UFC 163 Results: Cesar Ferreira vs. Thiago “Marreta” Santos

BAD MMA News — Sun, 04 Aug 2013 07:49:53 +0000

It didn’t take Cezar “Mutante” Ferreira to show why he was the winner of the first season of The Ultimate Fighter Brazil and Thiago “Marreta” Santos was out early during his stint on TUF 2. Ferreira and Santos squared off on the main card of UFC 163 at HSBC Arena on Saturday night in Rio de Janeiro. Ferreira had been out of action since winning TUF Brazil last year at UFC 147, dealing with a couple of surgeries and relocating his camp to the Blackzilians, following his mentor Vitor Belfort to Florida. He hasn’t lost a step in all that time. If anything, he’s only improved. Ferreira didn’t get a chance to show a lot of his game on Saturday night. He made quick work of Santos, dropping him early with a looping left hand

LAS VEGAS – Luke Rockhold felt some first-time octagon jitters – he admits it. Despite his fair share of fights on the big stage, Rockhold said he definitely noticed a difference when he made his UFC debut in May against Vitor Belfort in Brazil. That fight resulted in a first-round knockout loss from a Belfort spinning kick to the head. “It was really bright,” Rockhold on Wednesday told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) at a charity event in Las Vegas. “That’s the one thing that was a little different. (And) the mat was a little slippery – I’m not gonna lie

Dan Henderson is Focused on Rashad Evans, but Unfinished Business with Jon Jones Lingers

UFC light heavyweight Dan Henderson is focused on his June 15 main event bout with former light heavyweight titleholder Rashad Evans at UFC 161, but he still wants the fight that didn’t get to happen with champion Jon Jones . Henderson and Jones were scheduled to meet in the UFC 151 main event on Sept. 1, 2012, but a knee injury forced Henderson out of the fight and eventually led to the cancellation of the event. Jones instead faced Vitor Belfort at UFC 152 and Henderson’s title shot dematerialized. The 42-year-old returned at UFC 157, losing to Lyoto Machida by split decision in an uneventful fight. The loss removed Henderson from title contention, but the thought of facing Jones remains. “Obviously that’s something that was supposed to happen last year and didn’t.

UFC on FX 8 ‘Fight of the Night’ winner Lucas Martins to drop two weight classes

BAD MMA News — Sat, 01 Jun 2013 15:30:00 +0000

Brazilian knockout artist Lucas Martins (13-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) will drop down not just one but two divisions for his next UFC appearance. MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) today learned from Martins’ manager, Wade Hampel, that the 24-year-old “Mineiro” will fight at bantamweight in his next UFC appearance. “I requested the change this morning with Sean Shelby and Joe Silva, and they signed off on it,” Hampel said. Martins weighed in at just 153 pounds for his lightweight bout with Jeremy Larson at UFC on FX 8, which took place in May in Jaragua do Sul, Brazil. The bout served as the evening’s very first contest, and Martins and Larson went back and forth in an entertaining contest before the Brazilian landed a pinpoint straight to the chin that ended the fight 13 seconds into the final round. The win earned Martins a $50,000 “Fight of the Night” bonus, and he was the leading candidate to take home the card’s “Knockout of the Night” bonus, as well, before Vitor Belfort scored a spinning heel kick finish of Luke Rockhold in the evening’s main event.
