UFC on Fox 17 Recap ” Dos Anjos Stops Cerrone in 66 UFC on Fox 17 Recap " dos Anjos Stops Cerrone in 66 Seconds" Author : Robert D. Cobb In what has been a bad month and year for UFC World Champions, Rafael dos Anjos managed to become one of the few champions to be able to retain his title with a big win on Saturday in Orlando, Fla. against challenger Donald Cerrone. He successfully retained his lightweight championship by stopping Donald Cerrone on strikes in just 66 seconds. The champ caught Cerrone just seconds into the fight with a hard straight left hand, followed up by several vicious shots to take the early advantage. Dos Anjos then followed it up with a perfectly placed knee to the midsection that backed Cerrone toward the cage. The aggressive champion continued to apply the pressure with a left kick to the body that badly hurt Cerrone. Cerrone covered up against the cage as dos Anjos poured it on in an effort to finish. The Cowboy tried to hide but couldn't handle the pressure of the onslaught of Dos Anjos who took him down seconds later and continued to throw hammer fists at Cerrone, who was on his knees covering his head until referee Herb Dean jumped decided to stop it. Rafeal dos Anjos who was making his first title defense was thrilled after the win and had this to say in the cage with Joe Rogan, "I'm so happy because I proved I'm here to stay. It's just the beginning. I have the best team and I am surrounded by so many great people." In what seemed to be the common theme of the night, dos Anjos called out newly crowned featherweight champion Conor McGregor. After McGregor stopped long-time featherweight champion Jose Aldo a week earlier at UFC 191 in Las Vegas, he said he would be interested in facing the winner of the dos Anjos- Cerrone bout for the title. It appears that he will now have his chance. Rafeal dos Anjos didn't mince words when it came to the Irishmen "Conor McGregor, if you want to come to the lightweight division, know that this is my division," he said. "You should stay at featherweight. I will fight you in Brazil. I will go to Ireland to face you." Elsewhere on the card, in a very boring two round affair, with little to no action, Alistair Overeem managed to land one key punch right on the chin of Junior dos Santos to knockout the former champion in the final seconds of the second round. Nate Diaz found the winners circle for the first time in two years with a tactical three round unanimous 29-28 decision win over the red hot Michael Johnson. Diaz attempted to call out McGregor but decided to fill his 24 second post fight interview with constant swearing to the point that none of it could be aired on the Fox broadcast. Miles Jury was also hit by the upset bug with his shocking second straight loss, this time at the hands of Charles Oliveira by first round guillotine chose submission. Charles Oliveira missed weight on his first attempt at the weigh ins, coming in at 150.5 lbs. He was given additional time to make the weight limit, but made no attempts to cut further. Instead, he was fined 20 percent of his fight purse, which went to Myles Jury. This marked the third time that Oliveira missed weight in his UFC career. Nate Marquardt continued his up and down stint with the UFC by knocking out CB Dollaway 28 seconds into the second round. The once promising Dollaway appears to be on his way of getting cut from the UFC very soon. This was the 17th card on FOX since it's debut in 2011, and also the last of 2015 for the UFC. 1 / 1 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

In the co-main event, former UFC heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos clashes with former STRIKEFORCE® champion Alistair Overeem in a bout that could have major title implications in the wide open division. UFC FIGHT NIGHT®: DOS ANJOS vs. COWBOY 2 will be the second consecutive championship bout to air nationally on FOX and eighth overall. After putting on one of the best performances of his career against Anthony Pettis at UFC 185, Dos Anjos (24-7, fighting out of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) captured the 155-pound title, becoming the first Brazilian to hold the UFC lightweight championship. In addition to his impressive wins over former champion Benson Henderson and Nate Diaz, Dos Anjos also handed Cerrone his last loss back in 2013. The Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt will put his title on the line when he and his former foe meet again. Since dropping a decision loss to the champion, Cowboy (28-6, 1NC, fighting out of Albuquerque, N.M.) went on to dismantle the lightweight division by picking off top contenders in one of the most talent-rich divisions in the sport.

  • Bums and Bimbos: Persuasive Personal Attack in Sports and Political Discourse
    Relevant Rhetoric, Vol. 8 (2017): Bums and Bimbos Bums and Bimbos: Persuasive Personal Attack in Sports and Political Discourse Martha S. Cheng Associate Professor Rhetoric and Writing Department of English Rollins College Relevant Rhetoric, Vol. 8 (2017): Bums and Bimbos “I just feel they’re bums. 95-percent of the game is bums…” --UFC Featherweight Champion, Conor McGregor “Fox viewers give low marks to bimbo @MegynKelly… ” --2016 Republican Presidential Candidate, Donald Trump Despite terms like “verbal warfare” and laments over our “argument culture,” accusation and attack have received scant scholarly attention compared to their counterparts, apology and defense. Perhaps this neglect is due in part to there being few formal speeches of attack while those of apology from individuals, corporations, and governments abound.1 To address this imbalance in research, Benoit and Dorries devel- oped a taxonomy of attack strategies, providing tools by which scholars can analyze and evaluate the effec- tiveness of persuasive attacks.2 Legge et al. 3 and Legge and DiSanza’s4 work have extended that taxonomy. Benoit and Dorries explain, “once a persuasive attack establishes guilt to the satisfaction of the audience…there may not be much to be gained from further developing the target’s guilt.”5 Therefore, they focus on the act of wrongdoing rather than blaming or simply attacking the target’s character. Yet, even cursory attention to news and enter- tainment media reveals a ubiquitous form of persuasive attack focused on the target’s character: the persuasive personal attack. Not surprisingly, such attacks are commonly heard in sports where opponents “trash talk” to goad each other with insults, hoping for a psychological advantage in a game, and in politics where those campaigning for office routine- ly attack their opponents for character flaws.

De man uit Dublin heeft in vijf jaar meer bereikt bij het Ultimate Fighting Cham- CONOR MCGREGOR CONOR pionship dan wie ook in de bestaansgeschiedenis van de organisatie. Van een onbekend talent in 2013 tot de eerste man die houder is van twee titels tegelijk. McGregors opmars binnen respectievelijk de veder- gewicht- en de lichtgewichtranglijst zette de vechtscene op zijn kop. Maar zo moeiteloos als McGregors zegetocht ook op het oog leek, in werkelijkheid was het geen gemakkelijke weg en zijn toekomst is verre van duidelijk. Aanvankelijk leek hij gewoon een jongen die martial arts-technieken met zijn vrienden trainde in een schuur. Zonder enige toekomst en onder het oog van zijn bezorgde ouders joeg hij een onwaarschijnlijke droom na. Niemand kon voorzien dat hij een van de grootste pay- per-viewattracties ter wereld zou worden. Dit is niet het verhaal van een sportman met een groot talent die voor het succes geboren was. Dit is een boek over een jonge kerel die door zijn bloedstollende vastberadenheid en zijn ontembare geest het ge- zicht van mixed martial arts zou worden.
