Herpes Derails Major UFC Light Heavyweight Fight at UFC Vegas 106

Efterlad en kommentar

Ved: Rich Bergeron

If just having Herpes isn’t enough of a downer, getting a huge payday rescheduled because of complications from the virus has to be completely demoralizing.

Light Heavyweight Rodolfo Bellato (pictured at above left) recently had to pull out of a fight at UFC Vegas 106 with UFC Legend Paul Craig. The slashing of the bout from the card came at a very late hour. Announcers had to let the viewing public know about the major change right in the middle of the event.

Oddly enough, it was Bellato himself who explained it was a case of Herpes that caused him to back out of the fight. The UFC broadcast team would only refer to Bellato’s inability to compete as “an unspecified medical issue.” The only thing that might be worse than dealing with Herpes is having to tell everyone in the world you’ve got Herpes.

Most people would be happy to avoid the explanation Bellato gave and just say no comment. Men, the Brazilian behemoth was up front and honest in explaining why he had to miss a chance to take on Paul Craig in the Octagon.

“I never thought that herpes would take me out of a fight! I’m sorry to all of you guys, but it’s something that’s out of our control,” Bellato wrote in an apology post on social media. “I’ll have more news soon!” In the accompanying video, Bellato displayed a closer look at the “herpes,” which thankfully appeared to be of the cold sore variety.

There are the cold sore only kind of herpes and then there are the dreaded genital herpes.

According to the Mayo Clinic:

“Cold sores spread from person to person by close contact, such as kissing. They’re usually caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), and less commonly herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). Both of these viruses can affect the mouth or genitals and can be spread by oral sex. The virus can spread even if you don’t see the sores.”

Tro det eller ej, this has actually happened a couple times before with a cold sore derailing a team versus team fight in two recent seasons of The Ultimate Fighter. First it happened on Season 32 (Grasso versus Shevchenko) when Omran Chaaban had his fight with Shamidkhan Magomedov called off due to Chaaban developing a cold sore. During the prior season a cold sore also derailed a Team McGregor versus Team Chandler bout. Timur Valiev and Trevor Wells were the combatants then, and they fought later on in that same season after a cold sore suffered by Wells saw their first opportunity scrapped.

As UFC officials work to reschedule the bout, Bellato will have to address the condition and make sure he treats his outbreak appropriately. It’s definitely one of the weirdest ways to lose a prime fight opportunity in the most premier MMA league on the planet.

On the bright side, both fighters will get a little bit more time to prepare for each other’s unique styles. Fans could see a better fight as a result. Craig will be entering the cage for this bout riding a three-fight losing skid while Bellato’s most recent blemish on his record was a lackluster performance against Jimmy Crute that ended in a draw. It’s a legend versus prospect fight all the way, and both men will be trying to prove that the Octagon is where they belong.

The Weekly Fight News Unlimited Combat Sports Wager Report

Ved: Rich Bergeron

There’s no PFL MMA this week and nothing in the works for them until June. This week the UFC offers us another “Apex” fight card headlined by Gilbert Burns (22-8) versus Michael Morales (17-0) with UFC Fight Night 256. It’s really the only major MMA betting action available this weekend.

Let’s get into the available boxing action before we dive into the best UFC betting opportunities for the week. Our boxing bout of the week is a rematch for the ages.

We go to the Copper Box Arena in London where Johnny Fisher (13-0, 11 KOS) tager på David Allen (23-7, 18 KOS) in part two of a British heavyweight boxing odyssey. Their first fight generated serious controversy with many experts convinced Allen won the bout with Fisher winning two scorecards by a single point (95-94) and Allen winning by three points on the third judge’s card (96-93).

Fisher is still a formidable favorite on DraftKings med en -275 moneyline despite all the doubts about his last performance. It’s not hard to see why the bookies like Fisher. The decision against Allen last time interrupted a 7-fight knockout streak for him. Allen has only been knocked out once, af a 4-0 fighter in the 10th round back in 2018.

Allen comes into this fight with a chip on his shoulder and a +210 moneyline. He’s knocked out some very good fighters himself, guys like Lucas Browne (31-6, 27 KOS). A Knockout bet on Allen would probably seem absurd, but since he’s a fighter who should feel shafted by the judges last time out, it’s an intriguing choice.

På den ene side, Allen might have honestly been the better fighter last time out. På den anden side, “The Romford Bull” Johnny Fisher seems more capable of his own knockout to end the night early.

Due to the fact that we know Allen hasn’t been stopped in 7 år, this might be a good spot for an “alternate choice bet.” Fisher by Decision once again or Allen by KO/TKO/DQ. We could also have better judges this time and Allen going the distance again. Allen could certainly end up winning his own decision this time around. If you think there’s no doubt he’s the better man, go with the moneyline just in case the KO never comes.

