Cine l-a provocat pe Khabib Nurmagomedov (si chiar are sanse sa se lupte cu el)

Cine l-a provocat pana la urma pe Khabib Nurmagomedov? Dupa ce l-a invins pe Conor McGregor, probabil ca intrebarea mai buna ar fi „cine nu l-a provocat pe Khabib Nurmagomedov?” avand in vedere numarul mare de cereri de lupta pe care le primeste actualul campion UFC la categoria Lightweight.

Conor McGregor a cerut revansa, dar pare in acelasi timp impacat cu ideea ca nu o va primi prea curand si a exprimat acest lucru intr-o postare pe Instagram in care explica cum vede el ca a decurs lupta sa cu luptatorul din Dagestan.

Thoughts on my last fight. Round 1. I believe from a sport standpoint, round 1 was his. Top position against the fence. Zero position advancement or damage inflicted. But top position. From a fight standpoint the first round is mine. Actual shots landed and a willingness to engage. Straight left early. Knee to the head on the low shot. Elbows in any and all tie up scenarios. Opponent just holding the legs against the fence for almost the entire round. Round 2 he is running away around the cage before being blessed with a right hand that changed the course of the round, and the fight. It was a nice shot. After the shot I bounced back up to engage instantly, but again he dipped under to disengage. That is the sport and it was a smart move that led to a dominant round, so no issue. Well played. If I stay switched on and give his stand up even a little more respect, that right hand never gets close and we are talking completely different now. I gave his upright fighting no respect in preparation. No specific stand up spars whatsoever. Attacking grapplers/wrestlers only. That won’t happen again. I also gave my attacking grappling no respect. To defense minded. Lessons. Listen to nobody but yourself on your skill set. You are the master of your own universe. I am the master of this. I must take my own advice. Round 3. After the worst round of my fighting career, I come back and win this round. Again walking forward, walking him down, and willing to engage. Round 4. My recovery was not where it could have been here. That is my fault. Although winning the early exchanges in 4, he dips under again and I end up in a bad position with over 3 on the clock. I work to regain position and end up upright, with my back to the fence. A stable position. Here however, I made a critical error of abandoning my over hook at this crucial time, exposing the back, and I end up beaten fair and square. What can I say? It was a great fight and it was my pleasure. I will be back with my confidence high. Fully prepared. If it is not the rematch right away, no problem. I will face the next in line. It’s all me always, anyway. See you soon my fighting fans I love you all ❤

Pe langa superstarul irlandez, Tony Ferguson, actualul numarul 1 in clasamentul UFC la categoria Lightweight, este cel mai indreptatit sa spere ca va fi urmatorul adversar al lui Khabib, mai ales ca atat Dana White, presedintele UFC, cat si reprezentanti din tabara rusului admit ca el ar merita cel mai mult aceasta oportunitate.

Nici nu are sens sa ii mentionam aici pe Floyd Mayweather sau pe Georges St-Pierre.

Cu toate acestea, un luptator surpriza si-a facut loc in randurile numelor vehiculate pentru a lupta impotriva lui Khabib pentru centura de campion. Numele acestui luptator este Ben Askren, fost campion Bellator si ONE Championship la categoria Welterweight (o categorie mai sus decat Khabib).

Ben Askren este un luptator neinvins cu un palmares in MMA de 18 victorii si 1 NC (no contest / meci anulat), care si-a anuntat retragerea oficiala, dar inca se afla sub contract cu organizatia asiatica ONE Championship.

Vestea ca UFC ar urma sa faca un schimb de luptatori cu organizatia ONE a luat amploare, iar schimbul ii priveste pe fostul campion UFC la categoria Flyweight, Demetrious Johnson si campionul ONE la categoria Welterweight, Ben Askren.

Acest lucru vine la doar cateva zile dupa ce fostul campion Bellator si UFC la Lightweight, Eddie Alvarez, a semnat cu organizatia bazata in Singapore.

Acest schimb/transfer de luptatori ar reprezenta prima oara cand doua organizatii mari fac schimb de luptatori si ar putea marca inceputul unei noi ere in lumea MMA-ului.

Now you’re all in big big trouble!

Ben Askren este probabil cel mai bun luptator de care nu au auzit fanii de rand si tocmai de aceea acesta isi doreste sa-si demonstreze valoarea pe cea mai mare scnea a MMA-ului, mai exact, octogonul UFC.

@ColbyCovMMA might get beat up by @TWooodley first but I’m calling dibs on whipping him next. He is despicable

Luptatorul neinvins i-a provocat si pe Georges St-Pierre si Colby Covington, dorindu-si numai lupte cu adversari mari pentru a-si consolida palmaresul.

Haideti sa vedem cateva faze spectaculaose din cariera lui Ben Askren pentru a sti mai bine „cu ce se mananca” stilul sau de lupta, acesta provenind din wrestling.

Voi ce parere aveti? Merita o sansa la titlu impotriva lui Khabib Nurmagomedov? Ati prefera sa-l vedeti mai degraba intr-o confruntare cu Colby Covington sau cu Georges St-Pierre?
