UFC 210 Preview, MMA Fancast digs into the card this weekend from Buffalo, NY.
-
Daniel Cormier looks to extend his title reign with another win over the incredibly powerful and extremely dangerous Anthony “Rumble” Johnson UFC 210 Preview
UFC 210 Preview – After withstanding the barrage in the first round of their last clash, Daniel Cormier will look to finish off Rumble so that he can get his rematch against Jon Jones, who is set to return this summer.
-
Chris Weidman will look to return to his winning ways against the streaking Gegard Mousasi, who will look to extend his win streak to 5 for the first time this decade. UFC 210 Preview
Weidman will look to make things happen after going undefeated in his first 13 bouts and being 9-0 in the UFC, having lost his last 2 fights. His devastating loss to Yoel Romero is a memory he wants to quickly erase in his native state of New York. Mousasi is headed in the opposite direction, having won his past 4 fights. -
Cynthia Calvillo fights just one month after her UFC debut and will be looking to keep her perfect record in tact against the UFC debut of Pearl Gonzalez, who hasn’t tasted defeat since her MMA debut and has reeled off 6 straight wins herself. UFC 210 Preview
-
Thiago Alves looks to rebound from his first 2 fight losing streak since 2010 against the 11 year UFC vet Patrick Cote. UFC 210 Preview
Cote has been in there with the best of the best, but can he make it all count against Thiago Alves? Cote has a long history with the UFC, including a 2008 title fight against Anderson “The Spider” Silva. Does he have a chance here?
-
Will Brooks looks to avenge his first defeat in years to Alex Oliveira in October against Charles Oliveira, who is making his scheduled lightweight debut after failing to make weight 4 times in the past 5 years at featherweight. UFC 210 Preview
Brooks have only 2 loses on his resume and has 2 long winning streaks, a 10 and a 9 fight streak. Is he ready to start a new winning streak or will he experience his first ever 2 fight skid?
- In the Conor McGregor saga, there is no guarantee that he will be fighting in the UFC again. If he gets the fight with Mayweather, will he have the motivation to come back to fighting MMA?

☐ Will McGregor Mayweather ever happen
Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s pronouncement that he’s “coming out of retirement just to fight Conor McGregor” heightens the momentum for a super-fight between boxing’s unbeaten, pound-for-pound great and the popular UFC lightweight champion from Ireland.
Mayweather, 40, said in a video that was posted by his Internet mouthpiece fighthype.com that the boxing match between the 49-0 boxer and the striking-skilled, two-division UFC champion could happen as soon as June.
“I don’t want to hear no more excuses about the money, the UFC … sign the paperwork with the UFC so we can fight in June,” Mayweather said, underling the point that he will receive the greater share of the purse money.
Mayweather, who is currently touring the United Kingdom, said accepting such a deal is part of the fight game, and something he did himself before elevating to superstar status in 2007 after defeating Oscar De La Hoya by split decision.

UFC 209 Review
UFC 209 review – It came and went and we were thrilled as well as diappointed. MMA Fancast has immediate reaction to this card, as we are joined by special guest John Schell.
In a main event that will long be remembered as a rematch that does NOT need a trilogy, Tyron Woodley was able to defend his welterweight strap in what can only be considered one of the most disappointing fights in UFC and welterweight championship history.
UFC 209 Review
Lando Vannata and David Teymur went toe to toe in a fight that stole the show. This pairing has all the makings of a longtime rivalry and these are two young men who show great promise to reach the top of the lightweight division and possibly be stables there for years to come.
UFC 209 Review
Rashad Evans and Daniel Kelly had a battle that showed both the age of these combatants as well as the growth of these two. Rashad looked to be in amazing shape visually, but ring rust was also apparent. Was this an indication that he simply can no longer compete with the top tier or will things improve once he can shake off the ring rust?
UFC 209 Review
Amanda Cooper and Cynthia Calvillo was a true story of being presented opportunities and capitalizing on them. Cynthia Calvillo was making her octagon debut against Cooper and was originally slated to fight on the Fight Pass Prelim portion of the card. That all changed when the Khabib / Furguson fight got scrapped. Calvillo’s UFC debut was not going to occur on the PPV portion of the card and boy did she take full advantage of the opportunity.
UFC 209 Review
Alistair Overeem and Mark Hunt was bound to end with devastation, and it certainly did not disappoint. Overeem landed some huge knees in the 3rd round of this contest and Hunt was left motionless.

On the undercard, we were truly treated to one of the greatest comebacks in the history of the UFC. Prior to that fight, we saw another amazing comeback!

