Ufc Tonight Quotes FOX Sports 1 UFC TONIGHT Show Quotes – 6/10/15 VELASQUEZ ON WERDUM: “I SAY IT’S GOING TO BE A FIVE-ROUND WAR. IF IT ENDS EARLY, I’VE DONE SOMETHING RIGHT.” Florian on how Werdum wins: “He has to control the distance, vary the attack and look for a submission in a transition.” UFC 188 Preview, Plus Velasquez, Tate and Penne Interviews on UFC TONIGHT LOS ANGELES – UFC TONIGHT hosts Daniel Cormier and Kenny Florian preview UFC 188. Florian interviews heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez about his title defense against interim champ Fabricio Werdum. Miesha Tate co-hosts and talks about her upcoming fight, while Jessica Penne talks about her title fight next week. Karyn Bryant and Ariel Helwani add reports. UFC TONIGHT Host Kenny Florian on Cain Velasquez’s fighting strength: “This guy is non- stop action. His whole game is to pressure his opponent and make them suffer and see who breaks first. He’s one of the most exciting fighters in the UFC.” UFC TONIGHT Host Daniel Cormier on Fabricio Werdum getting better: “Fabricio Werdum has gotten better with time. At 37, he the best we’ve seen him. He has confidence. We always talk about how important confidence is. What he did with Travis Browne, walking him down with his striking, was impressive. And then to knock out Mark Hunt was great.” UFC TONIGHT Guest Host Miesha Tate on Werdum being underrated: “Don’t you feel Werdum has been highly underrated in all his fights? You never know what to expect. He could be showing up and showing new things in his game that could pose problems for Cain.” Cormier on Velasquez’s keys to victory: “He has to apply constant pressure. He has to use his boxing. He keeps everything tight and crisp. He has to mix in takedowns - he can’t abandon his wrestling.” Florian on Werdum’s keys to victory: “His first key is to control the distance. He’s got to keep Cain on the outside. He has to vary the attack and mix it up. And he has to look for a submission in a transition.” Cain Velasquez on if he’ll change his training style after all his injuries: “I’ll keep it the same. It’s working. It’s not just us getting hurt. Other fighters are too. We’re fighters. We spar. It takes a toll on the body. I’m 100 percent healthy now. I’m happy with the training camp.” Velasquez on how he’ll fight Werdum: “He’s a complete fighter. He punches, he kicks. He’s one of the best on the ground. We know what we have to do to beat him. We have to apply a lot of pressure, a lot of punches and kicks.” Velasquez on Werdum claiming he can win the fight anywhere it goes: “Every fighter has that confidence, but I’m going to show him Saturday what’s going to happen.” Velasquez on if he thinks Werdum’s interim title is a paper title: “He’s the interim champ. He didn’t get the real belt, obviously. I’m happy to show everyone who the real champ is.” Velasquez on how the fight will end: “I never have a prediction. I always say that it’s going to be a five-round war. I’m ready for everything. If it ends early, then I’ve done something right. I expect a long, grueling fight.” VIDEO: Interview: Velasquez https://youtu.be/1B7_pJPiXRQ VIDEO: UFC 188 Predictions https://youtu.be/wukk3sVXMXU Tate on Gilbert Melendez and Eddie Alvarez fighting at UFC 188: “I think Melendez is going to be reinvigorated after his bad performance against Pettis. You come back and feel you’ve got to get back on your A Game. That’s what makes Gil my favorite fighter. What makes Alvarez so good is he moves laterally and punches hard when moving backward. That’s very hard to master. You have to take that into consideration. Gil can’t run into the punches.” Cormier on what Melendez and Alvarez need to do in the fight: “In the Pettis fight, Melendez looked like he was rushing things. Gilbert needs to slow down, believe in his boxing and believe in his wrestling. Alvarez has to push the pace against Melendez to make Gilbert make mistakes. If Alvarez fights slow, like against Cerrone, he’ll get picked apart. I think Gilbert is a little more well-rounded and will get the win.” Miesha Tate on what her next opponent Jessica Eye brings to the fight: “She’s a very agile fighter. She’s got great footwork, head movement and her boxing is on point. Her striking is to be reckon with. But I’m a battle tested veteran. I have more tools in the tool belt. I think I’m a better wrestler, better grappler and I punch harder.” Tate on Ronda Rousey vs. Bethe Correia: “I think Bethe is in over her head. This fight is too early in her career. She has yet to fight anyone in top 10. It’s a deep pool and Ronda’s the queen of the division. It’s a big step up for Bethe.” Tate on Rousey not wanting to fight Cyborg at a catch weight: “I find it funny she’ll move up to fight Gina, but not Cyborg. You should do the same for both. Don’t make the exception for one, but not the other.” VIDEO: Interview: Miesha Tate http://www.foxsports.com/video/UFC?vid=461796931707 Jessica Penne on if her title fight against Joanna Jedrzejczyk is a striker vs. grappler fight: “I think it is, but I’m also one of the most well rounded fighters in the division. I have a lot more tools than she does. She’s a good striker. She’s a tough opponent, but so am I.” Penne on Carla Esparza losing the title to Jedrzejczyk: “I feel like Carla was defeated before she got in the cage. She didn’t show up the way she usually does. Joanna played a lot of head games and it worked to her advantage.” VIDEO: Interview: Jessica Penne http://www.foxsports.com/video/UFC?vid=461776451768 UFC TONIGHT UFC TONIGHT is the official weekly news and information show of the Ultimate Fighting Championship on FOX Sports 1.

