fijaos que ronda no lleva publi, esto es, que ufc estara soltando mosca de cojones...

ESPECTACULAR la cara que me lleva lyoto,no estoy de acuedo en eso de que weid le gana de 10 al menos 9,no en el caso de que lyoto asimilase el hecho de que contra éste hombre es muymal asunto llegar a finalizar los 5 rounds,porque a mr perfect (calificativo que le doy yo personalmente) ganarle así es cosa harto improbable,al igual que el hecho ed ganarle a secas.

Aún en esas lyoto tiene mas papeletas de perder que weid,pero tmb mas papaletas de poder ganar apretando desde el principio al precio que sea que no estar viendolas venir,aunqu el hechode verlas venir es en gran parte fruto de cuanto y lo bien que te presiona el colega.

esto es una bola,la pescadilla que me muerde la cola...pues si, el tío es un puto fenomeno,verlo es disfrutar aun sin transmitir un pimiento...igual esto ultimo es a la larga beneficioso,sin grandes alabadores ultras cuando llegue el momento de la caída no debería de tener detrás a tanto lobo agazapado para morder a degüello,como pasa con los que son tremendamente idolatrados u odiados.

como aficinado a este deporte con,quieras que no,algun añito y luchas vistas en lo alto,weidman es un manual de como hacerlo practicamente todo muy muy bien.


cola,eso ed que come la moral que un tío te pida mas guerra puede ser,pero si recula y recula cuando llegan crudas le tenemos en modo humano vulnerable y ahí cae cualquiera en cualquier momento...desde el principio a por él,si caes caiste pero especular o querer hacerlo poco a poco va a ser que no con éste

???

Yo lo que digo es que durante el 4 asalto y en el ataque final de Machida, el chaval en vez de parecer que sufre o demostrar alguna debilidad, te sale con cara de entereza y te dice con el gesto " vamos vamos ".

Si tienes oportunidad de ver el final de la pelea es epico, lo que pasa es que creo que no os habeis fijado. Machida saca una rafaga con todo lo que le queda, Weidman se cubre, cuando acaba la rafaga Machida para porque necesita aire y se queda mirandolo, Weidman baja la guardia y lo mira como diciendo " eso es todo? vamos va! " y Machida con cara de estar flipando empieza a bailar jajajaja la cara de Lyoto en ese momento es epica, voy a ver si hay gif.

PD- Me mola mucho de Weidman que es muy bravo, no rehuye ni un solo intercambio pero lo hace todo desde el respeto.

no si no lo decia en plan ponerle peros,solo que es un gesto que suele tenerse cuando te ves ya suprior o ganador y aún t quede algo dentro.Si que recuerdo ese momento,incluso hubo algunos otros mas en cada arrión de lyoto,se autoconfirma a si mismo como ganador y es perfecto,lo que digo es que vienen tras "pasarlo mal" en mayor o menor grado y en alguna de esas igual no puedes repetir el gesto porque d ahi no sales y el gesto queda como eso,un simple gesto anecdotico o incluso comico si te llegan malas

Claro, pero si yo estoy peleandome contigo, te tiro una combinacion con todo de la que salgo exhausto y a la que te miro a la cara me estas haciendo un gesto de " no pares hombre, sigue " a mi me minas la moral. Lo minimo que espero es verte la cara un poco peor que el resto de la pelea, y si puedo haber hecho que con mi ataque muestres debilidad es un tanto para mi. Aqui pasa lo contrario, las 2 o 3 veces contadas en la que Lyoto parecia ir in crescendo Weidman en la batalla psicologica le paso por encima. A eso iba cuando remarcaba la entereza que tiene el tio.

Por otra parte, su striking no es el mas vistoso, pero los desplazamientos de Weidman son de 1erisimo nivel, NADIE habia conseguido acortar el ring a Machida con esa superioridad. Noquearlo o ganarle si, pero dominarle la distancia de esa manera NADIE.



JACK SLACK: Como Weidman resolvio el enigma de Machida

If I didn't believe that pound-for-pound is an overused and poorly understood concept, I would be happy to argue the case for Chris Weidman being one of the finest fighters at any weight on the planet.

