<p>Não será hoje que o MMA entrará na França, tão pouco num futuro próximo. De acordo com uma reportagem da ESPN britânica, o Ministério francês vai continuar a defender a proibição de MMA no país. Citando uma fonte não identificada do Ministério, a matéria disse que a política não mudou, e eventos, espetáculos ou práticas de MMA são proibidos em solo francês.</p>
<p>Além da posição do Ministério, Carole Brettville, presidente do Comitê de Mulheres para a &#8220;Fédération Française du Sport d&#8217;Entreprise&#8221;, disse que ela estava espantada pelo UFC estar fazendo lobby para obter a legalização do esporte no país:</p>
<p>&#8220;Fiquei chocada ao descobrir como UFC estava fazendo lobby na França, especialmente quando ouvi como UFC tolerou declarações e atitudes depreciativas contra as mulheres. Não podemos permitir que uma organização desse tipo destrua todo o trabalho que temos feito para promover a igualdade através do esporte francês&#8221;, disse Brettville.</p>
<p>Lorenzo Fertitta, presidente da Zuffa, fez várias viagens recentes para a França em um esforço para fazer lobby pela legalização do MMA por lá, e também fez paradas em áreas vizinhas.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/ufc-ufc-ainda-com-portas-fechadas-franca/">UFC ainda com portas fechadas na França</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<p>MMA in France is not happening today. Maybe not for a long time.</p>
<p>According to a report by <a href="http://www.espn.co.uk/ufc/sport/story/223745.html#">ESPN (U.K.)</a>, the French Ministry will continue to uphold their ban on MMA in the country. Citing an unnamed source from the Ministry, the report said the policy has not changed and no events, shows or practices of MMA are permitted on French soil.</p>
<p>In addition to the Ministry&#8217;s stance, Carole Brettville, Women&#8217;s Committee for Federation Francaise du Sport d&#8217;Entreprise President, told the outlet that she was flabbergasted that the UFC was lobbying to get the sport legalized in the country.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was appalled to find out how UFC was lobbying in France, especially when [told] how UFC has tolerated derogatory statements and attitudes against women,&#8221; she said. &#8220;We cannot allow such an organization to destroy all the work we have done to promote equality through French sports.&#8221;</p>
<p>Zuffa chairman Lorenzo Fertitta has made numerous recent trips to France in an effort to lobby for MMA&#8217;s legalization there, as well as making stops in surrounding territories.</p>
<p>UFC officials didn&#8217;t immediately reply to emails asking for comment regarding the French ban.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/ufc-continues-facing-roadblocks-in-mmas-french-legalization/">UFC continues facing roadblocks in MMA’s French legalization</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<p>Que Vitor Belfort vem passando o carro sobre seus últimos adversários, isso todos vimos. Mas se há alguns meses perguntássemos a Dana White se o brasileiro teria no futuro próximo uma nova chance ao título dos médios, a resposta seria não.</p>
<p>De acordo com o dirigente do UFC, a forma como Anderson Silva venceu Belfort no UFC 126 (com uma ponteira no queixo), em fevereiro de 2011, foi contundente demais para permitir uma revanche tão próxima. Mas, com o tempo, tal pensamento mudou. De lá para cá, Vitor venceu quatro de suas cinco lutas, todas elas por nocaute ou finalização. Perdeu apenas para o campeão dos meio-pesados, Jon Jones, quando ainda deu um susto no americano ao encaixar uma chave de braço que machucou Jones.</p>
<p>Após derrotar o último detentor do cinturão dos médios do Strikeforce, Luke Rockhold, Vitor Belfort recuperou totalmente a moral com o Ultimate. Em entrevista ao site &#8220;MMA Junkie&#8221;, o faixa-preta de Carlson Gracie afirmou que não pedirá para enfrentar o vencedor de Anderson Silva ou Chris Weidman, apesar de achar que merece:</p>
