UFC Champ Jose Aldo Went to Hospital on Tuesday, Diagnosed with Kidney Stones

BAD MMA News — Wed, 07 Aug 2013 20:48:05 +0000

UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo emerged from Saturday’s UFC 163 headlining bout with his belt, but he was far from unscathed. Aldo defeated Chan Sung Jung by TKO stoppage in the fourth round at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, but he fractured his foot in the process. The fractured foot put Aldo on the sidelines with a 90-day medical suspension, but that wasn’t the only reason the champ needed medical attention following the fight. According to a report by UOL , Aldo went to a hospital in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, on Tuesday due to a kidney problem. Dr. Marcio Tannure, who heads the Medical Committee of the Brazilian Athletic Commission, told MMAFighting.com that Aldo was diagnosed with kidney stones. Aldo has already been released from the hospital, and is at home resting

UFC 163 Prelims TV Ratings Suffer From Lack of Promtion and Difficult Summer Season

BAD MMA News — Tue, 06 Aug 2013 21:18:04 +0000

UFC 163: Aldo vs. Korean Zombie failed to drive much interest heading into Saturday’s pay-per-view event, which emanated from Rio de Janeiro, and that was reflected in the TV ratings for the preliminary bout broadcast on FX. The UFC 163 Prelims on FX attracted an audience of 1,000,000 viewers for the four-bout, two-hour broadcast. UFC 163 admittedly suffered from a lack of promotional attention overall with the launch of Fox’s new nationwide sports network, Fox Sports 1, and the re-branding of Fuel TV to Fox Sports 2, receiving the lion’s share of the media giant’s focus.

Through the Past Darkly: Reflections on UFC 163

BAD MMA News — Tue, 06 Aug 2013 04:45:00 +0000

I’m sitting here at my desk on Monday morning with two tabs open on my Internet browser. One shows the fight card for the UFC on FOX 8 event, which was free on network TV here in the States. The other shows the card for UFC 163 this past Saturday night, which was available in standard definition for $45, and HD for $55. The reason I’ve been staring at these two tabs for the past 10 minutes is because I’m trying to figure out the difference in quality that accounts for the radical difference in price. I’m trying, and honestly, I’m not coming up with much. That’s not just the hindsight talking, either. Say you don’t know anything about how either of those events turned out. Say you’re just looking at them on paper, trying to decide which fights are worth watching and which might even be worth paying for.

BAD MMA News — Tue, 06 Aug 2013 02:50:00 +0000

As pictures indicated, UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo suffered a serious foot injury that could keep him out of action for three months. The UFC 163 medical suspensions, which MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) recently requested and today received, indicate Aldo has been given a 90-day term, including 60 days with no contact for a fracture of his right foot. Chan Sung Jung , who challenged Aldo at this past Saturday’s pay-per-view event, could be out even longer.
