  • BISPING: Barnett Needs to Push the Pace Vs. Nelson
    FS1 UFC TONIGHT Show Quotes – 9/23/15 BISPING: Barnett Needs To Push The Pace Vs. Nelson Florian: “Uriah Hall Is Too Dangerous To Just Stand and Trade With” LOS ANGELES – UFC TONIGHT host Kenny Florian and guest host Michael Bisping break down the upcoming FS1 UFC FIGHT NIGHT: BARNETT VS. NELSON. Karyn Bryant and Ariel Helwani add reports. UFC TONIGHT guest host Michael Bisping on how Josh Barnett can beat Roy Nelson: “Josh needs to not get hit by the right hand of Roy. He needs to push the pace of the fight, move forward, and push Roy up against fence and brutalize him with knees and elbows like he did with Frank Mir. Most of his finishes came from the clinch position. He finishes fights against the fence. He did that against Frank Mir.” UFC TONIGHT host Kenny Florian on Barnett avoiding Nelson’s knock out power: “Josh doesn’t want to be on the outside where Roy’s right hand can get him. He wants to be on the inside. He’s been busy on the submission circuit. He’s dangerous on the mat and that’s where he wants to get Roy.” Bisping on how Nelson should fight Barnett: “What Roy can’t get is predictable. If he just tries to throw the big right hand, Barnett is going to see it coming. Roy has to mix up his striking. I’m not sure he’s going to go for takedowns. But he has to mix his striking. His right hand and left hooks, to keep Josh at bay.” Florian on Nelson mixing up his strikes: “The knock on Nelson is his lack of evolution.

  • Why Is This Called a Sport? Blood Gore Ultimate Fighting Choke Punch Kick Pummel Fighting Choke Punch Kick Pummel
    WHY IS THIS CALLED A SPORT? BLOOD GORE ULTIMATE FIGHTING CHOKE PUNCH KICK PUMMEL FIGHTING CHOKE PUNCH KICK PUMMEL UFC capitalizes on the primal urge to watch men beat each other senseless, and is now worth $1.5-billion after being bought for $2-million eight years ago. James Christie explores the world inside and outside the octagon. From Saturday's Globe and Mail Last updated on Monday, Jul. 20, 2009 04:09AM EDT The Ultimate Fighting Championship is the sports world's version of a traffic accident. It's a bloody, brutal, violent spectacle, and people can't help but look. Learned social behaviour tells us it's uncivilized to watch as men pound each other into pâté inside an octagonal cage, let alone cheer madly as a losing combatant turns into a hematoma. Yet for the broadcast of UFC 100 from Las Vegas last weekend, young men lined up five deep in upscale downtown watering holes - not low-end beer joints - to scream and howl as combatants were pummelled and choked into unconsciousness. During one match, fighter Dan Henderson knocked opponent Michael Bisping unconscious and then - "Just to shut him up a little," Henderson said later - raised himself on his toes before dropping down to lay another blow on Bisping's still body. "It's a phenomenon that allows people to take part vicariously in the type of behaviour that, on the street, would get you a jail sentence," says Geoff Smith, a cultural historian and retired Queen's University professor. Whatever the draw, "like crack, it's growing exponentially," says Joel Gerson, five- time Canadian jujitsu champion and owner of Revolution MMA, a mixed martial arts club in Toronto.

