  • Pankra, para que no tergiverses ni utilices cosas que no son. En boxeo crucero no es semis de MMA, semis de MMA es semis de boxeo.

    No quieras llevarlo a tu terreno que si en MMA quisieran una categoria crucero con la funcionalidad de la del boxeo se crearia, pero no es el caso. Deja de repetir que los semipesados de MMA son la transicion a los pesados porque es la mayor toneria que jamas has dicho y no por mas repetirla se va a hacer realidad. Me extraña que Teseo, Topgear o alguno de los mas hardcore no haya saltado a rebatir tamaña tonteria.

    UFC

    LHW hasta 205lbs.
    HW hasta 264lbs.

    Boxeo

    LHW 175lbs.
    CruiserW 200lbs.
    HW +200lbs.

    Como veras cruceros son cruceros y semis son semis, independientemente de los pesos para algo tiene nombre cada categoria.

      Esto va en serio????
      Te lo juro amigo, solo de ver las reacciones de Coleman en Pride post peleas, la agresividad de algunos luchadores o el cuerpo medianamente musculado de Fedor ... jajajajaja.

      Para mi si no das positivo eres limpio, que quieres que te diga yo lo veo asi.

      • Si no das positivo en tu adorada UFC querrás decir, porque si no das positivo en PRIDE da igual, eres un dopado igualmente XD

        • Si en Pride habia controles antidopping reconozco que lo desconocia, ahi me has pillado. En ese caso retiro mis acusaciones y sin ironia.

          • Yo es que en esos temas pienso que al que pillan es que se lo ha currado poco en esconderlo. Pienso que todos toman ayudas. Puedo demostrarlo? Pues no.. Asi que por eso no suelo opinar mucho en estos temas, aunque mi opinion es esa. Todos toman. (pero no solo en mma ojo, creo que todos los deportistas de elite lo hacen y lo veo hasta normal)

            • Coño jajaja siyo pienso igual, pero una cosa es mi mente y otra la vida real. Si no das positivo eres un tio limpio y si lo das eres un tramposo, no es lo que yo diga o crea es que eso es un hecho.

              Repito, en Pride habia controles? Tenia entendido una cosa pero con tu respuesta ya no se si estaba en lo cierto.

              • ¿pero en Pride habia barra libre no? osea que no habia controles de ningún tipo ¿no?

                Colacao estoy deacuerdo en que lo de los pesos no es comparable, mma es mma y boxeo es boxeo, y en mma no hay transición a ninguna categoria reina. El que es LHW está feliz y contento siendo LHW, por que siempre ha habido en LHW grandes figuras que generaban pasta, lo mismo que en HW, como Tito, Lidell, Couture, Rampage, Belfort, Arona, Wand, Shogun, etc

                  Totalmente, creo que Mysterios y Pankra se han quedado en el topico de antaño y antiquisimo de que HW venden mas y el campeon es el mejor, cosa que en su momento puede que fuere cierto pero a dia de hoy para nada.

                  Hoy el mejor es quien mas diferencia saca a sus adversarios y estos mas nivel tienen, es mas completo y en una supuesta pelea contra mejores de otras categorias la mayoria de gente veria vencedor.

                  Para mi eso es el mejor p4p.

                    Jones' attention has turned to his next challenge: talented Alexander Gustafsson. The pair jawed some during UFC's recent media tour, and it sounds as if "Bones" is preparing himself for a war. If Jones truly is the pound-for-pound best, he won't stumble.

                    St-Pierre called the upset. He had Chris Weidman winning all the way in this one. Now it's up to him to not suffer a fate similar to Anderson Silva's. Johny Hendricks awaits in November.

                    We suspected Weidman had the skill to be a UFC star. Now he has the signature win. Knocking out Anderson Silva? That's something nobody is forgetting any time soon. Weidman says it's just the beginning.

                    UFC's flyweight champ did everything right against John Moraga, showing the full scope of his pound-for-pound abilities en route to his first non-decision Octagon-bound victory.

                    "Showtime" debuts on the pound-for-pound list at No. 7. He's showcased an ability to win standing or grounded, striking or submission. If Pettis can avoid more serious injury problems, he could soon approach the top of this group.

