#dillashaw cejudo

[theanticool]

If aldo were to continue at BW could you see him beating top contenders like before? I feel like even now he could beat guys like Vera (again), Cejudo, Figgy, yadong, and cruz. not sure he could beat the top 3 or O'Malley but I wouldn't be opposed to him fighting the names mentioned. What do you think?

I think Aldo wanted a big money fight in boxing and only came back when he realized the UFC was going to make him honor his contract. Like Jorge Masvidal. If he is actually out of his contract, I think he'll leave. If the UFC matches though, I can't imagine we're getting anything other than Aldo on the senior circuit. Former champs who are past it but have name value (also Vera).

For guys like Cruz, Garbrandt, and Figs. TJ Dillashaw if he plans on coming back. I think Aldo is the clear favorite in those fights as while he has declined, he's still probably the sharpest out the bunch with a wide enough game that he can take away elements of everyone else's game that are still functional (Garbrandt's speed, Cruz's movement, etc). Cejudo is a tougher match up cause I don't think he's actually super past it. At least not in a way that Aldo can take advantage of - he's not doing what Merab did for instance. Vera would be a rematch and he's only gotten more conservative since their first fight. He only starts slower. In a 3 round fight, Aldo seems the clear favorite.

As for real contenders, I think that boat has mostly sailed. Yadong would give Aldo the fight he wants but I'm worried his athleticism and power would overwhelm Aldo. I don't need to see Aldo against Sandhagen. That seems cruel. I think Umar can repeat aspects of what Merab did for 15 minutes.

Fringe guys? Mario Bautista, Kyler Phillips, Ricky Simon, etc? Could Aldo beat them, maybe? But are those the fights you give Aldo? I get they just matched him with Martinez but that's because 301 was a terrible card on paper and Cruz wasn't available.

I could also just be underselling Aldo's chances because USADA is gone and all of a sudden these 40 year old fighters that were falling apart at the seems (OSP, Weidman, etc) are picking up wins.

Sterling vs Cejudo :) (How to Bet, How to Watch)

O​nce upon a time there was a man, a victorious man, who rarely lost. Some claimed he was the greatest, others dubbed him overrated, but gold is gold, and his resume speaks for itself. Henry Cejudo is an Olympic Gold Medalist, and a two division UFC Champion, who's resume is littered with a who's who of world-class talent. With a win over 'Mighty Mouse' Demetrious Johnson, a TKO of Tj Dillashaw, a victory over Marlon Moraes, and a dismantling of Bantamweight G.O.A.T Dominick Cruz, he retired. With two belts, and the feeling of a job well done. In the meantime..

P​eter 'No Mercy' Yan beat Jose Aldo for the vacated belt, while Aljamain Sterling beat Cory Sandhagen in a #1 Contender's match, which set up a paradigm shifting encounter between Yan and Sterling in an empty Jacksonville arena. What then ensued is one of the most infamous moments in UFC history.

T​he bell rings, Sterling comes out strong, mixing up his attacks, confusing Yan, and dictating the pace. Yan patient, counterpunches, knocks down Sterling, and maintains his composure in a round that did not start his way. Sterling, maybe due to nerves, starts to tire out, Yan smells blood. Yan begins to proggressively dismantle Sterling, as Sterling gets more and more and tired, and Yan more and more emboldened. The 4th round starts, and the rest of the fight seems like a mere formality, until.. Sterling is grounded, with his knees on the floor, and Yan throws a variation of a soccer kick, with his knee, and nails Aljamain in the head, which is illegal. Sterling, already gassed, and losing, rolls around, clearly not wanting to return to the fight, and after a couple minutes, and a bit of showmanship on Sterling's part, the fight is called. Aljamain Sterling is the UFC Bantamweight Champion, winning by DQ. Mad.

T​he time come's for this wrong to be righted in the universe, Yan get's a rematch, and opens as a -450 favorite. Aljamain comes out, as the Champion, and fights a much smarter, more composed fight. R1 was contested, but Sterling clearly won rounds 2, and 3, and Yan won 4, and 5. The judges give the controversial decision to the champion, now 2-0 against his Russian nemasis, and still the UFC Bantamweight Champ. Aljo then gets a test against Dillashaw, who comes in with a hurt shoulder, he dispatches him in two rounds, and still relatively unproven as a Champion gets the biggest test of his career, the career winner Henry Cejudo.

