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:

Baltimore, MD (ဒီဇင်ဘာလ 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.
McGregor, 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.
ပုံမှန်အားဖြင့်, 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 forဇန္နဝါရီလ 13in Maryland and his promoter Jake Smith of Baltimore Boxing has already discussed licensing McGregor with Maryland State Athletic Commission executives.
တွမ်, Rich and Tony break down the week’s combat sports news, recap last week’s fight cards and look forward to the huge events happening this weekend. UFC 205 features three world title fights while Bellator makes a historic debut in Israel on Friday. Danny Garcia will also take on Samuel Vargas to headline one of Premier Boxing Championships’ final blockbuster cards of 2016. We start off the broadcast with some political discourse about the election of Donald Trump as the 45th United States President.
FU Dana White…ဘာပဲဖြစ်ဖြစ်ဘယ်နေရာမှာပဲဖြစ်ဖြစ်၊ သင့်ရဲ့အမြင့်ဆုံးလေးစားမှုရဖို့ဘယ်တော့မှမဖြစ်နိုင်တဲ့ Miesha Tate နဲ့ Nate Diaz လိုစစ်မှန်သောတိုက်လေယာဉ်များကိုအသိအမှတ်မပြုခြင်းအတွက်….