<p>&#8220;Não acho que agora seja hora de pedir (para lutar pelo cinturão até 84kg). É hora de merecer. Estes são meus valores. Na vida temos de fazer por merecer. Eu vou para a academia todos os dias, treino duro. Sei que vou trazer aquele título, mas não é sobre esperar o tempo certo, é sobre fazer o meu tempo. Você não pode ir contra os resultados, então olhe os meus resultados. É isso que quero dizer. Algumas pessoas merecem, outras não. Alguns tentam chegar ao título falando, sem merecer. Acredito que eu, em todas as áreas da minha vida, faço por merecer&#8221;.</p>
<p>Belfort ainda destacou que não ouviu nenhuma promessa do Ultimate sobre ser o próximo desafiante, apesar de saber que com seus resultados, isso seria provável:</p>
<p>&#8220;Dana White, Lorenzo Fertitta, eles são os promotores das lutas, e eu os respeito muito. Até agora não ouvi nada deles, e não sei o que pode estar se passando, o que sei é que servi a organização muito bem. Estou fazendo lutas principais da noite, vencendo, chocando a todos. Estou bem aqui e eles sabem disso. Agora é questão de esperar e ver se fiz o bastante&#8221;.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/belfort-se-ve-merecedor-de-luta-pelo-cinturao-nao-se-pode-ir-contra-os-resultados/">Belfort aceita lutar pelo cinto dos médios: “Fiz por merecer”</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MMA is the fastest growing sport in the world, and making the most of the momentum, the UFC is on a mission to get it into the Olympics. “We&#8217;re aware that the sports have already been determined for the Rio Games, so we&#8217;re working on the Olympics after that,” UFC co-owner Lorenzo Fertitta is quoted as saying in Brazil&#8217;s &#8220;Estadão&#8221; newspaper.</p>
<p>For the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, the IOC has picked rugby and golf as the extra sports, but Lorenzo has been working behind the scenes on the 2020 Games, for which a host nation has not yet been established: “We had lots of positive responses from members of the International Olympic Committee, including Carlos Nuzman. I know it will take some time to educate people but if you take a look at our sport, you can see it&#8217;s a combination of several Olympic sports: boxing, Greco-Roman wrestling, taekwondo and judo. That&#8217;s what mixed martial arts are.”</p>
<p>For the sport to be part of the Olympics, it first needs to pass through a number of prerequisites, like having an International Federation to oversee the sport, a certain number of countries practicing the sport, and broad popularity, among other things. “MMA should already be in the Olympics. All you have to do is take a look at the sports already in the Games: boxing, where there&#8217;s punching; taekwondo, where you can punch and kick; judo, where there are submissions; and wrestling. Everything we do in MMA is already in an Olympic sport. I feel it should be added to the program soon,” remarked UFC president Dana White, who is already keenly tuned in to the vote for the host city, which shall take place September 7, 2013, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.</p>
<p>The candidates to host the 2020 Olympic Games are: Rome, Madrid, Istanbul, Baku, Tokyo, and Doha.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/lorenzo-fertitta-targets-olympic-mma-in-2020/">Lorenzo Fertitta targets Olympic MMA in 2020</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>O co-proprietário do UFC, Lorenzo Fertitta e o governador do Distrito Federal, Agnelo Queiroz, estiveram reunidos nesta quarta-feira, segundo a imprensa brasileira. Na pauta, uma possível edição do UFC no próximo dia 21 de abril de 2012, quando a capital do país celebra 52 anos, como informa Junior Samurai.</p>
<p>Segundo o secretário-adjunto do conselho do governo, Cleyton dos Santos, a edição do Ultimate seria um presente para o povo candango no dia do aniversário da cidade, a quarta mais populosa do país. “Temos total interesse em apoiar a vinda do UFC. Eles ficaram de nos dar um posicionamento em dez dias para fechar a data, e têm uma pretensão muito forte de fazer o evento na capital do Brasil”, disse ele ao jornal &#8220;Correio Braziliense&#8221;.</p>
