Are there any contenders who can topple Ngannou?

Posted on February 15, 2022 by A. J. Riot

Known as “The Predator”, there are few mixed martial artists as devastating and famous as Francis Ngannou right now. Currently fighting in the UFC, Ngannou has everything you would want in an MMA athlete at this weight. Strong and tough, he also has true knockout power. His right-hand is the stuff of legend and he has used his powerful strike to knock out many of his opponents.

Although a two-fight losing blip did tarnish Ngannou’s record somewhat, there is no doubt he has roared back into full form since. This culminated in a superb win over Ciryl Gane at UFC 270 recently. While the fighter’s win was no surprise per se, the way he used groundwork skills to achieve it was, to many. By adding this to his locker, it leaves him as a truly powerful competitor who many see dominating the heavyweight division in UFC, assuming his contract issues are resolved.

But are there any contenders out there who might topple him?

Robert Whittaker’s anger: will it ever be useful?

Posted on February 8, 2022 by A. J. Riot

For many fans and others who aren’t up close and personal with the lives and professions of fighters, it can sometimes seem as though MMA/UFC is all about getting angry. The throwing of punches and the constant raging in the ring can easily be misinterpreted as anger – and it’s easy to see why.

However, as any MMA/UFC fighter or fan will tell you, anger can actually be a highly destructive force when it comes to doing well in the ring. In fact, MMA/UFC is a highly methodical sport which – while it might be an outlet for players’ anger on some level – is often best played when it’s not focused on angry behavior. This was a lesson learned in particular by UFC middleweight Robert Whittaker during a highly charged time in the ring. This post will look into what happened with Whittaker – and explore the question of whether anger is useful or not as an MMA/UFC fighter.

Professional fighters risk everything each time they step into the octagon, but the upcoming fight between Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington could be a career-ender for the former. The welterweights are set to stand toe-to-toe with each other at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, at UFC 272 on March 5, with one MMA expert predicting this could be the end of the road for Masvidal if he does not come away with a victory.

Chael Sonnen, a former professional MMA star who has turned his attention to the world of MMA analysis, claims the upcoming bout has the potential to be a career-ending fight for Masvidal. Sonnen said on his popular YouTube channel, “In all fairness, I’ve really got to show respect to Masvidal because this is a career-ending fight. It is that big of a deal. There will be that much attention, and that much focus, and that much hatred going into this battle that Jorge, who is the second biggest draw in combat right now, who’s coming off of two defeats, if he goes out there and he gets taken down, and he gets mauled for 25 minutes, it is going to take a lot of luster off of the shine that is the No. 2, the sport’s second-biggest draw, the BMF, Jorge Masvidal.” Keep Reading

5 Of The Most Dominant Champions In UFC History

Posted on January 12, 2022 by A. J. Riot

Ever since the start of the UFC, it has been home to some of the most dominant fighters that the world has ever seen. There have been many fighters who aren’t just good at fighting, they’re also good at grabbing onto any belt in sight and holding onto it for dear life.

Today we’re taking a look at five athletes whose careers showed that kind of unstoppable dominance, even if they did get stopped in the end. If you’re part of the betting crowd, you should consider checking out Fanduel’s UFC fights odds. If any of the fighters below show up, you know who to put your money on.

1. Anderson Silva

Anderson Silva holds the longest title reign in the UFC. If that isn’t dominance, we don’t know what is.

Along with being one of the pioneers of the UFC during its rise to prominence, Silva won the UFC middleweight championship in just his second fight, which was against Rich Franklin at UFC 64. Then the challengers came – and he beat them all.

Dan Henderson, Forrest Griffin, Chael Sonnen, Vitor Belfort, Stephan Bonnar, all of them were repelled by Silva across six whole years. He would finally be defeated in 2013, after 16 victories as champion. This was where Chris Weidman scored lucky punches against Silva while he was showboating.

When Silva lost the title, he had held it for 2,457 days.

Titles on the line at UFC 270

Posted on January 8, 2022 by A. J. Riot

Always eager to attract the crowds, whether packing arena seats or viewing from home via pay-per-view, the Ultimate Fighting Championship rarely disappoints. Opening the schedule for 2022 will be the UFC 270 event on 22 January, held at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, as the world’s most popular mixed martial arts promotion gets the new year going with a bang.

Not just one but two eagerly anticipated title fights will be headlining UFC 270, accompanied by a fine array of exciting contests on the fight card for this event. Headlining the event is the UFC Heavyweight Championship title unification, as Francis Ngannou takes on the interim champion Ciryl Gane, finally getting to decide which of these two superb fighters will take the belt.

The second and equally deserving of headlines is Brandon Moreno versus Deiveson Deiveson Figueiredo, as the reigning UFC Flyweight champion prepares to be tested by the number one challenger. As the latest contest between the Mexican and the Brazilian, this is a trilogy fight in which both fighters will be looking for a definitive resolution, plus the chance for one of these two rivals to walk away with the title belt, of course.

Francis Ngannou vs. Ciryl Gane

Nobody can forget Ngannou’s murderous left hand at UFC 218 in December 2017, rated by ESPN as their ‘Knockout of the Year’, when he delivered the KO punch in the victory against Alistair Overeem. This would firmly establish the Frenchman as a firm favorite amongst MMA fans, which also set him up for a first career attempt at the title.

The opportunity came quickly at UFC 220 in January 2018, although Ngannou was unable to find any way to beat Stipe Miocic on that occasion, as the American broke the record for most consecutive UFC Heavyweight Championship title defenses. Nevertheless, that loss by unanimous decision spurred Ngannou to improve his overall technique, as he sought another opportunity to top the UFC rankings.

Fearsome punching power and great timing brought added four more KO wins to the impressive resume of Ngannou, before the inevitable rematch against Miocic, which eventually came at UFC 260 in March 2021. This time there would be no stopping the fists of Ngannou, who finished Miocic in just two rounds with a KO punch.