  • Cultivating Identity and the Music of Ultimate Fighting
    CULIVATING IDENTITY AND THE MUSIC OF ULTIMATE FIGHTING Luke R Davis A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2012 Committee: Megan Rancier, Advisor Kara Attrep © 2012 Luke R Davis All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Megan Rancier, Advisor In this project, I studied the music used in Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) events and connect it to greater themes and aspects of social study. By examining the events of the UFC and how music is used, I focussed primarily on three issues that create a multi-layered understanding of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighters and the cultivation of identity. First, I examined ideas of identity formation and cultivation. Since each fighter in UFC events enters his fight to a specific, and self-chosen, musical piece, different aspects of identity including race, political views, gender ideologies, and class are outwardly projected to fans and other fighters with the choice of entrance music. This type of musical representation of identity has been discussed (although not always in relation to sports) in works by past scholars (Kun, 2005; Hamera, 2005; Garrett, 2008; Burton, 2010; Mcleod, 2011). Second, after establishing a deeper sense of socio-cultural fighter identity through entrance music, this project examined ideas of nationalism within the UFC. Although traces of nationalism fall within the purview of entrance music and identity, the UFC aids in the nationalistic representations of their fighters by utilizing different tactics of marketing and fighter branding. Lastly, this project built upon the above- mentioned issues of identity and nationality to appropriately discuss aspects of how the UFC attempts to depict fighter character to create a “good vs.

  • Fighters Five a Roadmap for Developing Relentless, Explosive Fighters Foundation of Developing Physical Fighters
    FIGHTERS FIVE A ROADMAP FOR DEVELOPING RELENTLESS, EXPLOSIVE FIGHTERS FOUNDATION OF DEVELOPING PHYSICAL FIGHTERS POWER STRENGTH ENDURANCE HEALTH YOU’RE A COMBAT ATHLETE hether you’re a fighter or grappler, you chose to Wcompete in one of the toughest sports that exist. Champions in these sports are built over time, with consistency, hard work, planning, attention to detail, monitoring and adjusting along the way. There is no quick fix, shortcut, easy way to the top At the highest levels everybody is talented and tough. The difference between them and the thousands of others gunning for the Number One Spot? Winners take consistent, massive action towards improving themselves every week. Top athletes must organize their whole life around improving their mindset, skill, strength, conditioning, recovery, nutrition and more. And most importantly: winners have an absolute, crystal-clear vision of Who They Are and Where They Are Going. They are constantly analyzing and assessing throughout camp and then making adjustments to address their specific situation. SIMPLY GRINDING & WORKING HARD IS NOT ENOUGH TELL ME IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE YOU: • You consume so much information, you are confused about what to do. • You find yourself subscribing to old-school, outdated training methods. • Your workouts are more about building mental toughness (“building character”) than improving athleticism. • Whether you train alone or with a team of coaches, you lack a coordinated plan of action. • You try to mimic or train like your favorite athletes. • You don’t test or monitor any aspect of your training, your body, or your health. • You have bowed to the altar of high intensity training, no days off and are grinding yourself into a deep hole.

  • Dos Santos Has a Chance to Grow, Develop from Loss
    dos Santos has a chance to grow, develop from loss Author : Robert D. Cobb Former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos learned a lot in his title fight with Cain Velasquez at UFC 155. I hope dos Santos paid attention because Velasquez put the blueprint to regaining his title right in front of him. Velasquez dominated from start to finish -- he won every round convincingly. Dos Santos learned he needs to become a better all-around fighter -- Velasquez is a better grappler, wrestler and, Saturday, was a better striker. Velasquez was able to mix up his strikes to take dos Santos down at will. The latter was the most-surprising; until this fight, dos Santos was widely-regarded as the best striker in the division. He has 10 victories by TKO or KO. Simply put, Velasquez proved himself the better fighter by showing more diversity in his game. Against most heavyweight fighters dos Santos doesn't need to be great at more than one aspect of the cage but against top-level fighters, heavy hands aren't always enough. He became champion without becoming a great wrestler -- partly because the depth of skill set at heavyweight is not as good as other divisions and partly because his striking is so dynamic. He showed that in the first fight with Velasquez, when he knocked him out early in the first round. 1 / 2 In a bout with talented submission artist Frank Mir and a separate fight with Roy Nelson, dos Santos stalked them around the ring with his fists. This time, Velasquez did the stalking.

  • Champ Jon Jones Flagged for Another Failed Doping Test

Jones is widely considered the top pound-for-pound fighter in his sport. The potential violation stems from a sample collected after his weigh-in July 28 for his title fight against Daniel Cormier at UFC 214 in Anaheim, California. Jones (23-1) beat Cormier with a vicious third-round head kick, reclaiming his 205-pound belt after sitting out the previous year under suspension for his first failed doping test. The victory appeared to be a return to glory for a fighter who has repeatedly hindered his stellar career with misbehavior outside the octagon. Jones was stripped of his belt in 2015 after his arrest for his involvement in a hit-and-run accident. He was scheduled to fight Cormier for the title in July 2016, but was pulled from the UFC 200 card and eventually suspended for what he claimed was a failed test due to a sexual enhancement pill. Last month, the 30-year-old Jones emphatically denied he has ever used performance-enhancing drugs. Jones hasn’t yet been stripped of his light heavyweight title for a second time, but it will be a formality if the doping violation is confirmed.
