New Fight News Unlimited Sponsor ODDSJAM Helps Make Sports Betting More Profitable

Deur: Rich Bergeron

Fight News Unlimited is on a new quest to recruit sponsors, and we just landed a very important one to bolster our upcoming Weekly Combat Sports Wager Report column. That column will be debuting this coming Thursday, so stay tuned.

Kans is a sophisticated software suite that helps users get the best odds and take advantage of profitable betting strategies. The software combs just about every sportsbook you can think of and can easily be tailored to search only the books in your particular area for the best betting opportunities.

I was recently introduced to the concepts ofarbitrage betting” en “middle betting.Both of these strategies specifically target inconsistent odds and varying prop bet offerings on different sportsbooks and sportsbook-adjacent apps like Underdog Fantasy, Prize Picks and Betr.

Kans can literally help you make sure you never lose money on sports betting again. Arbitrage betting and middle betting strategies can’t work without the ability to find and capitalize on the best information out there, wat Kans provides. Doing a manual search for the info they provide instantly in real time would take forever.

Keep in mind, you need a bankroll of $2,000 or more to make the best of these two strategies for earning a guaranteed profit. You can also get limited or banned by sportsbooks that are able to detect what you’re doing to generate that profit.

Here’s a great tutorial that shows you exactly how Kans works, how to avoid getting limited or banned for using it, and why it’s worth the monthly or yearly subscription fees:

Kans is truly the best tool available for sports betting. You can also use their software to find which sportsbooks offer the best lines for different events. I have been a dedicated user for about a year now, and I love the ease of use and amazing features they offer.

I am by no means a professional gambler. I needed all the help I could get when I first signed up for Kans. One way I limit my losses is by only betting $5 on each wager and trying to stick to sports I know well. Although most professional gamblers with huge bankrolls advise staying away from parlays, that’s how I capitalize on my $5 personal bet limit. Here are just a few of my biggest wins since I started using Oddsjam:

I do my own research in addition to utilizing software like Kans, and one tip I can offer is to watch fights as much as possible to get to know the fighters you are putting your money on.

I also use Sherdog.com to comb through records of each fighter to see how long they’ve been fighting and where they’ve fought. Chances are if Fighter A has 17 fights in the UFC and is facing Fighter B who is making his UFC debut on a week’s notice, Fighter A is typically the best one to put your money behind.

Sportsbooks also often allow for betting on what I callfeeder leagueslike LFA, which is one of the UFC’s deepest recruiting pools. The favored fighters usually win on those cards, so finding an underdog winner to parlay into a profitable bet can be very challenging.

Dana White’s Contender Seriescan also provide winning opportunities if you are capable of a little deep research. The prospects who appear on these cards might have long winning streaks, but it’s important to find out who their opponents really were. Sometimes you might see an undefeated fighter on there against a journeyman and think the smart bet is the guy with no losses. Look deeper and you could find the undefeated guy fought his whole career against tomato cans with no wins of their own.

Inside information is also crucial. Sometimes that type of intel goes public, like a couple weeks ago when UFC fighter and commentator Michael Kerk hyped up Juliana Miller on the pre-fight show for UFC on ESPN 67. Her opponent Ivana Petrovic was a decent favorite, and Miller came into the fight with a record that did not look all that impressive.

Chiesa reported that Miller was looking like a beast in training at the same gym he calls home. Sure enough, Miller won handily as the underdog against a game and formidable opponent. It pays to keep your ears open for these kinds of tips.

Many times in the post-fight interview a winning male fighter will also cite the fact that he is a new father. I call it the Baby Daddy factor. If you know before the fight that a particular fighter is making a new commitment to the sport after the birth of a child, that kind of inspiration can be key.

A death of someone close to a fighter can also have a huge effect on the outcome of a fight. Consider one of the greatest upsets of all time: James “BusterDouglas beating “Yster” Mike Tyson. Buster’s mother tragically died just 23 days before the fight. Douglas promised her before she died that he would beat Tyson. Soos ons almal weet, he kept that promise and shocked the world in the process. Imagine what it must have felt like to have a winning bet on that fight.

Former UFC Fighter and Coach James Krause literally made a living betting on UFC fights with insider information. Most of us among the average betting public don’t have access to that kind of knowledge, al. So, instead of banking on hunches, we should take advantage of every useful tool we can find to beat the books.

No matter what sport you like to bet on, Kans is a tool you should have in your toolbox if you need a little help finding success. Take advantage of their free trial and give it a month to work to your ultimate benefit. Your bank account will thank you for it.

COMPLETE PFL BATTLE OF THE GIANTS FIGHT NIGHT RESULTS

 

Full access to PFL’s Battle of the Giants assetshier 
RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA Francis Ngannou is back and is the winner of the Battle of the Giants.

The Mayadeen in Riyadh, Saoedi -Arabië, hosted the return of “The Predator,” who viciously stopped his opponent Renan Ferreira by knockout in a little over three minutes to win the newly minted PFL Super Fights Heavyweight Championship Belt and reclaim his position atop the mountain in mixed martial arts. Met die oorwinning, Ngannou immediately puts the combat sports world on notice that he remains a force to be reckoned with anytime he laces up the four-ounce PFL MMA gloves.

The co-main event of the evening saw the greatest women’s MMA fighter of all-time, Cris “Cyborg," add to her already impressive resume with a unanimous decision victory over PFL two-division Champion Larissa Pacheco. By winning the PFL Super Fights Women’s Featherweight World Championship, “Cyborg” has now added her fifth different promotional belt to her trophy case. The loss snaps a ten-fight winning streak for Pacheco, while “Cyborg” has pushed her winning streak to eight bouts.

