Miesha Tate UnRetire with UFC Featherweight Division?

7 years ago in UFC

Miesha Tate who is a former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women’s bantamweight champion Miesha Tate has earlier voiced out that the UFC needs to create more weight divisions for the women fighters. UFC only had two women’s divisions, the strawweight (115 pounds) and the bantamweight divisions (135 pounds) which meant Miesha Tate nude on weigh-ins is no longer gonna happen.

Miesha Tate had to cut weight and use extreme measures to make it to 135 pounds and fighters like her could go to 145 and worry about fighting instead of cutting weight.

Also Cris Cyborg Justino called for a featherweight (145 pounds) and flyweight (125 pounds) division.

Miesha Tate thought these changes can take a while but UFC recently announced the creation of a Featherweight division featuring Holly Holm and Germaine de Randamie on Feb. 11.

Now that a Featherweight title has been created is Miesha Tate going to Unretire? Preparing for a fight while actively cutting weight can take a toll on a fighter, and with this Miesha can just focus on fighting.

The creation of the Featherweight division also means smaller fighting pool and Miesha could start reigning or making money in that division. UFC president Dana White also believe that there are not a lot of high level women at the featherweight division (145 pounds).

We certainly want to see the sexy Miesha Tate even if it means we are not going to see her weigh-in nude.

Ronda Rousey is being eyed by WWE to join them specially because she is a lifelong wrestling fan and have generated a lot of interest when she made an appearance together with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson at WrestleMania 31.

WWE chief brand officer Stephanie McMahon has publicly announced that she wants Ronda Rousey in the wrestling ring. At WrestleMania 31 Stephanie McMahon was at odds with Rousey as Rowdy called Stephanie the “Billion Dollar Princess” and driven out of the ring with her husband Paul “Triple H” Levesque.

Ronda has a lot of drawing power with the fans and WWE would benefit a lot from Ronda crossing over to their sports entertainment business.

Rousey is scheduled to fight Amanda Nunes at UFC 207 and it is possible that Ronda is nearing the end of the road for her UFC career.

Green Bay Packers Ugly Snowy Win Might Push Them to Playoffs

7 years ago in NFL

On Sunday The Green Bay Packer had an ugly but hard fought win against the Houston Texas on a snowy afternoon. Regardless of the situation that get the job done and got the win column.

This kind of tenacity shows what kind of a team the Green Bay Packers are made of and can easily help them prepare to make a final push towards the playoffs.

The packers were playing poorly on their home field on what could have been a strong game for them from the start against the Houston Texans. Blame it on the snowy weather if you will but this is Aaron Rodgers on their homefield and a lot more could have been expected from them.

Then came the 4th quarter and Aaron Rodgers and the Packers showed the determination of a playoff team as they scored on two touchdown passes to get the win for a 21-13 final score.

This kind of heart until the end is what they need to push through the playoffs as they have four games remaining with the last two games against the gritty Seattle Seahawks and the strong defense of the Minnesota Vikings.

Aaron Rodgers seems to have super powers during December as for the last 8 years he has not lost in Lambeau Field. Right now they are trailing the Detroit Lion in NFC North and winning all their four games is something they need to do to secure a playoff path.

The Lions is going to have a tough game against the streaking Dallas Cowboys (11-1) and the New York Giants (8-4) and the Chicago Bears who defeated them in Week 4 on the score of 17-14.

Aaron Rodgers carried his team under pressure on an bad snowy weather and had two touchdown passes of 98 and 89 yards. Rodgers since Week 7 has managed to throw 2,113 yard and 19 touchdowns with only 3 interceptions.

The Packers seems ready and even if the game against the Texas is ugly, it showed character and their ability to close out games regardless of the situation.

I reported over the weekend that the Western Michigan Broncos deserved the Cotton Bowl appearance and a decision will be made by the selection committee.

As you remember Western Michigan coach P.J. Fleck was confident of their chances —

We deserve to be in the gosh darn Cotton Bowl, period. Write it down.

Even though they had a 13-0 record they were still ranked 17th as such Fleck had to campaign and make sure everyone knew they had something special going on. It also helped that Navy lost to Temple as they were still in the running

In preparation for the announcement, Western Michigan Broncos had a watch party

The College Football Playoff selection committee made a decision and Western Michigan University will be playing against Wisconsin (10-3) in the Cotton Bowl scheduled for Jan. 2, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas (1 p.m., ESPN). You should start planning to buy your Cotton Bowl Tickets as this is going to be a historic and exciting matchup.

