UFC Fighters Who Have Got Gift of Gab

Posted on August 24, 2020 by A. J. Riot

MMA has reached a new height in the world of sports and the main credit of this goes UFC and the superstar fighters of this organization. It is not that easy to get stardom in this sport. Fighting and winning in the Octagon while showcasing your skills and strategies will surely make you an elite fighter and a star but in order to become a superstar of the sports, one needs much more than that. There are a number of fighters in UFC who have got a lot of skills when it comes to words. How a fighter speaks in a press conference against their opponents creates the real hype and it can increase the sale of PPVs and arena seats. Here are some of the best fighters who have mastered the skills of trash talk along with martial arts.

Conor “The Notorious” McGregor

Love him or hate him, McGregor is the biggest superstar not only of UFC but also of the sports world. He has been gifted with the power of gab as he knows how to defeat his opponents with words – before even setting foot in the cage. “Straight Outta Dublin,” Conor has proved himself as a skillful fighter from time to time in his fights and he has also shown that none of his opponents stands a chance when it comes to trash talk as well.

The two-division champion’s references of El Chapo and his reply to Jeremy Stephens ‘Who the F is that guy’ have become legendary in UFC. He is the one who has taken UFC and MMA to the whole new level with his gifts of gab as well as his skills to sell the fight.

Looking Back At The Best Middleweight Boxers of All Time

Posted on August 7, 2020 by A. J. Riot

If you were to take all the boxers in the middleweight category and pitted them against each other, betting on your champ would be an exciting but tough challenge. As the standard male falls into the 160-lbs weight category, it is unsurprising that this is a weight division with a huge depth of talent.

Which of the greats in this weight bracket would demolish the field with their might? Here we run through some of the possibilities for the top spot, so you can begin to make your choice who to put your money on.

Stanley Ketchell

It is difficult to take different generations of boxers and compare them. Ketchell, in 1908, dispatched Sullivan as World Champion with an ease that few could have predicted. He then went on to floor the heavyweight champion Jack Johnson, which was billed as David against Goliath. This talented boxer was murdered in 2020 at the age of 24, so who knows what his potential would have been. Also, imagine if he had the input of today’s psychologist, physiotherapists and professional trainers! He would have been an unstoppable force!

Emile Griffin

Griffin spent a lot of his career in the welterweights, where he would have come in as the greatest of all time without a doubt. However, he also deserves to rank in the greats of the middleweights, as he was the first native of the US Virgin Islands to take the world title. While you might look at his record and think it is nothing special, it is because he carried on fighting way too long. He cemented his talent and skill by becoming a world-class training, helping to train Wilfred Benitez and Juan LaPorte.

Dick Tiger

Born in Nigeria but an immigrant to Liverpool, England, Dick Tiger beat Fullmer to win the world title, retaining the title three times in meetings with this classy boxer. In the third match-up, Tiger knocked Fullmer out. He has made many lists for the best boxer in any category, so deserves a high place in the greats of the middleweights. Keep Reading

Bellator 243: Ranking History for Benson Henderson and Michael Chandler

Posted on August 5, 2020 by Richard Mann

In the main event of Bellator 243, former UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson takes on former Bellator lightweight champion Michael Chandler in a rematch of their 2016 bout. Both have slipped slightly in the rankings since their first encounter, but they are both currently ranked inside the top 20.

Despite spending the majority of their careers in different promotions, both fighters have had prolonged success, mostly in the lightweight division. Neither fighter has been ranked lower than 20th since 2011. Henderson’s peak quarterly ranking came on July 1, 2013 at #1 lightweight during his UFC title reign. Chandler’s peak ranking actually came in the same quarter when he was ranked #3 lightweight.

Chandler is reportedly on the last fight of his Bellator contract. If the promotion allows his deal to lapse, he could follow fellow former Bellator champion Eddie Alvarez’s path to the UFC. Alvarez left Bellator in 2013 as the #6 lightweight and captured the top spot, as well as the UFC title, in the Octagon.