S​o what happens? Does Cejudo come off a 3 year layoff, and smoke this young champion, who seems to get better everytime he fight? Yes, early ,and here are some picks.

M​y lock is 'Cejudo inside the distance at -125' for a couple reasons. If the fight goes the distance it's a push (your money is returned), regardless of who wins. Aljo isn't known to stop people, he has, what we in MMA call, pillow hands, and if he were to stop Cejudo, the only way he has stopped people reliably has been by rear-naked choke, and there is no chance he takes Henry's back. If Aljo wins, it's because of youth and athletiscm, and it's in a decision. When Henry wins, it's inside the distance, by TKO.

H​enry has stopped Marlon Moraes, TJ Dillashaw, and Dominick Cruz, all in his last 3 fights, and all in the first 2 rounds. Aljo is argueably the most aggressive of the bunch, and is going to look to put a pace on Cejudo, Cejudo is better everywhere, he'll pop him, stuff a takedown, chop his legs, and pit him out. 'Cejudo in 1,2, or 3' is +450, take it and run my friends.

L​ast but not least is my big money one, 'Cejudo by TKO in R3' at +1600. If I had to choose a specific scenario to happen, it would be this. Aljo is learning, I don't think he's going to run at Cejudo. Cejudo does a nice job of controlling the center of the octagon, he's most likely going to dictate the pace of the fight. Aljo's awkwardness is where he's going to try to level the playing field, but it won't be enough. Cejudo's going to come in, chop the legs, tire him out, and make him panic. I see Aljo starting to frustrate at the end of the second, and Cejudo catching him towards the beginning, or middle of the third. Cejudo by TKO in the 3rd, make some money my friends.

T​his card is stacked though, and although I don't think any of these other fights need that comprehensive of a breakdown, there are some picks I really like. Jessica Andrade to win at -180 is a good price for one of the best girls in the world. Andrade is a former World Champion, and doesn't look any slower, she should win this one pretty easily, and Gilbert Burns to win at -145. Belal is good, but watch the Leon fight, there are levels, and as good as he is, he isn't great. Burns is, and he's going to make a statement in this fight, take it and run my people, take it and run.

MMA GOATS - Blog 4

Stepping into the 8th tier of my MMA goats list, at this point and from now on,  the list is going to introduce more and more newer fighters who are still currently fighting and or champions because personally, I think the newer fighters are better, showing more skill and technique that the older fighters (and because I’m currently watching them and can better grasp their greatness). With that said, the two fighters that made it onto the 8th tier of my MMA goat list are both still in the bantamweight division, ranked and still active (for the most part) in the sport, one of the most intriguing division in my opinion because of how many fighters I like who are currently fighting.

Henry Cejudo 

The first listed in this tier is the controversial “Triple C” or “The Messenger” Henry Cejudo, a fighter who was an olympic gold medalist for freestyle wrestling and a double champion, but became and obtained the belts in a way that's extremely disputable and controversial. I’m on the side that he didn’t exactly earn his belts in the ways some other fighters did, and plus I’m not a fan of his “know it all” personally, I find it kind of annoying at times.

Henry was born in LA, California to Mexican immigrants and was raised in harsh conditions of a violent father in and out of jail who was deported and constantly living in poverty, only at the age of 6. But like many others, used fighting as a way out, specifically boxing and wrestling until he reached MMA within the ufc in 2013. When he first stepped into the octagon, Henry began like any other future world champ, amassing win after win and only two losses before the first controversial fight with Demetrius Johnson where he won by split decisions. His title defense against a weakened T.J Dillashaw, becoming double against a declining Marlon Moraes. I'm not saying he didn’t go through war fighting his opponents and making a name for himself despite his tragic upbringing, but his fights seemed to be unequal to others higher on this list. And after his return loss against Aljamain Sterling, it seems time is starting to catch up with Henry, all though he is still active with a possible fight next year. Overall, I can’t look past his double champion title, olympic gold metal, winstreaks and domination, and that's the reason he’s above all the other fighters, but I can’t see myself putting him higher on the list or even on the tier because of his “easy” (ish) rise when compared to the dominance, sacrifice and pain that the others on my goat MMA list endured. And that's the truth for this next fighter on the 8th tier.