  • WWE: Five Burning Questions for Smackdown Heading Into Wrestlemaina 33 After the Elimination Chamber
    WWE: Five Burning Questions for Smackdown heading into Wrestlemaina 33 after the Elimination Chamber Author : We just came off the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view event for the Smackdown brand. On Sunday night, we saw American Alphas retain their tag team titles in a tag team turmoil match, Naomi and Bray Wyatt both won their first singles title in their WWE careers, and Randy Orton had a match of the night against Luke Harper. However, since all of that was said Smackdown now has no events until Wrestlemania. In all honesty, the next event is Fastlane for the RAW brand, which happens in the beginning of March. So after watching the show on the WWE network, I have compiled a list of questions that I feel Smackdown needs to answer over the next seven weeks leading into Wrestlemania. [Jon] Here are some questions that the blue brand needs to answer prior to Wrestlemania: 1- What do you do with American Alpha? On Sunday night, we saw Jason Jordan and Chad Gable retain their titles over the Usos, the Ascension, Slater & Rhyno, Breezeango, and the Vaudevillians. The Hype Bros were not included in this match as Zack Ryder is nursing an injury and Mojo had a match on the preshow. Since there is no viable opponent for American 1 / 3 Alpha leading into Wrestlemania, I say WWE needs to call up the Revival to the main roster. They are due to get a call-up to the main roster and the Smackdown tag team division needs a dominant heel team. I will not put the Ascension, Breezeango, or the Usos as they have all done badly in recent time.

    Cubed Circle Newsletter 192 – Jay Lethal's Big Win, PWG From Out of Nowhere & More! In this week's newsletter we return to discuss not only this week's WWE television programming, RAW and NXT, but also a Ring of Honor pay-per-view from a few weeks ago, a PWG show from the beginning of the year, and Mid-South TV from 1981! – Ryan Clingman, Cubed Circle Newsletter Editor Playing Catch-up – Part I: PWG 'From Out of Nowhere' and ROH 'Best in the World' As some readers may know, the first semester holidays began but a couple of weeks ago, meaning that I have approximately two more weeks to catch up on all of the pro-wres I missed both before and during exams. What I hope to do over the following two weeks is publish opinions in each week's newsletter covering, briefly and in general, what I watched that week in terms of newer material. Originally, this was a project meant to get underway last week, but the Tsuruta/Misawa piece that I had a lot of fun writing got in the way of that. This week we will be taking a look at Ring of Honor's 'Best in the World' internet-pay-per-view, as well as PWG's 'From Out of Nowhere'. Ring of Honor: Best in the World June 19th 2015, Terminal 5, New York, New York Ryan Clingman Terms such as "biggest match in the history of [insert company name]" are popular on two platforms, the first being the forever-home of hyperbole, the internet and its forums, and the other WWE's television, which continuously pushes the latest forgettable match as supposedly the "biggest" or "most important" in company history.

  • Five Questions with Dan Gable Date: July 23, 2018 at 5:27 AM To: Kyle Klingman [email protected]
    From: Kyle Klingman [email protected] Subject: Five questions with Dan Gable Date: July 23, 2018 at 5:27 AM To: Kyle Klingman [email protected] Dan Gable, namesake of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum, answers five questions about professional wrestling in advance of the 2018 George Tragos/Lou Thesz Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame inductions on July 26-28. Gable won a gold medal in freestyle wrestling at the 1972 Olympics and coached the University of Iowa wrestling team to 15 NCAA team championships from 1977-97. Anyone interested in ordering tickets to Hall of Fame weekend should e-mail [email protected] or call (319) 233-0745. (Dan Gable, left, with The Iron Sheik) One of the most common questions we get asked is, “What does Dan Gable think about professional wrestling?” So, what do you think about professional wrestling? As an amateur wrestler growing up in Waterloo, Iowa, I was influenced more than normal by professional wrestling. Like most other people, I tuned into professional wrestling for excitement and entertainment, which is a good product. I write my books for excitement and entertainment, so that’s a positive thing. There was personal attachment that gave me more insight and brought me closer when Chris Taylor, my teammate at Iowa State, went into professional wrestling after college. When professional wrestlers like Iron Sheik and Kurt Angle throw my name out it enhances my connection to professional wrestling. Professional wrestling is not a foreign subject to me. (Kurt Angle, left, with Dan Gable) Chad Gable, a 2012 Olympian in Greco-Roman wrestling (as Chas Betts) and current WWE Superstar, shares your famous last name.
