Failed UFC stint helped motivate John Teixeira toward current Bellator featherweight run

BAD MMA News — Fri, 25 Sep 2015 19:21:26 +0000

John Teixeira John Teixeira had his first crack at the top levels of the sport more than three years ago. This time, he wants to make things stick. Teixeira was a cast member on the first season of “The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil,” and he got one shot at making it into the UFC after that. But he missed weight fairly significantly for his featherweight bout at UFC 147, then dropped a split call to Hugo Viana. The UFC bid him farewell

Bellator 143 weigh-in results: Nick Gonzalez off by 16.75 pounds; fight vs. Couture scrapped

BAD MMA News — Thu, 24 Sep 2015 23:21:38 +0000

Ryan Couture and Nick Gonzalez The weigh-ins for Friday’s Bellator card in Texas are in the books – with one fighter over the mark for even the weight class above him, let alone the one he was booked to fight in. Nick Gonzalez (18-12 MMA, 0-2 BMMA) came in at 172.75 pounds for his lightweight fight – that’s lightweight , not welterweight – against Ryan Couture (10-3 MMA, 2-0 BMMA), who was 155.5. Consequently, the Couture-Gonzalez fight has been scrapped from the Bellator 143 lineup, promotion officials told MMAjunkie. Couture will be paid his show money. There was no initial word on how quickly Couture would be rebooked for a new fight, or just what Gonzalez’s future with the promotion might be. A photo tweeted out by Bellator officials showed Couture with a look of perhaps disbelief at the weight discrepancy, and Gonzalez with his eyes closed.
