In a pivotal strawweight bout, No. 6 ranked contender Claudia Gadelha squares off with undefeated No. 9 Marina Rodriguez.

The prelims kick off at 6 p.m. ET on ESPN in English and the ESPN App in Spanish. Doors open at 5 p.m. ET. Known for his devastating ground-and-pound attack, Hermansson (20-5, fighting out of Oslo, Norway) emerged as a middleweight contender following a four-fight win streak that saw him earn spectacular victories over “Jacare” Souza, David Branch, Gerald Meerschaert and former title challenger Thales Leites. Hermansson now aims to add a former UFC champion to his resume and further stake his claim as title threat in the stacked middleweight division. Weidman (14-5, fighting out of Baldwin, N.Y.) etched his name in the history books by dethroning long-reigning UFC champion Anderson Silva in 2013. A Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, he has also netted impressive wins against Kelvin Gastelum and Demian Maia, as well as former UFC champions Vitor Belfort and Lyoto Machida.

Gadelha now hopes to be the first fighter to beat Rodriguez and take another step towards title contention. A contract winner onDana White’s Contender Series, Rodriguez (12-0-2, fighting out of Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil) has impressed since joining the UFC roster. During this time, she has netted emphatic victories against Tecia Torres and Jessica Aguilar.

  • Ufc® Announces That Lyoto Machida Will Fight Champion Chris Weidman at Ufc 173
    UFC® ANNOUNCES THAT LYOTO MACHIDA WILL FIGHT CHAMPION CHRIS WEIDMAN AT UFC 173 Las Vegas, Nev. – The Ultimate Fighting Championship® announced tonight that former UFC light heavyweight champion Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida will face off against UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman in the main event of UFC 173 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday, May 24. In light of today’s unexpected ruling issued by the Nevada State Athletic Commission regarding the ban of therapeutic use exemptions for testosterone replacement therapy, Vitor Belfort, Weidman’s previously announced opponent, will no longer compete at UFC 173. Belfort, who has previously been granted therapeutic use exemptions, recognizes that he needs an extended period of time to become licensed in the state of Nevada. With the event scheduled to go on sale shortly, Belfort agreed to withdraw from the fight in order to allow the UFC’s promotional efforts to move forward on time. “With today’s ruling by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, former UFC light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida, who’s undefeated since dropping to 185 pounds, will fight champion Chris Weidman in the main event of UFC 173 in May,” UFC President Dana White said. “Machida was dominant in his last two fights, beating Gegard Mousasi and knocking out Mark Munoz. He’s earned this shot at Weidman, who’s coming off two straight wins over the greatest fighter of all time, Anderson Silva. Machida wants nothing more than to avenge the losses of his friend and training partner, and become just the third fighter in UFC history to win titles in two separate weight classes.” For more information or current fight news, visit www.ufc.com.

She has more weapons than Rousey.” VanZant on fighting Namajunas: “I’m the more aggressive fighter. I go out there to finish.” LOS ANGELES – UFC TONIGHT hosts Daniel Cormier and Kenny Florian are joined by guest host Paige VanZant and break down the UFC 193 title fights. Karyn Bryant and Ariel Helwani add reports. UFC TONIGHT host Daniel Cormier on what Holly Holm needs to against Ronda Rousey: “First and foremost she has to believe in herself and in her team preparing for championship fights. She has to maintain distance. She can’t be close to Ronda. She needs to jab and move, make Ronda feel uncomfortable and look for her to make mistakes.” UFC TONIGHT guest host Paige VanZant on what Holm needs to do to win: “She needs to keep the distance, not close in and rush Ronda. Ronda really capitalizes and uses her judo when she gets rushed.” UFC TONIGHT host Kenny Florian on Holm vs. Rousey: “This is the fight Holly has been expecting for a long time. She’s been working with an Olympic teammate of Ronda’s sharpening up her judo for a long time. She needs to keep it standing, stick and move, and outpoint Ronda for the win.” Cormier on Holm training for Ronda’s weapons: “At Jackson’s, they always make sure their people are prepared for the belt.

V práci je věnována pozornost zejména historii MMA, ale najdeme zde i organizace věnující se tomuto sportu a nejlepší zápasníky z obou zemí. Teoretická část je rozdělena na tři velké kapitoly, ve kterých je MMA obecně, MMA v České republice a MMA v USA. Součástí bakalářské práce je i řízený rozhovor se zápasníkem, který si prošel nejen zápasením v České republice, ale i ve Spojených státech.
