UFC TONIGHT Quotes FS1 UFC TONIGHT Show Quotes – 11/11/15 CORMIER ON HOW ROUSEY SHOULD FIGHT HOLM: “SHE NEEDS TO CLOSE THE DISTANCE, TAKE HER DOWN AND MAKE IT A SHORT FIGHT.” Florian on Holm: “She’s good at creating distance. 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. We know Ronda’s weapon of choice is the arm bar, but Ronda has knockouts now, with knees and big right hands, as we saw in the last fight. She’s a well- rounded fighter. She’s not just a grappler anymore. She can do everything. For Ronda, she needs to close the distance, take Holly down and make it a short fight.” Florian on Rousey countering Holm’s strengths: “Ronda has to pressure Holm a lot. The thing about Holm, she’s good at creating distance. You can’t give her space to work with. She throws a lot of different weapons, and has more weapons than Rousey. Rousey leans on her hands and clinch fighting. She’s got to pressure Holm up against the cage.” Cormier on Holm making it a long fight: “The longer she can make the fight go, the better the chance Holly has because she’s gone long many times in her career.” Cormier on Joanna Jedrzejczyk’s striking skill: “She’s an incredible striker. She has confidence and she goes into the fights without a doubt that she’ll get her hand raised. She has a killer mentality. When she gets people hurt, she goes for the kill.” Florian on Valerie Letourneau’s key to fighting Jedrzejczyk: “Her key is to keep the fight standing. Valerie has been working with Hector Lombard, who’s been essentially her head coach. He’s an aggressive fighter. Valerie might go and trade punches with Joanna.” Cormier on which underdog has a better chance to pull the upset: “Valerie has a better chance because it’s a stand-up fight. If Ronda is in trouble, she’ll throw Holly down and get the submission.” Paige VanZant on which underdog could win: “I think Holly has a better chance to get the upset. Ronda hasn’t faced anyone like Holly yet. Holly is undefeated and she’ll be able to do things that others haven’t been able to do against Ronda.” VIDEO: Strikezone Predictions: Ronda Rousey vs. Holly Holm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CTS28DS4hA Florian on Dan Henderson’s recent loss: “I don’t think there’s any shame in losing to a guy like Vitor Belfort. Dan Henderson has to start thinking about retiring at this point. He’s taken a lot of damage in the last several fights. He’s been fighting tough guys. I’d like to see him transition and maybe take a job with the UFC.” Paige VanZant on her upcoming fight vs. Rose Namajunas: “It’s a great matchup. She’s well rounded, has a great striking game and has pulled off a few tricky submissions. I’m the more aggressive fighter. I go out there to finish and push the pace.” VanZant on needing time to develop and fight for championship: “I think I’m going to improve immensely over the next few years. I’m new in the sport. I’m going to continue to grow. I’m an athlete and have done a lot in other sports. I’m not lacking experience. I have a long way to go to become great. I’m going to keep changing as a fighter.” VanZant on Claudia Gadelha saying Paige gets preferential treatment from the UFC: “I don’t believe that. I’m 3-0 in the UFC for a reason. I don’t think Claudia is wrong in saying that it is an entertainment industry. Of course the UFC wants to make money and they want things that sell.” VIDEO: Paige VanZant Interview http://www.foxsports.com/video/UFC?vid=564884035912 Gegard Mousasi on his loss to Urijah Hall: “I wanted to finish him badly. The only mistake I made was I was too aggressive. I believe I would beat him in a rematch. I respect the guy, I didn’t take the fight lightly. I was in shape.” Mousasi on who he picks in the middleweight title fight between Chris Weidman and Luke Rockhold: “I think it’s very evenly matched. It’s 50-50 if you ask me.” Mousasi on what’s next for him: “I’d like to fight as fast as possible. Anderson Silva would be a good fight for me. I don’t have anything to lose.” VIDEO: Gegard Mousasi Interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_gw6t83UQ0 UFC TONIGHT Insider Ariel Helwani on if Khabib Nurmagomedov will retire: “I spoke to him. He’s decided against retirement. His time wasn’t now. His father is the boss. He said, ‘once you get the gold, you can decide.’ Khabib said fighting is in my blood. He’s going to relax for a while then hopefully get back for the Super Bowl fight.” Helwani on Al Iaquinta opting for knee surgery: “Al Iaquinta has decided to get knee surgery. He’s going to get cartilage from a cadaver and put it into the back of his knee cap. He’ll be out six to eight months.” VIDEO: Inside The Octagon with Ariel Helwani https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeOxIDqJ1o0 For notes, coverage, bios, photography and more, visit the FOX UFC page on FOX Sports Press Pass.

  • 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.

  • The Effects of Sexualized and Violent Presentations of Women in Combat Sport
    Journal of Sport Management, 2017, 31, 533-545 https://doi.org/10.1123/jsm.2016-0333 © 2017 Human Kinetics, Inc. ARTICLE The Effects of Sexualized and Violent Presentations of Women in Combat Sport T. Christopher Greenwell University of Louisville Jason M. Simmons University of Cincinnati Meg Hancock and Megan Shreffler University of Louisville Dustin Thorn Xavier University This study utilizes an experimental design to investigate how different presentations (sexualized, neutral, and combat) of female athletes competing in a combat sport such as mixed martial arts, a sport defying traditional gender norms, affect consumers’ attitudes toward the advertising, event, and athlete brand. When the female athlete in the advertisement was in a sexualized presentation, male subjects reported higher attitudes toward the advertisement and the event than the female subjects. Female respondents preferred neutral presentations significantly more than the male respondents. On the one hand, both male and female respondents felt the fighter in the sexualized ad was more attractive and charming than the fighter in the neutral or combat ads and more personable than the fighter in the combat ads. On the other hand, respondents felt the fighter in the sexualized ad was less talented, less successful, and less tough than the fighter in the neutral or combat ads and less wholesome than the fighter in the neutral ad. Keywords: brand, consumer attitude, sports advertising, women’s sports February 23, 2013, was a historic date for women’s The UFC is not the only MMA organization featur- mixed martial arts (MMA).

  • 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.
