UFC en Directo-Resultados del UFC 192: Cormier vs Gustafsson
UFC en Directo-Resultados de UFC 192
Por Daniel “Mr. Clutch” Mercado Castro
Hace mucho no había una verdadera
pelea estelar en UFC donde no reinaran los abrazos ni perdieran tiempo en el
piso. Daniel Cormier (17-1) y Alexander Gustafsson (16-4) dieron un magistral
evento estelar por la faja Light Heavyweight de UFC en el Toyota Center en
Houston, Texas. Fueron cinco asaltos de palo va y palo viene entre ambos
peleadores que en su cuerpo eran visibles las heridas de guerra producto de la
intensa batalla. Cormier, medallista de bronce en las Olimpiadas en Grecia
(2004), retuvo su faja en una decisión dividida (48-47, 47-48 y 49-46) ante el
retador Gustafsson. “Tú me hiciste mejor hombre esta noche”; exclamó Cormier
luego de darle las gracias a Gustafsson por tremenda pelea. Cormier dominó el
primer asalto luego de un impresionante takedown y con buen ground and pound.
Gustafson se llevó el segundo asalto al lastimar el ojo derecho de Cormier con
buen striking y logrando dos takedowns. El tercero se lo llevo Cormier
continuando con sus ganchos en el clinch, cortando el octágono y usando con
poder su derecha. Gustafsson se lleva el cuarto logrando poner en malas
condiciones a Cormier con su fuerte striking y casi logrando la victoria.
Cormier salió fuerte en el quinto con un buen ataque para llevarse la victoria.
En mis tarjetas lo vi ganando cerradamente 48-47. “Peleas como esta hacen a un
campeón”; sentenció Cormier. Gustafson ha perdido tres de sus últimas cuatro
peleas. Sin duda alguna esta fue la pelea galardonada como Fight of the Night.
Lo próximo para Cormier pudiera ser
una batalla con Ryan Bader (20-4), quien ganó su quinta pelea al hilo al
derrotar vía decisión unánime (30-27, 30-27 y 30-27) al veterano Rashad Evans
(19-4-1). Bader demostró gran movilidad, buena defensa, solido striking y buen
uso del takedown para dominar un Evans que no peleaba desde noviembre del 2013
cuando noqueo a Chael Sonnen (UFC 167). Bader
vs Cormier sería un interesante pareo.
El peso pesado Ruslan Magomedov (14-1)
sigue haciendo ruido en esa división al vencer a Shawn Jordan (18-7) vía
decisión unánime (30-27, 29-28 y 30-27). Joseph Benavidez (23-4) se apuntó su
cuarta victoria consecutiva al vencer vía decisión unánime (30-27, 29-28 y
30-27) al difícil Ali Bagautinov (13-4). A pesar de una batalla difícil,
Benavides nuevamente demostró sus calibres en el peso mosca y que está listo
para vengar sus únicas cuatro derrotas. Dos ante Dominick Cruz y dos ante el
campeón Demetrious Johnson. La venezolana Julianna Peña (7-2), ganadora del TUF
18, se apuntó una victoria por decisión unánime (29-27, 29-27, 29-27) ante
Jessica Eye (11-4). Luego de la pelea, Peña, se le ocurrió la brillante idea
lanzarle un reto a Ronda Rousey. “Estoy aquí”; gritó.
En las batallas preliminares; El
mexicano Yair Rodriguez (6-1) derrotó vía decisión unánime (30-27, 30-27 y
30-26) a Dan Hooker (12-6). Albert Tumenov (16-2) derrotó al welterweight Alan
Jouban (12-4) por TKO a los 2:55 del primer asalto. Ese TKO se llevó el bono de
Performance
of the Night. ¡Devastadora patada a la cabeza! Adriano Martins (28-7),
quien también se llevó el bono de Performance of the Night, al
propinarle un KO a los 1:46 del primer asalto a Islam Makhachev (12-1). Rose
Namajunas (3-2) derrotó con un Standing Rear Naked Choke/Sumisión a los 2:47
del primer asalto a Angela Hill (2-2). Sage Northcutt (6-0), quien apenas tiene
19 años, impresionó con un TKO a los 57 segundos del primer asalto sobre
Francisco Treviño (12-2). El boricua-mexicano Sergio Pettis (13-2) derrotó vía
decisión unánime (29-27, 29-27 y 29-28) a Chris Cariaso (17-8). Derrick Lewis
(13-4) le propinó un TKO a los 1:15 del tercer asalto a Viktor Pesta (10-2).

