    Negli ultimi ranking di vari siti che ho visto Werdum non c'è mai nella Top 10 invece.

    Anzi, ora ho visto e c'è in qualcuna, ma oltre il 9°-10° posto non va.





    C'è dopo la vittoria con Silva, prima appariva di radissimo, vista la discontinuità degli ultimi anni.

    Marshall Zelaznik: UFC 105 is set to reach 400 million homes worldwide

    UK UFC President, Marshall Zelaznik has revealed UFC 105 has a potential television audience of over 400 million homes come Saturday night and could be one of the most watched events in the promotions history.

    Speaking at today’s press conference in Manchester, Zelaznik said:

    “UFC 105 has exceeded our expectations. It's already sold more tickets, generated more revenue than UFC 70. I couldn’t be happier with where we are in terms of our growth over the last two-and-a-half years.”

    “The fight will be seen in over 50 countries and territories live. It will eventually be seen in 130 countries and territories and be available to 400 million homes around the world.”

    “I think this is a testament to how big this sport is getting and how international it is.”

    The event is set to feature UFC “Hall of Famer” Randy Couture in the main event as he looks to take on top rated Muay Thai specialist, Brandon Vera. Three past “Ultimate Fighter” winners are also on the card including season three winner, Michael “The Count” Bisping.

    Mamma mia è impressionante se ci si ferma un attimo a riflettere sopra....a mio avviso le parole di White in un qualche video che avevo visto di recente sono perfette per descrivere il fenomeno MMA, cito più o meno:

    "If in a park you have a basketball game, a football game, a baseball game, hell even a soccer game, and then down there in a corner you got two guys beatin the hell out of each other, guess what everyone will turn to. Let me help you, it doesnt involve a fucking ball."






    Tra l'altro auguri UFC, se non era per Cavax non ne avrei avuto idea. (E chissà che quel 17 non sia un po causa della sfortuna di quest'annata [SM=x54481] ?

    Ai ranking in effetti non ci bado molto, a stento li leggo e sicuramente non me li ricordo tutti a memoria, anche perché ogni sito ne ha uno e lo aggiorna ogni ppv... Però in 4-5 anni che seguo le MMA sono in poche le persone con cui ho scambiato un'opinione che non vedevano Fabricio Werdum come un top fighter.
    Comunque forse il discorso livello heavy fuori e in UFC forse ha stancato e conviene cambiare disco.

    UFC 105 ad esempio è un po' snobbata ma mi da l'idea che sarà un bello spettacolo, sono proprio curioso di vedere se Hardy e Switch sapranno offrire un match tale da togliere qualche dubbio sulla loro leggimità al ruolo di semi-first contenders. Couture e Vera si giocano tantissimo ma a mio avviso il semi-draw tra Rua e Machida negherà una title shot al vincente, che ci sarebbe potuta stare principalmente per ragioni di tempismo.

    UFC 105 snobbata ma e' anche normale, e' su Spike e va bene come card per quello, pero' dovendo essere sinceri mi interessano solo Couture vs. Vera e Hardy vs. Swick che in un PPV normale non sarebbero assolutamente da main-event (e neanche da co, forse Couture vs. Vera, ma solo perche' il pur bravo per la sua eta' ma sempre "coccolo di Dana" Randy).

    Minowa vs. Sokoudjou "Super Hulk" finale set; WVR's NYE show scrapped?

    The long-expected "Super Hulk" finale between Ikuhisa "Minowaman" Minowa (43-30-8) and Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou (7-5), as well as a K-1 bout between Masato Kobayashi (54-6-2) and fellow two-time K-1 World MAX champion Andy Souwer (134-8), were today official announced for the Dec. 31 DREAM/FEG's Dynamite!! 2009 event.

    The event is slated for Dec. 31 at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan, and airs in North America on HDNet.

    The show features a hybrid MMA/K-1 card with some of the biggest names in combat sports.

    The open-weight, eight-man "Super Hulk" commenced earlier this year with a variety of competitors, ranging from the undersized (Gegard Mousasi) to the oversized (Hong Man Choi) to the absurd (Jose Canseco). Ultimately, after Mousasi was forced out of the tournament with an injury in the second round, Sokoudjou defeated replacement Bob Sapp and Minowa subbed Choi to set up the finale.

    The latest official card now includes:

    * Masato vs. Andy Souwer (K-1)
    * Ikuhisa Minowa vs. Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou (MMA/"Super Hulk" finale)
    * Hiroya vs. Japan Masaaki Noiri (K-1 KOSHIEN semifinal)
    * Katsuki Ishida vs. Shota Shimada (K-1 KOSHIEN semifinal)

    For the latest on "Dynamite!! 2009," check out the MMA Rumors section of MMAjunkie.com.

    * * * *

    One other New Year's Eve event appears it won't take place.

    World Victory Road, Japan's other major organization, planned to host a Dec. 31 show with Satoshi Ishii vs. Hidehiko Yoshida, among other bouts.

    However, a key press conference for the show planned for today was canceled.

    WVR had announced 10 competitors for its planned show, including lightweight champion Mizuto Hirota, though the organization struggled to find a broadcast outlet for the event.

    According to a variety of reports, including one from Tokyo Sports, WVR may combine its show with DREAM's event for a co-promoted Dec. 31 show.

    Ecco i dettagli del contratto di Fedor con Affliction, resi pubblici nel corso dell'ultima udienza nella causa tra M1 ed appunto Affliction





    The Promotional Agreement. (Fedor-Affliction)

    --Fedor is to be paid a $300,000 purse per fight.