The Bellator Middleweight Championship was on the line in a rematch between undefeated champion Johnny Ebts en Engeland se Fabian Edwards. It was the world-class grappling of American Top Team’s Eblen that was the difference. The Kansas City-native scored numerous takedowns over the course of 25 minute, earning a unanimous 48-47 decision despite a fifth round onslaught from Edwards.

Zafar Mohsen entered PFL’s SmartCage for the first time on Saturday as a major underdog for his Featherweight contest against Dagestan’s Husein Kadimagomaev, but it was the German athlete who emerged the favorite, sweeping the scorecards in a one-sided 30-27 unanimous decision victory. Mohsen has now pushed his current winning streak to four bouts.

Opening the PPV card of PFL Battle of the Giants, a highly anticipated Lightweight fight between former Bellator Featherweight Champion Ook McKee and surging Irish prospect Paul Hughes ended up being exactly what fight fans were expecting – a high-level, back-and-forth fight between two athletes with title aspirations. Albei vegters het hul oomblikke gehad, maar in die einde, two judges’ saw Belfast’s Hughes as the winner, moving him to 2-0 in PFL and putting “Big News” one step closer to a world title shot.

LFA BRINGS THE INTERIM WOMEN’S STRAWWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP TO BRAZIL AT LFA 197



Vrydag, NOVEMBER 22LFA 197: KUZIUTINA vs. GUIMARÃES

Presented By: MONSTER ENERGY

Hoofren:
CHAMPION NATASHA KUZIUTINA vs. CHALLENGER YASMIN GUIMARÃES

INTERIM WOMEN’S STRAWWEIGHT TITLE FIGHT

LIVE on UFC FIGHT PASS® by 7 namiddag. EN / 4 namiddag. PT


LAS VEGAS, Nevada — LFA CEO Ed Soares announced today that the promotion will return to Brazil in November with a Championship Headliner at LFA 197. In die belangrikste gebeurtenis, the interim women’s strawweight title will be on the line.

This will be the nineteenth LFA event to take place in Brazil after the promotion’s international expansion began in the summer of 2021. This will also be the twelfth LFA event to take place in the state of São Paulo, which is Brazil’s most populous state. LFA has also visited the Brazilian states of Rio de Janeiro and Pernambuco.

VVO 197: Kuziutina vs. Guimarães, aangebied deur Monster Energy, takes place Friday, November 22nd at the Ginásio do Polvilho in Cajamar, São Paulo, Brasilië. The main event will feature an interim women’s strawweight title fight when interim champion NatashaKuzyaKuziutina defends her title against top contender Yasmin Guimarães. The entire main card will be available worldwide on UFC FIGHT PASS® by 7 namiddag. EN / 4 namiddag. PT.

We are excited to bring another world-class title fight to Brazil,” Verklaarde Soares. “We have an incredible fan base in São Paulo and throughout Brazil, which is the birthplace of modern day MMA. The country will now host two of our biggest international stars in the main event of LFA 197.

Natasha Kuziutina is a three-time Olympian in Judo and the first woman from Russia to win an LFA title. She will defend her interim women’s strawweight title for a second time against Brazilian star and Muay Thai standout Yasmin Guimarães. The winner will get a chance to unify the title against current champion Rose Conceição early next year.

Kuziutina (6-1) is the first woman from Russia to win an LFA title, en weer, she is looking to do something that has never been done. That will happen if she is able to defend her LFA interim women’s strawweight title for a second time as she and Jaqueline Amorim are currently tied with one title defense a piece. Kuziutina won the title by defeating five-time IBJJF champion Giovanna Canuto at LFA 173. She then defended her title for the first time in August by defeating longtime Bellator standout Bruna Ellen in the main event of LFA 189.

Prior to her MMA success, Kuziutina enjoyed an incredible Judo career and is now the most decorated judoka to ever compete in the strawweight division of MMA. She has represented Russia at the 2012, 2016, en 2020 (took place in 2021) Somer Olimpiese Spele. It was at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Brazil, where she earned an Olympic bronze medal. She now heads back to Brazil for her second title defense making her the first woman to headline LFA events on two continents.

Guimarães (8-1) is a decorated MMA and Muay Thai fighter that has built her world-class skill set by competing around the globe. The Brazilian dynamo built her name and reputation by competing successfully in both sports throughout Europe and the Middle East. In daardie tyd, she has competed twice for KSW, which is a leading MMA promotion in Europe.

She has also competed and trained in Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and her home country of Brazil. This includes challenging for the WBC Muay Thai super-bantamweight title. After competing around the world in multiple disciplines at flyweight and bantamweight, the proud Carioca returned home to Rio de Janeiro in May, where she made her debut in the strawweight division in the main event of LFA 183. Guimarães was triumphant that night by handing top prospect Naizi Cantanhede the first loss of her career. She now looks to capture LFA gold, while defending home turf, as Brazilians have never lost an LFA main event in Brazil.

Tuisveldvoordeel: Aanhanger Gunsteling Sean O'Malley Bulldozes Sterling by UFC 292, Chris Weidman se terugkeer vonk praat van aftrede, Catona vs. Gibson verdien Fight of the Night…en nog baie meer van die UFC se terugkeer na Boston verlede Saterdag

Deur: Rich Bergeron

UFC 292 was die eerste UFC-geleentheid waarin ek bygewoon het 16 jaar. As die MMA-skrywer wat die meeste bekend is vir die onthulling van die Xyience-skandaal (sien www.xyiencesucks.com), Ek het my ou Xyience-hoed uitgegrawe om die geleentheid te herdenk. Eens die UFC se mees produktiewe borg, Xyience is nou hoofsaaklik 'n energiedrankmaatskappy en assosieer nie eers meer met enige MMA-liga nie. Nie te min, Ek was die enigste een in die hele arena wat Xyience-goedere gehad het.