With his victory over Lyoto Machida last night at UFC 175, Weidman has defeated two of the finest fighters in mixed martial arts history, back to back. And it wasn't because they were cocky, and it wasn't because they were past it, it was because he systematically shut them down and beat them up.

It was a decent night of fights overall—Urijah Faber remained undefeated in the UFC against people without championship belts as he submitted Alex Caceres, Rob Fent showed that the tall man will always be vulnerable to the overhand as he put away George Roop in 2:19, and Ronda Rousey predictably beat Alexis Davis.
But let's not talk about any of that because it all paled in comparison to the main event!

Denying the Second Step

If you have been reading my articles on Lyoto Machida, you will remember that Machida's style is always about forcing that second step and creating the collision. If he can get an opponent to overcommit—step in twice, expecting him to run, and then meet them, he can generate terrific, fight-ending force.

In truth, this is the first time we have seen Machida in with a gifted ring cutter. Seems weird right? Well, frankly there just aren't many good ones out there in MMA right now. Weidman took it one step at a time, staying over his hips and ready to move if something came back at him, just as we discussed last week. He moved Machida to the fence, over and over, and Machida spent large portions of the fight attempting to confuse Weidman with what direction he intended to circle out.


It's great to do this kind of direction switching along the fence, and the sign of a good understanding of ringcraft, but if it is all you are doing, you are fighting a defensive fight and not scoring any points on the cards.


Great example of getting off the fence, but an awful lot of movement to score no meaningful strikes.

Most of the time Machida would attempt to control the lead hand as he circled out. That great favourite of Giorgio Petrosyan, the pivot master.



Pressure is a very real force in a fight. If you are near the ropes or fence, waiting to counter, the stakes suddenly get a lot higher than if you were striking out in the open. Machida was reluctant to step in with his counters, he wasn't really given the opportunity to all that often, and when he did, he often missed.

The other great danger is that you cannot kick well while on the back foot. Kicking requires a transition of weight forwards, into the target, and places you on one leg. We mentioned this last week with a couple of clips from the Quinton Jackson bout. If you do all of that near the fence, while the opponent is coming forward, you are playing with fire. When Machida did kick while Weidman was pressuring him, the kick would land, but Machida would be fighting off a deep takedown and wound up exerting a great deal of his energy.



Weidman used kicks liberally throughout the bout, presumably because of the success others have had with low kicks against Machida, but also Weidman feinted kicks well and stepped in behind them.


The Chris feints a kick to get Machida to the fence, circles along the fence with Machida, and chops at the trailing leg.




Saenchai Sor. Weidman.

When Weidman did step it up in the third round, and actually attempt takedowns, he had great success. I previously stated that there simply isn't enough footage of Weidman, but the more I see of him the more I pick up on the little signatures he leaves in exchanges. This double right hand (remember that?) into a takedown as they hit the fence is a beaut.



I won't go into great detail on the ground exchanges, we've got enough to get through already, but Weidman stuffed a single butterfly hook into that “lockdown” position we spoke about last week, and attempted to stand for a knee cut pass.

The Problem with Pressure

Being on the back foot is hard, but pressure fighting brings its own set of disadvantages. You have to be on a hair trigger all the time so that you don't 1) lose the opponent and let them off the hook, 2) end up chasing, or 3) eat unnecessary strikes. Moving towards the fence over and over is easy, but doing it while being cognisant of the other guy waiting to take your head off is a slog.

By round four, Weidman had eaten a few kicks, and had been moving forward for 15 minutes, and for a moment he let his foot off the gas. If you were just watching the two of them, you wouldn't notice, but factor in the cage position and you'd realize that the same fight was happening, but out in the open. There was no cage to Machida's back, there was nothing to punish him for missing strikes and there was plenty of room for him to move.
It was in this round which Machida landed his usual counters with great accuracy.


Notice the cage position, the lack of pressure, and the freedom of movement which Machida has.

After ringing Weidman's bell with a couple of left hands, Machida landed more body kicks as he moved Weidman to the fence for the first time. What you will have noticed throughout the bout is that both men were throwing many snap kicks with the ball of the foot (koshi in Japanese) to the body.



