FNU Combat Sports Show: UFC 214 sammenbrud, Ingen kan lide Dana White, Tom og Tony nedbryder Broner vs.. Garcia og Lomachenko vs.. Marriaga

Efterlad en kommentar

Denne uges kampsportshow er en delt personlighedssituation. Vi havde tekniske problemer med at få os alle sammen til showet, så vi indspillede Tom og Tony chatter med hinanden torsdag aften. Jeg har tilføjet min del i dag. Det hele fungerede til en utrolig indsigt om Mayweather vs.. McGregor, Dana Whites voksende problem med utilfredse stjerner i UFC, Broner vs. Garcia og Lomachenko vs.. Marriaga. Vi nedbryder også Jon Jones, der slår Daniel Cormier på UFC 214 og konsekvenserne for et møde i Brock Lesnar i Octagon. Det er langt fra sandsynligt, men det er spændende. Vi berører også pensioneringerne fra Juan Manuel Marquez og Wladimir Klitschko.

Tony Penecale (venstre) og Lou Duva (højre) ved Brockton, Massachusetts dedikation af Rocky Marciano-statuen.

Vores show i denne uge var dedikeret til Lou Duva (over højre med vores co-vært Tony Penecale). Lou døde tidligere på ugen i den modne alderdom af 1994. Han var en stor ven for Rocky Marciano, en promotor af 19 verdensmestre, og en mand, der havde alle sine jern i den ene ild, der tændte hans liv: boksning. Arrangøren / træner / manager / legende dukkede op på FNU Combat Sports-showet år tilbage, men desværre er lyden kornet og plettet. Hvis du lytter nøje til ædelstene, opvejer vores tale op til de svære steder at høre.

Det fulde Lou Duva-interview er her:

UFC 209: Woodley vs.. Wonderboy and Khabib vs. Ferguson Preview and Prediction

Efterlad en kommentar

Ved: Rich Bergeron

UFC 209 is fast approaching with two dynamic fights headlining the card, including a highly anticipated rematch closing the show. 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.

Stephen Thompson (13-1-1) gets another crack at the welterweight title against Tyron Woodley (16-3-1) i main event. 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.

Stadig, 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?

Forudsigelse: 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. I mellemtiden, 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) vs. Tony Ferguson (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: Michael Johnson. 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. Han har 8 submissions to go with 9 T/KOs and five decisions.

FORSIGELSE: 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, Jr. while these two contenders are setting up an inevitable rematch. Men, 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. Selvfølgelig, anything can happen in that cage and anyone can have a bad night at the office, but perfection is hard to argue with.

UFC 183: Hvem vil dukke op?

Efterlad en kommentar


Photo Credit: UFC

The Ultimate Fighting Championship har ramt det ud af parken så langt i 2015, med sine første to store kort af året lever op til den hype af deres vigtigste begivenheder. Lys sværvægter mester Jon Jones domineret Daniel Cormier at bevise, at han er den pund-for-pund bedste fighter i verden i UFC 182, og ved UFC live kort i Boston, Mass., i januar, Conor McGregor sikret en fjerlette titel skud mod José Aldo og spildte ingen tid at komme i hans næste modstanders ansigt.

Hvilket bringer os til UFC 183 i aften, og en main event, der betragtes som en drøm matchup af mange. Anderson Silva vender tilbage til Octagon efter lider en grufuld benskade i hans sidste kamp mod UFC mellemvægt mester Chris Weidman i 2013. Nick Diaz også gør hans tilbagevenden til UFC efter at miste sin sidste kamp mod den tidligere weltervægt mester Georges St. Pierre i 2013.

Aftens kort er ikke uden andre historier om. Et par væsentlige undercard kampe finder sted under nogle kontroverser, som fluevægt John Lineker kom i overvægt for sin kamp mod Ian McCall, som forventes at bestemme det næste ikke. 1 udfordrer til fluevægt titel. I co-main event, Kelvin Gastelum kom i 9 pounds overvægt for hans kamp mod Tyron Woodley, hvilke organer 30 procent af Gastelum kamp pung faktisk går til Woodley. Tal om spot til skade.

Selvfølgelig, er der altid wild card med Diaz også. Han spiller med sine egne regler, have no-viste de åbne træning tidligere i denne uge. Vil han faktisk møder op til buret til aftenens vigtigste begivenhed? Det er stadig uvist, selvom de fleste alle tror han vil.

Så, sagt alt,, Hvem skal jeg tror vinder i aften?

Miesha "Cupcake" Tate (15-5) vs. Sara McMann (8-1) (Kvinders bantamvægt - 135 lbs.)