Ek het hierdie keer vir my eie kaartjies betaal, maar ek kon nie vermy om te dink oor wat my UFC 292 ervaring sou gewees het soos as my UFC 78 ervaring, betaal deur Xyience, het amper vir my baie anders uitgedraai 16 jaar gelede.

Ek sal meer herkou oor die persoonlike verhaal van my eie Boston-tuiskoms en die veranderinge wat ons vir die UFC gesien het tussen die laaste geveg wat ek bygewoon het en hierdie een in 'n nuwe stuk waarop ek beplan om te skryf www.paythefighters.com. Bly ingeskakel daarvoor, maar kom ons kom eers by die UFC se goed saamgestelde vegkaart vir Saterdagaand.

Dit het begin met 'n verhaal van twee vlieggewig Silvas: Karine Silva en Natalia Silva. Daardie gevegte het geëindig met twee Silva-oorwinnings deur twee verskillende metodes, maar elke vegter was dominant in hul spesifieke style. Karine het Maryna Moroz met 'n laaste sekonde guillotine-verstikking gestuur net voor die einde van die eerste rondte. Dit was 'n fantastiese begin van 'n vertoning wat 'n paar pieke en valleie gehad het sover as die vermaaklikheidswaarde van sommige van die wedstryde. Natalia het haar tyd geneem en 'n wedstryd Andrea Lee van 'n afstand vir die grootste deel van die kompetisie gekies. Sy het tot 'n eenparige besluit gekom deur versigtig en versigtig te wees met haar treffende doel.

Volgende, 'n omstrede verdeelde besluit het die kansmakers se gunstelingvegter Andre Petrovski 'n oorwinning oor Gerald Meershaert gegee. Petrovski het blykbaar nie die kardio gehad om saam met die gesoute veteraan Meerschaert te hang nie. Al wat in hierdie geveg ontbreek het, was die gekonsentreerde slaankrag van Meershaert om Petrovski onder die knie te kry. Albei vegters het hul oomblikke gehad, maar dit het vir my duidelik gelyk dat Gerald die besiger en doeltreffender vegter was. Hy was slegs een van die roofslagoffers wat Saterdagaand deur die regters aangekla is nadat hy duidelik 'n hoofsaaklik tegniese geveg gewen het. Die aanrakinge van slugfest wat van tyd tot tyd besprinkel het, blyk altyd die meer wild en gretige Meerschaert te bevoordeel. Hy het beslis die oorwinning verdien. Ons sal 'n bietjie later oor nog 'n rooftog van gelyke kaliber praat.

'n Paar Ultimate Fighter Finale-gevegte het daarna gekom met Bantamgewigte Brad Katona en Cody Gibson wat dit afgeskop het deur "Fight of the Night"-eerbewyse te verdien. Hul tone-tot-toon skopbokswedstryd wat selde die grond vir baie lank getref het, het die skare beslis van begin tot einde laat opstaan. Katona was uiteindelik 'n sekonde vinniger met die gelykopuitslag en skerp genoeg met sy steekhoue en tellers om 'n oorwinning te verseker in 'n scrap waar hy dikwels een goeie hou moes vat om twee van sy eie te kry. Gibson het die resultate van Brad se akkuraatheid op sy gehawende gesig by die laaste klok gedra, maar hy het ook groot respek vir sy nooit-ophou benadering van beide die skare en die organisasie verdien. Die UFC het beide vegters kontrakte aangebied vir hul pogings in plaas daarvan dat net die wenner die kopknik gekry het.

Kurt Holobaugh moes teen vriend en mede-span Chandler-vegter Austin Hubbard veg in die Liggewig-eindstryd. Dit was 'n geveg wat vir Hubbard beter begin het as wat dit geëindig het. Uiteindelik na 'n kort uitvoelproses, Holobaugh het die momentum weggeneem en 'n fenomenale Triangle Choke net verseker 2:39 in die tweede raam. Albei vegters het hul oorheersende oomblikke gehad, maar dit was Holobaugh se swartgordel-jiu-jitsu-vaardighede wat die aand en die TUF-trofee gewen het.

Gregory Rodrigues het die Rus Dennis Tiuliulin absoluut gesloop in 'n middelgewiggeveg wat die Beantown-skare kortliks "VSA" laat sing het terwyl hulle na 'n Brasiliaanse vegter gesoek het.. "Robocop" het die skare-ondersteuning geniet en vinnig hul gejuig met sy afrondingsvaardighede in volle vertoon. Rodrigues lyk toevallig 'n bietjie soos die hoofkarakter in Netflix se "The Lincoln Lawyer,” as die karakter opgebou het na 'n paar rondtes steroïede. Rodrigues het beslis die wet neergelê en die Rus met 'n masjienagtige presisie tot bewusteloosheid gestamp. Hy het net een minuut geneem en 43 sekondes om die skare hul laaste stop tot die hoofbyeenkoms te gee.

