BAD MMA News — Mon, 02 Mar 2015 21:32:33 +0000

Women’s bantamweight Raquel Pennington is benched for six months – or until cleared by a doctor – for possible dual fractures of her hands. The California State Athletic Commission today released medical suspensions for this past Saturday’s pay-per-view event to MMAjunkie following a records request. The fight card took place at Los Angeles’ Staples Center. Preliminary-card fights aired live on FOX Sports and UFC Fight Pass. After three rounds, Pennington lost a split decision to Holly Holm , who remains undefeated and could be on the short list to face champ Ronda Rousey , who needed just 14 seconds to armbar challenger Cat Zingano .

BAD MMA News — Sun, 01 Mar 2015 18:32:41 +0000

Ronda Rousey’s statistical greatness has already ventured into unchartered territory – just five fights into her UFC career. Two fights ago, it was the second fastest knockout in UFC title fight history. On Saturday at UFC 184 in Los Angeles, it was the fastest finish ever in a championship bout when Rousey (11-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) tapped out Cat Zingano (9-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) in just 14 seconds to retrain her women’s bantamweight title. Rousey has spent 30 seconds of total cage time over her past two bouts, but in that short period, she’s managed to shatter a number of longstanding records.
