BAD MMA News — Sat, 08 Jan 2022 00:23:47 +0000

Xtreme Couture is MMA Junkie’s 2021 Gym of the Year. In a year filled with ups and downs for the majority of high-profile MMA gyms, Xtreme Couture quietly built up a strong 2021 resume with two UFC titles and assisting numerous other fighters to go undefeated over the 12-month stretch. Heavyweight Francis Ngannou and bantamweight Aljamain Sterling both captured UFC titles in 2021 with lead-up preparation at Xtreme Couture. Sean Strickland emerged as a top middleweight contender with back-to-back wins over Krzysztof Jotko and Uriah Hall, and Casey O’Neill skyrocketed up the women’s flyweight rankings with three straight victories

Video: Cheyanne Buys reignites fighter pay conversation, and it’s not a good look

BAD MMA News — Thu, 05 Aug 2021 15:11:15 +0000

Cheyanne Buys made a pretty big splash with her first UFC win this past Saturday – and it mostly was peripheral to her first-round TKO win. Buys (6-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) took out Gloria de Paula (5-4 MMA, 0-2 UFC) in the UFC on ESPN 28 co-main event. After the card, she picked up a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus – and that turned out to be huge for her. Buys said at her post-fight news conference that her bank account was negative after she and her husband packed up to move from Dallas to Las Vegas, and she had taken out some big loans to essentially fund her career and stay afloat for the fight.