There’s not much juice with a moneyline bet on Fisher, but maybe there is if it’s thrown into a solid parlay.

This fight is featured on DAZN and is one of two boxing matches this weekend with close enough lines to debate about. Tjek oddsjam to find which sportsbook is offering the best odds for this fight.

Our second match is worth some serious discussion as Artur Reis (14-1, 9 KOS) is taking on Mate Rudan (8-0, 7 KOS) in Germany for the IBF European Super Middleweight Title. The Croation Rudan is the underdog with a +140 moneyline on Draft Kings even though he’s finished 7 of his eight total opponents.

Rudan also comes in with a record that is remarkably similar to the one brought into the ring by the only fighter to beat Reis: Osleys Iglesias (nu 13-0, 12 KOS). One the other side of Rudan’s success is the fact that he’s only battled four opponents with winning records. Compare that to the 9 guys with more wins than losses challenged by Reis over the years.

Reis is a -180 moneyline bet on Draft Kings. This will be his second 10-round fight.

Rudan will be going into his first 10-rounder. The only other time Rudan fought in Germany was when he beat a fighter with a ridiculous losing record of 5-52-4.

For Reis, this will be his thirteenth fight in his home country. The Wolfsburg resident might see “hometown cooking” factor in his favor if the fight is close. Reis has only knocked out fighters with subpar records so far in their careers, and Rudan is not that kind of slouch. This makes Reis by moneyline or decision the two best bets to drop on this contest.

UFC Fight Night 256 Apex Main Card

Michael Morales (-850) tager på Gilbert Burns (+575) at Welterweight in the classic grizzled veteran versus new phenom main event of this event. Morales is undefeated, knocking out three of his five UFC opponents since he arrived on the scene through a decision win on Dana White’s Contender Series in September 2021.

If you’re afraid of the -800 option of the moneyline bet, take a chance on Morales by TKO for -150 på Draftkings. Keep in mind this will be the 24th UFC fight for Burns. Can he rely on the experience factor to even the odds? If you like Burns, den +575 moneyline is really the only way to go. Burns has a very well-balanced winning record with 6 KOS, 9 redegørelser, og 7 beslutninger.

Even though Burns lost 4 af hans sidste 6, all four of those fighters he lost to are considered top-level UFC talent. The fighters who beat him in that stretch were Sean Brady, Jack Della Maddalena, Belal Muhammad, and Khamzat Chimaev, who currently claim a combined 74 wins and just 7 tab.

Is Morales at that elite level yet? Is he really in the same category as those killers? The bookies seem to think he is with those astronomical odds. Can he do what Della Maddalena did to Burns? Jeg ved ikke,, but he’ll have five rounds to try.

Burns is 38 years old and may take a page out of Jose Aldo’s book and retire if he loses this fight. Will he be inspired enough to grind out a win and prove there is a difference between legends and prospects in the UFC? If you think so, en “alternative method of victory double chance” bet is in order. Burns by decision or Morales by KO. Draft Kings offers that option at -200 odds.

If you back Burns earning a win by submission you’ll get a windfall payout with that outcome currently sitting at +1400 odds on Draft Kings. Burns last notched a submission against Neil Magny with an arm trial choke in the first round to end their January 21, 2023 bout at UFC 283. Burns has not knocked anyone out in a little over five years of competition.

The co-main event is more of the same with veteran submission artist Paul Craig (17-9-1, 13 redegørelser) pitted against young upstart Rodolfo Bellato (12-2) at Light Heavyweight.

Suprisingly, two out of Craig’s last three wins have actually come by TKO. You’ll get +700 odds if he knocks out Bellato. Craig is a +400 on the moneyline, so that’s a great return without having to pick a method of victory. If you think he gets back to his submission ways, you’ll get +550 odds for that on Draft Kings.

Bellato is -535 on Draft Kings, even though he only has two official UFC fights compared to “The Bearjew” entering the cage for his 20th fight with the promotion. A better bet if you like Bellato is TKO/KO/DQ or Submission at -280 på Draft Kings.

Losing five of his last six fights should not scare you away from putting a flyer on the Paul Craig moneyline here. He’s been matched with real bruisers and established veterans in all those bouts. Here against an unproven new guy, he’s game to get a win. Bellato has been knocked out twice, both times by fellow UFC Fighter Vitor Petrino.

Mairon Santos (15-1) makes his way to the main card this Saturday in another youth versus experience matchup against Sodiq Yusuf (13-4) at Lightweight. Santos isn’t even a year into his official UFC career while Yusuf is entering his 10th official bout with the promotion.

Santos is also coming off a controversial split decision win against Francis Marshall. Both fighters battled to a close decision with Santos getting the nod in a fight he definitely struggled in. Yusuff lost three of his last five fights, but all of them were against top tier UFC talent.

