BAD MMA News — Wed, 26 Jun 2019 13:46:40 +0000

Bare Knuckle FC 6 took place last weekend with one of the most anticipated fights of the year in all of combat sports. In the main event, former UFC fighter Artem Lobov and ex-boxing champion Paulie Malignaggi finally settled their heated rivalry inside the ring, with “The Russian Hammer” pulling off a stunning unanimous-decision win after five rounds. The fight itself might have lacked fire to observers considering all the pre-fight sizzle. But still, as is the nature of bare-knuckle boxing, both men walked away with battle wounds – even if it was just one clean punch that Lobov landed

He wasn’t going to be dumb enough to stand in the pocket and trade all night with a former two-weight world boxing champion. “The clinch is the huge part of my gameplan; I don’t want to (expletive) mess around with a pro boxer,” Lobov said at the post-fight news conference in Tampa, Fla.

It wasn’t everybody’s cup of tea, but there’s little doubt that for sheer intrigue, interest and attention, BKFC 6 was a rousing success on Saturday night in Tampa, Florida. The fight card delivered action aplenty at the Florida State Fairgrounds Expo Hall, but it was really all about the night’s main event, as former two-division world boxing champion Paulie Malignaggi faced off against former UFC fighter Artem Lobov . The build-up was ill-tempered, badly-behaved and tetchy, and it set the stage for a fight that captured the imagination of a fair cross-section of the MMA and boxing fan communities.

Bare Knuckle FC 6 results: Dakota Cochrane batters Chris Leben for one-sided decision

BAD MMA News — Sun, 23 Jun 2019 04:15:48 +0000

Chris Leben ’s spirit is still willing, but the reflexes aren’t quite what they used to be. Leben took on Dakota Cochrane in the co-feature bout of Bare Knuckle FC 6 on Saturday night, and while he had his moments, he ran out of gas pretty fast. Cochrane’s forward pressure wore the popular veteran known as “The Crippler” down and while he couldn’t get the finish, he was rarely threatened. Cochrane cruised to a unanimous decision victory, earning scores of 49-46, 49-46, and 48-47. “I tried to keep that forward pressure and try to land shots,” Cochrane, said “Try not to move back as much as possible. He’s a big dude.” Leben’s game plan from the outset to try to draw Cochrane in close and score with dirty boxing in the clinch.