                    His first title defense against Antonio Silva was, with respect to "Bigfoot," a bit of a gimme. The second one is where it's at: Velasquez-Junior dos Santos III in October. Mark it down on your calendar.

                    The bantamweight division is no longer on (Dominick) Cruz control thanks to this Brazilian phenom. Forget waiting for the champ; Barao looks to defend the interim title (again) later this year.

                    Color us all impressed, Gil. You might not have won the title against Ben Henderson, but it didn't feel like you really lost, either. Up next is an on-paper war with Diego Sanchez. If this were 2009 we'd be discussing a sure-fire brawl.

                    1. Jon Jones (18-1)

                    Facing an undersized opponent he was expected to handle with ease, Jones still impressed in his April 27 demolition of Chael Sonnen. The first-round TKO tied “Bones” with Tito Ortiz for a record fifth defense of the UFC light heavyweight title and, more importantly, paved the way for even bigger and more competitive bouts. The 26-year-old will face Swedish “Mauler” Alexander Gustafsson in the main event of UFC 165 on Sept. 21.

                    2. Georges St. Pierre (24-2)

                    St. Pierre kept his chokehold on the 170-pound class by dominating Nick Diaz in a five-round rout at UFC 158, adding the brash Californian to a list of victims which includes Carlos Condit, Jake Shields, Jon Fitch, B.J. Penn and Matt Hughes. When he returns at November’s UFC 167, St. Pierre will have to deal with another tough challenger in Johny Hendricks.

                    3. Jose Aldo (23-1)

                    The featherweight division’s Brazilian ace was not at his leg-kicking best at UFC 163, thanks to a foot injury sustained early in the bout; but, as champions do, Aldo found a way to win. When challenger Chan Sung Jung separated his shoulder in the fourth round, Aldo pounced on his wounded foe and pounded out his fifth consecutive title defense. While the Nova Uniao fighter continues to discuss a potential move up to lightweight, there are plenty of 145-pound challengers hungry for a shot, including Ricardo Lamas and Chad Mendes.

                    4. Anderson Silva (33-5)

                    For the first time in 17 UFC appearances, Silva’s night ended without his hand being raised at UFC 162. After taunting, baiting and clowning Chris Weidman for little more than a round, the Brazilian met his demise when the challenger connected with a left hook and follow-up punches to put a shocking and abrupt end to Silva’s championship reign 1:18 into round two. Until he steps into the Octagon again, the debate will rage on as to why “The Spider” suffered the first loss of his UFC career. Was it his apparent disregard for Weidman’s skills or was it something deeper, such as a waning motivation to compete? Silva took up UFC President Dana White on his offer of an immediate rematch and will try to take back his belt at UFC 168 in December.

                    5. Cain Velasquez (12-1)

                    Velasquez celebrated Memorial Day in Las Vegas with his first successful defense of the UFC heavyweight strap. The sport’s top big man steamrolled Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva at UFC 160, setting up an October rubber match with Junior dos Santos, whom Velasquez dominated across five rounds in December to take back the belt. Dos Santos remains the only blemish on Velasquez’s record, which includes first-round finishes of Silva (twice), Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Brock Lesnar.

                    6. Chris Weidman (10-0)

                    For months, Weidman claimed he was the man to dethrone reigning middleweight champion and pound-for-pound king Anderson Silva. In the UFC 162 main event, he backed up his talk, knocking out the Brazilian a little more than a minute into the second frame. The Serra-Longo Fight Team member has demonstrated rapid progression in each fight, and his blend of wrestling, jiu-jitsu and constantly improving standup makes him a formidable obstacle for any potential challenger. Weidman will attempt to repeat his feat and prove that his win over Silva was no fluke when they rematch on Dec. 28.

                    7. Demetrious Johnson (17-2-1)

                    There is “Mighty Mouse,” and then there is the rest of the flyweight division. The UFC’s littlest champ used his unparalleled speed and potent ground game to place challenger John Moraga firmly in the latter camp on July 27, when Johnson scored his long-desired first finish in the Octagon via fifth-round armbar. With wins over Joseph Benavidez, Ian McCall and John Dodson, Johnson’s only problem now is finding a suitable challenger. One may have emerged on Sept. 4, as Benavidez blitzed Jussier da Silva at UFC Fight Night 28, but in the meantime, Johnson has been discussing the possibility of moving up the scale for a super fight.

