Ultimate Fighting Professional Athlete Whose
Does Dillian Whyte deserve to skip Otto Wallin and advance straight to Tyson Fury title fight? This massive week in the brief UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) career of McGregor came just 15 months after his 67-second debut KO of Marcus Brimage. It would surely have come sooner had he not sat 10 of those months out with a torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament).The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is an American mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion company based in Las Vegas, Nevada. The UFC is owned and operated.McGregor’s numbers – $180,000 (€134,000) in fights and bonuses – tell a story. But some of the most intriguing figures to emerge from last week were 3e’s record viewing figures of 600,000 for a sporting event and the 35 minutes it took to sell 9,500 seats at the O2.This sort of momentum needs a face and McGregor fits perfectly, but it can’t just be him and the fact more people than society might care to admit love a good scrap.As Bernard Dunne brought Neilstown with him, so McGregor rallied Crumlin, Patrick Holohan brought Tallaght, and Neil Seery Finglas. Large tracts of the capital converged on the docks and those who didn’t make it tuned in.Dubliner Cathal Pendred and the sport has benefitted from his long-term friendship with former Belvedere College classmate and current Ireland prop Cian Healy, a more orthodox professional athlete whose support lends publicity and, in some cases, credibility.With McGregor, Pendred and Holohan, Iceland’s Gunnar Nelson completes the Straight Blast Gym quartet, protegés of “Godfather” John Kavanagh representing Irish MMA in another assault on the UFC’s top order.They have utilised social media to great effect, especially Twitter, engaging with their fans and opponents, from pre-fight trash talk and post-bout displays of respect and humility, to pictures of pints in the pubs people know.
Every fighter in the building is supposed to make weight. “You were supposed to make weight. And the interview only grew stranger from there to the point where Vettori entertained Costa’s bizarre behavior.“What’s your weight right now? Honestly, what’s your weight right now?” Vettori asked Costa straight up.“I will tell you but why do you want to know my weight?” Costa shot back with a chuckle.“I mean, I want to f—ing know!” Vettori said. Memo to Paulo Costa seemingly drifting in space — any fighter should have a problem with the weight for the fight being up in the air three days away from the bout. Anthony Joshua could 'quite possibly' change trainers, says Eddie HearnWell, yeah. Tournaments would put boxing in a much healthier position and expand the sport's fanbase
No one should.Boxers get ripped any time they're two pounds overweight. However, he shouldn’t have been subjected to this kind of circus. And Vettori has probably won over new fans by the sheer manner at which he has handled this bizarre situation. More than 20 percent of his purse should be slashed for this.Giving Vettori major credit, he’s hellbent on fighting Costa regardless of the Brazilian’s antics.
These rules aren't new.Like Vettori said, it’s as if Costa suddenly doesn’t know the rules.If Adesanya knocked some of Costa’s wits silly last year, maybe Vettori will knock some sense back into him Saturday night because what we witnessed this week from “The Eraser” was unacceptable. He's had 14 professional MMA fights.
