Chad Mendes would only return to BKFC for a rematch with Eddie Alvarez

BAD MMA News — Fri, 09 Aug 2024 01:52:56 +0000

ABU DHABI – Chad Mendes is done with BKFC – unless he’s offered another shot at Eddie Alvarez . Mendes hung up his gloves after losing a split decision to Alvarez at BKFC 41 in April 2023. It was a back-and-forth barnburner that Mendes thought he won. The multiple-time UFC title challenger has little interest in returning to the bareknuckle boxing ring, but would do it if he got the opportunity to avenge his loss to Alvarez

Top 5 featherweight wars in MMA history, ranked

BAD MMA News — Sat, 08 Jul 2023 13:28:02 +0000

The featherweight division, as defined by the unified rules of MMA via the Association of Boxing Commissions , constitutes of fighters who are between 135 and 145 pounds. In Japan, organizations like Shooto were among the first to form a weight class for 145 pounders in the 1990s, which they classified as lightweight. The division not only gave a platform to smaller Japanese fighters but also featured international crossovers that helped build the names of Brazilians like Alexandre Franca Nogueira. In North America, organizations like the WEC and King of the Cage were doing their part to help pioneer these lighter divisions in the early 2000s – though KOTC technically classified their featherweights as bantamweights due to their division structures. The WEC, in particular, found some real success with its featherweight division thanks in large part to poster boy Urijah Faber, who would go on to be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame.