I've been saying these are the future since Katsunori Kikuno fought Eddie Alvarez to a stalemate on the feet years ago. Now guys like Yancy Medeiros, Kyoji Horiguchi, James Kraus and a ton of others are throwing them consistently and they are winding opponents who just don't expect it.

Hand Fighting

After a moment of success on the buzzer in the fourth, Machida suddenly realized that he could step in through the wake of Weidman's kicks, just as Weidman had been doing to shoot takedowns on Machida. The next four or five times Weidman kicked, he was hammered with counter punches.



What happened next was fascinating. For the second time this year, in a title fight, both fighters went to the hand fight. This so rarely happens in other fights, but in both Robbie Lawler versus Johny Hendricks, and Lyoto Machida versus Chris Weidman, we have seen extensive work at trapping range.



When both men can wrestle, and strike, and use hand traps well, the hand fight becomes a far more important place. Both men did decent work out of it, and worked in for collar ties and knees, but Weidman capped off his performance by wobbling Machida with that same brilliant elbow he used to knock out Mark Munoz.

Weidman picked up a hard fought decision through his excellent footwork, his tremendous pressure and his undeniably sturdy jawline. Machida put up a cracking performance and it is hard to see him not fighting his way back to another title shot on that form, though he will need to make serious amendments to his game to prevent Weidman from walking him down for three rounds again.

Y nadie habla del suplex que hizo Weidman con el combate ya avanzado?

pd: espero no confundirme con el combate de Frankie vs BJ que fue horas después

Lo de ronda es increible, solo le queda Kat Zingano y veremos haber que hace rin nakai ante Miesa tate para ver si lo que promete esta chica es cierto y se ha merendado toda la division.

Vaya una bestia parda

PD: lo de ronsa Vs Santos no creo que llegue a darse , ahora por parte de ronda unos meses de vacaciones y seguramente cuando venza a estas 2 no se lo que le va a quedar a esta o se retirará.

Yo creo que molaría ver un combate de Ronda contra un tío xD

bastan con que cyborg quiera bajar a 135

Cyborg creo se ha dicho que en 135 es un peligro para su salud yo veo más un combate a peso pactado y que ronda suba un poco más que puede . Luego falta que ufc quiera ficharla y tb que cyborg este limpia que no se me da a mi....

a mi no me llamaria absolutamente nada un enfrentamiento con cyborg, si es la campeona de 135 yo quiero que pelle con gente de 135 con el titulo en juego, no que suba para pelear sin el titulo contra hermafroditas q se meten hormonas masculinas y tienen venas ahi en los brazos como el cuello de chiquetete, prefiero ver a cyborg contra la del BJJ del equipo de wanderlei silva antes q contra ronda, igual q no quiero q suba para q enfrente a gina carano q ahora mismo no pintaria nada

Pues entonces ?? Qué haces con ronda ?? Cat zíngano y ya esta ? Se las ha limpiado a todas ,menos mal que aprovecha ahora para operarse la rodilla parar el resto del año y rodar alguna película


A mi tampoco me gusta el enfrentamiento con santos cada una en su peso y ya


Enviado desde mi iPhone con Tapatalk

hombre no se yo tampoco conozco que roster hay xd, pero si preferiria q se enfrentara a cualquier luchadora honrada de invicta de 135 (ahora q parece q UFC ha medio comprado invicta), a q enfrente a una hormonada en 145...no veo positivo q ufc ficha a esa/eso a no ser q haya una division de heavyeights de tias(q no parece el caso), pero como bien dices ahora q va a tomarse un descanso habra tiempo para q puedan surgir nuevas retadoras, lo de Rin Nakai es una opcion bastante buena por el tema publicitario con japon(pero claro vencer a miesha tate es jodido de cojones, no es como vencer a cualquier japonesa de ahi), y cat zingano weno...entre la lesion, el tiempo de inactividad y el tema del marido...no se si la veo yo con mucho animo de ser contender, jessica eye creo q podria merecerlo ya q venia de una division menor de peso y fue como underdog en sus 2 mathces en UFC y en los dos dio muchisimo la cara contra gente tan top en la division como kauffman y davis

cuando ronda limpie la division, que esta a puntito, ufc puede optar por seguir soltandole carnada para que se entretenga o:
