BAD MMA News — Fri, 03 Jan 2025 14:15:05 +0000

It’s been more than a dozen years since UFC legend Georges St-Pierre and Carlos Condit turned in an all-timer. Now you can relive the classic fight from UFC 154 in St-Pierre’s home city of Montreal – all 25 minutes of the Fight of the Night winner at Bell Centre that saw St-Pierre defend his welterweight title in a unification fight with Condit, who was the interim champion. The fight was the first for GSP in nearly 20 months after a knee surgery, and he was dominant, including a pair of 50-45 scores. St-Pierre retired in 2017 after he won the UFC’s middleweight title.

Top 5 welterweight wars in MMA history, ranked

BAD MMA News — Thu, 14 Dec 2023 16:04:22 +0000

Although the welterweight class in MMA is decently heavier than its contemporaries in other combat sports, it keeps in the tradition of offering a rich history of memorable battles. Japanese organizations like Shooto have typically referred to fighters between 156-171 lbs. as “middleweights,” while the UFC’s 170-pound division dates back to the late 90s when the organization anointed its first welterweight champion, Pat Militech , at UFC 17.5 in Brazil. Since then, the division has produced a slew of great fights and Hall of Fame fighters alike

LOS ANGELES – Aaron Pico has been guided into Bellator 286 by an all-star cast of names. Pico (10-3 MMA, 10-3 BMMA), who meets Jeremy Kennedy in a key bantamweight bout on tonight’s card at Long Beach Arena in Long Beach, Calif., has had no shortage of positive influence going into a bout he believes could secure him a title shot for the first time. Although he’s no stranger with working with decorated names, the lead-up to Bellator 278, which airs on Showtime following prelims on MMA Junkie, has been something especially unique. Pico’s coach Brandon Gibson connected him with former interim UFC welterweight champion Carlos Condit , who was very close throughout training camp.

MMA is a constantly evolving sport with a revolving door of athletes entering and exiting. Currently, fighters from the era that helped make the sport so popular are beginning to trickle away from competition and hang up their gloves in order to move on to the next chapter in life. If there’s one thing that’s well known about combat sports retirements, though, it’s that they often don’t last long

Video: Joseph Benavidez or Carlos Condit? Pick one for the UFC Hall of Fame.

BAD MMA News — Thu, 23 Sep 2021 22:50:23 +0000

A couple of UFC legends decided to call it a career last week as Joseph Benavidez and Carlos Condit announced their retirements from MMA. Benavidez closes out his career with a 28-8 overall record and 20-8 in UFC/WEC competition, while Condit ended 32-14 overall and 14-10 in the UFC/WEC. Between them, only one claimed major gold. Condit was a WEC welterweight champion with three title defenses before the promotion was absorbed by the UFC, where he claimed an interim title by beating Nick Diaz in February 2012 before losing an undisputed title fight to Georges St-Pierre by unanimous decision later that year. Benavidez, meanwhile, fell short five times of reaching the top. He first lost a WEC bantamweight title fight against Dominick Cruz in 2010.
