<p>Sem lutar desde novembro do ano passado, o brasileiro Vinícius &#8220;Spartan&#8221; Queiroz retorna ao cage do Bellator na noite hoje, às 22h, na edição de número 102 do evento, que acontece em Oklahoma, EUA, e tem em destaque o GP dos pesos pesados. Seu adversário é o veterano Lavar Johnson, ex-UFC e Strikeforce, reconhecido pelo grande poder de nocaute. Apesar disso, o atleta do Team Nogueira está confiante de que passará para a final e conquistará o título inédito do torneio:</p>
<p>“Estou muito confiante para esse combate, sei que meu adversário é muito perigoso, mas acredito nas minhas capacidades. O Lavar Johnson é um nocauteador e tem a mão muito pesada, mas sou mais completo no jogo de muay thai e no chão. Entrei nesse GP para vencer, esse é o meu objetivo e vou alcançá-lo”, afirma Spartan.</p>
<p>Um dos fatores que tranquiliza e deixa Spartan otimista para o duelo é a preparação realizada no Team Nogueira. O peso-pesado contou com a ajuda do especialista de kickboxing Anderson &#8220;Braddock&#8221;, que está no Rio de Janeiro se preparando para a semifinal do Glory 11, que será realizada no próximo dia 22, no Japão.</p>
<p>“O meu camp foi ótimo, procurei aprimorar ainda mais o meu jogo em pé, porque acredito que vá ser importante para essa luta. Treinei muito com o Anderson Braddock, e estou tranquilo, porque dificilmente alguém irá me apresentar mais dificuldade em pé do que ele ”.</p>
<p>Aos 30 anos, Vinícius &#8220;Spartan&#8221; possui um cartel de seis vitórias e três derrotas. A última luta do brasileiro foi no Bellator 80, em novembro de 2012, quando acabou derrotado pelo russo Alexander Volkov. Seu retorno ao cage deveria ter ocorrido em junho, porém, uma lesão no joelho o tirou do Bellator 96, na véspera do evento.</p>

<p>Cain Velasquez é mais um lutador do UFC a defender a ideia de exames antidoping mais rígidos dentro da organização. Atualmente, os atletas são testados por meio de amostras de urina, mas o campeão dos pesos pesados acredita que os exames deveriam ser de sangue, com mais frenquência, e até de surpresa.</p>
<p>&#8220;Existem regras. Nós todos devemos seguir as mesmas regras&#8221;, afirmou Cain.</p>
<p>Esta também é a opinião de outros lutadores do UFC como Júnior Cigano, Georges St-Pierre, Ben Henderson e Daniel Cormier. Para eles, é possível competir em alto rendimento sem fazer uso de esteroides e anabolizantes. Para Cain, a seriedade no controle dos testes vai permitir que adversários que fazem uso de substâncias ilegais não levem vantagem sobre ele na luta:</p>
<p>&#8220;Eu sou um atleta natural. Todos os meus oponentes deveriam ser da mesma forma. Não é justo que aqueles que se dopam tenham uma vantagem&#8221;, reforçou.</p>
<p>Questionado sobre o companheiro de equipe Lavar Johnson, que foi demitido do Ultimate após ser pego no exame antidoping por altos níveis de testosterona, o campeão não titubeou:</p>
<p>&#8220;Acho bom que os testes estejam sendo feitos com mais frequência. Meu pensamento é que ser natural, não se dopar, te mantém no jogo. Aqueles que não seguirem isso estarão fora&#8221;, disparou.</p>
<p>E você, leitor? Está com Cain?</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/cain-velasquez-defende-exames-antidoping-mais-rigorosos-no-uf/">Cain Velasquez defende exame antidoping surpresa no UFC</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<p>Nesta semana, a Comissão Atlética da Califórnia informou que o peso pesado Lavar Johnson foi reprovado no exame antidoping realizado após o UFC 157, em fevereiro. Altos níveis de testosterona foram revelados na amostra de urina do atleta. Um novo teste foi feito, e novamente a irregularidade foi apontada. Johnson ficou em uma situação complicada dentro do Ultimate, já que foi finalizado por Stefan Struve em maio de 2012, depois lesionou a virilha e com isso saiu do UFC on Fox 5 em dezembro, e acabou de perder por pontos para Brendan Schaub.</p>
<p>A soma de todos estes problemas e o repúdio de Dana White à TRT (reposição de testosterona) levaram a organização a cortar Lavar Johnson de seu plantel de lutadores.</p>
<p>Outros dois atletas flagrados foram Riki Fukuda e Alex Caceres, ambos testados após o UFC Japão, no começo de março.</p>
<p>Caceres foi pego pelo uso de maconha e além de ter sua vitória sobre Kyung Ho Kang transformada em n<em>o contest,</em> está suspenso por seis meses. O peso-galo ainda terá de passar por um programa de reabilitação e ser testado novamente ao fim do processo.</p>
<p>Já Riki Fukuda não teve a mesma sorte. Após a derrota para Brad Tavares e o resultado dos seus exames apontarem o uso de estimulantes (norpseudoefedrina, fenilpropanolamina e efedrina) o peso médio também foi demitido do Ultimate.</p>