Vyf reguit besluite het gevolg, twee van hulle het beslis deur die perfekte plasing van monsteragtige beenskoppe van die oorwinnaars. Die pynlikste van daardie twee wedstryde om na te kyk, was Chris Weidman wat die voorrondes afgesluit het deur Brad Tavares in 'n strafende middelgewigstryd teen te staan.. Weidman, kom terug van 'n kwaai rubber hoenderpootbesering waar hy op 'n heeltemal gebreekte been teen Uriah Hall probeer plant het, roes gelyk soos verroes kan wees. Elke takedown wat hy probeer het, het skynbaar maklik deur Tavares opgestop.

Elke ponswisseling was te min, te laat vir Weidman om terug te kom van die konstante beenskoppe wat beide die been met die ou besering en Weidman se ander been peper.. Selfs met 'n geskeurde MCL of ACL (volgens Dana White wat Weidman gedwing het om ná die geveg uit te tree), Weidman het Tavares om die hok bekruip en sy bes probeer om die geveg na hom te neem ten spyte van die gebreekte wiel. Tavares het 'n baie strategiese en slim geveg gewen, het die hele pro-Weidman-skare teleurgestel in die hoop op daardie wonderwerk-terugvertoning wat nooit gekom het nie.

Marlon "Chito" Vera en Pedro Munhoz het die hoofkaart oopgemaak met 'n eensydige verhouding wat Vera se geduld ten toon stel, treffende insig, en byna foutlose tegniek. Munhoz het die geveg op sy voete afgesluit, maar hy het baie gesigskade verduur om daar te kom. Chito het vir die grootste deel van die geveg op 'n veilige afstand gebly en het min risiko's geneem op pad na sy eenparige besluitoorwinning. Die reikwydte en spoed van Vera blyk die doeltreffendste voordele te wees wat hy geniet het teen die korter en bonkiger Munhoz. Vera, hoe vervelig hy ook al is om te kyk soms, het bewys hy verdien sy eie bantamgewigtitelskoot.

Die derde agtereenvolgende besluit het Mario Bautista 'n baie omstrede eenparige besluit oorwinning oor Da'Mon Blackshear gegee. Bautista het Blackshear uitgehaal wat grondbeheer betref, maar Blackshear was meer akkuraat in sy slaan en het meer beduidende treffers in die veergewig-afval gekry. Ek het beslis gedink hy het genoeg gedoen om te wen, maar die beoordelaars het die geveg nie op dieselfde manier gesien nie en het die wedstryd aan Bautista gegee.

Ian Garry en Neil Magny het volgende kragte gemeet in 'n weltergewigkompetisie wat nie ooreenstem nie. Magny het 'n geweldige hart getoon deur weer op te staan ​​na elke afslaan, maar hy kon nie die onophoudelike beenskoppe oorkom wat Garry gegooi het nie. Keith Peterson, skeidsregter, het 'n paar keer naby daaraan gekom om die geveg te stop, maar Magny het net genoeg aanhou doen om dit aan die gang te hou, soms op een been rondspring. Garry se aanval was net so op die punt soos sy trash talk-speletjie, die gees van Nate Diaz op te roep met 'n paar goed getimede handgebare. Die skare het sy voortgesette oorheersing gevier met Garry wat hulle vertel het van sy begeerte om eendag die beste vegter op die aarde te wees in sy na-geveg toespraak. Magny sal ’n antwoord op sy onlangse stryd moet vind as hy relevant in die UFC wil bly.

Weili Zhang en Amanda Lemos het volgende in 'n epiese titelgeveg afgereken. Lemos het byna 'n paar wonderbaarlike voorleggingspogings verseker, maar die strooigewig-titelgeveg het ontaard in 'n vraag of Lemos tot die finale klok kon oorleef of nie. Zhang het haar talente in al haar gebiede van kundigheid ten toon gestel, en Lemos kon net hoop om te wen deur middel van 'n paar Hail Mary-indieningspogings wat Zhang uit gewikkel het. Zhang se spoed, krag en duursaamheid het Lemos oorweldig en haar deur baie van die latere rondtes gesukkel om 'n stilstand te vermy. Op een of ander manier het sy dit reggekry, op haar pad geweldige skade aanrig. Zhang het weggestap en haar titel behou, tot groot vreugde van aanhangers wat haar deur die hele geveg gesteun het.

Uiteindelik, die hoofgebeurtenis het aangebreek, goed na middernag. Sean O’Malley het eerste die arena betree, en die skare het uitgebars. Baie van hulle het groen of pienk pruike gedra om O'Malley se kenmerkende voorkoms na te boots. O'Malley het eerlikwaar redelik versteen gelyk, asof hy die nag voor die geleentheid glad nie eers geslaap het nie. Aljamain Sterling het die hok binnegegaan na 'n koor van geboe wat hy probeer lig het deur die skare aan te spoor om hom meer te boe..

Die eerste rondte was meestal 'n vertoonvenster van voetwerk van albei vegters. O’Malley se kopspeletjies het dalk op Sterling gewerk, omdat hy in voorgeveg-onderhoude belowe het hy sal 'n eerste rondte TKO van sy eie verseker. Eerder as om op sy grootste krag staat te maak, sy worsteling, Sterling wou O’Malley in sy eie wedstryd klop. Dit blyk die verkeerde strategie te wees, 'n feit wat Sterling uiteindelik besef het toe hy aan die verkeerde kant van daardie TKO beland het. Daar was min pogings om O'Malley af te neem, en almal van hulle was heeltemal opgestop. Sterling het gevou en op die doek geval nadat hy vroeg in die tweede rondte met 'n O'Malley-teenhou geslaan is. Die res was geskiedenis aangesien O'Malley "die Suga-vertoning" afgesluit het met 'n bietjie McGregor-agtige grond en pond.