                    8. Anthony Pettis (17-2)

                    Pettis needed five rounds and the remarkable “Showtime” kick to wrest the WEC belt from Benson Henderson in 2010, but he required far less time to earn his second victory over “Smooth” and become the new UFC lightweight king. In the UFC 164 headliner, Pettis softened his opponent with a series of brutal body kicks, then locked in a fight-ending armbar with 29 seconds left in round one. About the only thing that went wrong for Pettis was a knee injury he suffered while checking a kick. Fortunately, the ailment was diagnosed as a sprain, which should keep the Roufusport standout out for approximately two months. When he returns, a date with T.J. Grant awaits.

                    9. Benson Henderson (19-3)

                    After seven consecutive triumphs to begin his UFC career, “Smooth” relinquished his lightweight crown to the same man who snatched WEC gold from his clutches in December 2010: Anthony Pettis. The MMA Lab product had no answer for Pettis’ dynamic attack at UFC 164, as “Showtime” had Henderson reeling with a series of hard body kicks before finishing the fight with an armbar from guard in the opening frame. The emphatic nature of the loss means there will be no immediate rematch for Henderson, but his impressive track record figures to keep him booked in significant fights for the foreseeable future.

                    10. Renan Barao (30-1)

                    Barao successfully defended the UFC interim bantamweight strap against 22-year-old prospect Michael McDonald at UFC on Fuel TV 7 in February. With a resume that includes triumphs over Brad Pickett, Scott Jorgensen, Urijah Faber and the aforementioned “Mayday,” Barao has earned his place atop the division, even if his title comes with a “temporary” label. A second title defense against Eddie Wineland at UFC 161 fell through when the Brazilian suffered a foot injury; the bout has been rebooked for UFC 165 on Sept. 21.

                    • Mysterios no estoy de acuerdo, creo que el recuerdo de pride os hacer verlo mucho mejor de lo que en su momento era.
                      Ni recuerdo ni nada, yo los combates de Fedor en Pride me los pongo y flipo con su velocidad, sus fintas, su pegada su inteligencia en el cuadrilátero...Eso y que yo empecé viendo UFC y Pride al mismo tiempo.

                      Y por favor Pankra no me vendais la moto de Fedor viejo ni pollas que contra Pezao Fedor sin estar en su prime tampoco estaba acabado eh?
                      Vamos a ver colacao...tu tienes ojos, ni moto ni pollas ¿Tú ves a Fedor de los últimos combates, especialemnte al Fedor del último, con la misma coordinación, velocidad y CARDIO? Te recuerdo, y en el archivo es comprobable, que yo veía a Fedor perdiendo el combate con Pezao antes de darse, el motivo principal sus declaraciones explícitas con deseos de retirarse (de hecho llevaba bastante tiempo queriendo pero las claúsulas contraactuales se lo impedían), de todo el rollo este de ser cristiano, de querer dedicar tiempo a su familia etc. También ví los vídeos de sus entrenamientos previos al combate y no me gustaron, y lo dije.También muchas lesiones y periodos largos de inactividad.Son signos que anuncian el ocaso de un peleador.

                      Me coincidio el bajon de Fedor con su llegada a USA con controles mas serios.
                      El declive venía siendo mucho más claro desde el combate con Rogers, pero sus últimos coletazos en Pride ya no estaban tampoco al nivel de su Prime.


                      Soy el mas Fedorista que haya, pero tampoco me puedo cegar, creo que Cain si no esta a la par con Fedor es que ya lo ha superado. Veremos hasta donde llega Cormier por edad, los demas no veo a nadie pasando al ruso menos a Bones, que para mi cualquier dia se convierte en GOAT a este paso.
                      A Caín lo han noqueado en el primer asalto y a Fedor no, Fedor ha vencido a Minotauro en su Prime (y en su terreno) y Caín no(a pesar de ser uno de sus mejores nombres), Caín a vencido Dos Santos(también perió) y Fedor a Mirko Crocop, Coleman, Randleman (todo tipo de wrestlers explosivos y con credenciales), Caín a Lesner.Fedor tenía cardio y Caín no.Peeeroo...Fedor no estaba firmado con Zuffa inc. y Caín sí (seguro que esto lo consideráis un argumento de peso :P)