<p>Lavar Johnson se machucou a poucos dias do UFC on Fox 5, deixando ele e Brendan Schaub fora do evento. Porém, recuperado da contusão, Lavar fará a luta com Schaub no UFC 157, dia 23 de fevereiro, em Anaheim. O site BJPenn.com publicou a informação nesta segunda-feira.</p>
<p>Lavar, na ocasião, se desculpou por meio de seu Twitter e torceu para que Brendan ainda conseguisse lutar no UFC on Fox 5, ocorrido nesse sábado, 8 de dezembro, no qual Ben Henderson defendeu o cinturão dos leves contra Nate Diaz.</p>
<p>O card do UFC 157, além de trazer a inédita luta feminina na organização, entre Ronda Rousey e Liz Carmouche, terá também os embates entre Urijah Faber e Ivan Menjivar, e Dan Henderson contra Lyoto Machida. Quem vencer esta última, vai com tudo para cima do cinturão dos meio-pesados, hoje afivelado na cintura de Jon Jones.</p>
<p>Confira o card (parcial) a seguir:</p>

<p>Lavar Johnson suffered an injury just days before UFC on Fox 5, resulting in his fight with Brendan Schaub being dropped from the event. However, the match-up is being rescheduled and will likely take place at UFC 157 on Feb. 23 in Anaheim, Calif., according to GRACIMAG.com sources.</p>
<p>Following his withdraw from the card, Lavar asked forgiveness via Twitter and expressed his hope that Brendan should still fight on the UFC on Fox 5 card, which took place last Saturday, Dec. 8, where Ben Henderson defended his lightweight belt against Nate Diaz.</p>
<p>UFC 157 is headlined by the company&#8217;s first female fight, a match between newly crowned women&#8217;s champ Ronda Rousey and Liz Carmouche. Additionally, reports say the card will feature a match-up between Urijah Faber and Ivan Menjivan, as well as a light heavyweight bout between Dan Henderson and Lyoto Machida.</p>
<p>News of the Schaub-Johnson match was first reported by <a href="http://mmajunkie.com/news/2012/12/brendan-schaub-vs-lavar-johnson-now-targeted-for-ufc-157">MMAjunkie.com</a>.</p>

