Rich Bergeron opens this week’s FNU Combat Sports show by giving his unique take on the Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson feud with the UFC brass, namely Dana White. Upon refusing to take a fight with T.J. Dillashaw without getting certain assurances and conditions met, many fans on social media insisted DJ was running scared. Even Dillashaw took the opportunity to blast the move by the flyweight champ as “chickenshit.” Dana White even reportedly threatened to shut down the entire flyweight division if Johnson refused to fight TJ. “Mighty Mouse” didn’t blink and didn’t cave to the organization’s demands, and Rich explains in his opening dialogue why DJ should be respected and given the benefit of the doubt for his decision rather than being criticized and dragged through the mud for standing up for himself.

 

During the rest of the broadcast, Tony “Il Tornado” Penecale details his night out at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia for a fight card headlined by Hank Lundy. He also recaps Fonfara vs. Stevenson II and calls the fight “a disgrace.”

 

“Psichico” Tom Padgett chips in with some post-fight analysis of Aldo vs. Holloway. He also predicts Mark Hunt will benefit from home cage advantage in his battle with Derrick Lewis this weekend at UFC Fight Night 110 in Nuova Zelanda.

Our show this week was dedicated to Lou Duva (above right with our co-host Tony Penecale). Lou died earlier this week at the ripe old age of 1994. He was a great friend to Rocky Marciano, a promoter of 19 campioni del mondo, and a man who had all his irons in the one fire that lit his life: boxe. The promoter/trainer/manager/legend appeared on the FNU Combat Sports show years back, but unfortunately the audio is grainy and spotty. If you listen closely the gems our talk contains outweigh the difficult spots to hear.

FORMER CAGE WARRIORS COMMENTATOR JOHN GOODEN SHARES HIS IRISH FIGHT NIGHT MEMORIES AHEAD OF CAGE WARRIORS’ RETURN TO DUBLIN

Lascia un commento
PER IL RILASCIO IMMEDIATO
Martedì, February 28th, 2017

As we look forward to our long-awaited return to Dublin this weekend, the former voice of Cage Warriors remembers the raucous atmosphere of the Irish fight fans and recalls the moment he took a knee from a man who would go on to become the biggest star in the sport – Conor McGregor.

Before he started calling fights for the UFC, British play-by-play man John Gooden was the voice of Cage Warriors.

And nobody knows the passion of the Irish fight fans quite like John who, during the now-famous rise to prominence of Conor McGregor, ended up right in the thick of it with the legendary Irish fight fans during both of ‘The Notorious’ one’s Cage Warriors championship victories.

We chatted to Gooden at CW80 in London where he shared his memories of his Irish fight night experiences ahead of our return to Dublin this weekend for Cage Warriors 81.

“I think my first taste was the Helix when Conor won his first world title,” he began.

“I got injured – Conor kneed me in the face! But I stayed here to live to tell the tale!

“He jumped the fence. His fans were going absolutely bonkers, and I think if he didn’t go out, they were coming in. So strategically he did the right thing, although he sort of ran through me to get to them!

“But Josh (Palmer, Cage Warriors co-commentator) and I were covered in beer and it was just this melee of craziness. So that was really cool, because I can say I took a knee from Conor McGregor – which he apologised for, anche!

“The Helix was an interesting venue. It was on different levels and the last time I was there the Irish were having mixed results. Then Conor came out and, as he does, rouses everyone and came away with the victory in the fashion that he did. That just put the capstone on the night and just made it celebratory.”

After that fight both McGregor and Gooden were UFC bound, where they would reunite in Dublin at the 3Arena for UFC Fight Night: McGregor v Brandao, an event that has gone down in folklore as one of the most raucous in UFC history.

“I’ve been over to Dublin twice (with the UFC) but the first time in 2014 – McGregor-Brandao – it’s gonna be difficult to top that,” Gooden smiled.

“The fans were SO good. The Irish fighters went 100%. They won, they won, they won and the crowd loved it. They got behind every single one and it was just a big celebration.

“Going back there, it was a sensory overload and I’m gonna take that to the grave with me.”

That event has been held up as the standard by which all fight night atmospheres are now judged, but there have been plenty of examples of the Irish fans’ passion since then, whether it’s at home for a host of different events, or on the road supporting their heroes overseas.

And on Saturday night the Irish fight fans have the opportunity to cheer on their boys on home soil once again at Cage Warriors 81. With a host of Irish fighting talent set for action, including Karl Moore bidding to capture the vacant Cage Warriors light-heavyweight title against American Josh Clark, we’re expecting another party atmosphere at the 3Arena.

I biglietti sono disponibili tramite Ticketmaster.ie, priced €98, €38 and €24, with ticket holders also able to attend a special meet and greet session with our special guest fighters Neil Seery, Nicolas Dalby and the newly crowned Cage Warriors Welterweight Champion Karl Amoussou.

