الخبرة والموهبة الخام كروز يعيد إلى القفص هي فريدة من نوعها وحيوية. وقال انه يجعل التعديلات مثل أي مقاتل آخر، ويستخدم الجسم والرأس الحركة التي يبدو أن نخلط كل معارض انه واجه في السنوات الأخيرة. سيكون لديك للقبض على كودي “المسيطر” للتواصل معه, وقال انه سوف يكون واحدا مجرد جولة للقيام بذلك. كروز يفوز في أواخر TKO مستديرة أو قرار بالإجماع.

اشتباك بين الوزن الثقيل فابريسيو ويردوم (21-6-1) وقابيل فيلاسكيز (14-2) هي واردة أيضا في UFC 207. المعركة هي صورة مكررة من UFC 188 الحرب بين عمالقة اثنين, التي انتهت Werdum الفوز في بطولة نوبة من تقديم الدور الثالث (خنق المقصلة).

هذه المرة, فيلاسكيز هو المقاتل المفضل (-210) في حين Werdum هو +170 خاسر. هذا هو شجاعة آخر مباراة. التكتيك متابعة المباراة, ويمكن أن تذهب في اي من الاتجاهين. أظهرت Werdum الذقن الضعيف ضد ستيب ميوسيتش, وقابيل سوف تبحث عن كل فرصة للتحقق من ذلك.

تنبؤ: فيلاسكيز ارسلت ما Werdum داخل جولتين. ضرب قايين متفوقة على Werdum, وانه لن نقع في خطأ ترك Werdum تأخذ المعركة على الأرض هذه المرة. فيلاسكويز التي كتبها KO.

نيل ماغني (18-5) وهندريكس جوني (17-5) يدخل القفص لUFC 207 كما اثنين من أفضل وزن الويلتر في الدوري. كل من تعاني من بعض الارتفاعات والانخفاضات في مجال الرياضة في الآونة الأخيرة, رغم أن. كان مانيي ثلاثة المعركة فوز خط توقف لورينز اركن في آخر نوبة في حين خسر هندريكس ثلاثة من أصل له آخر اربع مباريات. هندريكس هي بعيدة كل البعد عن أناه السابق وشوطا طويلا من أيام بطولة له. مسحت ستيفن طومسون حصيرة مع هندريكس في طريقها إلى TKO وحشية قبل صعدت كيلفين غاستيلوم في قفص على الجانب الآخر من بطل سابق وأحاطت المنزل قرارا بالإجماع بعد ثلاث جولات بشق الأنفس.

تنبؤ: ماني هو مقاتل أكثر دواما وديناميكية, وهندريكس لا يمكن الحصول على ما يكفي قريبة من أرضه أفضل اللقطات السلطة. سوف ماني وقف هندريكس’ التقدم, نفي محاولات انهاء الخدمة له وتقديم أو إيقاف البطل السابق قبل الجرس النهائي. ماني من بالضربة القاضية من الدور الثالث.

يؤدي إيقاف تشغيل البطاقة الرئيسية هي آخر معركة تنطوي على بطل العالم السابق. T.J. Dillashaw (13-3) معارك مياوم جون “يد ستون” لينيكر (29-7) في معركة الديك بد أن تكون كلاسيكية المستقبل. لينيكر يجلب كثافة, قوة ودقة التي هي ببساطة مذهلة إلى الشاهد. التحركات Dillashaw حول القفص وكأنه stepdancer الأيرلندية, الهجمات التهرب مثل مصارع الثيران المكسيكي. أظهر لينيكر في آخر نوبة مع جون دودسون أنه يمكن أن يكون ماكر, مقاتل التقنيين كذلك.

تنبؤ: ما T.J. يفتقر إلى القوة لينيكر: قوة. ولينيكر تعلم أن يجد مجموعة له في الجولة الثانية والبدء في اختراق دفاع غير تقليدية Dillashaw ل. في منتصف الطريق من خلال الجولة الثالثة وقال انه قبض T.J. النسخ الاحتياطي ووضع حد للقتال على قدميه بسلسلة من اللكمات وحشية, ركلات, الركبتين والمرفقين ضد القفص. لينيكر من بالضربة القاضية من الدور الثالث.

Veazey to Conor McGregor: I’ll fight you now

بالتيمور, MD (ديسمبر 6, 2016) – There was much talk throughout the boxing world last week when UFC superstar Conor McGregor received a boxing license from the California State Athletic Commission.

مكجريجور, widely considered the best mixed martial artist in the world, has been clamoring for a superfight with Floyd Mayweather. The bout would be a traditional boxing match. Talk surrounding Mayweather-McGregor received heavy criticism and it’s highly unlikely an athletic commission would sanction a five division world champion with a 49-0 record against an opponent making his debut.

عادة, debuting boxers face opponents that only have a few professional bouts.

Enter Joey “Bazooka Joe” Veazey.

Living and fighting out of Maryland, the 18-year-old had a successful amateur career and turned pro with a four round decision victory in October. A big ticket seller in his home state, Veazey is an honor student focused on being a star in and out of the ring. While many other young professional boxers would wait for a high profile fight, Veazey is ready to show McGregor he should stick to his own sport.

“The whole boxing world already knows Conor McGregor doesn’t belong in the same ring as Mayweather. I just had my pro debut and he recently got licensed so on paper, that’s an approvable fight by the athletic commission. If he does face me however, I’d prove to the world that he’s not a boxer and end the hype he’s started. He thinks he can just walk into this sport and face the best? That’s not how it works. If you really want to get in the boxing ring, I’d gladly expose you right now because boxing is no joke!"

Veazey’s next fight is scheduled for يناير 13 in Maryland and his promoter Jake Smith of Baltimore Boxing has already discussed licensing McGregor with Maryland State Athletic Commission executives.