TICKETS FOR
UFC® 192: CORMIER vs GUSTAFSSON
AT TOYOTA CENTER
ON SALE FRIDAY, JULY 31
Cormier
(15-1, fighting out of San Jose, Calif.), the second U.S. Olympian to
become a UFC champion (women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey was
the first) captured the vacant 205-pound
world title after submitting No. 1 contender Anthony Johnson at UFC 187.
Looking to begin his reign atop the light heavyweight division, Cormier
gladly welcomes his next opponent, Gustafsson, to center stage. Having
defeated legends and former champions
in Dan Henderson, Frank Mir and Josh Barnett, “DC” plans to add another
name to his near perfect record.
Gustafsson

UFC® FLYWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION DEMETRIOUS JOHNSON MEETS RIVAL
JOHN DODSON IN HIGHLY ANTICIPATED REMATCH
Plus:
(#1) ANTHONY JOHNSON vs. (#12) JAN BLACHOWICZ
(#8) PAIGE VANZANT vs. ALEX CHAMBERS
TICKETS FOR
UFC® 191: JOHNSON vs. DODSON 2
AT MGM GRAND GARDEN ARENA
ON SALE FRIDAY, JULY 31
Since
his first showdown with Dodson, Johnson (21-2-1, fighting out of
Parkland, Wash.) has gone on to defend his belt five more times, scoring
impressive finishes in four of those contests.
He now looks for a seventh consecutive successful title defense which
would put him in a tie for third place on the all-time list behind only
Anderson Silva (10) and Georges St-Pierre (9).
Meanwhile,
Dodson (18-6, fighting out of Albuquerque, N.M.) is riding a
three-fight winning streak with two finishes and believes that the next
knockdown he scores over the champion will
be the last.
Also, top-ranked light heavyweight
Anthony “Rumble” Johnson
(19-4,
fighting out of Boca Raton, Fla.) returns to the Octagon for the first
time since his title fight with Daniel Cormier and meets Polish striker,
No. 12
Jan Blachowicz (18-4,
fighting out of Poznan, Poland).
Plus, No. 8 women’s strawweight
Paige VanZant (5-1, fighting out of Sacramento, Calif.) looks to
continue her ascent up the UFC’s newest division when she meets Australia’s
Alex Chambers
(4-2, fighting out of Sydney, Australia). VanZant, who is
2-0 inside the Octagon, has quickly become one of the faces of the
division thanks to thrilling victories over Kailin Curran and Felice
Herrig. Chambers, a cast member on season 20 of
The Ultimate Fighter, is coming off a third-round submission of
Curran earlier this year. She looks to end the meteoric rise of VanZant
when the two collide in Las Vegas.
Also announced for UFC 191: No. 11 bantamweight

UFC® Unveils New Brand Identity
UFC launches a transformed visual identity, from its signature logo
mark to its broadcast package, ahead of UFC 189: MENDES vs. MCGREGOR

storytelling components, providing more context and meaning, and further
enhancing the viewing experience for our fans.”

an increasing slate of content available across a wide range of
platforms, design elements where heavily focused on providing

Anthony Johnson sorprende a Gustafsson en UFC on Fox 14
Johnson sorprende a Gustafsson en UFC on Fox 14
Por Daniel "Mr. Clutch" Mercado Castro
Por Daniel "Mr. Clutch" Mercado Castro
Ya Jon Jones tiene un rival para su próxima defensa de la faja semi completa. Anthony "Rumble" Johnson (19-4) daño los planes de una posible segunda pelea entre Jones y Gustafsson cuando destrozó vía TKO a los 2:15 del primer asalto al hijo de Sweeden y en su propia casa. Gustafsson (16-3) no se espera que "Rumble" viniera como un toro a destrozar al Rey en la "casa del trompo". Johnson, de Estados Unidos, mando al suelo a fuerza de golpes a Gustafsson y lo remató en el suelo con dos bestiales ganchos cortos de derecha directo a la cabeza que obligaron al arbitro detener el encuentro. Es la segunda derrota en su casa para Gustafsson, la anterior fue contra Phil Davis. Ahora esperar que "Rumble" le callé la bocota al mejor en esa división y posiblemente en la UFC. Ahora Gustafsson tendrá que secar sus lagrimas y esperar su turno para verle la cara por segunda vez al campeón Jon Jones o quién sabe si aun nuevo campeón llamado Anthony "Rumble" Johnson.
En la semi-estelar, el veterano de 44 años Dan Henderson (30-13) recibió una dolorosa derrota al caer vía TKO a los 1:10 del primer asalto ante Gegard Mousasi (36-5-2). Tal vez el arbitro detuvo prematuramente la pelea, algo que vimos varias veces en esta cartelera desde Stockholm, Sweden, pero la realidad es que Mousasi le conectó una derecha a la cabeza que tambaleo a Henderson, este cae al suelo y luego de recibir un palo más, el arbitro la detiene. Los días en UFC para Henderson están contados y no se ve una faja en su futuro. Mis respetos al veterano y su talento.