    --The contract arranges for four first class tickets and three coach tickets from St. Petersburg to wherever the fight is. It also arranges for four first class hotel rooms for up to five nights, round trip transportation on the ground, and meal allowances. This section is more extravagant than equivalent UFC contract provisions for its top stars.

    -- The contract calls for three fights under the Affliction banner, and makes Affliction the exclusive home of Fedor fights in the United States. However, the contract states that any fight between Fedor Emelianenko and Randy Couture is excluded from the contract and can take place elsewhere. It's clear that when this contract was signed Fedor and M-1 were still shopping around a potential Couture fight incase he ever got out of his contract. This also further confirms that Affliction never had the rights to this fight.

    --The contract states that it ends on the earlier of two dates: March 31, 2009 or after Fedor's last fight, unless the contract is extended. This will be a serious litigation battleground; M-1 will argue that Affliction extended the contract by promoting a third show. I find this argument fairly convincing.

    --Affliction agreed to make all efforts to feature a M-1 logo on the mat. Fedor was allowed to choose any sponsor as long as there was no conflict with Affliction.

    --Fedor Emelinaenko reserved all rights to distribute and exploit his bouts in Russia and Asia. He had the right to retain all revenue from the sale, license, or any other exploitation of his reserved rights to market the broadcast. There are other specifics regarding Affliction's responsibility to provide Fedor and M-1 with a high definition feed. The rights include streaming rights, and extend beyond Fedor's fights to the undercard and preliminary fights. You can imagine the UFC would never agree to such a term.





    The Consulting Agreement
    (Affliction-M1)

    --M-1 was to provide consulting on all the following topics: International bout consulting, international television, fighter scouting, location for future bouts recommendations, television-related opportunities, international sponsorships, and bout tourism.

    --M-1 was also required to fully cooperate and assist in the advertising and promotion of each fight.

    --In exchange for these consulting services, Affliction agreed to pay M-1 a consulting fee of $1,200,000 per fight.

    --Affliction was required to promote the M-1 Global brand through promotional activities including: Articles in event programs, M-1 Global's logo incorporated into Affliction advertising, M-1 logo recognition with event advertising, public address announcements during the bouts, the airing of M-1 videos announcements during events, and the creation and sale of co-branded M-1 and Affliction event posters.



    I believe there is still one more consulting agreement out there based on my reading of M-1's lawsuit, but Affliction did not disclose it here. Just counting these two agreements, Fedor Emelianenko received $300,000 per fight while M-1 Global received 1.2 million. Fedor Emelianenko is a 20% owner of M-1 Global.

    UFC 108 - Sean Sherk vs. Rafael Oliveira in the works for Las Vegas

    A lightweight contest between former champion, Sean Sherk and dangerous Brazilian, Rafael Oliveira is in the works for UFC 108 on January 2nd in Las Vegas, Nevada.

    According to a report by Wisconsin Combat Sports both men have verbally agreed to the contest with bout agreements set to be issued in the coming days.

    Sherk has had an up and down couple of years in the MMA world following his suspension for steroids. He returned to action to fight B.J. Penn for the lightweight title and was systematically picked apart before turning the tables just a few months later to defeat rising star, Tyson Griffin. His last fight was in May at UFC 08 when Frankie Edgar used his crisp stand-up to defeat the “Muscle Shark”.

    Oliveira had been on a three fight winning streak when he entered the octagon for the first time in September at UFC 103, but it was Nik Lentz who defeated the Brazilian, gutting it out for a unanimous decision.

    Shane Carwin horrified for the 500 friends who bought UFC 106 tickets

    UFC heavyweight number one contender, Shane Carwin has spoken of his horror at finding out that his title fight with Brock Lesnar had been postponed at UFC 106 and having to break the stomach wrenching news to the 500 friends and family from his local area had purchased tickets for the event.

    Speaking to ProMMARadio.com, Carwin said:

    “I was just kind of horrified that (Brock Lesnar) would even get in the face of the opponent he had just beaten (at UFC 100). It was totally disrespectful to Frank, and that’s the part that just started it all off. You know, one of the first things you learn when you walk into any mixed martial arts gym or dojo is respect and discipline, and especially for your opponents and your training partners. So that was the first thing that teed it off, and, you know, the flipping off of the crowd. You know, that was another thing. They can boo or whatever. You know I got booed when I was in England, heavily, and you can turn those boos into cheers with some simple comments. And then, you know, the part about getting on top of his wife and stuff.”

    “You know, that kind of horrified me, too, just because I have a ton of respect for my wife and my family, and they always come first. And, you know, I would never make remarks like that. There’s a lot of people that are upset that 106 isn’t happening. That was one of my immediate reactions, you know, when I found out from the media guy. He asked me what my reaction to it was. I told him my heart had sank and I told him I felt bad for all my family and friends that were planning on attending the fight. Just in this local area, from the town I am (from), there were about 500 people going.”

    The fight had been rescheduled for two months later at UFC 108 but Lesnar once again threw a spanner in the works and pulled out claiming he wouldn’t be recovered sufficiently in time. As things stand there is no proposed return t the octagon for the champion and Carwin is forced to sit and wait.

    Che ha scocciato sulla cosa, non ci piove. Che Lesnar ha sempre dimostrato zero rispetto verso chi ha battutto (ricordiamo anche con Herrings) è abbastanza palese. Tant'è che nemmeno gente come il Bad Boy o Rampage si comportan così... ed hanno decine di match persi e vinti sulle spalle.

    Poi vabbè, c'è chi è stato anche contento del pugno a terra di Hendo su Bisping, indi, posso comprendere che freghi poco della mancanza di rispetto di Lesnar. :)
