Bantamweight Bryce Mitchell is a 12-fight UFC veteran that does not have health insurance. He suffered a broken nose in training on Tuesday and took to social media to beg for someone to set his nose for free. “Thug Nasty” posted a video to instagram showing his badly crooked nose stuffed with gauze drenched in blood. “Searcy can anyone help me please

T.J. Grant’s sensible response to concussion woes, and why it should worry us

BAD MMA News — Tue, 17 Sep 2013 22:45:00 +0000

Here’s a pretty depressing hypothetical for you. Say T.J. Grant – he of the jiu-jitsu concussion, he who recently announced that he would be foregoing his second proposed UFC lightweight title shot while his brain heals – never gets his crack at the belt.

Recounting concussion, T.J. Grant fires back at ‘idiot’ conspiracy theorists

BAD MMA News — Sat, 13 Jul 2013 22:15:00 +0000

For the past month, T.J. Grant (21-5 MMA, 8-3 UFC) has been living inside his own head. After suffering a concussion – during a grappling session, of all things – Grant has been praying his brain would heal in time for him to compete at UFC 164. Now that it hasn’t, Grant is disgusted by those questioning his will. “Conspiracy theorists are idiots and douchebags,” Grant told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “I don’t even know why I addressed it, to tell you the truth. You see people writing these things, and for people to think that I would do that for what

Dana White has little patience for ‘f—ing idiots’ who say UFC 162 was fixed

LAS VEGAS – UFC President Dana White has a term for people who think Saturday’s UFC 162 headliner was fixed. It’s not a very nice one. However, when stakes are high and your brain can’t fully comprehend what just happened, White said it should be a reminder about the uncertain nature of combat sports – and not fodder for conspiracy theories. Soon after Anderson Silva tempted fate one too many times and suffered a crushing second-round TKO loss to new UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman , the cries of a fight fix inundated social media. “It happened so fast – and some of you said it, and I was thinking the same thing – ‘What just happened

Video: Never a drug user, but UFC 161 winner James Krause is sweating drug test

BAD MMA News — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:45:00 +0000

Your brain has a funny way of working when $100,000 is all but guaranteed to be heading your way. Just ask James Krause . After accepting a late-notice bout with fellow lightweight Sam Stout (21-8-1 MMA, 8-8 UFC) this past weekend at UFC 161, Krause (20-4 MMA, 1-0 UFC) earned “Fight of the Night” and “Submission of the Night” honors after tapping out the Canadian for the first time since 2006. That guillotine choke comes with a $100,000 windfall in bonus money for the UFC newcomer. Assuming, of course, that Krause passes his post-fight drug test. “Yes, I’m sweating it, but no, I’ve never done an illegal drug in my life,” he told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). “But I’m sweating it

Twitter Mailbag: Rampage, Rua-Sonnen, Bonnar in HOF, six-packs and PEDs

Between Quinton “Rampage” Jackson’s big Bellator news and the UFC 161 switcheroo, this week’s Twitter Mailbag is practically bursting at the purely figurative seams. But don’t worry. There’s room for all the hot topics here, from Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira ‘s chances to pull off another Brazilian miracle to B.J. Penn ‘s post-retirement prospects, and much more. You can ask your own question on Twitter at @BenFowlkesMMA , but first you’re going to want to sit down and dig right in to this week’s #TMB. * * * * My brain says that Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira won’t beat Fabricio Werdum at UFC on FUEL TV 10 this Saturday, but my gut says that you can never count out “Big Nog,” especially in Brazil.
