Finish would be nice for Bellator 97′s Rodrigo Lima, but win most important

BAD MMA News — Wed, 31 Jul 2013 23:15:00 +0000

Rodrigo Lima is a finisher. But so far, the Brazilian hasn’t been able to prove that at the next level. Lima, in his two fights with Bellator, has dropped a decision and won one. On Wednesday night against Rafael Silva , his plan is to change the course of things – at the most opportune time possible: Bellator’s next bantamweight tournament. But then again, if he has to go 15 minutes, so be it. Lima (11-1 MMA, 1-1 BMMA) and Silva (19-3 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) fight on the preliminary card of Bellator 97, which takes place at Santa Ana Star Center in Rio Rancho, N.M., near Albuquerque. The main card airs on Spike TV, while the Lima-Silva bantamweight tourney semifinal fight streams on Spike.com. “Usually, my intent is to finish in first round,” Lima told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).

Gilbert Melendez finds 15-minute silver lining on path back to UFC title fight

BAD MMA News — Tue, 16 Jul 2013 18:00:00 +0000

Gilbert Melendez saw Benson Henderson ‘s hand get raised, and right away he started looking for the silver lining. It didn’t take long for the former Strikeforce lightweight champion to find one after Henderson beat him by split-decision in a UFC title fight at UFC on FOX 7 in April. “I’m excited to fight three five-minute rounds,” Melendez recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). “Initially after I lost, the first thing on my mind more than anything was, ‘Heck yeah – 15 minutes, that’s way easier.’ I’ve been training for 25-minute fights my last 10 fights, and it’s kind of tough on the body.” And because Melendez has indeed been in 10 straight title fights – going the full 25 minutes six times – he’ll get a welcome training reprieve now, while trying to work his way back to where he wants to be, and that’s back in another title fight. The road back there for Melendez (21-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) starts against Diego Sanchez (24-5 MMA, 13-5 UFC) in October at UFC 166 in Houston, a fight booking first reported by MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com)

WINNIPEG – In a fight in which referee Yves Lavigne earned every penny of his commission pay, light heavyweights Ryan Jimmo and Igor Pokrajac plodded along to the scorecards. In the end, judges were unanimous in their call for Jimmo, who won all three rounds on the scorecards, but it wasn’t the type of fight that advanced his career. The bout was part of today’s UFC 161 event at MTS Centre in Winnipeg. It aired on pay-per-view after prelims on FX and Facebook. Afterward, Jimmo apologized to the crowd, which apparently was distracted by a fight in the stands that contained more action than the 15 minutes that took place in the cage. From the outset, the fight went in fits and starts as Jimmo and Pokrajac traded heavy punches, only to lock up and stall against the cage. They were repeatedly separated by Lavigne, whose interventions failed to break the stalemate
