Black- and Whitelist » travel to Espanyol, while Villarreal

The Big Nog vs Big Country bout is the talk of the MMA world right now but that is not the reason for this article. My seventh week of fight ready fitness had me arguing flexibility and conditioning with a few people. The comment that got me riled up was that Heavyweights run out of gas all the time. That turned into them also not being able to do jujitsu, they arent flexible or able to move. Well Ive been working on my conditioning, and I wont be testing it in the octagon any time soon but it did have me jump to the defense of Cain Velasquez, Junior Dos Santos, and Roy Nelson, all three high level athletes and all with enough gas in the tank to get some outstanding fights on their highlight reels. It wasnt just the decision that they werent fit. Thats a product of their training practices. Lots of heavyweights have a problem pushing themselves on conditioning because they dont have partners who can last in training. What got to me was the flexibility comment. There are a lot of jujitsu experts who are small, and flexible. They make it look easy to wrap people up, and bend in strange ways. Thats not usually the case with heavyweights. However, there are people who work at changing the paradigm. Frank Mir, and Big Nog are both prime examples. Watch them move while they fight, it is impressive. To prove the flexibility issue, I posted a picture on my Instagram @fitcityjordan. Its me attempting the splits. Im actually not too far off. Im going to spend the last little bit of my training time here doing Yoga, specifically something called Joga. Its a newer form of Yoga focused at athletes. Ive done a few classes, and Im impressed at how much it focuses on an athletes need to move, and flush lactic acid post training. Im hoping the next picture I post on Instagram of me doing the splits will be right to the floor. Im 63 and right now between 218 and 220lbs. It depends on the meal the night before. Before you go judging an athlete, start giving the training some time. Get out and sign up for kickboxing. Spend a few evenings rolling on the jujitsu mats, and yes head to Yoga. I found Sandy Grewinski at Yoga Public in Winnipeg. Her coaching style and the Yoga Public facility are the best addition to my wellness and total fitness that Ive found in a long time. Go find your new best friends. They are probably Yoga people. Nicest people youll ever meet. Something to be said for trying to live stress free.

Jim Bottomley Jersey . PAUL, Minn.Barcelona face another serious question of their credentials this weekend as they travel to high-flying Sevilla. Real Madrid have a contrasting task in hosting lowly Leganes, while Atletico Madrid and Villarreal will look to keep pace as they also attempt to avoid upsets.Sevilla v Barcelona (Sunday, 7.45pm, Sky Sports 1HD) The La Liga champions travel to Andalucia on the back of a 3-1 defeat to Manchester City, having had their defensive vulnerabilities exposed by Pep Guardiolas side, but in retrospect they had it coming.Their form had looked questionable, with a last-gasp winner at struggling Valencia followed by a narrow 1-0 win against bottom club Granada at the Nou Camp.The absence of key trio Andres Iniesta, Jordi Alba and Gerard Pique has hit Barca hard, and Luis Enrique will be desperate to have the latter duo back for what could be a crucial clash. Samir Nasri has impressed since joining Sevilla on loan Their hosts have arguably been the over-performers of the season, sitting third after losing just one of their first 10 games and claiming the significant scalp of Atletico Madrid a fortnight ago.That was an extension of some formidable form at home, with maximum points claimed in 19 of their last 22 matches at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, including a 100 per cent record this season. Football Score Centre app Sky Sports customers can watch Premier League goals and highlights every weekend at no extra cost. The arrival of Samir Nasri has had a huge impact and provided the quality to go with the intense pressing style that manager Jorge Sampaoli has imposed on his new side.Despite all of the above, Barca are considered odds-on favourites with Sky Bet, who make Sevilla 19/5 to make it six wins from six at home and really announce themselves as genuine title contenders.Prediction: Sevilla to win and both teams to score - 6/1 with Sky Bet Sevilla vs Barcelona November 6, 2016, 7:30pm Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass Real Madrid v Leganes (Sunday, 11am, Sky Sports 3HD)Much like their great rivals, significant question marks surround Real Madrid after 10 games, with defensive absentees also hampering them.Zinedine Zidanes men do, however, still sit top of La Liga and are unbeaten in all competitions, so talk of a crisis is some way off, but a failure to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 10 games is cause for concern.They had actually only conceded once in each of theirr four successive wins heading into the midweek Champions League action, but a 3-3 draw at Legia Warsaw has got alarm bells ringing.dddddddddddd Legia Warsaw held Real Madrid to a 3-3 draw Some might point to the inclusion of back-up player Nacho in Pepe and Sergio Ramos absence, but Zidanes reluctance to protect his backline with a holding midfielder is perhaps the greater issue.The French legend started two strikers, Karim Benzema and Alvaro Morata, along with two attacking-midfielders and Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo in Poland. If theres an all-out attack button in real management then Zidane has had it switched on.However, Leganes hardly look poised to exploit any defensive vulnerabilities on Sunday, having lost their last three, conceding nine goals, and failing to score in their last two.Prediction: Real Madrid to win and over 4.5 goals - 5/6 with Sky Bet R Madrid vs Leganes November 6, 2016, 10:55am Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass Elsewhere....Sundays second fixture promises to be an intriguing one, with two sides enduring contrasting fortunes meet at the Balaidos.Celta Vigo are proving to be Spains entertainers, with no less than four goals in each of their last six games in all competitions, while Valencia are showing signs of dragging themselves out of the mire under Cesare Prandelli.The other 3.15pm kick-off sees Athetic Bilbao travel to Espanyol, while Villarreal will look to bounce back from successive humiliating defeats to Eibar and Osmanlispor when they host Real Betis in the 5.30pm kick-off.