☐ Michael Bisping: Anderson Silva disrespected ‘everybody’ with performance at UFC 208
“He was kind of disrespecting everybody there, disrespecting his opponent,” Bisping said on his Sirius XM show The Countdown (h/t Damon Martin of FOX Sports).
“At times, he grabbed the Thai clinch on Derek Brunson, had the Thai clinch but didn’t do anything. Didn’t throw an elbow, certainly didn’t throw a knee, and he allowed Brunson to just tee off with like 10, 15 punch combinations to Anderson Silva while Anderson just held him. It’s just bizarre.”
“Now I’m not trying to kick a man while he’s down, I’m really not, because I bought the pay-per-view to watch Anderson Silva,” Bisping said. “Regardless of what’s happened between the two of us, I’m a fan of Anderson Silva and he still always brings that excitement and even still right up until the final bell of a 15-minute fight you still thought ‘hold on is he going to pull something amazing out of the bag?’ but he didn’t.
“What he did was he allowed Brunson to out work him so when he went to decision, everybody, and we had a few people over, my manager and some of his staff came over and we had some friends there, there was about 20 people in the house and everybody thought Derek Brunson was going to get the decision and of course it went to Anderson Silva, which was shocking. I guess maybe you could see an argument for Anderson winning rounds one and two but it was just a bizarre performance.”
“He’s tarnishing his legacy,” Bisping said. “Let’s put it like that.”

☐ Ref says bell does not end round, the ref has to
☐ changes to MMA rules in 2017
With new scoring changes, 10-8 rounds should be more prevalent
Grounded fighter
Under the original rules, fighters could place a single finger tip in the ground to establish themselves as grounded, thereby avoiding legal kicks and knees to the head. Officials have long dubbed that “playing the game.” It’s no longer viable. Now, fighters must have both hands on the ground — either their palms or fists — to be considered grounded. As always, if a fighter’s knee or any other part of the body except the hands and feet are touching the mat, then that fighter is also grounded.
MMA’s Greatest Podcast
Extended fingers
Eye pokes have been a topic of controversy lately. They are fight-ending, career-damaging illegal maneuvers. Under the original rules, referees could do nothing about it until it was too late and the poke was already landed. The new rules empower referees by making it a foul to extend your fingers outward toward an opponent’s face, which could lead to an eye poke.
Previously, a referee could tell a fighter to close his or her hand, but the ref had no recourse — a point could not be taken. Now, it can be if a fighter continues to extend fingers in the direction of an opponent’s face.
Female apparel
The days of T-shirts, half-shirts and loose-fitting tank tops (sorry, Reebok) are over in women’s MMA. Women must wear either a sports bra or a form-fitting rash guard in the cage. For bottoms, the rules are the same as for men: nothing below the knee, which means no more grappling or yoga pants.
Why is this a big deal? Well, loose-fitting shirts are actually dangerous. Fingers and toes can get caught in them. They can slip over a fighter’s head if too loose. UFC fighter Valerie Letourneau recently had an issue when her opponent Joanna Calderwood’s foot pulled down her tanktop with a front kick and she nearly had a wardrobe malfunction. Letourneau covered up and was struck in the head by Calderwood when she wasn’t defending herself. That kind of thing can’t happen in MMA.
Grappling pants, which have been used by Marloes Coenen and others, are an inherent advantage. Men have never been able to wear them under the Unified Rules. This is the first time women’s apparel has been standardized in the official rules.
Many have asked, Why are a bunch of men deciding what women can wear? That’s a good point. But MMA rules and regulations committee chairman Sean Wheelock consulted with Invicta FC matchmaker and women’s MMA pioneer Julie Kedzie .before writing these regulations.

Heel kicks to the kidneys
The last time any of us saw this technique was Royce Gracie vs. Ken Shamrock. It’s not prevalent and the fact there was a rule against it was kind of odd. All other blows to the kidneys are 100 percent legal, but heel kicks (used by fighters holding opponents in guard) were banned. Not any longer.
Heel kicks to the kidneys aren’t much more than an annoyance or cause to change positions, as demonstrated Tuesday by MMA legends and Randy Couture and Jeremy Horn.
“The kidney strike with the heel is not an effective strike,” Couture told MMA Fighting. “It doesn’t make sense for it to be illegal. We do get hit in the kidneys. I can get in on a shot, if you’re trying to take an opponent down, and he’s perfectly free to hit me in the back all that he wants. It’s not illegal now.”
Grabbing the clavicle
Very few people knew this was even illegal before. The foul has now been removed. It was unanimous this week at the ABC Conference that no one had ever seen this attack attempted in an MMA fight.