Dette er faktisk den vigtigste begivenhed i det foreløbige kort på Fox Sports 1. Tate anmodet om at konkurrere på denne del af kortet i stedet for pay-per-view-kort, tager en side fra Urijah Fabers playbook. Tate er også ivrig for en tredje kamp med Ronda Rousey for kvindernes bantamvægt titel. Begge disse kvinder har lidt Rousey vrede, især McMann, der blev revet ned af Rousey i omkring et minut sidste år.

McMann er en ren wrestler med meget lidt andet at hendes repertoire, mens Tate bygget på hendes etablerede wrestling færdigheder til at blive en effektiv angriber. Jeg tror, ​​hun vil proppe McMann forsøg på at tage denne kamp til måtten og bruge hende langt overlegen slående færdigheder til at holde McMann omtåget på vej til en dominerende sejr.

Vinder: Tate ved enstemmig afgørelse

Jordan "Young Gun" Mein (29-9) vs. Thiago "Pitbull" Alves (25-9) (Weltervægt - 170 lbs.)

Alves har vekslet gevinster og tab i sine sidste seks kampe, mens Mein rider en to-kamp win streak. Alves er altid farligt med hans Muay Thai og slående, mens Mein landede en første runde TKO sejr i sin sidste kamp. Dette bør være en spændende stand-up kamp med hverken fyr villige til at give en tomme. Jeg tror Alves er den mere farlig fighter her, og vil lande et godt skud til at banke Mein fjollet.

Vinder: Alves efter anden runde TKO

Thales Leites (24-4) vs. Tim "The Barbarian" Boetsch (18-7) (Mellemvægt - 185 lbs.)

Leites comes into this fight on a roll, having won his last seven fights, with the last two coming by way of TKO. Boetsch has alternated wins and losses in his last four fights, including a TKO victory in his last fight against Brad Tavares.

Boetsch is a slow, plodding bruiser best known for derailing the Hector Lombard hype train when he first made his UFC debut. Leites is a crafty, dangerous fighter who can finish you with his hands or by submission. I think Leites will avoid Boetsch’s power and wait for Boetsch to make a mistake, where Leits will capitalize.

Vinder: Leites by third round submission

Joe Lauzon (24-10) vs. Al “Raging” Iaquinta (10-3-1) (Lightweight – 155 lbs.)

You know what you’re getting with a Joe Lauzon fight. You’re going to see an exciting, action packed bout that will most likely end with him locking in a slick submission or, in the case of his fight against Jim Miller, suffering a gnarly cut that will guarantee a blood battle.

Iaquinta has been on a roll since his time on The Ultimate Fighter Live, having only lost once in his last six fights. A win against Lauzon would be a real feather in his cap and might propel him into title contendership discussion. But Lauzon is one of the best submission specialists in the UFC, and I think the crafty veteran has another submission up his sleeve.

Vinder: Lauzon by second round submission

Tyron "The Chosen One" Woodley (14-3) vs. Kelvin Gastelum (11-0) (Weltervægt - 170 lbs.)

As mentioned above, Gastelum weighed in 9 pounds over for this fight and will forfeit 30 percent of his purse directly to Woodley. It was reported that Gastelum spent time in the hospital leading up to this fight, which contributed to him coming in overweight.

Woodley will be angry in this fight, and rightly so. It’s not fair that his opponent will have a weight advantage due to his own failure to do what he was supposed to do. Give Woodley credit for wanting to keep fighting when it would have been perfectly understandable to postpone it.

Woodley will channel his rage into a blitzkrieg of offense at Gastelum, and the lethargic and probably still-injured Gastelum will have no response.

Vinder: Woodley by second round TKO

Anderson "The Spider" Silva (33-6) vs. Nick Diaz (27-9-1) (Mellemvægt - 185 lbs.)

This is one of the several main events that have fight fans buzzing in 2015. Many didn’t think Silva would ever walk again after his leg injury against Weidman, let alone come back to the UFC to fight. The matchup style of Diaz wanting to push the pace, get in his opponent’s face and sucker him into trading blows against Silva’s unrivaled elusiveness will be interesting to watch.

Diaz said he wouldn’t trash talk Silva during this fight out of respect. But if Silva keeps bobbing and weaving and dodging Diaz’s punches, we’ll see how long Diaz commits to that. I think we’ll see vintage Silva in this fight, making Diaz look silly in some spots while landing well-timed strikes that will confuse and frustrate Diaz, which will allow Silva to land even more.

Diaz is too tough to finish, but this fight will show that Silva still has it and is the vastly superior fighter.

Vinder: Silva by unanimous decision