WMU had a strong start for this campaign as they beat Big Ten Teams on the road, Northwestern 22-1 on the 1st week and followed it up on Week 3 against Illinois 34-10.

Fleck on the Bronco’s undefeated record —

First of all, it’s historic. I don’t care what league you’re in. …

If you go undefeated in sports, it’s very special, no matter what. To go undefeated, it takes a ton of resolve, resilience, energy, commitment, trust, belief.

Western Michigan quarterback Zach Terrell knows they have done their best no matter what the announcement is going to be —

Honestly, we’ve done all we can do. Whether or not we’re in the Cotton Bowl, we can’t control that. All we control is winning the games on our schedule, and we’ve done that.

Hopefully P.J. Flecks confidence will bear fruit —

It’s a historic day in Western Michigan history, and we deserve to be in the gosh darn Cotton Bowl, period. Write it down.

Less than a day for Western Michigan’s historic moment.

Navy Heartbreaking loss against Temple

7 years ago in NCAA/NFL

Navy Midshipmen had a terrible and forgettable game and offensive coordinator Ivin Jasper has this to say — Mama said there’d be days like this.

This is the first appearance of Navy in the conference title where they got controlled and dominated by Temple from start to finish with a 34-10 score. Navy was gunning on playing in the Cotton Bowl but it looked dim right from the start.

The Midshipmen got defeated physically and emotionally and started the game trailing 21-0, against the Black Knights.

Quarterback Will Worth was injured early in the game when he later said he heard something pop and after that he cannot put any weight on his feet after running just four yards on his 263rd carry. He is the second quarterback for the Navy Midshipmen that had been injured, Tago Smith the starting quarterback tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in the second quarter of the season opener, ran four yards on his 263rd carry of the fall.

On Will Worth’s leg — I thought I heard a pop. I tried one more play, but I couldn’t put any weight on it.

On the same play that injured Will Worth, Navy’s offensive captain slotback Toneo Gulley also got injured and has this to say — I felt some pops here and there. He shook his head. Crazy.

Both Will Worth and Toneo Gulley are very important players for the Midshipmen and having them on the bech easily lost their chances. Both of them felt bad about it —
“It was very emotional. For both of us.”

Both players upon x-ray revealed they had broken bone in their foot.

Navy Coach Ken Niumatalolo has this to say —

It was just a good old-fashioned butt-whipping. It starts with me as the head coach, and you have to give credit to [Temple Coach] Matt [Rhule] because his team was prepared.

Temple lost 28-13 against Army and allowed them to run 342 yards. Navy was held to only 168 yards.

This is a sweet revenge for Temple, as 19 years ago Temple lost against Navy 47-19 and now they reversed the final results Navy badly beaten.

Western Michigan Broncos 13-0 Deserve Cotton Bowl

P.J. Fleck with a 13-0 record with the Western Michigan Broncoshas no plans to watch as the rest of college football’s final weekend before bowl season plays out during the next two days. In his mind, he already knows where his team is headed —

“It’s a historic day in Western Michigan history, and we deserve to be in the gosh darn Cotton Bowl, period. Write it down.”

Michigan Broncos currently ranked 17th won their 13th straights against Ohio 29-23 at Ford Field winning their first conference championship in 28 years, also finishing 8-0 in Mid-American conference.

A 13-0 record is a very strong case and Fleck feels they should be at the Cotton Bowl regardless of what happens with any team over the weekend. Navy ranked number 19 could potentially get ahead of the Western Michigan if they beat Temple in the American Athletic Conference. Although they have lost against Temple, Fleck feels there is nobody to challenge them —

I don’t think there’s anybody to pay attention to. Who are we paying attention to? Why are we paying attention to anyone? We are 13-0. We are the best Group of 5 team in the country.

Western Michigan quarterback Zach Terrell has a positive perspective on the situation —

Honestly, we’ve done all we can do. Whether or not we’re in the Cotton Bowl, we can’t control that. All we control is winning the games on our schedule, and we’ve done that.

Fleck feels that their unbeaten record is proof that they deserve a sport on the five smaller conferences and that he and his staff will recruit over the weekend wearing cotton —

I’m going wear cotton shirts. I’m going to have cotton slippers. I’m going to have cotton earmuffs. I’m going to have a cotton jacket. I’m going to wear everything cotton from here on out.

This afternoon, the College Football Playoff selection committee will release the final rankings.