I personally like Yusuff on the +120 moneyline to test Santos (-142) to his limits. His finishes have all been recorded in the first round during his time in the UFC so far. Santos has his one loss by knockout, so if you’re feeling lucky you could go with Yusuff by Knockout at +550. Yussuff by first round knockout is hovering around +1100 odds with a first round submission posting on Draft Kings på +1400. It should be a safe moneyline bet for Yusuff here. I don’t see Santos bringing the same experience and wisdom to the cage that Yusuff brings.

Yusuff might also be worried he won’t stick around the promotion much longer without a big finish against Santos. Yusuff by TKO or Submission is sitting at +400. It’s tempting. This guy’s back is against the cage and the UFC frowns on retaining fighters who lose multiple fights in a row. It’s a time in his career where he has to put on a good show or go home. The UFC has too much talent like Mairon Santos coming through the development and prospect phases. Yusuff is in a tough spot and has to have a phenomenal fight performance to impress the bosses.

Dustin Stoltzfus (16-6) is coming into his Middleweight fight with the dominant Nursulton Ruziboev (35-9-2, 2 No Contests) as a serious underdog with a +240 moneyline price tag.

Ruziboev is a master of stoppages with 33 sin 35 wins coming by submission or knockout. Ruziboev by TKO/KO/DQ or Submission is -200. It’s a little more economical than his -298 moneyline odds.

Only one seasoned and formidable UFC fighter could stop a 10-fight first-round finishing streak Ruziboev carried into their May 11, 2024 kamp. Joaquin Buckley managed to win a unanimous decision against the man from Uzbekistan, so that’s the blueprint to beat him. Can Dustin Stoltzfus figure out how to use the same strategy to avoid being stopped early himself?

Ruziboev doesn’t like to go to a second round if you look at his history. The second round doesn’t typically last very long if his opponent gets there. The under 1.5 rounds option at -125 odds is very attractive for this bout. Stoltzfus has two recent losses in the first round.

What makes a flyer on the Stolzfus side intriguing is that he is also capable of earning a stoppage. Han har 8 UFC fights under his belt and is coming off a first round knockout win over Marc-Andre Barriault in his last fight. This will be Ruziboev’s 5th official UFC fight.

Stoltzfus by TKO/KO/DQ or Submission is a fat +400 på Draft Kings. To prevent Ruziboev from steamrolling over him, Stoltzfus will need to tap into his own submission and knockout skills. It’s hard to imagine this fight going the distance.

Play it safe with the moneyline or bet on the Stoltsfus upset by stoppage if you really believe Ruziboev is over-rated here. If you don’t like either side but doubt the fight will reach the final bell, bet against the fight to go the distance. That gives you -475 odds, so that’s not much juice outside of a parlay.

Ruziboev by TKO/KO/DQ or Submission is my personal suggestion here after analyzing the history of both fighters. The under 1.5 line is also one you should seriously consider if you really think Stoltzfus can potentially get a quick stoppage of his own.

Julian Erosa (31-11) is another underdog with potential on this UFC card up against Melquizael Costa (23-7) at Featherweight. Costa won two of his last three fights by submission, but Erosa has never lost by submission in a 42-fight career. A whopping 26 of Erosa’s 31 wins are via stoppage, gør hans +145 odds to win very attractive here.

Both fighters are enjoying three-fight win streaks going into this bout. Costa is the favored fighter here at -175 odds to win on Draft Kings. This is despite the fact that Erosa has much more UFC experience. Erosa finished his last three fights inside the first round with two guillotine choke submission wins (løbet Christian Rodriguez og Ricardo Ramos) and then a TKO victory over Darren Elkins his last time out.

Costa’s last win against the same Christian Rodriguez went the full distance. Common opponent MMA math isn’t always conclusive, but I think it speaks volumes here. My best bet recommendation here is to go with Erosa for the upset on the moneyline. Men, slightly better odds are available if you choose the statistically viable chance of Erosa winning by TKO/KO/DQ or Submission at +275.

If you absolutely believe Costa wins this fight, it’s a no brainer to take him winning by TKO/KO/DQ or Decision at -150 odds. Both fighters have slick submission skills, but I don’t see Costa submitting Erosa for the first time in his whole career here. Også, Erosa had two straight losses by first-round knockout before embarking on his latest three-fight finish fest. Erosa has seven of his 11 losses by knockout, so he definitely could be susceptible to Costa’s striking here.

I like Costa and think he’s a great scrapper, but I just think Erosa is on too much of a roll with the finishing moves to bet against him here. Call him my “Dog Lock of the Week.”

Letvægts Gabriel “Gifted” Grøn (11-5) comes into his UFC Fight Night 256 contest with Matheus Camilo (9-2) on a two-fight losing skid in the UFC. It seems to be a theme on this card with the UFC veteran sides of the matchups fighting the younger prospects. Camilo is making his organizational debut against a fighter who’s only been beaten by some of the best in the UFC’s Lightweight division in recent history.

