UFC, Bellator, Cage Warriors vet Rosi Sexton announces retirement from MMA

BAD MMA News — Sat, 21 Jun 2014 14:37:15 +0000

After 18 pro fights over more than 12 years, Rosi Sexton , considered one of the pioneers of women’s MMA, has announced her retirement from the sport. Sexton, 36, brought the news via her website. In an emotionally honest blog post titled “Where next?,” Sexton said, “Right now, there’s a new chapter waiting.” The native of Manchester, England, a bantamweight, sees the end come on the heels of a three-fight losing streak, including decision losses in both her fights in the UFC. Two weeks ago, Sexton returned to Cage Warriors in England and was knocked out by highly regarded prospect Joanna Jedrzejczjk in the second round. “The bottom line – right now I have more to offer the sport outside the cage than inside it,” Sexton said in the post. “I don’t want to give up on being the fighter I believe I’m capable of; but there are bigger things going on.

Scotland’s Martin Delaney focused on Cage Warriors 69, not UFC

BAD MMA News — Sat, 07 Jun 2014 14:37:13 +0000

Undefeated in 11 total fights, Cage Warriors lightweight Martin Delaney doesn’t worry about keeping his perfect record intact. With eight pro and three amateur wins, you’d think the opposite would be true. Delaney is crossing into the territory where he might be scooped up for “The Ultimate Fighter” or as an injury replacement on a UFC Fight Night card. But the Scottish fighter said he can’t be bothered by what could happen in the future

CEO explains rationale for Cage Warriors’ new hefty 60 percent weigh-in fines

BAD MMA News — Tue, 27 May 2014 17:24:06 +0000

Despite some complaints that followed Cage Warriors’ recent introduction of 60 percent fines for fighters who miss weight, company CEO Graham Boylan stands behind his attempt to change the sport. Boylan said fighters were taking advantage of the previous repercussions for missing weight. This was evident at the most recent event, Cage Warriors 68, when seven of the 20 fighters on the card failed to make their contracted weight. Most organizations and/or athletic commissions, especially in North America, implement fines of 20 percent for missing weight. While Cage Warriors previously had a similar rule in existence, Boylan felt issues were still rampant and that a drastic change was needed. “We did this to keep guys in line with their contracted weight,” Boylan told MMAjunkie
