CES MMA 44 video highlights: Matt Bessette wants to know if the UFC is watching

BAD MMA News — Sat, 13 May 2017 13:22:44 +0000

Filed under: AXS TV Fights , News , Videos Matt Bessette did enough damage in the CES MMA 44 main event on Friday that a doctor took a look at Rey Trujillo after 10 minutes and shut the whole thing down. It wasn’t a walk in the park, necessarily, for Bessette (22-7), but the CES MMA featherweight champ kept his title against the gritty Trujillo (21-19) in the AXS TV-broadcast main event from Twin River Casino in Lincoln, R.I. Then Bessette wanted to know why UFC President Dana White and matchmaker Sean Shelby aren’t blowing up his phone yet. Maybe they will be after Friday night. Also on the card, Greg Rebello (22-7) had difficulty putting Kevin Ray Sears (4-3) with his hands, so he just choked him out instead.

CES MMA 44 results: Matt Bessette keeps featherweight title after doctor’s stoppage

BAD MMA News — Sat, 13 May 2017 04:27:20 +0000

Reynaldo Trujillo gave a valiant effort in what was his second fight in a two week stretch. But he didn’t have enough to overcome CES MMA featherweight champion Matt Bessette , succumbing to a doctor’s stoppage after the second round in Friday’s CES MMA 44 headliner. Bessette (22-7) had to empty the tank in order to put Trujillo (21-19) into position for the fight to be stopped, but his striking game eventually inflicted enough punishment to force the doctor to wave off the action in the AXS TV-televised bout at Twin River Casino in Lincoln, R.I.

BAD MMA News — Fri, 12 May 2017 16:30:29 +0000

Filed under: AXS TV Fights , Featured Videos , News , Videos As far as rollercoaster MMA careers go, Sean Soriano ’s is a rather extreme example. After an 8-0 start to his pro run, he made his UFC debut in 2014. The UFC Fight Night 34 scrap against Tatsuya Kawajiri, however, didn’t go over well for Soriano, who got choked out in the second round. Two setbacks followed, which put an end to the 27-year-old’s UFC run after one year. Soriano rebounded with a knockout win at Legacy FC 48, but he went on to lose the following two under the AXS TV Fights banner, and he now has a recent 1-5 record