Albei vegters het puik na-geveg toesprake gelewer, getrou aan vorm. Sterling was genadig in nederlaag en het sy respek getoon vir O'Malley wat daarna streef om sy droom te bereik. Oorweging van Sterling het O'Malley voor die stryd gekritiseer omdat hy Dana White se troeteldierprojek was en nie 'n titelkoot verdien nie, dit was 'n groot mea culpa. Ook, as dit inderdaad alles daaroor gegaan het om deur mnr. White, O'Malley het dalk die Kaalvader afgemerk deur aan te dui dat hy meer teen die bokser Gervonta Davis wil veg as enige ander werklike UFC-vegter.

As slegs die tweede Dana White Contender Series-vegter om 'n wêreldtitel te verdien, O'Malley kan beslis in 'n mate sy eie houe noem, maar 'n boksoorgang is 'n baie sensitiewe onderwerp in die nasleep van Francis Ngannou wat onlangs opslae gemaak het omdat hy sy UFC-kontrak teruggetrek het en vir 'n swaargewig-bokswedstryd met Tyson Fury ingeteken het wat sy loopbaan-UFC-verdienste met 'n myl sal verduister. Slegs Conor McGregor kon tot dusver UFC-kopers oortuig om alles in te gaan in 'n oorkruisgeveg in boks. Dana White het sedertdien tentatiewe planne om "Zuffa Boxing" te skep heeltemal afgeskaf om sy vegters te verantwoord wat McGregor se profiel wil navolg, finansiële rekord en dapper bravade wat hom daardie geleentheid besorg het om Floyd Mayweather in 'n uitstallingswedstryd te veg.

Dikwels, om Dana White se aandag en respek te kry, vegters moet eenvoudig hulself genoeg verkoop om dit te vertaal in massiewe goedere en kaartjieverkope wat uit hul buzz gegenereer word. Baie soos die WWE, groot personas en kleurvolle karakters wen dikwels geleenthede in die UFC bo atlete wat net op hul fisiese vaardighede konsentreer. Veral stakers word bevoordeel, omdat hulle voldoen aan die UFC se geïmpliseerde "sit on a show" standaard van uitnemendheid wat opgelê word aan elke vegter wat in die hok stap. Dit is 'n styl van bestuur en wortel-en-stok-leierskap wat vegters flous om te dink dit is beter vir hul loopbane om voortdurend na vore te kom met min besorgdheid oor verdediging en geweldige risiko's te neem om baie meer opwindend en vermaaklik te wees as wat hulle nodig het om 'n spesifieke geveg te wen.

Nou erken hierdie kind O'Malley dat hy soos Dana self wil wees, gemaklik genoeg finansieel om te wed $250,000 per pokerhand. Die mees spesiale talent voor O'Malley het sy eie opkomende ster persona gebruik om sy eie naam handelsmerke te bou en sy eie whisky maatskappy te koop. Hy het 'n seiljag en 'n Lamborghini, en hy is steeds die mees besproke en geroepe vegter in die organisasie, selfs nadat hy so 'n eensydige stryd met Dustin Poirier verloor het en 'n paar jaar met 'n gebreekte been langs die kantlyn gestaan ​​het.. Die feit dat O'Malley kan besef en internaliseer dat hy waarskynlik nooit op Conor se vlak sal kom sonder 'n groot oorkruisgeveg in boks nie, spreek boekdele oor waar die UFC vandag is.

Dit is die soort ontwikkeling waaroor ek moet lag om te weet hoe moeilik dit was om al die vegterbetalings- en kontrakkwessies voor die hof te bring sonder 'n leër van prokureurs om die UFC se formidabele regspan die hoof te bied.. Een so 'n regsweermag het onlangs die trekpas verseker om 'n klasaksie-antitrust-geding namens meer as 1,200 voormalige UFC-vegters. Dit lyk of die regter in die saak reeds by die eisers skaar. Reaksie op UFC-klasaksiesertifisering: Wat het gebeur, en wat is volgende? (msn.com)

Wanneer die organisasie gekonfronteer word met statistieke wat toon dat die inkomste-aandeel vir vegters min is in vergelyking met ander groot sportsoorte met spelersverenigings, die reaksie is tipies iets tot die effek van: “Ons het soveel miljoenêrs gemaak. Dit gaan goed met ons vegters, en hulle kry almal baie finansiële geleenthede met die roem wat ons hulle gehelp het om te bereik.”

As 'n kenner van die UFC se finansiële geskiedenis en 'n gehoorlid by UFC 292, Ek kon nie vermy om die realiteit te konfronteer dat soveel "UFC Nut-hugger" joernaliste al die byvoordele van persvoorregte kry omdat hulle so goed saamspeel met daardie "Zuffa Myth" mentaliteit. Die mense wat die UFC op die kaart plaas, verlei hul ondersteuners subliminaal met toegang en beloftes van roem en geleenthede, en vegters en medialede word in daardie soort bestuursteaters ingesuig. Op sy beurt, jy eindig nie met veel nie ondersoekende beriggewing in MMA-mediakringe, en vegters wat baie vrae vra en beter kontrakvoorwaardes eis, word nie herteken of opgestel met prima-geveg-wedstryde nie.