It’s a little surprising to see Camilo as the favored fighter here with -230 odds to win even if you look at the Brazilian’s six-fight win streak in the feeder leagues.

Green is a +190 underdog going into his sixth UFC bout. Han er 2-3 in the UFC so far, but his losses came against Bryan Battle, Ian Garry og Daniel Rodriguez. Definitely no cheap dates on that list. Men, the downside is he’s coming off the shelf after two years of inaction while Camilo just fought last December.

Camilo’s only two losses have come by submission, and Green has 6 of them to account for most of his 11 Karriere vinder. På den anden side, Camilo has four knockout wins, and Green has been knocked out in three of his five losses. Sounds like the perfect ingredients for an Alternate Method of Victory Double Chance bet on Green by Submission or Camilo by Knockout at odds of -110. Green by Submission has a +800 price tag while Camilo by TKO/KO/DQ comes in at +140 odds.

All three times Green has been knocked out, it happened in the first round. Bryan Battle dispatched him in just 14 sekunder. A Camilo TKO/KO/DQ in Round 1 Fight Parlay nets +300 odds. This fight just has too many parameters that could make it go either way. My official recommendation on this one is avoid any bet on this bout. Let’s just find out risk-free if Green gives Camilo a UFC initiation to remember or Camilo storms into the organization with a stunning victory.

The opener of the main card is a Lightweight fight featuring Jared Gordon (20-7) vender ud mod Thiago Moises (19-8). This is setting up to be one of the closest fights on this card with Gordon stealing the favorite status with -125 odds and Moises barely an underdog with +105 odds to win.

This is honestly another fight to skip placing a bet on. The recent roadmap for both of these guys looks the same: lots of ups and downs and no way to tell definitively who has the best chance to win. Both fighters have a ton of UFC experience and anything could happen here. Watch it without a stake on the outcome and enjoy the fireworks.

UFC Fight Night 256 Apex Preliminary Card

Yadier Del Valle (8-0) versus Connor Matthews (7-3) is the featured prelim bout of the night at Featherweight. Will the third time be the charm for Matthews after dropping his first two official UFC fights? It all really depends on just how well the Cuban Del Valle does in his UFC debut.

Del Valle is a -520 favorite after winning his last two fights by decision and earning a UFC contract last October by way of Dana White’s Contender Series. You can cut those odds significantly if you bet on Del Valle to win by TKO/KO/DQ or Decision at -250 odds. Both of the back-to-back losses Matthews just suffered came by knockout. If you want more juice than that, Del Valle by decision gives you +130 odds. Since Del Valle hasn’t scored a knockout in a while, the moneyline bet or Del Valle by decision seem like the safest options here.

Tjek oddsjam to find which sportsbook is offering the best odds for this fight.

Batamweights Luana Santos (8-2) og Tainara Lisboa (7-2) square off next in a phenomenal female fight that is a matchmaker’s masterpiece. Despite the wide odds available on this fight, this one could be very close. Both women have only lost to big name fighters. Lisboa (+142 moneyline) is riding a five-fight win streak while Santos (-170 moneyline) is trying to bounce back from a unanimous decision loss to the super tough Casey O’Neill.

The only major distinction between these two fierce females is the fact that Santos has been in the UFC a bit longer and finished two of her first three fights in the octagon inside the first round. Men, four of Lisboa’s seven wins come by way of first round stoppage. If you can’t pick a side, the under 2.5 is looking promising in this bout at +200 odds. Ellers, I would suggest Santos on the moneyline based on her superior opposition and her edge in UFC experience.

Elise Reed (8-4) tager på Denise Gomes (10-3) in the third fight of the night at Straw-weight. Reed will be entering the cage as a heavy underdog at +455 odds to win on the moneyline.

Gomes seems like a more secure bet to win this bout with her -625 moneyline odds. Get a little help on this one by betting on Gomes to win by TKO/KO/DQ or Decision at -400 odds to hit.

Flyweights Hyun Sung Park (9-0) og Carlos Hernandez (10-4) set the card’s tone for new to the UFC fighters going up against more seasoned UFC talent. Park has finished every professional opponent but the first one he faced in November of 2018.

Park would be the second “Road to UFC” contestant to best Hernandez if he wins this fight. Hernandez brings a couple more UFC fights in the experience column to this scrap, but Park is a professional finisher. Two of the last three Hernandez losses came by stoppage. Park also has only made it to the third round just once since his pro debut fight.

The two safest bets for this fight seem to be Park by TKO/KO/DQ or Submission at +215, or Park on the -192 moneyline if you think Hernandez can take him the distance. If you like Hernandez to win an upset, he’s never won by knockout. So that leaves Hernandez by Submission or Decision at +150 på Draft Kings.

