UFC 307: Kun Alex Pereira murskasi ja tuomarit saivat kenkää!

UFC 307:n jälkikaikuja: Alex Pereira voitti, mutta tuomarit onnistuivat vieläkin enemmän ylittämään odotukset – ja eivät hyvällä tavalla!

UFC 307:ssa tapahtui koko joukkueen voimin vauhdikas ilta Salt Lake Cityssä, kun Alex Pereira kohtasi Khalil Rountree Jr.:n valtaisan jännittävällä ottelulla. Pereira puolusti menestyksekkäästi UFC:n kevytpainoluokan mestaruutta voittaen tulisen TKO:n neljännen erän lopussa, vain 28 sekuntia ennen ottelun päättymistä. Voitto nosti Perieran yhä korkeammalle MMA-pelissä, mutta samalla nosti myös kysymyksiä siitä, kuka olisi seuraava haaste mestarille.

Toki ilta ei ollut kiistaa ilman draamaa, kun UFC:n toimitusjohtaja Dana White purki turhautumistaan tuomareiden arvioinneista, jotka olivat monien mielestä kammottavat. Erityisesti Julianna Peña ja muutamat muiden taisteluotteluiden tuomioitakin kaivettiin esiin. "Kuinka voi olla niin vaikeaa antautua riippumattomalle arvioinnille?" White kysyi kyseenalaistaen otteluiden tuomitsijien kyvyt täysin. Onko aikakausi, jolloin taistelijoiden valttikortit kutsuvat tuomareita suoraan taistelun ulkopuolelle?

Alex Pereira, joka näytti mestarillisen kyvynsä, voi haluta nyt huilata hetken ennen kuin seuraava haaste saapuu. Monet asiantuntijat ovat spekuloineet, että seuraava vastustaja voisi olla vaarallisempi kuin mitä hän on aikaisemmin kohdannut. Tätä taustaa vasten saattaa olla, että suuri kiinnostus superotteluihin on kasvanut, erityisesti raskaan sarjan ja keskisarjan välillä. Mikäli Pereira onnistuu viemään mestaruustittelin edelleen, on täysin mahdollista, että hänet nimitetään parhaaksi painijaksi vuoteen 2024 mennessä!

UFC 307:n lisäksi mielenkiintoista on se, että UFC on investoinut urheilijoihinsa vahvasti maksamalla yli 29 miljoonaa dollaria Promotaation Ohjeistuksen Noudattaminen -ohjelman kautta. Tämä ei ole pelkästään merkki urheilijoiden menestyksestä, vaan myös siitä, kuinka UFC:n toimintatavat ovat kehittyneet vuosien varrella. Onko tämä perusteet `Bravuuriksi` ja kehitykselle, jonka avulla saatetaan luoda seuraava ottelutähti? Vain aika näyttää!