Dit het die uitslag van die hoofgebeurtenis geneem om die kwessie vir my werklik duidelik te maak oor hoe die UFC voortdurend die fokus hou op hul veronderstelde vermoë om supersterre te skep net deur 'n vegter enige kontrak met die organisasie te laat teken.. Sommige wat saamstem dat dit die geval is, sal sê dit was die organisasie se vermoë om genoeg talent in O'Malley te sien om hom op Dana White se Contender Series te plaas wat gelei het tot die skouspelagtige opkoms van die nuwe kampioen se ry.. Sekerlik, O'Malley sou nie eers Saterdagaand in Boston gewees het as hy nooit by die organisasie ingekom het nie. Egter, daar was baie DWCS-vegters wat nie meer UFC-geleenthede gekry het nie omdat hulle daardie intreevlak-geveg verloor het. O’Malley moes wen en aanhou wen om te wees waar hy Saterdagaand was.

Die punt is: Sean O'Malley se kultusaanhang en geweldige selfvertroue is die resultaat van sy eie persoonlike kruistog om iemand spesiaal te wees met onbeperkte potensiaal en wonderlike talent. Hy sou nooit eers in die gesprek wees vir 'n titel as hy nie al die ongekende ure in die gimnasium ingesit het om beter te wees nie. Die UFC het nie Sean O'Malley geskep nie, hulle het hom net 'n platform gegee om te wys watter soort vegter hy kan wees. En terwyl hy die supersterdom geniet waarvoor die UFC hulself eer, O'Malley moet weet die enigste manier waarop hy sy verdienpotensiaal kan maksimeer, is om die organisasie self te verduister. Hy moet bo en buite hul beperkende finansiële grense gaan na 'n sport waar die inkomsteaandeel soveel beter is en 'n ou soos Francis Ngannou meer in een geveg kan maak as wat hy in sy hele UFC-loopbaan gemaak het..

So, As Dana White regtig Sean O'Malley sy troeteldierprojek gemaak het soos Aljamain Sterling voorgestel het, hy het goeie werk gedoen. Ongelukkig, die monster wat hy geskep het, kan op die lange duur terugkom om hom te byt. Nog 'n bokskaart wat saam deur UFC bevorder word, sal te veel van hul werknemers probeer om dieselfde roete te volg en te wonder hoekom Dana se klein maatjie al die pouses en voordele kry. Veterane en nuwelinge sal waarskynlik albei kyk na enige hoë Davis vs. O'Malley-bokswedstryd as 'n erkenning deur hul leierskap dat die UFC nie hul vegters genoeg kan betaal om hulle in die hok te hou nie.

“Kind, jy het geen idee hoeveel geld jy gaan maak nie,” het Dana White ná die oorwinning aan O’Malley gesê volgens 'n onlangse O'Malley-onderhoud. verbeel ek my in sy kop, Dana het daardie gedagte klaargemaak met “ons.”

Bellator MMA 291 Hoofkaartresultate:

  (C) Yaroslav Amosov(27-0) verslaan #1-Logan Storley(14-1) via 'n eenparige besluit (50-45, 50-45, 50-45)

Amosov -aanhalings:'Ek voel baie goed, want ek het lank hierop gewag. Ek oefen harde oefening, En ek voel baie motivering en verantwoordelikheid. Nou, Ek ontspan. Ek sal ontspan na die geveg, En ek is gelukkig, want ek dink ek het my land 'n goeie dag gegee. Dit is die eerste keer dat ek groot ondersteuning in die hok gehad het. In Amerika, Ek het ondersteuning gehad, Maar nie soos vandag nie. Baie Oekraïense vlae, baie Oekraïense mense. My oom, my vriende; Ek sien baie mense. Dit was 'n groot ondersteuning, En dit het my baie goeie energie gegee. ”

Op sy boodskap aan die mense van die Oekraïne: 'Dankie vir my land, Dankie vir my leër en die ondersteuners. Dit was vir my land. Vandag dink ek dit is 'n baie goeie dag vir my land. Om twee goue gordels vas te hou. ”

On If He’s the Best Welterweight on the Planet: “I think yes, [that was my best performance]. Natuurlik [I think I’m the best welterweight in the world]. I am here. If a UFC champion wants to fight, come to BELLATOR. Scott Coker will give the contract, and we’ll make the fight.”

On His First Match with Logan Storley: “Before this fight, I said this fight was different. I have many kilograms that I cut for my first match with Logan [Storley]. Now I had a very good camp and recovery as well as different training. Every day I train hard and become better. I have the best team with me. Hy is [Logan Storley] a very good fighter, and I knew this. All people who enter the cage are strong, so if you go in the cage, you’re a high-level fighter. It’s not a surprise to me, maar ek is gereed [for everything]."

Op oefen met die wêreldkampioen van Bellator Middleweight, Johnny Eblen: 'Hy is my vriend [Johnny Ebts]. Ek oefen elke keer saam met hom, Hy is baie hoë vlak. Hy is 'n baie goeie vegter en 'n regte kampioen. Wanneer ons Spar, Baie mense kyk en ek dink dit is pragtig. '

#5-Jeremy Kennedy(19-3) verslaan #3-Pedro Carvalho(13-7) via 'n eenparige besluit (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Kennedy aanhalings: 'Ek is gelukkig met die oorwinning, ondanks alles. Ek sou graag die afwerking wou kry, Maar daar is baie omstandighede wanneer u oor die hele wêreld reis. Ek is net gereed vir die volgende een. Dit was my rehidrasie, Ek dink. Ek het foute gemaak op die rehidrasie. Ek was regtig droog – Ek het nie gesweet nie, Maar ek het daar uitgeput gevoel; My gastenk [normaalweg] baie beter as dit. Hy het aan die begin 'n stywe druk gehad, maar hy het te vroeg daarvoor gespring, maar ek dink ek is die beste grappler in die afdeling. He had a little bit of a squeeze but it ultimately got me the takedown. I wanted to really hurt him with some hands, but he’s a pressure fighter. I thought I could sit him down, but as soon as I got ahold of him, Ek was soos, ‘This is my path to victory.’”