                      Caín tiene mucho que demostrar todavía para siquiera compararse con Fedor.Me acuerdo cuando Lesnar era la moda, entonces se decía que el nuevo peso pesado del mañana, la versión digievolucionada, era un wrestler los más cachas posible y cuanto más pesado mejor...Carwin era el otro prototipo.Los pesos pesados más ligeros eran una cosa obsoleta.Que pasa que Caracol Carwin, el nuevo Joe Frazier (publicidad de Zuffa claro) se queda sin cardio en un asalto, Caín el pinipon enano deja llorando al Gorila Albino superguerrero("vikings fucking vickings"), entonces toda esa ley incuestionable de los HW culturistas "evolucionados" desaparece de repente y si te he visto no me acuerdo.Otra de las cosas que se le criticaban a Fedor por aquella moda, además de su estatura, era que no entraba a doble pierna, ahora había que rassler, pero rassler de libre, preferiblemente libre americana, la greco todavía no molaba, de hecho estaba outclassed(cuando se complementa cojonudo con el striking, pero bueno), y el Judo y el Sambo directamente eran una puta mierda, por eso Fedor no podía competir con Carwin y la "Nueva hornada" de Dan Bobish de la vida.Ahora cuando están Jones y Ronda Roussei, casualmente "el Judo es el futuro de las MMA".

                      Yo creo que a Fedor se le va a reconocer cuando Dana White se jubile y ya reconozca que Fedor es el más grande de todos los tiempos, porque parece que él y Rogan son la mente enjambre.

                      • Evidentemente las mma son un deporte con muchos más factores en el combate, por lo que un cambio de peso ha de ajustarse a todos ellos. No se trata sólo de subir o bajar teniendo en cuenta los factores que hay en el boxeo, sino añadiéndole bastantes más. De ahí que diga que las diferencias son mayores, no sólo es una cuestión de kilos, sino de desempeño en multitud de distancias, con suelo y con un clinch que por sí solo estamos viendo que puede ser un apartado capaz de decidir combates. Y a eso añade cortes de peso sustanciales. Dicho de otra forma, subir o bajar de peso no es coger o perder siete kilos.

                        En cuanto a ir dopado está claro que todo profesional está dopado. La diferencia con Pride es que en Pride iban locos y aquí se dopan lo normal, entendiendo como normal el ajustarse al pacto tácito que hay con las autoridades deportivas, que por supuesto han dado por perdida la guerra contra el dopaje hace muchísimo. Actualmente la lucha contra el dopaje es sólo cuestión de imagen, para ofrecer asociados al deporte valores de sacrificio y superación que ayudan a su venta y que mueven al aficionado ingenuo. Este pacto consiste en que te dopes suficientemente bien como para no dar positivo y como para que no me estropees el negocio (que no te dé un yuyu), pero yo, que soy la autoridad deportiva, miro para otro lado siempre que no des esos problemas y haya equilibrio entre un rendimiento espectacular y una determinada imagen acorde a la tradición del deporte.

                        Pero no sólo es que se dopen los mejores, o los profesionales de alto nivel es que hay doping generalizado a niveles muy, pero muy inferiores. Es imposible que no lo haya por las ventajas que aporta a quien lo toma.

                        En Pride lo que ocurría es que no había este "doparse lo normal", que en cierto modo es un doping más o menos "democrático" e igualador (hasta cierto punto, claro), sino que había tal exageración que la mayoría de campeones de Pride tuvieron tras dejar la organización grandes cambios en sus cuerpos, modo de combatir, etc. O un buen periodo de adaptación hasta volver a un doping medio habitual. A mí me da la sensación de que por las reacciones hasta se chutaban cositas el mismo día del combate, vamos, poco antes, porque salían algunos desquiciados como perros de presa anfetamínicos.

