Oklahoma commission reduces Roan Carneiro’s fine from $15,000 to $100

BAD MMA News — Wed, 05 Nov 2014 23:43:14 +0000

Welterweight MMA veteran Roan Carneiro will soon receive $14,900 check from the Oklahoma State Athletic Commission, one month after it withheld 30 percent of his $50,000 purse for showing up late to a pre-fight physical, OSAC Executive Director Joe Miller today told MMAjunkie. “It’s a shame it was that large of a purse, but we had to stay with the system we normally do,” Miller said. According to Miller, in a consent order filed, Carneiro (19-9) took responsibility for violating rules with the OSAC, which today agreed to reduce his fine from $15,000 to $100 on the executive director’s recommendation. Miller said Carneiro agreed to the consent order rather than going through a formal hearing. “He admitted he was late and explained the situation,” Miller said. “I went over the reasons why it’s important to be on time, that he left a lot of people hanging, not knowing where he’s at.

Battlegrounds MMA winner Roan Carneiro will appeal commission’s $15,000 fine

BAD MMA News — Mon, 06 Oct 2014 22:30:24 +0000

Welterweight Roan Carneiro said he wants the money he earned for winning a Battlegrounds MMA tournament this past Friday and will pursue an appeal with the Oklahoma State Athletic Commission after it fined him 30 percent of his purse for reportedly showing up late to a pre-bout physical. Carneiro (19-9) bested three opponents at the event at BOK Center in Tulsa and was supposed to make $50,000. Instead, he took home $35,000 after the commission withheld $15,000. “I don’t know what happened with the commission,” he told MMAjunkie. “Maybe they don’t understand my side. Maybe they think I was late but I wasn’t late

Of the eight men in Battlegrounds MMA’s eight-man welterweight tournament, two were the oldest, and two were the only ones who had single-night tourney experience.

Jesse Taylor’s gameplan for tonight’s Battlegrounds tourney: Snack, use adrenaline

BAD MMA News — Fri, 03 Oct 2014 11:37:14 +0000

As welterweight MMA veteran Jesse Taylor (27-10) points out, his grinding, wrestling-based style works pretty perfectly for a one-night eight-man tournament. Provided he gets his opponents to the mat, and maybe even submits a few early, fighting for 45 minutes is doable. Now, that’s the best-case scenario. As he also pointed out to MMAjunkie Radio, his fate could depend largely on the luck of the draw — the promotion is slotting the first round of matchups via random draw, which took place Thursday. Taylor was paired up against Trey Houston (10-2) in the opening round, which takes place tonight at BOK Center in Tulsa and streams via online pay-per-view, available to purchase and view at MMAjunkie. “It’s kind of the luck of the draw,” Taylor said.

BattleGrounds MMA’s Roan Carneiro keeping others’ careers afloat while struggling with own

BAD MMA News — Thu, 02 Oct 2014 18:52:35 +0000

If you haven’t been following MMA closely for several years, you might have forgotten about Brazilian welterweight Roan Carneiro (16-9). It’s been six years since he fought in the UFC octagon, where he went 2-3 in his first stint. Since then, he’s been struggling to get back. “I’ve had a lot of bad luck getting booked in the last few years,” Carneiro told MMAjunkie in his native Portuguese. “Many of my events were canceled. One event was actually canceled one day before the weigh-ins.