“Sugar” Sean O’Malley

In my opinion, the most entertaining and spotless fighter to ever hit the scene in the bantamweight division, Suga Sean, if not for his cocky manner and spectacle-like fights he puts on. Even having him on this list is controversial because of the short amount of time he has spent in the sport, only being 29 years old and debuting back in late 2017. But it's for those reasons I'm placing him here and possibly in the future, higher up in the list.

To start off, Sean O’Malley was born on october 20, 1994 in Montana, blessed with freak athletic genetics that made him stand out to his coaches and friends all throughout his early life. But at the age of 16, he decided he wanted to start training in all sorts of styles where he eventually met his coach and close friend Tim Welsh. Then, like other great talents he started making noise and got into the octagon in 2015 amassing 7 wins and no losses in his professional MMA career, later getting put on the scene and signing a deal with the UFC after a KO win in Dana White's contender series. This marked his debut to greatness, already starting off flawless. Through the last 6 years, he has climbed his way to the top, becoming the bantamweight champion this year after beating Aljamain Sterling, and beating Petr Yan right before that. And looking at his only loss, which was because of a one in a million chance when Marlon Vera kicked a nerve in his leg and gave him drop foot, disabling his leg for the rest of the fight he was dominating, he’s been undefeated his entire career. You could say Vera won that fight fair, but I think he didn’t because he never proves his skills are better than O’Malley.

Now, I know he isn’t even in his prime but because of that loss that I see as a technical zero on his record, because of how he has dominated all the other fighters in the division and because of the time it took him, I think he has a real future of becoming the best bantamweight to ever do it (as long as he continues this at pace). Sean is an entertainer at the end of the day, so even if he doesn’t go any further, I’m going to always tune in to his fights and listen to what he has to say because I find him entertaining.

Aljamain Sterling’s title reign has been hilarious.

It starts because Petr Yan doesn’t know the rules to the sport and decided to just knee the crap out of Aljo when he was grounded.

It continued with Yan, one of the most adaptable fighters in MMA, being incapable of listening to his corner and stop turning his back on Aljo’s takedown attempts. He ends up losing a fight where he won all the standup because he got his back taken 3 times.

Then Sterling gets another tough match up on paper in TJ Dillashaw and TJ shows up with an arm that isn’t attached to his body.

Now he’s facing a Henry Cejudo who hasn’t fought in 3 years.

I’m curious what stupid shenanigans may carry him to a win on Saturday.

[riccardoflower-blog]

Unlike how we can think even the MMA that seem a hard and violent sport have a regulation, a set of rules established by the athletic committee that must be respected in favor of sport, technology and non-violence, in fact the MMA are not only violence as an end in itself but a show composed of tactics, mutual respect and honorable.

The general rules for a meeting are

-The duration of the match consists of 3 normal rounds and 5 for the titled matches, lasting 5 min each round separated by 1 minute of recovery.

-The fighter will have to wear only shorts approved by the athletic commission, they will not be able to wear shoes, T-shirts or other clothes besides shorts, and obviously every fighter needs a mouthguard that is also approved by the athletic committee.

There are also some prohibitions to be respected during the match such as,

-To spit

-Put the fingers in the eyes

- Kneel from top to bottom

- Kneel and kick your head when your opponent is on the ground

- Any blow to the back of the head

-Check

There are various ways to win a match, especially if at the end of the 3 or 5 rounds all the fighter are still standing the victory verdict will be decided by the 3 judges who will award a maximum of 10 points per round to each fighter for each round finish the meeting with a winner by unanimous victory, split decision or draw.

Other ways to end the match are the KO or when the opponent can no longer fight or defend himself in an intelligent manner according to the referee, or TKO, the technical KO, when one of the doctors decides that the fighter can not continue the meeting.The last way is submission or to make a grip to the opponent making it surrender and then subjugate.

Whether to make a better show or to give a proper challenge to the fighters, the latter are divided into weight classes that vary depending on the weight in

Flyweight (53Kg-116lb)

Bantamweight (58Kg-126lb)

Featherweight (62Kg-136lb)

Lightweight (67KG-146lb)

Welterweight (71kg-156lb)

Middleweight (171lb-78Kg)

LightHeavyweight (85Kg-186lb)

Heavyweight (94kg-206lb)

And each of these categories has a champion with a belt that identifies him and has to defend other fighters who will want this belt and this nomination.

For women there are only two weight classes and they can not fight males.
