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. He was suspended 180 days or until cleared by a doctor for a shoulder dislocation that helped bring a halt to the title fight in the fourth round when Aldo took advantage after seeing the injury and earned a TKO stoppage. UFC 163 took place at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro. Its main card aired live on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and Facebook

Jose Aldo thinks he may have broken foot during UFC 163 win over ‘Korean Zombie’

BAD MMA News — Sun, 04 Aug 2013 10:25:00 +0000

RIO DE JANEIRO – Jose Aldo was dominant once again on Saturday, but it may be a while before he’s able to be again. Aldo (23-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC), the UFC’s featherweight champion, defended his title with a fourth-round TKO of Chan Sung Jung (13-4 MMA, 3-1 UFC) in the main event of UFC 163, which took place at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janiero. Aldo won the fight not long after Jung, “The Korean Zombie,” appeared to separate his right shoulder throwing a combination. When Aldo saw the shoulder injury, he took advantage and got a fairly quick TKO in the fourth round. But after the fight, Aldo said he was injured, too. The Brazilian fighter believes he may have broken his foot against Jung. “He knew I’d be giving him low kicks, and I think the first combination I kicked straight at his knee,” Aldo told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) at the event’s post-fight news conference. “I don’t know if I broke my foot, but I can hardly walk on it.

ABC to recommend new MMA language for downed fighters

BAD MMA News — Mon, 29 Jul 2013 20:05:00 +0000

The concept of what constitutes a downed fighter could change following this week’s meeting of the Association of Boxing Commissions, which oversees MMA’s regulatory bodies. Commission representatives Nick Lembo (New Jersey), Bernie Profato (Ohio) and Keith Kizer (Nevada), who represent some of MMA’s busiest and most prominent regulatory bodies, will present their plan at Wednesday’s ABC meeting in San Antonio. Lembo will argue their case, in which the regulators want referees to instruct fighters that placing a finger tip on the canvas won’t necessarily make them a downed fighter. In recent years, many standing fighters have taken advantage of the current language used in the Unified Rules of MMA. That helps them avoid knees or kicks to the head, or possibly put their opponent in danger of a warning or point deduction.

UFC on FOX 8 results/photos: Danny Castillo gets past range of Tim Means

BAD MMA News — Sun, 28 Jul 2013 03:30:00 +0000

SEATTLE – Danny Castillo seemed to have a hard time solving the distance puzzle that Tim Means brought him, but he did enough to leave with his hand raised. Castillo landed takedowns in each round to control the fight’s tempo when he wasn’t able to get past the reach advantage Means presented, and he took home a unanimous decision with a trio of 29-28 scores. The 160-pound catchweight bout (Means did not make weight) was part of today’s UFC on FOX 8 event at KeyArena in Seattle. It aired on FX following additional prelims on Facebook and ahead of a main card on FOX. Castillo missed with a high kick early, but when Means tried to take advantage of Castillo slipping to the canvas, Castillo got a takedown and went to work on top. Castillo worked for ground-and-pound, and when Means got back to his feet with 90 seconds left in the round, Castillo quickly took him back down. But Means was back to his feet not long after that and landed a big left hand that seemed to stun Castillo for a moment.

Albert looked for a triangle choke from the ground, but when he got back to his feet, he had to quickly scramble out of danger from a Meza guillotine choke

Dennis Siver: “I Think I Have A Lot More Power in This Weight Class” (UFC 162 Video)

BAD MMA News — Thu, 04 Jul 2013 06:09:26 +0000

Since dropping from the lightweight division to the 145-pound weight class, Dennis Siver has won back-to-back fights. He takes on Cub Swanson at UFC 162 on Saturday and believes the change in weight class gives him an advantage that he didn’t have in the lightweight division. “It’s an advantage at the moment because the people in this weight division are smaller,” said Siver during the UFC 162 open workouts on Wednesday. ” I think I have a lot more power in this weight class and have the advantage now because I am the same size as the other guys in this weight class.” Be sure to Like MMAWeekly.com on Facebook and Follow @MMAWeeklycom on Twitter .

XFC 24 Results: Scott Holtzman Makes a Statement, Captures XFC Lightweight Title

BAD MMA News — Sat, 15 Jun 2013 09:30:16 +0000

Scott Holtzman seized the night at XFC 24 on Friday night at the Sun Dome in Tampa, Fla., capturing the vacant XFC lightweight title. Holtzman had initially planned on facing XFC champion Nick Newell for the belt on Friday night, but that was before Newell declined the fight, was stripped of his title, and eventually exited the promotion, signing with the World Series of Fighting. With Newell out of the picture, the XFC matched Holtzman up with John Mahlow for the vacant title, and Holtzman took full advantage of the moment. Mahlow scored an early takedown, but as the fight wore on, Holtzman ramped up his takedown defense and a blistering offensive attack. He cut Mahlow with a spinning elbow, then took him down and ground and pounded in the opening round. Holtzman kept the attack going in round two, grounding Mahlow again. He attempted a submission, but eventually finished the fight by unloading with punches until the referee called a halt to the bout. XFC 24 Results Main Bouts: – Scott Holtzman def