The Straw-weight females are at it again in the event opener with American Tecia “The Tiny Tornado” Pennington (14-7) facing Brazilian Luana Pinheiro (11-4) in a fight where Pennington is a -340 favorite on the moneyline.

Pinheiro lost her last three fights to stall a nine-fight win streak. There’s a reason she’s a +270 underdog, but only two of those nine straight wins for Pinheiro made it out of the first round. She’s definitely capable of a knockout or submission upset here. På den anden side, all seven of Pennington’s losses came by decision.

You may need to parlay the pick here to get better juice from your squeeze, but Pennington on the moneyline is the best option.

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

1 Kommentar

Ved: 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.

Odds 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 of “arbitrage betting” og “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.

Odds 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, hvilken Odds 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 Odds works, how to avoid getting limited or banned for using it, and why it’s worth the monthly or yearly subscription fees:

Odds 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 Odds. 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 Odds, 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 call “feeder leagues” like 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 Series” can 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 Kirke 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 “Buster” Douglas beating “Jern” Mike Tyson. Buster’s mother tragically died just 23 days before the fight. Douglas promised her before she died that he would beat Tyson. Som vi alle ved, 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, selv. Så, 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, Odds 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.

Home Field Advantage: Fanfavoritten Sean O'Malley Bulldozes Sterling ved UFC 292, Chris Weidmans tilbagevenden giver anledning til snak om pensionering, Catona vs. Gibson fortjener Fight of the Night…og meget mere fra UFC’s tilbagevenden til Boston i lørdags

Ved: Rich Bergeron

UFC 292 var det første UFC-event, jeg deltog i 16 år. Som den MMA-skribent, der er mest kendt for at afsløre Xyience-skandalen (se www.xyiencesucks.com), Jeg gravede min gamle Xyience-hat frem for at fejre lejligheden. Engang UFC's mest produktive sponsor, Xyience er nu primært et energidrikfirma og associerer ikke engang med nogen MMA-liga længere. Det er overflødigt at sige, Jeg var den eneste i hele arenaen med Xyience-merch.

Jeg betalte for mine egne billetter denne gang, men jeg kunne ikke undgå at tænke på, hvad min UFC 292 oplevelse ville have været ligesom hvis min UFC 78 erfaring, betalt af Xyience, var næsten blevet meget anderledes for mig 16 år siden.

Jeg vil overveje mere om den personlige historie om min egen Boston-hjemkomst og de ændringer, vi har set for UFC mellem den sidste kamp, ​​jeg deltog i, og denne i et nyt stykke, jeg planlægger at skrive på www.paythefighters.com. Hold øje med det, men lad os først komme til UFC's velkonstruerede kampkort til lørdag aften.

Det begyndte med en fortælling om to fluevægtige Silvas: Karine Silva og Natalia Silva. Disse kampe endte med to Silva-sejre på to forskellige metoder, men hver fighter viste sig at være dominerende i deres særlige stilarter. Karine sendte Maryna Moroz med en guillotinechoke i sidste sekund lige før slutningen af ​​første runde. Det var en fantastisk start på et show, der havde nogle få toppe og dale, hvad angår underholdningsværdien af ​​nogle af match-ups. Natalia tog sig god tid og valgte et spil Andrea Lee på afstand i størstedelen af ​​konkurrencen. Hun nåede frem til en enstemmig beslutning ved at være forsigtig og forsigtig med sit slående mål.

Næste, en kontroversiel delt beslutning gav oddsmagernes favoritkæmper Andre Petrovski en sejr over Gerald Meershaert. Petrovski så ikke ud til at have cardio til at hænge sammen med den garvede veteran Meerschaert. Alt, der manglede i denne kamp, ​​var den koncentrerede slagkraft fra Meershaert til at slå Petrovski ned og ud. Begge kæmpere havde deres øjeblikke, men det forekom indlysende for mig, at Gerald var den travlere og mere effektive fighter. Han var kun et af de røveri, som dommerne anklagede lørdag aften efter klart at have vundet en primært teknisk kamp. De strejf af slugfest drysset ind fra tid til anden syntes altid at favorisere den mere vildt og ivrige Meerschaert. Han fortjente bestemt sejren. Vi taler om et andet røveri af samme kaliber lidt senere.

Et par Ultimate Fighter Finale-kampe kom dernæst, hvor bantamvægterne Brad Katona og Cody Gibson sparkede det i gang ved at opnå "Fight of the Night"-hæder.. Deres tå-til-tå kickboksekamp, ​​der sjældent ramte jorden i særlig lang tid, fik helt sikkert tilskuerne ophidset fra start til slut. Katona endte med at være et sekund hurtigere på remisen og skarp nok med sine stik og kontra til at sikre sig en sejr i et scrap, hvor han ofte skulle tage et godt slag for at lande to af sine egne. Gibson bar resultaterne af Brads nøjagtighed på sit voldsramte ansigt ved den sidste klokke, men han fik også stor respekt for sin aldrig-afsluttede tilgang fra både mængden og organisationen. UFC tilbød begge kæmpere kontrakter for deres indsats i stedet for, at kun vinderen fik nikk.

