Still a Star? Nogueira Talks About Cain Velasquez, His Future, and Fedor Still a Star? Nogueira talks about Cain Velasquez, His Future, and Fedor Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira looked terrible against Frank Mir However, eight months after the Mir debacle, Nogueira looked like one of the top mixed martial artists on the planet in dominating Randy Couture. Nogueira won a clear-cut unanimous decision against the UFC legend. So which “Big Nog” can we expect to see in the future? The answer will be revealed very shortly at UFC 110 on Saturday, February 20. Nogueira is set to step into the cage against an undefeated fighter many observers feel is a huge part of the heavyweight future, Cain Velasquez. Velasquez, the two-time All-American wrestler at Arizona State University, has ripped off seven straight victories to start his career. Of the seven wins, only one man (Cheick Kongo) even made it to the scorecards. The other six fighters all fell by TKO. But none of the men Velasquez defeated have anything close to the career accolades of Nogueira. Besides Kongo, Velasquez’s biggest win was against former IFL star Ben Rothwell. On the other hand, Nogueira is the only man to hold heavyweight championships in both Pride FC and the UFC. He’s beaten proven MMA stars like Mirko Cro Cop, Josh Barnett, and Dan Henderson. The match-up between Nogueira and Velasquez will be a true test of where each fighter stands today and for the future. “I’m very excited for the fight,” Nogueira said about the upcoming match-up. “Wherever it goes, I’ll be ready.” Nogueira is widely known for being one of the best submissions fighters in the history of the sport. With Velasquez being a top-level wrestler, Nogueira could find himself on his back early on. “If he takes me down, we’re going for submissions,” Nogueira said. “My jiu-jitsu will be 100 percent.” The Brazilian star understands that takedowns are a big part of Velasquez’s skill set. To prepare, Nogueira has enlisted the help of two All-American wrestlers-Strikeforce light heavyweight Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal and UFC middleweight Mark Munoz. “King Mo is one the best wrestlers in America,” Nogueira said. “We do a lot of single leg and double leg defense. I have a very good camp here.” Should Nogueira defeat Velasquez, he’ll likely be in line for another shot at the heavyweight title. With the Frank Mir vs. Shane Carwin winner slated to face Brock Lesnar sometime this summer, Nogueira would likely have to wait until fall of 2010 to receive the chance. Nogueira is highly interested in fighting for the title, but he has not forgotten about his poor performance against Mir. Mir laid a two round beating on the former champion in December 2008. Nogueira also does not like Mir’s constant trash-talking. “If I fight against Mir, it will be different. I’ll be in better shape and no injuries,” Nogueira said, alluding to the rumor that he had a staph infection just prior to the fight. “I don’t like how Mir talks. I come from jiu-jitsu. I come from martial arts. I train hard, and I respect my opponent. I will never say anything bad about my opponent. My opponent works hard so that’s my way. I don’t think he shows respect.” Another man in the heavyweight title picture is Nogueira’s teammate Junior Dos Santos. As a top prospect in the UFC, Dos Santos is even more accomplished than Velasquez. He has won 10 of 11 fights, and he defeated MMA stars Mirko Cro Cop, Gilbert Yvel, and Fabricio Werdum along the way. “Never,” Nogueira said, when asked if he would ever fight Dos Santos. “To me, that would be like fighting my brother (current UFC fighter Antonio Rogerio Nogueira). No money would be worth it to fight one of my best friends.” While Nogueira battles at heavyweight, his identical twin brother campaigns in the light heavyweight division. Nogueira gives a simple explanation as to why. “I don’t want to be competitive with my brother,” Nogueira said. “I was always a little bigger than him-maybe 12 pounds. He can make 205.” Prior to joining the UFC, Nogueira had a very successful stint in Pride FC over in Japan. However, one man Nogueira could not defeat in three attempts was consensus top heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko. Over the past few years, Emelianenko was heavily rumored to be joining the UFC, but no deal ever came to fruition. “That’s his choice,” Nogueira said about Emelianenko’s decision to sign with Strikeforce. “He doesn’t want to come and join the UFC show? Some other guy will. The UFC has the best heavyweights. If he comes to the UFC, he’s going to face the best guys.” Nogueira and Emelianenko last fought almost five years ago when Nogueira was 28. Now 33 and a veteran of 38 fights, Nogueira has dismissed any talk of retirement. “I think I could fight until 37,” Nogueira said. “I’m in really good shape. I’ll fight until my body tells me I can’t.” The upcoming fight will go a long way in showing Nogueira exactly where his body is. Is he the fighter that was dominated by Mir? Or is he the warrior that took apart Couture? Nogueira will certainly find out the answers against Velasquez at UFC 110. In predicting the fight, Nogueira stopped short of declaring victory, but he did promise a memorable match-up. “I feel good,” he said. “I’m going to do the best show possible.”.

  • 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.

  • Cultivating Identity and the Music of Ultimate Fighting
    CULIVATING IDENTITY AND THE MUSIC OF ULTIMATE FIGHTING Luke R Davis A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2012 Committee: Megan Rancier, Advisor Kara Attrep © 2012 Luke R Davis All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Megan Rancier, Advisor In this project, I studied the music used in Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) events and connect it to greater themes and aspects of social study. By examining the events of the UFC and how music is used, I focussed primarily on three issues that create a multi-layered understanding of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighters and the cultivation of identity. First, I examined ideas of identity formation and cultivation. Since each fighter in UFC events enters his fight to a specific, and self-chosen, musical piece, different aspects of identity including race, political views, gender ideologies, and class are outwardly projected to fans and other fighters with the choice of entrance music. This type of musical representation of identity has been discussed (although not always in relation to sports) in works by past scholars (Kun, 2005; Hamera, 2005; Garrett, 2008; Burton, 2010; Mcleod, 2011). Second, after establishing a deeper sense of socio-cultural fighter identity through entrance music, this project examined ideas of nationalism within the UFC. Although traces of nationalism fall within the purview of entrance music and identity, the UFC aids in the nationalistic representations of their fighters by utilizing different tactics of marketing and fighter branding. Lastly, this project built upon the above- mentioned issues of identity and nationality to appropriately discuss aspects of how the UFC attempts to depict fighter character to create a “good vs.

Introduction The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) started in 1993 as a mixed martial arts (MMA) tournament on pay‐per‐view to determine the world’s greatest martial arts style. Its main draw was its lack of rules. Weight classes did not exist and rounds continued until one of the competitors got knocked out or submitted to his opponent. Although the UFC initially achieved underground success, it was regarded more as a spectacle than a sport and never attained mainstream popularity. The perceived brutality of the event led to political scrutiny and pressure. Attacks from critics caused the UFC to establish a set of unified rules with greater emphasis placed on the safety. The UFC also successfully petitioned to become sanctioned by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. However, these changes occurred too late to have an impact and by 2001, the parent organization of the UFC was on the verge of bankruptcy. The brand was sold to Zuffa LLC, marking the beginning of the UFC’s dramatic rise in popularity. Over the next eight years, the UFC evolved from its underground roots into the premier organization of a rapidly growing sport.

  • 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.