<p>The ghost of injury rears its head yet again in the world&#8217;s premier MMA organization. Michael Chiesa, winner of the 15th season of the The Ultimate Fighter reality show, has been pulled from the card for UFC on Fox 5, which takes place Saturday, Dec. 8, in Seattle.</p>
<p>Chiesa was preparing to face Marcus LeVesseur in the last bout on the undercard, but, according to information released by the UFC, had to be dropped due to sickness.</p>
<p>Chiesa holds an undefeated record, with six of his eight wins coming via submission. The last time the American lightweight tapped out an opponent was in the reality show final, when he subdued Al Iaquinta with a rear-naked choke.</p>
<p>Another fighter who is out of the Seattle event is Lavar Johnson, who was scheduled to face Brendan Schaub on the main card. Johnson suffered a training injury and asked forgiveness of his opponent over Twitter.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d been waiting for this fight. I hope we can fight in the future. Once again, sorry, friend,&#8221; posted a regretful Lavar.</p>
<p>As it stands, the card for the Dec. 8 event features B.J. Penn making his octagon return against Rory MacDonald, Mauricio &#8220;Shogun&#8221; against Alexander Gustafsson, and Ben Henderson defending his lightweight strap against Nate Diaz.</p>

<p>A giant Dutchman who prefers submissions to knockouts? It even sounds odd, but that&#8217;s Stefan Struve, one of the winners of the best-submission bonus this Saturday night in Las Vegas, having pulled guard and coaxed the tapout from Lavar Johnson.</p>
<p>From atop his 2.10-meter frame, Struve has come by 16 of his 24 wins via submission. Now arriving at the six knockouts he has to his name, he did so by blending his grappling with striking, unlike other top Dutch fighters, like Alistair Overeem, for instance.</p>
<p>Check out Struve&#8217;s fighting style in the following video:</p>

<p>Um gigante Holandês que prefere finalizações a nocautes? Pode até soar estranho, mas assim é Stefan Struve, que faturou o prêmio de melhor finalização na noite deste sábado, em Las Vegas, ao puxar para a guarda botar Lavar Johnson para dar os três tapinhas. </p>
<p>Do alto de seus 2,10m de altura, Struve venceu 16 dos seus 24 triunfos (cinco derrotas) por finalização. No entanto, na maior parte dos seus seis nocautes, chegou ao feito mesclando muito bem a luta de chão com a trocação, um estilo diferente dos demais lutadores holandeses de sucesso, como Alistair Overeem, por exemplo.</p>
<p>No vídeo abaixo, confira o jeito Struve de lutar:</p>

<p>UFC 146 is going down this Saturday in Las Vegas, and there&#8217;s no shortage of expectations surrounding what&#8217;s about to transpire there. In the main event of the evening, heavyweight title-holding knockout artist Junior Cigano has a high-caliber Jiu-Jitsu specialist in Frank Mir challenging him for his strap.</p>
<p>With his crisp boxing, to nine out of ten experts the current champ is the odds-on favorite to keep his title—the GRACIEMAG.com team too is convinced another “Cigano” win is imminent.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="UFC 146 : JUNIOR DOS SANTOS VS FRANK MIR  TRAILER" width="650" height="366" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kfFgEajHyFo?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>The opinion is shared by Gilbert “Durinho” Burns, who has the utmost confidence in his friend and boxing coach Luiz Dórea, and his money is on a knockout from the reigning title holder.</p>
<p>“Cigano is a monster of an athlete, and he began his career in Jiu-Jitsu. Rodrigo Artilheiro was with me at the TUF Brazil house, and he mentioned how crazy his endurance is. He&#8217;s 28 years old, started at 22—he hasn&#8217;t been in MMA long but has already shown what he&#8217;s made of. I don&#8217;t think this one leaves the first round—Cigano drops him. But even if it does go longer, Cigano is in much better physical shape than Frank Mir,” opined Durinho, echoing statements made by Mir, to whom the longer the fight goes, the better.</p>
<p>If you were in Frank Mir&#8217;s place, what would you do? What would you do against a fighter with heavy hands and pinpoint accuracy?</p>
<p>“If I were Mir, I&#8217;d try to take him to the ground. I&#8217;d try to clinch, get the takedown. I&#8217;d try to be Rousimar “Toquinho” in there; I&#8217;d attack his heel, and always stay clear of Cigano&#8217;s hands. To beat a monster like that, you have to frenetically work at taking it to the ground. I&#8217;d work on improving my footwork, get good at faking punches and try capitalizing from the clinch. Training would have to be like this: getting the takedown, working on wrestling and going for the foot when on the ground,” said Gilbert in analysis.</p>
<p>The TUF Brazil participant doesn&#8217;t, however, feel Mir will be successful in his mission.</p>
<p>“I expect a first-round knockout from the Brazilian. Cigano&#8217;s punching is really crisp, he&#8217;s healthier for being younger, he has the confidence from being champion and he does an excellent job. All Cigano has to do is be calm and fight,” wagered the 2011 Jiu-Jitsu lightweight champion of the world.</p>
<p>“I think Frank Mir is going to mess up after the first punch lands. Being the champion, in my opinion Cigano doesn&#8217;t even need to press the action; he can just be calm, do his footwork and jab, because the knockout will surface,” said the black belt training partner of Vitor Belfort in closing.</p>
<p>Now what do you think, will the outcome of the fight be the one everyone is expecting? To you, can Frank Mir pull off a surprise? What would your strategy be?</p>

