FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA.

In a cruiserweight clash that went the full five rounds, Lombard controlled the majority of the fight, but Mundell used his jab and was able to land a few notable right hands to keep the fight interesting.

“I was aggressive and I scored the points,” said Lombard in victory. “He was backing up the whole time, but my hat off to him. I never thought it was going to be that tough, but he put up a good fight.

“I wanted to be in bare knuckle because I wanted the experience, and now I have it,” continued Lombard. “I’m pretty sure I have to change my game plan and some little things, but it was an amazing experience.”

A frustrated Mundell said, “I kept the distance really well. I played the better boxing game. I understand this is bare knuckle and everybody wants to see us slug it out, and he gave more pressure. I give him props for that, but let’s run it back and see what happens.”

The BKFC 10 co-main event featured Jim Alers ngowakho Kaleb Harris by majority decision (50-44, 48-46, 47-47) in an all-action 155-pound contest. Alers swarmed Harris from the opening bell, knocking Harris down :30 into the first stanza. Alers then got off to another fast start in round two, using his jab to set up devastating right hands.

In round ezintathu, Harris settled in and proved himself a game opponent. Nokho, Alers got right back to his ferocious ways in round four, punishing Harris early and landing numerous clean shots. Alers continued to use his superior striking in the fifth round to close out the decision win.

“Our game plan was to just stay in his face,” said Alers. “He had long range and good power. I wanted to stay close, use my clinch, not get hit by those hooks. He’s a tough (guy) noma. I hit him with some hard shots and he just kept on coming.

“My Jiu Jitsu helps and comes in handy,” continued Alers. “I’m able to push him around, control his weight, and it definitely plays a part in this game. In MMA, I always wanted to take people down and submit them. Now that I get the chance to just knock people out, I’m hungry for blood. I’m hungry for those knockouts. Next one, I promise you guys a knockout!”

On the pay-per-view undercard, Luis Palomino wabusa Elvin Brito in a 155-pound bout that went the distance. Palomino was able to avoid getting hit and cruised to a wide unanimous decision (49-46, 50-45, 50-45) Ukunqoba.

Ulysses Diaz got a quick stoppage victory over Brian Maxwell in a 195-pound contest. Midway through the first round, Diaz landed multiple punches in the clinch as Maxwell grabbed his forehead and fell to the canvas in pain. Maxwell appeared unable to continue and the referee halted the contest 1:13 into round one.

Dat Nguyen squared off against Abdiel Velazquez in an extremely spirited 135-pound fight. It was a furious pace from the opening bell, Nguyen landing first and dropping Velazquez. Velazquez continued to force the fast action and he caught Nguyen, dropping Nguyen to the mat for the first time in his professional combat sports career. As the fighters settled into the later stages of the first round, Nguyen landed a huge left that knocked Velazquez out cold. The referee immediately waved off the fight 1:51 into round one.

Gustavo Trujillo wanqoba Lorenzo Hunt by technical knockout in the first round of their 205-pound scrap. As Hunt lunged forward to throw a punch, Trujillo landed a powerful, short right hand of his own, send Hunt crashing to the canvas face-first. Hunt made it back to his feet, but the referee had seen enough, calling a stop to the action just 1:01 into the first frame.

Francesco Ricchi wayeka Fred Pierce in the first round of their 175-pound contest. An extremely reckless Pierce got caught and dropped early by Ricchi. Pierce elected to get up and fight on, but continued his wild ways, got stunned again and then stopped on his feet at the 1:38 mark of round one.

In the opening pay-per-view bout, Travis Thompson secured a second-round stoppage victory over Joshua Boudreaux in their 135-pound fight. Thompson focused on the body and dropped Boudreaux twice, once in the first round and again in the second round, on his way to a technical knockout at the :15 uphawu umzuliswano wesibili.

Ngokuvamile lapho mina bazibuza lowo mbuzo, kungcono in the ngemva nombono pay-per-futhi ngiyakujabulela ezibuza ngekuphimisela yini olandelayo zabashokobezi ngubani ligcwaliswe kuso. Lesi sikhathi emhlabeni, Ngikhuluma ngento esithinta Abaculi Zonke exubile amasosha e-Championship Ultimate Fighting.

The UFC umemezele lokhu sonto ukuthi kuyoba nokuqalisa eqinile kude, kude olunzulu more izidakamizwa ukuhlolwa ngemva fighters like Anderson Silva futhi Hector Lombard ukuhlolwa ukwehluleka for izidakamizwa ezinikeza (PEDs), ngenkathi Jon Jones futhi Nick Diaz ukuhlolwa kuhlulekile cocaine nensangu, ngokulandelana.

