  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 4, 2020 [email protected] PANCRASE 316, July 24, 2020 – Studio Coast, Tokyo Bout Hype A
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 4, 2020 PANCRASE 316, July 24, 2020 – Studio Coast, Tokyo Bout Hype After a five-month hiatus, the legendary promotion Pancrase sets off the summer fireworks with a stellar mixed martial card. Studio Coast plays host to 8 main card bouts, 3 preliminary match ups, and 12 bouts in the continuation of the 2020 Neo Blood Tournament heats on July 24th in the first event since February. Reigning Featherweight King of Pancrase Champion, Isao Kobayashi headlines the main event in a non-title bout against Akira Okada who drops down from Featherweight to meet him. The Never Quit gym ace and Bellator veteran, Kobayashi is a former Pancrase Lightweight Champion. The ripped and powerful Okada has a tough welcome to the Featherweight division, but possesses notoriously frightening physical power. “Isao” the reigning Featherweight King of Pancrase Champion, has been unstoppable in nearly three years. He claimed the interim title by way of disqualification due to a grounded knee at Pancrase 295, and following orbital surgery and recovery, he went on to capture the undisputed King of Pancrase belt from Nazareno Malagarie at Pancrase 305 in May 2019. Known to fans simply as “Akira”, he is widely feared as one of the hardest hitting Pancrase Lightweights, and steps away from his 5th ranked spot in the bracket to face Kobayashi. The 33-year-old has faced some of the best from around the world, and will thrive under the pressure of this bout. A change in weight class could be the test he needs right now. The co-main event sees Emiko Raika collide with Takayo Hashi in what promises to be a test of skills and experience, mixed with sheer will-to-win guts and determination.

USMAN No. 1 Flyweight Contender Shevchenko Makes Analyst Debut with Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Werdum and Santiago on FOX Deportes LOS ANGELES – Today, FOX Sports announces UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley and retired contender Kenny Florian to serve as desk analysts alongside lead UFC host Karyn Bryant for FS1 UFC FIGHT NIGHT: MAIA VS. USMAN programming on Friday, May 18 and Saturday, May 19. Blow-by-blow announcer Brendan Fitzgerald and veteran MMA analyst Jimmy Smith call the bouts live Octagon-side from Santiago, Chile. Laura Sanko adds reports and interviews fighters on-site. In addition, No. 1-ranked flyweight contender Valentina Shevchenko makes her analyst debut alongside former UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum and Troy Santiago calling the fights in Spanish on FOX Deportes. Two elite welterweights headline UFC’s first visit to Chile as Kamaru Usman (11-1) faces former title challenger Demian Maia (25-8) in a five-round main event in Santiago. Winner of 11 bouts in a row, including seven in the Octagon over the likes of Leon Edwards and Sergio Moraes, the No. 7-ranked Usman has been a nightmare matchup for everyone he’s faced. He expects similar results against the Brazilian grappling wizard Maia, the No. 5 contender at 170 pounds, who owns wins against top contenders Jorge Masvidal, Carlos Condit, Matt Brown, Neil Magny and Gunnar Nelson.

  • Are Ufc Fighters Employees Or Independent Contractors?
    Conklin Book Proof (Do Not Delete) 4/27/20 8:42 PM TWO CLASSIFICATIONS ENTER, ONE CLASSIFICATION LEAVES: ARE UFC FIGHTERS EMPLOYEES OR INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS? MICHAEL CONKLIN* I. INTRODUCTION The fighters who compete in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (“UFC”) are currently classified as independent contractors. However, this classification appears to contradict the level of control that the UFC exerts over its fighters. This independent contractor classification severely limits the fighters’ benefits, workplace protections, and ability to unionize. Furthermore, the friendship between UFC’s brash president Dana White and President Donald Trump—who is responsible for making appointments to the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”)—has added a new twist to this issue.1 An attorney representing a former UFC fighter claimed this friendship resulted in a biased NLRB determination in their case.2 This article provides a detailed examination of the relationship between the UFC and its fighters, the relevance of worker classifications, and the case law involving workers in related fields. Finally, it performs an analysis of the proper classification of UFC fighters using the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Twenty-Factor Test. II. UFC BACKGROUND The UFC is the world’s leading mixed martial arts (“MMA”) promotion. MMA is a one-on-one combat sport that combines elements of different martial arts such as boxing, judo, wrestling, jiu-jitsu, and karate. UFC bouts always take place in the trademarked Octagon, which is an eight-sided cage.3 The first UFC event was held in 1993 and had limited rules and limited fighter protections as compared to the modern-day events.4 UFC 15 was promoted as “deadly” and an event “where anything can happen and probably will.”6 The brutality of the early UFC events led to Senator John * Powell Endowed Professor of Business Law, Angelo State University.

  • [STREAMS-FREE]UFC 259 Live Stream: Adesanya Vs Blachowicz PPV
    [STREAMS-FREE]UFC 259 Live Stream: Adesanya vs Blachowicz PPV UFC 259 live stream: Light Heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz prepares for his third title defence - against Israel Adesanya in Yas Island, ... The UFC 259 live stream is almost here, and we've got two title matches at the top of the card. Up first you have Amanda Nunes vs Megan Anderson for the featherweight title, and your main event finds UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya moving up the weight rankings to challenge for Jan Blachowicz's light heavyweight championship. Going into that match, Adesanya is the lighter of the two, hitting 200.5 pounds at weigh-ins on Friday morning. He was handed a box of pizza by his cornerman thereafter, so he's intent on putting on some more pounds. And well he should, nobody's ever won that title at this weight before. Blachowicz was 205 pounds (the limit) at weigh-ins, but says he'll be at 220 pounds by fight time. Nunes, both the UFC women's featherweight and bantamweight champ, is the heavy favorite against Megan Anderson. Anderson is only 0.5 pounds lighter, but the odds are still stacked against her according to most — as Nunes is the best to ever do it in women's MMA. The biggest UFC show of the year so far is almost here, as Israel Adesanya attempts to make history by adding the UFC light-heavyweight title to his middleweight championship. Standing in his way is Jan Blachowicz, who is on a four-fight win streak with three of those coming inside the distance courtesy of his formidable punch power.
