<p>O mundo do UFC não se resume apenas ao assédio dos fãs, eventos grandiosos e o luxo em que vivem suas estrelas. Assim como qualquer trabalhador no mundo, eles estão sujeitos a demissão se o dono da barraquinha não estiver satisfeito com o serviço deles.

<p>Entre os nomes confirmados na &#8220;degola&#8221; estão John Fitch, experiente &#8220;amarrão&#8221; do Ultimate que vem de derrota para Demian Maia, além dos brasileiros Wagner Caldeirão, que vinha de duas derrotas, uma para Phil Davis e outra para o estreante Ildemar Marajó; e Jorge Santiago, que fez sua terceira &#8220;estreia&#8221; no UFC, sendo derrotado para Gunnar Nelson.</p>

<p>It was a lively evening in Las Vegas. Of the 12 fights on the card at UFC 146 this Saturday, six ended with knockouts and three in submissions. That being the case, UFC president Dana White decided to contemplate what the public likes seeing most.</p>
<p>Two fighters earned the prize for best knockout: Roy Nelson&#8217;s swing for the fence on Dave Herman 51 seconds in; and Dan Hardy, who himself got a first-round knockout, on Duane Ludwig.</p>
<p>And two fighters benefited from the prize for best finish. On the main card, Stefan Struve sunk a sterling armbar from guard on Lavar Johnson, while Paul Sass took the bonus for his triangle on Jacob Volkmann.</p>
<p>Now “Fight of the Night” prize was awarded, perhaps because every bout on the card was sublime. Was White unable to make up his mind? Each bonus was worth an extra 70,000 dollars.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/ufc-146-dana-white-puts-70-grand-to-what-people-most-like-to-see/">UFC 146: Dana White puts 70 grand to what people most like to see</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<p>A noite foi de muita ação em Las Vegas. Nos 12 combates do UFC 146, neste sábado, seis terminaram com nocautes e três com finalização. Sendo assim, Dana White, presidente do UFC, decidiu contemplar o que o público mais gosta de assistir.</p>
<p>Dois lutadores receberam o prêmio pelo melhor nocaute. Foram eles Roy Nelson, que desferiu um petardo perfeito em Dave Herman aos 51s de combate, e Dan Hardy, que também nocauteou Duane Ludwig no assalto inicial.</p>
<p>Dois lutadores também foram agraciados com o prêmio de melhor finalização. No card principal, Stefan Struve aplicou um belo armlock da guarda contra Lavar Johnson, enquanto Paul Sass foi de triângulo em Jacob Volkmann.</p>
<p>Não houve prêmio para melhor luta, talvez até pelo fato de todas terem sido ótimas. Será que não conseguiram escolher? Cada premiação equivaleu a 70 mil dólares extras.  </p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/ufc-146-dana-white-contempla-com-70-mil-o-que-o-povo-gosta-de-ver/">UFC 146: Dana White contempla com 70 mil o que o povo gosta de ver</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<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>
