Inca un week-end plin de actiune in cusca de mma, de aceasta data cu gala UFC on FOX 8, alaturi de nume importante precum Jake Ellenberger, Rory MacDonald, Liz Carmouche, Melvin Guillard, Ed Herman si nu in ultimul rand capul de afis ac acestei gale, meciul pentru titlu dintre Demetrious Johnson si John Moraga. Pana atunci, nu pierderi Road to the Octogon si o noua perspectiva a ceea ce inseamna o cariera de succes in artele martiale mixte: http://www.ufc.com/media/ufc-fox8-rtto
Nu cred ca mai exista inca oameni pasionati de artele martiale mixte care sa nu fi aflat ca cel considerat a fi cel mai bun luptator de mma al tuturor timpurilor, Anderson Silva, a cedat in cele din urma centura categoriei mijlocii mai tanarului sau adversar Chris Weidman, fiind invins prin tko la capatul unui meci pe care il puteti revedea aici.
7 ani si 15 victorii in UFC, 10 meciuri in care si-a aparat cu succes centura, si aceasta singura infrangere intr-un mod cu totul neasteptat a pus pe ganduri o intreaga comunitate. Multi se asteptau ca Silva sa intampine ceva dificultati, chiar sa piarda, in mare parte din cauza amprentei stabilite de Chael Sonnen in urma ce cu ceva timp: un wrestling foarte bun, capacitatea de a-l tine pe brazilian la sol, mixate cu loviturile puternice si submisiile lui Weidman pareau sa fie cheia succesului pentru american, in nici un caz un knockout “in picioare”.
Primele semne au aparut ca urmare a unei investigatii asupra unui pariu de ordinul milioanelor de dolari in favoarea lui Weidman, dar excluzand asta, pana la urma, oameni excentrici au pariat mai multi bani si in cazul divorturilor din cadrul Casei Regale a Marii Britanii, asa ca n-ar fi chiar ceva iesit din comun.
Dovada insa a venit in cursul zilei de azi, cand mai multe publicatii straine au dezavaluit mai intai declaratia unui apropiat al lui Silva, de asemenea luptator, aproape sigur fiind vorba de Minotauro Nogueira: “If people knew what really happened in the defeat of Anderson, they would be disgusted.” Investigatia a fost preluata inclusiv de cei de la Wall Street Journal, alaturi de alte publicatii internationale de marca, fiind dezvaluit deja o parte din scenariu:
“Anderson Silva teria vendido o cinturão do UFC? O staff do lutador teria sido avisado, às 13:00 do dia 6 de julho (dia da luta), em uma suposta reunião envolvendo o presidente do UFC e os corners. A princípio muito contrariados, os corners e Spider teriam se recusado a trocar o cinturão. A aceitação teria vindo através de um suposto pagamento total dos prêmios em torno de US$ 70.000,00 para cada membro do staff, mais um bônus de US$ 400.000,00 para toda a equipe, num total de US$ 23.000.000,00 (vinte e três milhoes de dólares) através da empresa Nike. Mesmo assim, Anderson se recusou a participar.
A sua situação só teria se resolvido após um suposto representante da Nike ameaçar retirar seu patrocínio vitalício do lutador, avaliado em mais de US$ 90.000.000,00 (noventa milhões de dólares) ao longo da sua carreira. Assim, combinaria que Anderson seria derrotado pro pontos, porém a apatia que se abateu sobre o lutador fez com que Chris Weidman, que absolutamente nao participou desta negociação, nocauteasse Anderson. Dana White, chefão do UFC, aplaudiu a luta. E segundo fontes obscuras o Rizzo, teria garantido também, que Anderson teria a sua revanche quando quisesse para recuperar o cinturão novamente.” – UFC Bahia
“Anderson Silva would have sold the UFC belt? The staff of the fighter would have been warned, at 13:00 on July 6 (day of the fight), in an alleged meeting involving the president of the UFC and corners. The first very upset, the corners and Spider have refused to replace the belt. Acceptance would come across an alleged full payment of premiums of around U.S. $ 70,000.00 for each member of staff, plus a bonus of U.S. $ 400,000.00 for the whole team, a total of U.S. $ 23,000,000.00 (twenty three million dollars) through the company Nike. Still, Anderson refused to participate. Their situation would only be resolved after a supposed representative of Nike threatening to withdraw its sponsorship lifelong fighter, valued at more than U.S. $ 90,000,000.00 (ninety million) throughout his career. So combine that Anderson would be defeated pro points, but the apathy that befell the fighter made Chris Weidman, absolutely not part of this negotiation, to knock out Anderson. Dana White, UFC boss applauded the fight. And according to sources obscure the Rizzo would have ensured also that Anderson would have his revenge when he wanted to regain the belt again.”
Inca o gala antrenanta in contul UFC-ului, cu un Gracie care nu a stralucit deloc la revenirea in octogon in fata unui Kennedy mult mai experimentat, razboiul nemilos al strikingului intre Cub Swanson si Dennis Siver, si doua lupte extrem de disputate, asa cum ne-am obisnuit cand este vorba de Mark Munoz si mai ales Frankie Edgar, totul incheiat cu un main-event incantator.