Kurt Holobaugh måtte kæmpe mod ven og kollega Team Chandler-fighter Austin Hubbard i letvægtsfinalen. Det var en kamp, ​​der startede bedre for Hubbard, end den sluttede. Til sidst efter en kort følelsesproces, Holobaugh tog momentum væk og sikrede sig en fænomenal Triangle Choke netop 2:39 i den anden ramme. Begge kæmpere havde deres dominerende øjeblikke, men det var Holobaughs sorte bælte jiu jitsu færdigheder, der vandt natten og TUF trofæet.

Gregory Rodrigues sønderrev absolut russiske Dennis Tiuliulin i en mellemvægtskamp, ​​der fik Beantown-publikummet til at råbe "USA", mens de rodede efter en brasiliansk fighter. "Robocop" nød publikums opbakning og nød hurtigt deres jubel med sine færdigheder i fuld udfoldelse. Rodrigues ligner tilfældigvis lidt hovedpersonen i Netflix' "The Lincoln Lawyer".,” hvis karakteren bulkede op efter et par runder med steroider. Rodrigues fastlagde bestemt loven og stødte russeren til bevidstløshed med en maskinagtig præcision. Han tog kun et minut og 43 sekunder for at give publikum deres sidste stop indtil hovedbegivenheden.

Fem lige beslutninger fulgte, to af dem afgjorde ved perfekt placering af monstrøse benspark fra sejrherrerne. Den mest smertefulde af disse to kampe at se var Chris Weidman, der afsluttede de indledende kampe ved at møde Brad Tavares i en straffende mellemvægtskamp. Weidman, kommer tilbage fra en ond gummikyllingelårskade, hvor han forsøgte at plante på et fuldstændig brækket ben mod Uriah Hall, så rusten ud som rusten kan være. Hver takedown, han forsøgte, så ud til at blive fyldt let af Tavares.

Hver stanseudveksling syntes at være for lidt, for sent for Weidman at komme tilbage fra de konstante benspark, der peber på både benet med den gamle skade og Weidmans andet ben for en god ordens skyld. Selv med en revet MCL eller ACL (ifølge Dana White, der tvang Weidman til at trække sig efter kampen), Weidman forfulgte Tavares rundt i buret og gjorde sit bedste for at tage kampen til ham trods det ødelagte hjul. Tavares vandt en meget strategisk og smart kamp, skuffende hele pro-Weidman-publikummet, der håbede på det mirakel-comeback, der aldrig kom.

Marlon "Chito" Vera og Pedro Munhoz åbnede hovedkortet med en ensidig affære, der viste Veras tålmodighed, slående skarpsindighed, og næsten fejlfri teknik. Munhoz afsluttede kampen på sine fødder, men han udholdt masser af ansigtsskader derhen. Chito forblev på et sikkert område i størstedelen af ​​kampen og tog få risici på vejen til sin enstemmige beslutningssejr. Rækkevidden og hastigheden af ​​Vera syntes at være de mest effektive fordele, han nød mod den kortere og mere solide Munhoz. Vera, hvor kedelig han til tider kan være at se på, bevist, at han fortjener sit eget bantamvægt-titelskud.

Den tredje beslutning i træk gav Mario Bautista en meget kontroversiel enstemmig beslutningssejr over Da'Mon Blackshear. Bautista slog Blackshear ud med hensyn til jordkontrol, men Blackshear var mere præcis i sit slag og landede mere betydningsfulde strejker i fjervægtskrotet. Jeg troede bestemt, at han gjorde nok for at vinde, men dommerne så ikke kampen på samme måde og gav konkurrencen til Bautista.

Ian Garry og Neil Magny stødte sammen i en umatchet weltervægtskonkurrence. Magny viste et enormt hjerte ved at rejse sig igen efter hver knockdown, men han kunne ikke overvinde de uophørlige benspark, som Garry kastede. Dommer Keith Peterson var tæt på at stoppe kampen et par gange, men Magny blev ved med at gøre lige nok for at holde det i gang, hopper rundt på et ben til tider. Garrys angreb var lige så on point som hans trash talk-spil, fremkalder Nate Diaz' ​​ånd med et par veltimede håndbevægelser. Publikum fejrede hans fortsatte dominans med Garry, der fortalte dem om sit ønske om at være den bedste fighter på jorden en dag i sin post-fight-tale. Magny bliver nødt til at finde et svar på sine seneste kampe, hvis han vil forblive relevant i UFC.