The bout will be televised live on eirSPORT 1 in Ireland, BT Sport in UK and Ireland, and streamed worldwide on UFC lotta Passo.

Mayweather vs. L'hype di MacGregor raggiunge nuove vette

Lascia un commento

 

Da: Rich Bergeron

Può un artista marziale misto professionista battere un pugile professionista è il tipo di domanda che ha dato inizio all'UFC, ma ora la popolarissima lega di lotta sembra cercare di evitare del tutto quella domanda quando si tratta di un potenziale incontro di boxe tra Conor McGregor e Floyd Mayweather.

Sebbene recenti rapporti indicassero che era in corso un accordo con solo una terza parte che non riusciva a concordare i termini (molto probabilmente l'UFC), sembra che i vertici dell'UFC sappiano che questa potrebbe essere una situazione di perdita/perdita per la promozione. Per uno, È quasi sicuro che Conor perderà la battaglia. In secondo luogo, la borsa che comanderà dovrebbe essere estremamente pesante, il che significa che richiederà lo stesso tipo di denaro per ogni combattimento successivo a questo. Questo è il motivo per cui il presidente dell'UFC Dana White ha fissato un tetto massimo $25 milioni per McGregor per combattere Mayweather.

 

L'UFC potrebbe finire per pagare a caro prezzo il fatto di aver permesso che questo incontro accadesse. Potrebbe rendere McGregor troppo popolare e spostare gli equilibri di potere dai capi dell'UFC al loro dipendente di punta. Conor sarà quello che deciderà da qui in poi se questo incontro di boxe avrà luogo, soprattutto se finisce per essere a $100 milioni di giorni di paga per “Mac mistico.”

Considera solo questo segmento su UNDISPUTED, con Shannon Sharp e Skip Bayless:

 

L'inevitabile perdita per McGregor sarebbe davvero una grande vittoria per l'arrogante, combattente arrogante e schietto che sembra credere davvero di poter ottenere una vittoria miracolosa. Anche se è eliminato, battuto da un’ampia decisione unanime, o squalificato per aver partecipato a scioperi illegali, Conor sta per guadagnare abbastanza soldi per ritirarsi potenzialmente dalle MMA per sempre. È anche quello, oppure potrebbe semplicemente continuare nell'MMA con la clausola che nessuna borsa di combattimento nel suo futuro sarà inferiore a quella che guadagna per l'incontro di Mayweather. Se Conor mostra anche la minima abilità sul ring, potrebbe anche diventare la versione sportiva da combattimento di Bo Jackson e mantenere una carriera come atleta di due sport in futuro. Tutto ciò è semplicemente negativo per l’UFC nel suo insieme, poiché nella migliore delle ipotesi dovranno condividere uno dei loro migliori talenti e dovranno pagargli compensi esorbitanti per farlo continuare a combattere nel loro Ottagono.

Sarebbe molto più intelligente per i fan di Conor giocare ad alcuni giochi da casinò Casinò MarathonBet di quanto farebbe per chiunque di loro scommettere soldi sul proprio eroe per vincere questa battaglia. Qualunque siano le probabilità che questo incontro alla fine generi a Las Vegas, McGregor sarà sicuramente un grande sfavorito che tenterà i suoi fan a scommettere sulla minima possibilità di una vincita enorme. Semplicemente non è una buona idea considerando la mancanza di esperienza di Conor come pugile e l'invincibilità di Mayweather negli ultimi anni della sua carriera da pugile..

Ciò che è chiarissimo è che Mayweather vuole solo una battaglia per lasciare il conforto della pensione, e McGregor è l'unico uomo che lo affronterà in quella lotta. Il fatto che questa dovrebbe essere una passeggiata nel parco non sfugge a Floyd. Non c’è alcun aspetto negativo nel sconfiggere McGregor. Floyd non vedeva l'ora di dimostrare che i combattenti di MMA nel loro insieme non hanno la potenza di pugni o l'abilità di un pugile del suo calibro. Senza dubbio avrà la sua occasione, ma non chiedere all'UFC di pagare cifre record astronomiche per facilitare un combattimento di questa portata se ciò significa alzare la barra dei pagamenti dei combattimenti a un livello da cui non potranno mai riprendersi se vogliono mantenere la loro superstar definitiva sui libri..

 

McGregor può parlare quanto vuole, e gli esperti di sport lo mangeranno come caramelle. Le persone avranno una folle convinzione di poter portare a termine questa routine di camminata sull'acqua, oppure vorranno pagare per vedere il suo ego schiacciato dalla sconfitta. In entrambi i casi, questo incontro potrebbe raccogliere enormi ricompense per entrambi i combattenti. La gente pagherà per vederlo, anche se si rivela una delusione completa e totale.