<p>O UFC 146 que rola neste sábado, em Las Vegas, vem cheio de expectativas. No combate principal da noite, o campeão dos pesados e nocauteador Junior Cigano encara o desafiante bom de Jiu-Jitsu Frank Mir.</p>
<p>Dono de um boxe afiadíssimo, o atual campeão é apontado por nove entre dez especialistas como o favorito para esta peleja – a equipe do GRACIEMAG.com também aposta em Cigano, aliás.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="UFC 146 : JUNIOR DOS SANTOS VS FRANK MIR  TRAILER" width="650" height="366" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kfFgEajHyFo?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Se o chão de Cigano ainda é uma incógnita no UFC, para alguns faixas-pretas de Jiu-Jitsu isso não fará a menor diferença na luta. A verdade é que poucos estão acreditando no queixo de Frank Mir nessa luta.</p>
<p>É o que acha Gilbert &#8220;Durinho&#8221; Burns, que diz confiar plenamente no amigo e treinador Luiz Dórea e aposta em nocaute do atual campeão.</p>
<p>&#8220;O Cigano é um monstro de atleta, e começou a carreira no Jiu-Jitsu. O Rodrigo Artilheiro estava comigo na casa do TUF Brasil e comentou que ele tem um gás sinistro. Ele tem 28 anos, começou com 22, tem pouco tempo de MMA mas já mostrou o seu valor. Eu acho que não passa do primeiro round, o Cigano derruba, mas mesmo se passar as condições físicas do Cigano são bem melhores que a do Frank Mir&#8221;, opina Durinho, ecoando declarações de Mir, para quem quanto mais durasse a luta, melhor.</p>
<p>E se você estivesse no lugar do Frank Mir? O que faria contra um lutador de mão pesada e certeira?</p>
<p>&#8220;Se eu fosse o Mir, eu tentaria derrubar, tentaria o clinche, a queda. Eu tentaria ser um Rousimar Toquinho ali, atacar o calcanhar, e sempre ficar muito esperto com a mão do Cigano. Para ganhar de um monstro assim, só se você trabalhar freneticamente na movimentação para botar para baixo. Eu teria de melhorar minha movimentação de perna, fintar muito bem e tentar aproveitar o clinche. O treino teria de ser este, botar para quedar, trabalhar o wrestling e no chão embolar no pé&#8221;, analisa Gilbert.</p>
<p>O participante do TUF Brasil, no entanto, não acredita que Mir será bem-sucedido na dura missão.</p>
<p>&#8220;Minha expectativa é de nocaute no primeiro round para o brasileiro. O Cigano está com a mão muito afiada, tem mais saúde por ser mais novo, tem a confiança de ser o campeão e tem um jogo de perna muito bom, vai ser nocaute. Confio no treinador Luiz Dórea, que fez um excelente trabalho. Basta o Cigano entrar tranquilo para lutar&#8221;, aposta o campeão mundial de Jiu-Jitsu peso leve em 2011.</p>
<p>&#8220;Acho que o Frank Mir vai errar depois de entrar o primeiro soco. Como campeão, na minha opinião o Cigano nem precisa buscar a luta, tem de ficar tranquilo, trabalhando seu jogo de perna, jabeando, porque o nocaute vai aparecer&#8221;, conclui o faixa-preta parceiro de Vitor Belfort.</p>
<p>E você, acha que o resultado dessa luta será o esperado também? Para você, Frank Mir pode surpreender? Qual seria sua estratégia?</p>