Weili Zhang og Amanda Lemos klarede sig næste gang i en episk titelkamp. Lemos sikrede sig næsten et par mirakuløse indsendelsesforsøg, men strawweight titelkampen blev til et spørgsmål om, hvorvidt Lemos kunne overleve indtil den sidste klokke. Zhang viste sine talenter inden for alle sine ekspertiseområder, og Lemos kunne kun håbe på at vinde ved hjælp af et par Hail Mary-indsendelsesforsøg, som Zhang vred sig ud af. Zhangs hastighed, kraft og holdbarhed overvældede Lemos og fik hende til at kæmpe for at undgå et stop gennem store dele af de senere runder. På en eller anden måde lykkedes det hende at gøre det, tager en enorm skade på sin vej. Zhang gik væk og beholdt sin titel, til stor glæde for fans, der støttede hende gennem hele kampen.

Endelig, hovedbegivenheden ankom, godt efter midnat. Sean O'Malley kom først ind i arenaen, og folkemængden brød ud. Mange af dem havde grønne eller lyserøde parykker for at efterligne O'Malleys signaturlook. O'Malley så ærligt talt ret forstenet ud, som om han slet ikke sov natten før begivenheden. Aljamain Sterling gik ind i buret til et kor af buh, han forsøgte at gøre let af ved at ægge publikum til at bue ham mere.

Den første runde var for det meste et udstillingsvindue af fodarbejde fra begge kæmpere. O'Malleys hovedspil kunne have fungeret på Sterling, fordi han lovede i pre-fight interviews, at han ville sikre sig sin egen første runde TKO. I stedet for at stole på hans største styrke, hans brydning, Sterling ønskede at slå O'Malley i sit eget spil. Det viste sig at være den forkerte strategi, en kendsgerning, som Sterling til sidst indså, da han endte på den forkerte side af den TKO. Der var sparsomme forsøg på at tage O'Malley ned, og dem alle var helt fyldte. Sterling foldede og faldt til lærredet efter at være blevet ramt med et O'Malley-kontraslag tidligt i anden runde. Resten var historie, da O'Malley lukkede "the Suga show" med noget McGregor-agtigt land og pund.

Begge kæmpere holdt flotte post-fight-taler, tro mod form. Sterling var elskværdig i nederlaget og viste sin respekt for O'Malley, der stræbte efter at nå sin drøm. I betragtning af at Sterling kritiserede O'Malley før kampen for at være Dana Whites kæledyrsprojekt og ikke fortjener et titelskud, det var en kæmpe mea culpa. Også, hvis det virkelig handlede om at blive begunstiget af Mr. White, O'Malley kunne have sat kryds ved Baldfather ved at indikere, at han gerne vil kæmpe mod bokseren Gervonta Davis mere end nogen anden faktisk UFC-kæmper.

Som kun den anden Dana White Contender Series-kæmper, der vinder en verdenstitel, O'Malley kan bestemt kalde sine egne skud til en vis grad, men en boksning crossover er et meget følsomt emne i kølvandet på, at Francis Ngannou for nylig har bølget til at trække sig ud af sin UFC-kontrakt og tilmelde sig en sværvægtsboksekamp med Tyson Fury, der vil formørke hans karriere-UFC-indtjening med en kilometer. Kun Conor McGregor har været i stand til at overbevise UFC-messing om at gå all in i en crossover-kamp i boksning indtil videre. Dana White har siden fuldstændig skrottet foreløbige planer om at skabe "Zuffa Boxing" for at redegøre for hans kæmpere, der ønsker at efterligne McGregors profil, økonomisk track record og modig bravader, der gav ham muligheden for at kæmpe mod Floyd Mayweather i en udstillingskamp.

Tit, at få Dana Whites opmærksomhed og respekt, kæmpere er simpelthen nødt til at sælge sig selv nok til, at det kan udmønte sig i massivt merchandise og billetsalg genereret af deres buzz. Meget ligesom WWE, store personligheder og farverige karakterer vinder ofte muligheder i UFC over atleter, der kun koncentrerer sig om deres fysiske færdigheder. Angribere er særligt begunstigede, fordi de lever op til UFC's underforståede "put on a show" standard for excellence, der pålægges hver fighter, der træder ind i buret. Det er en ledelsesstil og ledelse af gulerod og pind, der narrer kæmpere til at tro, at det er bedre for deres karrierer konstant at træde frem med ringe bekymring for forsvar og tage enorme risici for at være meget mere spændende og underholdende, end de behøver for at vinde en bestemt kamp.

Nu indrømmer denne knægt O'Malley at ville være som Dana selv, komfortabel nok økonomisk til at satse $250,000 per pokerhånd. Det mest specielle talent før O'Malley brugte sin egen rising star persona til at bygge sine egne navnemærker og købe sit eget whiskyfirma. Han har en yacht og en Lamborghini, og han er stadig den mest omtalte og udråbte fighter i organisationen, selv efter at have tabt sådan en ensidig kamp med Dustin Poirier og været sat på sidelinjen med et brækket ben i et par år. Det faktum, at O'Malley kan indse og internalisere, at han nok aldrig vil komme op på Conors niveau uden en kæmpe crossover-kamp i boksning, siger meget om, hvor UFC er i dag.

