BAD MMA News — Mon, 10 May 2021 21:29:48 +0000

Fabricio Werdum wanted justice for his controversial PFL debut, and now he’s got it. The New Jersey State Athletic Control Board has overturned Werdum’s (24-9-1) knockout loss to Renan Ferreira at 2021 PFL 3 this past Thursday to a no contest after reviewing the tape and concluding that the referee missed what should’ve been a fight-ending tap out by Ferreira (6-2). ESPN first reported the change in result on Monday, and Werdum’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz of Dominance MMA, subsequently expressed his pleasure with a successful appeal in a statement on Twitter

PFL 3 winner Brandon Sayles says underdog status vs. Mohammed Usman was good thing

BAD MMA News — Sat, 08 May 2021 14:41:20 +0000

For Brandon Sayles , the element of unpredictability worked out for him. All eyes were on Mohammed Usman, the younger brother of UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman (7-2) who was making his promotional debut against Sayles (6-1) at Thursday’s 2021 PFL 3 in Atlantic City, N.J.

Ray Sefo says big upsets are ’1,000 percent positive’ for PFL brand

BAD MMA News — Sat, 08 May 2021 13:16:30 +0000

Despite some of the promotion’s biggest stars losing their opening bouts in the 2021 PFL season, Ray Sefo is unconcerned. In fact, the PFL president thinks it’s a good thing that some of the heavy betting favorites have faltered, as it has resulted in some thoroughly entertaining moments. In the first three weeks of the 2021 PFL season, we’ve seen the likes of former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis, two-time PFL champions Natan Schulte and Lance Palmer, and former UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum all fall short in their respective bouts.

Kayla Harrison admits she’s chasing Amanda Nunes: ‘My goal is to be the greatest of all-time’

BAD MMA News — Fri, 07 May 2021 12:38:08 +0000

Kayla Harrison knows to be the best you have to beat the best, and she says that’s what she’s willing to do. 2019 PFL women’s lightweight champion Harrison (9-0) continued to run through competition when she made quick work of Mariana Morais (16-11) with an 83-second TKO at 2021 PFL 3 on Thursday. As she continues to dominate her competition, questions of a potential fight with UFC dual-champ Amanda Nunes (21-4 MMA, 14-4 UFC) keep surfacing. Harrison is currently focused on her PFL season, but the two-time Olympic gold medalist eventually wants to lock horns with the consensus greatest female fighter of all-time.

From a betting perspective, Brandon Sayles wasn’t expected to be in the game against Mohammed Usman . But after a competitive first round against the UFC welterweight champion’s brother, Sayles (6-1) choked Usman (7-2) unconscious after a second knockdown in the second at 2021 PFL 3 in Atlantic City, N.J. Usman was as much as a 6-1 favorite in the fight. Sayles and Usman beat on each other for the first five minutes, trading punches and kicks, and neither fighter seemed to really stun the other. Midway through the second, Sayles dropped Usman and tried to put him away on the canvas.