On Fighting for the Title Next: “I believe so, I don’t know who else is there for me to fight. Three wins in a row. Sanchez, Pico, and Carvalho and they have all been dominant victories.. I’ve been all around the world; it’s a cool way to see the world. In a perfect world, I get to fight somewhere in the United States, but I’d fight ‘Pitbull’ in a WalMart. Ek kom. I’ve been on his heels the whole time. When I was fighting Borics and I was fighting Pico, Ek was soos: Ek kan nie wag om die geleentheid te kry om teen hom te veg nie. Nou is daar gepraat dat hy afgaan na 135; Hy noem waarskynlik sy voedingsdeskundige op die oomblik omdat hy nie hierdie stryd wil hê nie. Kom ons doen dit. Ons kan so gou moontlik gaan. Ek sal hom in enige uithoek van die wêreld veg, binne enige tydsraamwerk. ”

Bryce Logan(12-8) verslaan #10-Peter Queally(12-8) via TKO (stoot) by 2:32 van die tweede ronde

#3-Sinead Kavanagh(9-5) verslaanJanay Harding(6-7) via 'n eenparige besluit (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)

Kavanagh aanhalings: 'Ek voel goed. Dit voel goed om weer daar in te kom. Dit was 'n lekker oorwinning. Ek het 'n show gaan aanbied, En dit is al wat ek moes doen. Ek het in een stuk gehou; Ek kan binnekort weer gaan, wat is 'n groot. Ek trek 'n kliniek aan. Ek het geweet dat sy 'n doelskieter was, Ek het dus daarin gewys wat ek die laaste keer gedoen het 12 weke. Alles is goed. ”

Op 'n moontlike heruitsending met Cris Cyborg: 'Dit is twee wonderlike oorwinnings, En ek het albei kere 'n show aangebied. Ek is gereed. Ek wil [Kris] 'Cyborg' in Dublin. Dit is wat ek wil hê. Veg die beste in Ierland, Sinead Kavanagh. Ek was goed voorbereid op Cris 'Cyborg'. Ek sal nie in dinge jaag nie. Ek sal gereed wees. ”

'Ek het 'n goeie 15 minute [in] daar. Goeie stakings. My krag was daar. Ek wil wel 'cyborg' hier hê. Ek wil haar in Dublin hê. Maar dit is in September, Dit is te lank. Ek wil nog een hê en dan 'cyborg.' '

As u die uitslag van die eerste Harding Fight regstel: 'Dit voel goed; Ek het my teruggekry. Dit sal vir altyd op my rekord wees. Ek het gewen, En ek is beter. ”

Ciaran Clarke(7-0) verslaanLeonardos Sinis(11-6-1) via 'n eenparige besluit (30-26, 30-26, 30-26)

Clarke Quotes: "Dit was 'n skoon prestasie. Ek sou natuurlik van die afwerking gehou het. [Teenstander Leonardos China het] Beweeg voor weltergewig en liggewig; Hy is 'n groot seun. '

Op die groot voordeel van sy teenstander, Gewig mis: 'Ek het gedink hy is 'n goeie akteur. Kyk, Ek het glad nie gedink dit maak saak nie, want ek het geweet dat ek in elk geval 'n paar kilogram opgee. Dit was 'n vanggewig en hy het gewig gemis. Ek het geweet hy kom groot. ”

Op wat hy volgende wil hê: 'Twee Dublin -vertonings elke jaar. Word beter vir die volgende een, Einde Junie, Julie. Daardie besluite, Al my besluite, Ek het 10-8 rondes. 7-0. Ek dink dit is daar bo met die wenstrepe in die maatskappy. Dit is 'n bietjie grys van Bellator; Die ranglys is solied, Dan is dit grys daaronder. Mense noem die ranglys - ek probeer geleidelik tot op daardie punt kom. As hulle dit aanbied, Ek sal dit aanvaar, want dit is net wie ek is, Maar solank dit sinvol is en die vordering daarvan. Ek is hier in Bellator; Wat hulle ook al sê, ek is waardig. '

Op 'n potensiële wedstryd met Khasan MagomedSharipov: 'Ek dink ons ​​pas goed saam en sê soos ek sal veg. Hulle kom almal agter my aan: die hele stad, die hele land, ek voel. Hulle bring busse op. Ek voel regtig soos 'n wenner. Ek het die hele stad hierheen gebring. Mense praat. Daardie gons in die stad, Almal kom agter my. Dit is onwerklik. ”

NEF CLOSES OUT TENTH YEAR OF BUSINESS WITH SOLD-OUT, BLOCKBUSTER EVENT IN PORTLAND

On a milestone New England Fights card dominated by first-round fireworks, Jonathan Piersma went the distance with a ground-and-pound clinic and overwhelmed one of the promotion’s most enduring stars Saturday night.

Piersma followed his gameplan to the letter and hammered out a unanimous decision over Ryan Sanders to win the vacant professional welterweight title in the main event of NEF 50, held at Aura in Portland, Maine.

Fighting in front of a sold-out crowd heavy with Sanders’ supporters and targeted by the Bangor, Maine veteran’s taunts and trash talk in the lead-up to the fight, Piersma (5-1) arrived from Rochester, New York, and did all his talking on the canvas.