Det er den form for udvikling, jeg er nødt til at grine over at vide, hvor svært det har været at bringe alle fighterløn- og kontraktspørgsmål for retten uden en hær af advokater til at møde UFC's formidable juridiske team. En sådan juridisk hær sikrede sig for nylig tilladelse til at anlægge et gruppesøgsmål på vegne af over 1,200 tidligere UFC-kæmpere. Dommeren i sagen ser ud til allerede at stå på sagsøgernes side. Reaktion på UFC-certificering af gruppesøgsmål: Hvad skete der, og hvad er det næste? (msn.com)

Hver gang organisationen bliver konfronteret med statistikker, der viser, at indtægtsandelen for kæmpere er minimal sammenlignet med andre store sportsgrene med spillerforeninger, responsen er typisk noget til følge: »Vi har fået så mange millionærer. Vores kæmpere har det fint, og de får alle masser af økonomiske muligheder med den berømmelse, vi har hjulpet dem med at opnå.”

Som ekspert i UFCs økonomiske historie og publikumsmedlem hos UFC 292, Jeg kunne ikke undgå at konfrontere den virkelighed, at så mange "UFC Nut-krammer"-journalister får alle frynsefordele ved presseprivilegier, fordi de spiller så godt sammen med den "Zuffa Myth"-mentalitet. De folk, der sætter UFC på kortet, forfører subliminalt deres tilhængere med adgang og løfter om berømmelse og muligheder, og både kæmpere og mediemedlemmer bliver suget ind i den slags ledelsesteatrik. På tur, du ender ikke med meget undersøgende rapportering i MMA-mediekredse, og kæmpere, der stiller mange spørgsmål og kræver bedre kontraktforhold, bliver ikke genunderskrevet eller sat op med prime fight match-ups.

Det tog hovedbegivenhedsresultatet for virkelig at afklare spørgsmålet for mig om, hvordan UFC konstant holder fokus på deres formodede evne til at skabe superstjerner blot ved at lade en fighter underskrive en kontrakt med organisationen. Nogle, der er enige i, at det er tilfældet, vil sige, at det var organisationens evne til at se nok talent i O'Malley til at sætte ham på Dana White's Contender Series, der førte til den spektakulære fremgang til berømmelse som den nye champs ridning. Bestemt, O'Malley ville ikke engang have været i Boston lørdag aften, hvis han aldrig kom ind i organisationen. Men, der har været masser af DWCS-krigere, der ikke fik flere UFC-muligheder, fordi de tabte den entry-level kamp. O'Malley var nødt til at vinde og blive ved med at vinde for at være, hvor han var lørdag aften.

Pointen er: Sean O'Malleys kultfølge og enorme selvtillid er et resultat af hans eget personlige korstog for at være en speciel person med ubegrænset potentiale og fantastisk talent. Han ville aldrig selv være med i samtalen om en titel, hvis han ikke lagde alle de utallige timer i gymnastiksalen i stræben efter at blive bedre. UFC skabte ikke Sean O'Malley, de gav ham bare en platform til at vise, hvilken slags fighter han kunne være. Og mens han nyder superstjernen, som UFC vil kreditere sig selv for, O'Malley skal vide, at den eneste måde, han kan maksimere sit indtjeningspotentiale på, er at formørke selve organisationen. Han er nødt til at gå ud over deres restriktive økonomiske grænser til en sport, hvor indtægtsandelen er så meget bedre, og en fyr som Francis Ngannou kan tjene mere i én kamp, ​​end han gjorde i hele sin UFC-karriere.

Så, Hvis Dana White virkelig gjorde Sean O'Malley til sit kæledyrsprojekt, som Aljamain Sterling foreslog, han gjorde et godt stykke arbejde. Desværre, det monster, han skabte, kan komme tilbage for at bide ham i det lange løb. Et andet UFC co-promoveret boksekort vil få for mange af deres ansatte til at prøve at tage den samme vej og undre sig over, hvorfor Danas lille kammerat får alle pauserne og fordelene. Veteraner og nytilkomne vil sandsynligvis begge se på enhver hyped Davis vs. O'Malley boksekamp som en indrømmelse fra deres ledelse, at UFC ikke kan betale deres kæmpere nok til at holde dem i buret.

"Barn, du har ingen idé om, hvor mange penge du vil tjene,” sagde Dana White til O'Malley efter sejren ifølge et nyligt O'Malley-interview. Jeg forestiller mig i hans hoved, Dana afsluttede den tanke med “os.”
