Die Macht » day after a stretch in which he went 4-0 with a 1.41

Bjorn Rebney has revealed his motivations behind helping to launch the Mixed Martial Arts Athletes Association.The former Bellator MMA CEO announced the formation of the group on a conference call last week in a bid to promote UFC fighters rights and earn them a bigger share of revenue from the promotions new owners, WME-IMG.WME-IMG and UFC today -- that conglomerate -- theyre bullies, Rebney said in an appearance on MMA Hour. And it may not be with their hands, but its with their money and its with their power and its with their influence.UFC fighters Tim Kennedy, Cain Velasquez, TJ Dillashaw and Donald Cerrone, as well as former welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre, all joined in on the conference call with Rebney, who said he is acting as an adviser and will not make decisions on behalf of the group.The group said on the call they were seeking, among other things, a pension, retirement plan and full-scale health care for current and retired fighters.Theres nothing in place, and this is the most violent sport on the face of the Earth, Rebney continued. The repercussions for a mixed martial artist far surpass those from hockey or football or, for Gods sake, even boxing. Even boxing. And boxing has got a real ugly progressive step for its athletes. And youve got nothing in place? No.WME-IMG bought the UFC for $4 billion earlier this year from Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta, as well as Dana White, who kept his role as president.That didnt come from Dana or Lorenzo, Rebney said. That came on the backs of fighters, who packed the arenas, drove the pay-per-view buy rates, drove the international and domestic television, the sponsorships, the closed circuit, etc., etc.They deserve to get paid whats fair. And to be able to fight that fight, to be able to be in the middle of that and also to be able to Superman-punch bullies in the back of the head, thats a very attractive proposition for me just given my personality.

NEW YORK -- When the New York Mets stumbled home Wednesday after losing three straight games to the Washington Nationals, there seemed to be a better chance the Mets would be worried about falling below .500 by the end of a four-game series against the Chicago Cubs than talking about a potential sweep of the presumptive World Series favorites.Yet the Mets have a chance to break out the brooms Sunday afternoon in the finale of a National League Championship Series rematch at Citi Field. New York posted its third straight win with a 4-3 victory over the Cubs on Saturday night.The Mets have outscored the Cubs, who have the lowest ERA in the majors at 2.97, by a margin of 18-8. Not bad for a team that scored 17 runs in the six games preceding the Cubs arrival.Youve got to believe you can compete, Mets manager Terry Collins said Saturday night. But then when you go out and do it, it means a lot. The confidence that it sends throughout the clubhouse -- theres no other way to do it except to go out there and beat one of the real, real good teams three times.The three straight losses to the Mets (43-37) have continued a monthlong skid of sorts for the Cubs (51-29), who have gone 12-14 since June 5. Chicago is 2-11 against teams with a winning record -- the Mets, Washington Nationals, Miami Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals -- during that stretch.Every team were playing is gunning for us, Cubs utilityman Ben Zobrist told reporters Saturday afternoon. They know weve got the best record in the league. And theyre showing up to play against us. Theyre not showing up like this to play against other teams.The Cubs will try to avoid the sweep behind left-hander Jon Lester, who will oppose Mets right-hander Noah Syndergaard in a matchup of aces and potential All-Star Game starters.ddddddddddddLester was named the National Leagues Pitcher of the Month for June on Saturday after a stretch in which he went 4-0 with a 1.41 ERA. Overall this season, Lester has a 2.03 ERA, second best in the NL behind injured Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw.We want to finish it off (Sunday), Collins said. Lesters pitching great, but we certainly are right now playing pretty good. So we need to hopefully go out and get some pitches to hit and do some damage with them.Syndergaard absorbed his most damage of the season in his most recent start last Tuesday, when he gave up five runs in three innings and took the loss as the Mets fell 11-4 to the Washington Nationals. The next day, multiple media outlets reported Syndergaard is pitching with a bone spur in his right elbow, accounts corroborated by Syndergaard on Thursday.Lester is 2-0 with a 2.50 ERA in three career regular-season starts against the Mets. He took the loss in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series last Oct. 17, when he gave up four runs in 6 2/3 innings in the Cubs 4-2 loss at Citi Field.Syndergaard lost his lone regular-season start against the Cubs in his major league debut on May 12, 2015, when he gave up three runs in 5 1/3 innings as the Mets fell 6-1. He picked up the win in Game 2 of the NLCS last Oct. 18, when he allowed one run in 5 2/3 innings in the Mets 4-1 victory. ' ' '
