What Happened!!!

What is going on readers!!!

I am glad to announce that GET THE KO will be exclusively feature on the blog called Your Sports Therapy!

This will be a new blog that will have lots of articles attached to it from many different writers, different point of views and a lot more fun. I am excited for this change and I hope you all will stay with me and enjoy the ride.

BUT LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS!!!

First thing I want to address is the fall of the Queen! As most of you know Ronda Rousey was beaten again by Amanda Nunes, and not just beaten but embarrassed. It is tough when you have no head movement, while your corner is yelling "HEAD MOVEMENT...HEAD MOVEMENT!" But as we learned from the Holly Holms fight, to her debut on Saturday Night Live, to her fight with Amanda Nunes...she needs a lot of help with her stand up.
From this...

To this...

To ultimately this...

Now do not think I am only coming down on Ronda (I was pulling for her) I thought if she had worked on her striking, she could eventually clinch up. That was not the case, Amanda had an amazing game plan for her. Nunes said herself she had been preparing for this fight her whole career, and it showed.

As for Ronda it is not time to re-brand yourself, time to find the next thing. Gina Carano after her lose to Cris Cyborg went into movies. Maybe Ronda can find herself in the same boat and even the WWE. Re-branding her the most dominate wrestler can get her back on the Bad Ass path. Look at John Cena, Dwayne Johnson, and the other wrestlers who have starred in films (Minus the Big Show, sorry).

Speaking of the WWE...The UFC hired former WWE and ESPN talent Todd Grisham to replace Mike Goldberg as their play-by-play announcer. We are talking about this guy...

Now my problem is not with Todd himself, though I remember him being the butt of The Rock's jokes back in the day. It is the fact the UFC did not give a proper send off for Mike Goldberg. The man literally dedicated himself to 2 decades in the UFC, and there was nothing. Mike Goldberg had been around even before Zuffa bought the UFC, only to sell it to WME-IMG. He and Joe Rogan have been the faces and the "hype men" for the sport. I will be pulling for Todd and wish him the best, but how much time will pass before Joe Rogan leaves, and who will be the person to replace him once it happens. My vote is for Jay Glazier, or maybe Brian Stann. Everyone will have the one person they want to include. Those are just a couple of my picks.

Also speaking of Picks...We have an interesting fight card coming up on Feb. 4th, one day before the "Big Game."

Usually this fight card will be loaded with talent, but for some reason this fight card is a little lackluster. Sure, we will see the return of the Korean Zombie (bad ass nickname by the way) and OSP (one fight after being knocked out) but overall the fight card is meh at best. With all the talent that is starting to emerge around the MMA world, why not try to give this card a little more UMPH!

I would like to see the Korean Zombie get his win, especially after being away for two years due to military obligations, I do want to see OSP get a win after being KO'd in his last fight, I am looking forward to seeing Anthony Hamilton win his fight, and pulling for Abel Trujillo (who is on a 3 fight win streak).

Now I will be back to writing especially now since I get to write for both the blogs. I look forward to seeing your comments and talking with all of you.

Thank you again for the support!!!