<p>Lorenzo Fertitta parece de fato empolgado com o Brasil. Nos últimos dias, o dirigente esteve em Recife e Salvador, cidades que ao lado de São Paulo, Manaus e Brasília, estão cotadas para sediarem etapas do UFC.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/governo-quer-ufc-para-animar-aniversario-de-brasilia/">Governo quer UFC para animar aniversário de Brasília</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<p>Co-owner of the UFC Lorenzo Fertitta and the governor of Brazil&#8217;s federal disctrict, Agnelo Queiroz, met this Wednesday, according to the Brazilian press. On the agenda, the possibility of holding a UFC on the 21st of April 2012 to celebrate the nation&#8217;s capital turning 52, as our collaborator Junior Samurai reports.</p>
<p>According to the governor&#8217;s spokesman, Cleyton dos Santos, the Ultimate Fighting Championship event would be a gift to the people on the birthday of the city, the countries fourth most populous. “We are totally in favor of the UFC coming. They will give us their position on holding an event on the date within ten days, and there is a strong likelihood of holding the event in Brazil&#8217;s capital,” he told the “Correio Braziliense” newspaper.</p>
<p>Lorenzo Fertitta does indeed seem excited about Brazil. In recent days, Fertitta was in the cities Recife and Salvador, places that, alongside São Paulo, Manaus and Brasília, are tipped to host future UFC events.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/governor-wants-ufc-to-spice-up-brasilias-birthday/">Governor wants UFC to spice up Brasilia’s birthday</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<p>Rio de Janeiro won&#8217;t be the only Brazilian state with the privilege of hosting a UFC show. This Tuesday it was announced that the Sambódromo venue in the city of Manaus will be the stage for the August 2012 UFC event. Omar Aziz, Amazonas state governor, and UFC co-owner Lorenzo Fertitta made the announcement shortly after holding a meeting together, according to Junior Samurai.</p>
<p>The venue has a 100,000-spectator capacity, which would allow for the possibility of breaking the attendance record set in Toronto, Canada, where over 55,000 spectators attended UFC 129 in April.</p>
<p>“Imagine all those people from around the world getting to see Manaus and the state of Amazonas. That would produce a major legacy for our city,” said Governor Aziz. The force of MMA in the state of Amazonas has been on display since 2003, when Wallid Ismail set up the maiden Jungle Fight event in the state. Now – Who&#8217;d have thought? – it&#8217;s the UFC&#8217;s turn.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/ufc-follows-jungle-fight-goes-to-amazonas-in-2012/">UFC follows Jungle Fight, goes to Amazonas in 2012</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<p>Não será só previlégio do Rio de Janeiro receber uma edição do Ultimate. Foi anunciado nesta terça-feira, que o Sambódromo, em Manaus, será palco do UFC, em agosto de 2012. A notícia foi divulgada pelo governador do Amazonas, Omar Aziz, e pelo co-proprietário do Ultimate Lorenzo Fertitta, logo após a reunião na sede do governo, segundo informa Junior Samurai.</p>
<p>O local de festas tem capacidade para receber em torno de 100 mil pessoas, o que permitiria bater o recorde de público que pertence a edição de Toronto, no Canadá, onde mais de 55 mil espectadores vibraram com o UFC 129, em abril.</p>
<p>&#8220;Imaginem todo esse contingente de pessoas no mundo conhecendo Manaus e o Amazonas. Isso traz um legado grande para a nossa cidade”, disse o governador Aziz. O MMA no estado do Amazonas mostra sua força desde 2003, quando Wallid Ismail armou seu precursor Jungle Fight no estado. Agora, quem diria, é a vez do UFC.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/ufc-segue-jungle-e-vai-para-o-amazonas/">UFC segue Jungle e vai para o Amazonas em 2012</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>
