Infographic: Professional Fighters League Season 1 Welterweight Playoff Standings Update
The
Professional Fighters League welterweight division is a
microcosm of the league as a whole, offering sizzling knockouts, a
breakout star and more than a little chaos and confusion. Now that
Thursday’s PFL 6 is out of the way, let’s pick through the
rubble.
The breakout star, of course, is Ray Cooper
III , who followed up his upset of Jake Shields
last month by knocking out Pavel Kusch
in 18 seconds on Thursday. By smoking the powerful Kusch, Cooper
secured the top seed in the welterweight playoffs and cemented
himself as the signature story of the entire season so far.
Just behind Cooper sits Joao
Zeferino , who slid only one spot in the standings after taking
care of business with a third-round submission win over Yuri
Villefort . Shields, recipient of the aforementioned upset loss
to Cooper, did enough to lock down his own playoff berth with a
typically workmanlike decision win over Herman
Terrado , while Rick Story
took full advantage of his matchup with newcomer Carlton
Minus , choking the Alaskan unconscious in the second round and
vaulting himself into the fourth seed.

I see him slowing down Vick with vicious leg kicks & finishing him in 2nd or 3rd round. Especially if it's a smaller octagon.

It Ain’t a Gimmick If It Works
It’s fair to say that the promotional model employed by the
Ultimate Fighting Championship is the predominant one in the
sport today. From the UFC itself down to the humblest of regional
organizations putting on events in gyms and bars, most promotions
offer some variation on the same basic model. It’s built around a
few bedrock principles: former matchmaker Joe Silva’s mantra that
winners fight winners, a high value placed on championship belts, a
distaste for formal bracket-based tournaments and, until recently,
a reluctance to have fighters change divisions or fight outside
their usual weight class.
In theory, it makes the UFC a constant, ongoing tournament, with
the goal of figuring out who are the best fighters in each division
and having them challenge for the belt. When it works -- when the
UFC isn’t undermining its own competitive process with cash-grab
matchmaking -- it works well. It makes for a system that gives fans
time to get to know fighters and can often respond well to the
unexpected. If a title challenger is suddenly injured, for example,
it’s helpful if the rest of the Top 10 is full of credible
contenders who have been working their way up and at least half of
them are coming off of wins in their last fight.

As the round unfolded, Gallagher stalked from the center, talking to his opponent while he worked. A quick takedown worked for Gallagher, but he ultimately backed away when Bandejas was quick to scramble. Once there, Bandejas landed a straight right that sent Gallagher to the floor. The Irishman scrambled up, but Bandejas didn’t let off the gas. A high kick landed clean to the neck, as well, and Gallagher collapsed to the canvas again. Bandejas jumped on top and finished him off with a devastating barrage of punches on the floor, brining an end to the contest at the 2:49 mark of the first frame.

Luke Rockhold Happy to Fight Weidman at UFC 230 But Needs 'The Right Contract'
It has been reported for a number of weeks now that a matchup
between former
Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight champions Luke
Rockhold and Chris
Weidman was in the works for UFC 230 in November at Madison
Square Garden, New York although nothing has been made official
yet.
The pair previously met back in December 2015 at UFC 194 where
Rockhold knocked out then-champion Weidman. Weidman has been
sidelined for over a year now with a nagging injury as a result of
a torn ligament he suffered in his thumb. “The All-American” last
featured inside the Octagon in July 2017 where he snapped a
three-fight losing streak by defeating Kelvin
Gastelum .
Rockhold last fought back in February at UFC 221 for the interim
UFC middleweight title against Yoel Romero .
Romero missed weight for the fight ruling him out of contention for
the title but managed to put the disappointment behind him to knock
out Rockhold in the third round.
Rockhold spoke to reporters at an event with his sponsor American
Ethanol and said the only reason he’s not already signed a rematch
bout against Weidman in November is because he wants a better
contract (via MMAJunkie.

Daniel Cormier Sends Message to Brock Lesnar Following Defeat at WWE’s SummerSlam
Daniel
Cormier doesn’t hide the fact that he’s a professional
wrestling fan, and he had even more incentive than usual to watch
WWE’s SummerSlam on Sunday night.
That’s because his next potential foe in the Octagon, Brock
Lesnar , was in action at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Lesnar would eventually lose his WWE Universal title to Roman
Reigns on Sunday, ending a 504-day reign as champion.
The result should not be surprising, as Lesnar is expected to
return to the UFC and challenge Cormier for the heavyweight belt
sometime in 2019. The two men had a confrontation in the Octagon
following Cormier’s triumph over Stipe Miocic at UFC 226 in
July.
“DC” sent a message to Lesnar on Sunday night, predicting a similar
result when they square off in the Las Vegas-based promotion.
“No more title, now he can come and chase mine,” Cormier wrote on
Twitter. “Sorry [Brock Lesnar], result will be the same.”
No more title now he can come and chase
mine!!!! Sorry @BrockLesnar
result will be the same!!!!

Cormier also commented on Lesnar’s physique, which is generally
more massive in the sports entertainment realm.

Why Boxing Needs to End the Dangerous, Cruel and Unnecessary ‘Mexican Style’ Gimmick
Editor’s note: The views and opinions expressed below are those
of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of
Sherdog.com, its affiliates and sponsors or its parent company,
Evolve Media.
* * *
In the not-especially-funny but disturbingly prescient satire “The
Great White Hype,” Peter Berg plays Terry Conklin, a white fighter
who is getting a shot at the heavyweight championship of the world
solely because he is Caucasian and promoters know a
white-versus-black fight will sell extremely well in America.
Although he is not of Irish descent, the people in charge of
promoting the fight decide to market Conklin as “Irish” Terry
Conklin. They have a team of leprechauns follow him and make him
wear green trunks and Boston Celtics jackets, all because they know
Irish fighters sell especially well. This idea of pretending a
fighter is of a different descent seemed funny in 1996; however,
the joke has manifested itself into reality through the weird,
insensitive and completely unnecessary act of cultural
appropriation known as “Mexican Style.

