Originaltext:

12:08 a.m. Final thoughts: What we had tonight was the UFC trying to turn chickens--- into chicken salad. Sara McMann wasn't ready for Ronda Rousey. Patrick Cummins wasn't ready for Daniel Cormier. But the stable of championship-level women's fighters is still mostly empty, and Cummins was a late replacement for injured Rashad Evans. People want to see Ronda Rousey, so the UFC fed her McMann. Cormier wanted to fight at 205, and the card needed his star power, so the UFC fed him Patrick Cummins.

And then the UFC tried to sell this card as if the two biggest fights were worthy of headlining a PPV show. They weren't. They were fun to watch, though, because who doesn't enjoy a finish? But these fights showed just how good the best of the best are, and how unlikely -- nay, impossible -- it is for a raw fighter to knock off the best of the best. MMA has come too far. Rocky won't happen here.
Hindsight? Nah. I predicted both results before those fights started. That doesn't make me smart. It means I've been paying attention to MMA for several years. Great fighters don't belong in the same cage with newbies. That's what the UFC provided tonight, and we saw two beatdowns.
Were you not entertained?

UFC women's bantamweight title:
Ronda Rousey (champion, 8-0-0) vs. Sara McMann (7-0-0)

11:59 p.m. Round 1: McMann is blasting Rousey with overhand rights to the temple, and those are gonna leave a mark. Ouch. Rousey clinches and scores with knees and dirty boxing, but when they separate McMann looks dangerous ... until Rousey drops McMann with a knee to the liver that causes Herb Dean to stop the fight. Too soon? Maybe, yeah. McMann was on the ground using one of her hands to hold her stomach while Rousey was using both hands to finish. Rousey by TKO, about a minute into the fight.

11:44 p.m. Prediction: McMann has the best wrestling credentials, male or female, in UFC history. She's an Olympic silver medalist, and wrestling is a great foundation for MMA. But I've seen tape of McMann, and she's not ready for Rousey. Not good enough on her feet, and not dangerous enough with ground-and-pound to keep Rousey from submitting her, assuming she's able to get Rousey to the ground. Another armbar win for Rousey.

Women's bantamweight bout (135 pounds):
Alexis Davis (15-5-0) vs. Jessica "Evil" Eye (11-1-0)

9:59 p.m. Official decision: The judges had a split-decision of 29-28, two for Alexis Davis for the victory. Crowd booed. I don't get crowds.

9:56 p.m. Round 3: Eye delivers the best two punches of the first minute, and Davis responds by smiling and walking forward anyway. Eye keeps scoring with jabs and 1-2 combos, and while she's winning this round, that just means a decision loss (in my eyes). Eye isn't showing any urgency to finish the fight or overwhelm Davis. She's content to out-box her for a 10-9 round, which won't get her the 'W'. This is a clear 10-9 round for Eye, which means it'll come down to the close round 1.

9:50 p.m. Round 2: Eye wins the first minute on the feet, so Davis takes her down and hammer-fists her for about 10 painful seconds. Davis doesn't score much else, but is winning this round with boredom control while toying with the right arm of Eye, which could be kimura'd if she isn't careful. Bad round for the fans and Eye, but a 10-9 round for Davis for a 20-18 lead.

9:44 p.m. Round 1: Eye goes for the stink-eye during introductions, while Davis looks as pleasant as pleasant can be. Advantage, Eye! Davis scores with a leg kick but Eye muscles her to the cage and delivers a fast combination to the head. Davis responds with a front kick to the face, glancing but still scoring, to which Eye says: Back to the cage for you. Eye is much stronger and using that to win the clinch game, but when they separate Davis scores with leg kicks and quick flurries. She's not so pleasant after all! With 30 seconds left in a close round Davis scores a takedown, and ends the round on top. It's so close, I don't know who to give it to ... so here I go, giving it to the fighter who scored the late takedown. 10-9 for Davis.

9:35 p.m. Prediction: Davis is one of the best 135-pounders in the world, but Eye is on a roll that only some weed has derailed. Her victory last time out, against Sarah Kaufman, was ruled a no-contest when she tested positive for marijuana. Unless she got high in the last few days, nothing can stop Eye from winning this one and move into position to fight for the title next.

Originaltext:

The 2013 ADCC World Grappling champion Michelle Nicolini is going back to MMA this weekend.