<p>In the main event at UFC—Diaz vs. Miller, the grappling skills of the Cesar Gracie student reigned supreme. Putting in a lively performance, Nate Diaz sunk a guillotine and tapped out Jim Miller in the second round. With the result, Dana White, the president of the UFC, stated that Nick Diaz&#8217;s younger brother shall get a shot at the lightweight title.</p>
<p>Thus, Nate awaits the winner of the August 11 rematch between current champ Ben Henderson and former champ Frankie Edgar. Should Henderson be successful in defending his title, Nate will star in a matchup between two gentle-art lovers. The two regularly don a gi and compete at major IBJJF events. Ben Henderson, for instance, took third at the 2011 Worlds as a brown belt.</p>
<p>Also noteworthy, Nate&#8217;s guillotine earned him and extra 65,000 dollars for being deemed the finest submission of the night. The knockout bonus went to Lavar Johnson for his undoing of Pat Barry. Now on the preliminary card Louis Gaudinot had a riveting encounter with John Lineker that the former won gia guillotine; however, both took home the extra cash for partaking in the “fight of the night.”</p>
<p>The choke seemed to be the go-to move of the evening. Besides the two aforementioned guillotines, Roland Delorme sunk a rear-naked choke on Karlos Vemola for the win. Now this time around Rousimar Toquinho&#8217;s Jiu-Jitsu did him no good, as he ended up getting knocked out by Alan Belcher after failed attempts at getting the submission.</p>
<p>Check out the complete results:</p>

<p>Na luta principal do UFC – Diaz vs Miller, imperou as habilidades no chão do aluno de Cesar Gracie. Numa apresentação movimentada, Nate Diaz aplicou uma justa guilhotina e finalizou Jim Miller no segundo assalto. Com o resultado, Dana White, presidente do UFC, garantiu que o irmão mais novo de Nick Diaz vai ter a chance pelo cinturão de leves.</p>
<p>Sendo assim, Nate aguarda o vencedor do desafio do dia 11 de agosto, entre o atual campeão Ben Henderson e o ex-campeão Frankie Edgar. No caso de vitória para Henderson, Nate protagonizaria um duelo entre dois amantes da arte suave. Ambos costumam vestir o kimono e competem nos grandes eventos da IBJJF. Ben Henderson, por exemplo, ficou em terceiro no Mundial 2011 entre os faixas marrons.</p>
<p>Vale destacar, a guilhotina de Nate valeu mais 65 mil dólares em sua conta bancária, já que foi eleita a finalização da noite. O Nocaute ficou para Lavar Johnson sobre Pat Barry. Nas preliminares, Louis Gaudinot e John Lineker faziam um desafio eletrizante, até Gaudinot ajustar a guilhotina e acabar com as chances do brasileiro. No entanto,ambos levaram a bolada pela luta da noite.  </p>
<p>O estrangulamento foi um dos golpes prediletos da noite. Além das duas guilhotinas citadas, o mata-leão levou Roland Delorme e Karlos Vemola à vitória. No entanto, não fluiu dessa vez o Jiu-Jitsu de Rousimar Toquinho, que acabou nocauteado por Alan Belcher depois de algumas tentativas frustradas de finalização.</p>