                        • Torres, aqui puedes ver como todos los rankings P4P los lideran los heavyweights... oh wait!!
                          La división que más vende es la de los pesados.Un LHW bueno va subir (o a quedarse, porque a menudo les cuesta más dar la más ligera) a conquistar el título de campeón del mundo de los pesos pesados.No va a bajar el campeón, ¿por qué? Pues porque la división de pesados da más pasta, por eso mismo la división anterior es una división transicional, de preparación o de jubilación para pesos pesados naturales, que no aguantan los rigores de la pegada ni la fortaleza del encaje de la división reina pero que pueden dar el peso.

                          Luego ya si nos vamos a divisiones más ligeras no tiene nada que ver ya que están muy alejadas de la HW y por tanto no son divisiones transicionales, sino divisiones en sí mismas.

                            If beating Chan Sung Jung while suffering from a broken foot and kidney stones wasn't enough to move Aldo past GSP, will anything be enough?

                            Hey, everybody gets caught, right? Of course, if you leave your hands down and act a fool, it increases the odds of it happening. But this is Anderson Silva we're talking about, after all. How will he respond?

                            We suspected Weidman had the skill to be a UFC star. Now he has the signature win. Knocking out Anderson Silva? That's something nobody is forgetting any time soon. Weidman says it's just the beginning.

                            UFC's flyweight champ did everything right against John Moraga, showing the full scope of his pound-for-pound abilities en route to his first non-decision Octagon-bound victory.

                            "Showtime" debuts on the pound-for-pound list at No. 7. He's showcased an ability to win standing or grounded, striking or submission. If Pettis can avoid more serious injury problems, he could soon approach the top of this group.

                            His first title defense against Antonio Silva was, with respect to "Bigfoot," a bit of a gimme. The second one is where it's at: Velasquez-Junior dos Santos III in October. Mark it down on your calendar.

                            The bantamweight division is no longer on (Dominick) Cruz control thanks to this Brazilian phenom. Forget waiting for the champ; Barao looks to defend the interim title (again) later this year.

                            Color us all impressed, Gil. You might not have won the title against Ben Henderson, but it didn't feel like you really lost, either. Up next is an on-paper war with Diego Sanchez. If this were 2009 we'd be discussing a sure-fire brawl.

                            1. Jon Jones (18-1)

                            Facing an undersized opponent he was expected to handle with ease, Jones still impressed in his April 27 demolition of Chael Sonnen. The first-round TKO tied “Bones” with Tito Ortiz for a record fifth defense of the UFC light heavyweight title and, more importantly, paved the way for even bigger and more competitive bouts. The 26-year-old will face Swedish “Mauler” Alexander Gustafsson in the main event of UFC 165 on Sept. 21.

                            2. Georges St. Pierre (24-2)

                            St. Pierre kept his chokehold on the 170-pound class by dominating Nick Diaz in a five-round rout at UFC 158, adding the brash Californian to a list of victims which includes Carlos Condit, Jake Shields, Jon Fitch, B.J. Penn and Matt Hughes. When he returns at November’s UFC 167, St. Pierre will have to deal with another tough challenger in Johny Hendricks.

                            3. Jose Aldo (23-1)

                            The featherweight division’s Brazilian ace was not at his leg-kicking best at UFC 163, thanks to a foot injury sustained early in the bout; but, as champions do, Aldo found a way to win. When challenger Chan Sung Jung separated his shoulder in the fourth round, Aldo pounced on his wounded foe and pounded out his fifth consecutive title defense. While the Nova Uniao fighter continues to discuss a potential move up to lightweight, there are plenty of 145-pound challengers hungry for a shot, including Ricardo Lamas and Chad Mendes.

                            4. Anderson Silva (33-5)

                            For the first time in 17 UFC appearances, Silva’s night ended without his hand being raised at UFC 162. After taunting, baiting and clowning Chris Weidman for little more than a round, the Brazilian met his demise when the challenger connected with a left hook and follow-up punches to put a shocking and abrupt end to Silva’s championship reign 1:18 into round two. Until he steps into the Octagon again, the debate will rage on as to why “The Spider” suffered the first loss of his UFC career. Was it his apparent disregard for Weidman’s skills or was it something deeper, such as a waning motivation to compete? Silva took up UFC President Dana White on his offer of an immediate rematch and will try to take back his belt at UFC 168 in December.