Izidakamizwa Ukwenyuka ukuhlolwa kanye nezinhlawulo sibi kungasiza UFC kuphela, futhi karate bebonke okuxubile. Kodwa yini ngempela eyabangela ngale ukwanda ekuhlolweni wehluleka? PEDs bebelokhu ingxenye yezemidlalo eside ngaphambi MMA fighters waqala ukuthatha kwabo, futhi baye inkinga MMA ngaphambi zokugcina ezingu-futhi-a-nesigamu.

Kodwa kubonakala fighters more ukuba ukubanjwa. Njengoba kwezemidlalo iningi, kukhona owawudinga ingcindezi ukwenza MMA futhi the UFC. Uma bangenzi, wena ngokuyisisekelo abakhokhelwa. Isidingo kwandisa UFC izinhlelo esenziwa deal yayo kanye FOX Kungase isici. Baya ekubeni on Spike TV – lapho kuphela ukusakaza "The Ultimate Fighter" kanye ngonyaka futhi bukhoma impi amakhadi amabili noma amathathu ngonyaka – cishe kokuba ezimbili bukhoma impi amakhadi ngenyanga futhi angabiki "The Ultimate Fighter" kabili ngonyaka eziteshini FOX.

Ukwenyuka izinhlelo kusho isidingo izidumbu ukugcwalisa leso izinhlelo. Kusho ukuthi fighters more baqeqesha for balwa, okungaholela ukulimala more. PEDs, ngaphezu akunika yona inzuzo yokuncintisana phezu isitha sakho, zikuvumela ukuba alulame ngenxa yokulimala ngokushesha. With the isidingo fighters more ukugcwalisa mpi amakhadi more, Ngicabanga ukuthi kungenzeka ukwenyuka kwezinga lalezi ukuhlolwa kwezidakamizwa emzimbeni yehlulekile okungenani kube ngokwengxenye ashiwo ukuthi.

Ukwanda kokusetshenziswa-testing izinyathelo The UFC sithathe nomphumela July 1. Yini esingayilindela uma enza? Nazi ezinye iziqondiso the UFC wethule.

Ngisho UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta wavuma ngesikhathi press conference kuleli sonto ukuthi izinto "zaziyoba zimbi nakakhulu ngaphambi kokuba kangcono 'ukuhlolwa entsha. Okuningi, it kusazobonakala kangakanani yalesi impela anamathele once July 1 ugicita emhlabeni. UFC ngaphambilini kubhekwe uyanda imizamo yayo izidakamizwa-testing phambi kodwa wadonsa emuva, izindleko bephawula kanye ngaphambilini botched umzamo ukwenza kanjalo.

Nokho, kanye ukuqubuka ephezulu profile izinkanyezi like Silva, Jones and Diaz ukuhlolwa ukwehluleka, izindleko angeke kubhekwe isithiyo kanye UFC kumele baqaphe. Ukupheqa Twitter feed yami kulandela sabezindaba, kwaba eerily ethule. Cishe akukho fighters kuhlaziywe in waqale. Kungenzeka kwaba ukuthi nje eceleni of the sabezindaba ezenzeka a ngoLwesithathu ntambama, lapho iningi labantu abasebenza noma mhlawumbe ube ezinye izinto ukwenza ngaphandle post on Twitter. Kodwa kwaba namanje kwamambala pretty. Kubonakala okunjengalokhu kwangenza nganaka kakhudlwana fighters ', njengoba kufanele.

Yini Ngicabanga ngeke kwenzeke? Kuzoba ukwanda test wahluleka kanye izinyathelo emisha yokuthwebula izithombe ithatha nomphumela July 1, Ngikhathazekile kwetfulwe beqiniseka. Kodwa uma ucabangela ukuthi UFC usekela izinhlawulo elibuhlungu kulabo abenza fail – kuhlanganise ukuvinjelwa iminyaka ezine – Ngilindela fighters elingcolile ekugcineni umjikelezo ngokwabo out and the ones Are ukuncintisana ahlanzekile (okuyinto iningi labo, mhlawumbe) ukuthatha indima lidlondlobala.

Izidakamizwa Ukwanda ukuhlolwa kade in the UFC. Umdlalo ubuciko exubile karate ngokwako isencane isakhasa, ikakhulukazi uma kuqhathaniswa neminye imidlalo like football, basketball and baseball.
