  • 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.

  • Rafael Feijao Cavalcante Tests Positive
    Rafael Feijao Cavalcante Tests Positive Brazilian mixed martial artist, Rafael Custodio a.k.a. Rafael Feijao Cavalcante, has tested positive for a banned substance. The California State Athletic Commission has suspended Rafael Cavalcante for a period of one year for testing positive to stanozolol metabolites. The Strikeforce light heavyweight champion tested positive following his win over Mike Kyle last month in San Jose, California. The MMA fighter has been suspended for one year and fined $2,500 by the California State Athletic Commission. His suspension was applied retroactively to May 18, 2012 and the result of his last fight with Mike Klye will be changed to a "No Decision" with Rule 368. According to Commissioner George Dodd of the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC), "Feijao," who submitted "MAK" last month on the main card of the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix Final tested positive for stanozolol metabolites. The suspension of Cavalcante marks the third high-profile Strikeforce fighter getting suspended for banned substances after Cris "Cyborg" Santos and Muhammed Lawal were both suspended by the California State Athletic Commission and Nevada State Athletic Commission, respectively. Cavalcante trains with Anderson Silva and Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira as part of the Black House camp and is best known for his aggressive Muay Thai style and explosive knockout power. He made his professional MMA debut on February 10, 2006 by knocking down Eduardo Maiorino by TKO at a Pantanal Combat event in Brazil. On May 15, 2010, he became the number one contender for the Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Championship by knocking out Antwain Britt at Strikeforce: Heavy Artillery.

  • UFC Drug Testing Policy
    Joseph Peer Research paper rough draft SPM-373 UFC Drug Testing Policies and History Introduction The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has a very long history of an ever evolving drug testing policy for its over five hundred athletes. It started in a very crude form, much like the UFC itself, when it began with no gloves, no weight classes, and almost no actual rules. Years ago, the UFC began working with the United States Anti-Doping Agency, to help regulate drug testing and keep the athletes in check. Subsequently, its drug testing, and anti-doping policies went from basically non-existent, to being so strong and controlling that it has become controversial how much power has been given to the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) over the UFC’s athletes. There have been many controversial cases involving everything from tainted urine samples to completely over the top ridiculous punishments for smaller violations. Where did the UFC start from with its drug testing policies, where is it today, and where is it heading in the future? It is very obvious the USADA and the UFC’s fighters are far from agreement on many of the policies, and punishments. Drug Testing Policy The drug testing policy for the UFC has evolved quite a bit since it came into existence, with the main concern being anti-doping. First, doping is defined as the occurrence of one or more of the Anti-Doping Policy Violations set forth in Article 2.1 through Article 2.10 of the Anti-Doping Policy (“UFC Anti-Doping Policy,” 2015 p.#3) These articles cover every possible way an athlete may use, abuse, possess or illegally be in contact with any performance enhancing drug (PED).