Everything You Need to Know About the Weekend in Boxing
Who did it better, @Tyson_Fury
or Muhammad Ali?

August 18, 2018
Tyson
Fury versus Deontay Wilder is officially happening.
After cruising to an uneventful decision victory over Italy’s
Francesco Pianeta , the sole highlight of which was
when the self-proclaimed “heavyweight Sugar Ray Leonard”
did his best impression of Muhammed Ali’s famous
cornered head movement routine , Wilder stormed the ring and the
two undefeated heavyweights came face to face. Both fighters
acknowledged that the
deal was already in place , before Fury promised with some
colorful language that he was going to knock Wilder out.
That is highly unlikely, as despite his size Fury has never been a
knockout puncher (19 knockouts in 27 fights). Instead, this is a
classic boxer-puncher matchup with Fury’s size, movement and boxing
ability facing off against Wilder’s right hand from Hell. For
boxing fans, this long-time coming battle will be fascinating but
because of the outsized personalities of the pugilists involved, it
will likely enthrall a casual audience as well.

Dana White: UFC Not Interested in ‘One-Off’ Title Fights for Georges St. Pierre
Now that Khabib
Nurmagomedov vs. Conor
McGregor is official for the
UFC 229 headliner, there figure to be plenty of suitors willing
to face the winner of that blockbuster lightweight championship
bout.
That includes former middleweight and welterweight champion
Georges
St. Pierre , who recently said he’d be interested in facing the
winner of the Oct. 6 contest.
“I would be interested in that fight,” St. Pierre said a recent
press conference filmed by Submission
Radio . “That’s a win-win situation. That’s a win-win situation.
It’s a legacy upgrade and it’s good money. It’s going to be a big
fight.
“However, I fought at 170. I relinquished the title [in 2013]. Then
I fought at 185. I relinquished the title [in 2017]. I don’t think
the UFC will let me fight for the title at 155. They will be afraid
that I’ll relinquish and leave the division in ruins again.”
St. Pierre’s intuition has proven to be correct. In an interview on
"The BBC MMA Show," UFC President Dana White confirmed that the
Canadian star will not be in line to face the Nurmagomedov-McGregor
winner.

Knockouts were plentiful on the
Bellator 204 preliminary card inside Sanford Pentagon in Sioux
Falls, South Dakota, Friday night.
Venezuela’s
Omar Antonio Morales Ferrer improved to 7-0 by blowing away
Troy
Nawrocki (3-1) in the featured preliminary bout. The
lightweight prospect slammed a series of unanswered punches that
destroyed Nawrocki’s equilibrium, eventually knocking him out in
just 58 seconds.
The undercard had five other knockouts: Jason
Jackson (8-3) lived up to his “The Ass-Kicking Machine” moniker
by pummeling fellow welterweight Jordon
Larson (9-5) with punches and ending things 3:58 into the
first; 170-pounder David
Michaud rose to 12-4 by greasing Corey Davis
(2-1) with punches at 1:42 of the opening frame; middleweight
Romero
Cotton rocketed to 3-0 by crushing Willie
Whitehead (2-3) with knees and punches at 4:12 of the first;
welterweight Tyler Ray
moved to 3-1 by knocking Seth Bass
(2-3) out at the 3:30 mark of the first with elbows and knees; and
Jeff

Bellator 204 results: Tywan Claxton taunts, steamrolls Cris Lencioni
Lencioni moved forward to open the third, but it was clear he was tiring from the previous rounds. Claxton calmly stayed away from his opponent’s striking, then moved inside and threw him to the floor with relative ease. Lencioni worked to guard, but Claxton was able to transition to his feet and back to the ground repeatedly, grinding away on his tiring foe. Short punches and elbows found their mark, and while it was ever enough to earn Claxton a stoppage, it was very obvious he had done enough to take home the win at the final bell, with judges scoring the fight 30-27 across the boards.

Sherdog's resident boxing expert, James
Kinneen , breaks down an upcoming weekend with plenty of
can't-miss fights.
What: Andrew Cancio vs. Dardan
Zenunaj, Junior lightweights
When: Aug. 17
How to Watch: ESPN 2, 11 p.m. ET
Why You Should Care: Because Dardan Zenunaj wants
to make a “ Mickey Ward-Arturo Gatti type of fight ” and
Andrew Cancio is more than happy to oblige.
Not every fight needs to have hall of fame or even pound-for-pound
implications, some fights are just great, because they’re great
fights. That may well be the case when it comes to Friday’s matchup
between Andrew Cancio (18-4) and Dardan Zenunaj (14-4). Although
neither fighter is likely going to be remembered as an all-time
great, Cancio has faced the better opposition having lost to guys
like Jojo Diaz but beaten guys like Rocky Juarez .
But, that likely won’t mean much. See, Zenunaj has shown he can be
outboxed, but has vowed he will come forward against Cancio, who is
probably not slick enough to keep him away for long.

When that fight came out the odds were incredibly huge that Ronda was going to win that fight. Nobody gave Holly a chance. I said, ‘Ronda’s never fought anybody like this. Holly striking, her head kicks, her this, her that.’ Even Joe Rogan said, ‘There’s no way Holly Holm wins this fight.’ Not only did we sell the fight, but Holly Holm won the fight.”