                            5. Cain Velasquez (12-1)

                            Velasquez celebrated Memorial Day in Las Vegas with his first successful defense of the UFC heavyweight strap. The sport’s top big man steamrolled Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva at UFC 160, setting up an October rubber match with Junior dos Santos, whom Velasquez dominated across five rounds in December to take back the belt. Dos Santos remains the only blemish on Velasquez’s record, which includes first-round finishes of Silva (twice), Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Brock Lesnar.

                            6. Chris Weidman (10-0)

                            For months, Weidman claimed he was the man to dethrone reigning middleweight champion and pound-for-pound king Anderson Silva. In the UFC 162 main event, he backed up his talk, knocking out the Brazilian a little more than a minute into the second frame. The Serra-Longo Fight Team member has demonstrated rapid progression in each fight, and his blend of wrestling, jiu-jitsu and constantly improving standup makes him a formidable obstacle for any potential challenger. Weidman will attempt to repeat his feat and prove that his win over Silva was no fluke when they rematch on Dec. 28.

                            7. Demetrious Johnson (17-2-1)

                            There is “Mighty Mouse,” and then there is the rest of the flyweight division. The UFC’s littlest champ used his unparalleled speed and potent ground game to place challenger John Moraga firmly in the latter camp on July 27, when Johnson scored his long-desired first finish in the Octagon via fifth-round armbar. With wins over Joseph Benavidez, Ian McCall and John Dodson, Johnson’s only problem now is finding a suitable challenger. One may have emerged on Sept. 4, as Benavidez blitzed Jussier da Silva at UFC Fight Night 28, but in the meantime, Johnson has been discussing the possibility of moving up the scale for a super fight.

                            8. Anthony Pettis (17-2)

                            Pettis needed five rounds and the remarkable “Showtime” kick to wrest the WEC belt from Benson Henderson in 2010, but he required far less time to earn his second victory over “Smooth” and become the new UFC lightweight king. In the UFC 164 headliner, Pettis softened his opponent with a series of brutal body kicks, then locked in a fight-ending armbar with 29 seconds left in round one. About the only thing that went wrong for Pettis was a knee injury he suffered while checking a kick. Fortunately, the ailment was diagnosed as a sprain, which should keep the Roufusport standout out for approximately two months. When he returns, a date with T.J. Grant awaits.

                            9. Benson Henderson (19-3)

                            After seven consecutive triumphs to begin his UFC career, “Smooth” relinquished his lightweight crown to the same man who snatched WEC gold from his clutches in December 2010: Anthony Pettis. The MMA Lab product had no answer for Pettis’ dynamic attack at UFC 164, as “Showtime” had Henderson reeling with a series of hard body kicks before finishing the fight with an armbar from guard in the opening frame. The emphatic nature of the loss means there will be no immediate rematch for Henderson, but his impressive track record figures to keep him booked in significant fights for the foreseeable future.

                            10. Renan Barao (30-1)

                            Barao successfully defended the UFC interim bantamweight strap against 22-year-old prospect Michael McDonald at UFC on Fuel TV 7 in February. With a resume that includes triumphs over Brad Pickett, Scott Jorgensen, Urijah Faber and the aforementioned “Mayday,” Barao has earned his place atop the division, even if his title comes with a “temporary” label. A second title defense against Eddie Wineland at UFC 161 fell through when the Brazilian suffered a foot injury; the bout has been rebooked for UFC 165 on Sept. 21.

                                La división que más vende es la de los pesados.Un LHW bueno va subir (o a quedarse, porque a menudo les cuesta más dar la más ligera) a conquistar el título de campeón del mundo de los pesos pesados.No va a bajar el campeón, ¿por qué? Pues porque la división de pesados da más pasta, por eso mismo la división anterior es una división transicional, de preparación o de jubilación para pesos pesados naturales, que no aguantan los rigores de la pegada ni la fortaleza del encaje de la división reina pero que pueden dar el peso.

                                Luego ya si nos vamos a divisiones más ligeras no tiene nada que ver ya que están muy alejadas de la HW y por tanto no son divisiones transicionales, sino divisiones en sí mismas.