Dirheimer holt ersten Profititel

Originaltext:

Amateurtitel hat Katrin Dirheimer schon jede Menge eingesammelt. Nun muss die Kölnerin ihren Trophäenschrank wohl noch einmal ausbauen, denn am Samstag kam nun auch der erste Profititel und somit auch der erste schwere Gürtel hinzu. Bei der vierten Nürtinger Fight Night traf sie auf die Münchnerin Anita Sinko. Beide standen sich bereits bei den letzten Amateurweltmeisterschaften der WKU auf Kreta im vergangenen Jahr in zwei Finalen gegenüber. Einmal ging der Titel nach Köln, einmal nach München. Auch in dem Pro Titel Match sollte es spannend hergehen. Erst nach der Extrarunde, womit nicht alle glücklich waren, wurde Dirheimer zur Siegerin und somit auch zur neuen Weltmeisterin der WKU erklärt.

“Last Woman Standing” Tells Tale of Heartbreak in Women’s Boxing

http://wombatsports.wordpress.com/2014/02/19/last-woman-standing-tells-tale-of-heartbreak-in-womens-boxing/

Originaltext:

Two female boxers were looking for the Olympic dream, but only one represented their country at 75 kg.

“Last Woman Standing” documents two of the best amateur boxers on the planet in Canada’s Mary Spenser and Ariane Fortin as they seeked to become Olympic gold medalists. Even though the two became fast friends on the amateur boxing circuit, circumstances beyond both ladies’ control would put their friendship on hold.

The documentary isn’t as much about the friendly rivalry of the two, but how circumstances aided one and hurt the other. The pressure of one being in the limelight with the hopes of a nation on her shoulders, while the other feeling slighted by what she felt was an unjust system and trying to find a way to make her Olympic dream come true despite the adversity.

The documentary also alludes to the unfairness in women’s Olympic boxing of only having three weight classes. Many boxers had to drop or move up in order to fulfill their dreams of being Olympians. The film shows some of the many reasons why 3 weight classes aren’t enough to support the bevy of talent across the globe. (A campaign is underway to add more weight classes in 2016.)

Support the Movie - Kayla Harrison Help us tell Rusty’s amazing story!

In this video, Kayla Harrison makes her case for the crowd funding effort for the movie, Don't Call Me Sir, as well as the official website for the project at www.supportdontcallmesir.com Rusty Kanokogi was an amazing person and an inspiration for women around the globe. Though she never looked at herself as an individual standing up for women’s rights, Rusty was a true trailblazer. It is thanks to Rusty that women’s judo is a competitive sport and an Olympic event. Don’t Call Me Sir! is a movie about Rusty’s early life, her beginning in judo, and how she, then a single mother, had to disguise herself as a man to compete in the 1959 New York State Judo Championships – which she won! And how her medal was taken away from her when she admitted to being a girl. Rusty is in the movie portrayed by by Kayla Harrison, the 2012 Olympic Gold Medal Winner in judo, the first American, male or female, to be Olympic Judo Champion! We need your support to make this movie because as accomplished as Kayla is, Hollywood would prefer that a proven actress portrays Rusty.

Kuden/Okuden – Es gibt kein Geheimwissen

Originaltext:

Oft liest man von Kuden/Okuden in den Kampfkünsten, von so genanntem „Geheimwissen“. Für mich ist jedoch klar:
ES GIBT KEIN GEHEIMWISSEN!
Es gibt nur Schüler die sich bemühen und solche die es nicht tun. Ein sich bemühender Schüler steht dem Lehrer auf den Füßen,
hängt an seinen Lippen und versucht so viel von seinem Wissen in sich aufzusaugen wie es geht. So jemand erfährt natürlich deutlich mehr und macht viel größere Fortschritte als jemand der 2-3mal die Woche zum Training kommt, vorher quatscht und hinterher ein Bier trinken geht (siehe auch „
die Kampfkunstfamilie“).
Wer das Gehörte nicht versucht für sich im eigenständigen Training wieder neu zu erfahren, zu entdecken und umzusetzen wird nie auf eine körperliche Ebene kommen, die die Grundlage für alles Weitere ist.
Da fängt Kampfkunst jedoch erst an, das ist der Übergang zum “Ha” aus “Shu-Ha-Ri”. Ab da kann man versuchen das Gehörte an sich zu entdecken.
Gehört hat man es schon oft vorher, evtl. auch intellektuell verstanden, aber der Körper (und auch der Geist) müssen diese Dinge verinnerlichen.