True to Sanders’ forecast that he would shoot for the leg and try to force the action to the mat, Piersma did so in every round and never gave Sanders enough breathing room to unleash his vaunted strikes.

Piersma swept all five rounds on each of three scorecards and enjoyed the last word on the microphone in the center of the cage.

“It feels good to win in my first trip to Maine,” Piersma said. “He did a lot of talking, and he’s a tough guy, but I felt like I dominated the fight.”

All but one of Piersma’s wins as a pro have gone to the final bell. The setback for Sanders (20-10) ended a streak of five consecutive wins by stoppage, four in the first round.

Others experienced that rush on the historic anniversary docket with a parade of electrifying, early endings.

Twelve supporting bouts reached a verdict in the first round, several in a matter of a few seconds. Two others were halted in the second stanza, while only one bout prior to the main event went to the scheduled limit.

Jared Turcotte, Ras Hylton, and Robert Gray were the three prime contenders for knockout of the night.

Turcotte, formerly one of Maine’s most decorated high school and college football players, backed up a 35-second choke-out in his summer debut with a 13-second demolition of Regian Da Silva, Jr.

After a brief exchange in the center of the cage, Turcotte landed one shot that sent his New Hampshire opponent by way of Brazil into la-la land.

“I work hard at this. My goal is to get knockouts, and that’s what the fuck happened,” Turcotte said. “My goal actually was for this one to get to the second round, but I’ll take a 13-second KO any time.”

Bellator veteran Hylton (9-6) has decked his past two opponents in a total of 29 sekondes. He expended only 16 ticks of the watch Saturday in a heavyweight shellacking of Indiana’s Jordan Mitchell.

Hylton followed Mitchell to the canvas after the first haymaker and continued his assault to solidify the stoppage.

He dedicated the win to his wife, Janice, in honor of 10 years together.

“She took a drug-addled moron and turned him into something respectable,” the heavy hitter known to his fans as Rasquatch and the Jamaican Shamrock said.

In an amateur cruiserweight contest, Robert Gray (1-0) knocked out Cody Dular (1-1) in 30 seconds. Gray landed a right hand so powerful that it actually launched Dular off his feet into the air. Dular was unconscious for several moments following the knockout and needed attention from the ringside physician.

In an eagerly anticipated grudge match, Matt Denning (8-16) entered the cage in arguably the best shape of his career and exploded to a convincing win over Carl Langston (2-7) by 145 pond.

Denning backed up his own self-assured forecast and simultaneously dispelled Langston’s claim that he was merely fighting for the paycheck. After intercepting one of several sweeping kicks from Langston, Denning gained control of his opponent’s back and earned a tap to rear naked choke at 1:01 van die eerste ronde.

The quick turn of events ended Langston’s modest two-match winning streak as a pro while giving Denning his third win out of eight fights in the past six months alone.

Three other pro bouts ended in short order.

Mohammad Al Kinani (4-1) spoiled Tymar Miles’ debut with a technical knockout in 1:57. It was the second straight win for the rising lightweight star.

Detroit’s Darren Gibbs (3-10) showed that his record is beyond deceiving with a vicious kick to the inside of Nate Grimard’s leg, followed by a heelhook to end the night for Grimard (2-2) by 1:49 in their 150-pound catchweight clash.

Brian Cosco, a knockout victim of Denning in his pro debut earlier the year, turned the tables and spoiled the maiden paying voyage for Justin Kangas with a keylock at 1:18.

As was the case on the pro side, the main amateur attraction also went to the scorecards, with Zach Faulkner (5-3) grinding out a majority decision over newcomer Chase O’Brien.

O’Brien landed a late barrage that might have ended the fight in a few more seconds. Plaas, he settled for a 28-28 draw in one judge’s view and a slim 29-28 loss on the other two cards.

Danny Wahlberg rose from the ashes to defeat Eddy Pena by rear naked choke at 2:13 of the second round in easily the most sensational comeback of the evening.

Pena may have emptied his arsenal with an explosion that nearly persuaded the referee to call a halt on at least two occasions. In desperation mode, Wahlberg threw a couple of token counterpunches before taking Pena’s back to set up the fantastic finish to the featherweight scrap.

In another stunning twist of plot, Nick Mulrey (2-0) escaped a near-guillotine from Chris Strout (0-3) and just as quickly locked in a D’arce choke to hasten the end of their featherweight showdown in only 41 sekondes.

The lone women’s bout of the occasion went to Cassidy Bedard (2-0), who subdued Lindsey Kelley by rear naked choke with just 20 seconds remaining in their opening round. It was the mixed martial arts debut for Kelley, who accepted the challenge on two weeks’ notice.

Other amateur results:

Ed Davis (2-0) defeated Patrick Mitchell (1-1) by strikes one minute into the first round.

Tristan Wood (1-0) overpowered Armon Bryant (0-1) via guillotine at 42 seconds of the second round.

Soren Mercer (1-0) finished Rosen Iliev (0-1) with an arm triangle at 1:55 van die eerste ronde.

Teddy Politis (3-1) TKO’d Aaron Rodriguez (0-1) in die tweede ronde op 1:23.

NEF announced that its next card is set for Saturday, Februarie 11, 2023 by Cross Insurance Centre in Bangor, Maine. One of the featured attractions at NEF 51: “Banger in Bangor” will be an amateur title bout between 2-0 bantamweights Key Baltazar and Nate Dorr. Tickets are available now atwww.TicketMaster.com

The product of the renowned Club Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov’s School in Dagestan and the prestigious American Kickboxing Academy, Rabadanov’s pedigree is world-class.
