UFC 180 results: Augusto Montano brutalizes Chris Heatherly with first-round knees

BAD MMA News — Sun, 16 Nov 2014 03:58:48 +0000

MEXICO CITY – Augusto Montano (13-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) used a tireless onslaught of knees to the head and body to wear down and overwhelm Chris Heatherly (8-3 MMA, 0-2 UFC), pinning the smaller fighter against the fence with the assault before eventually forcing referee John McCarthy to call a halt to the bout at 4:50 of Round 1. The welterweight bout was part of the main card of today’s UFC 180 event at Mexico City Arena. It aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass. Early on in this one it looked like the shorter, stockier Heatherly might be able to make Montano pay for his wild attacks, firing back with heavy counter shots and seizing the opportunity for a takedown in the first half of the round. But Montano proved to be up for the challenge, and after finding his range against Heatherly wasted no time turning up the pressure, forcing Heatherly back with a flying knee to the body. With Heatherly covering up against the fence, Montano poured it on to keep him on the defensive, mixing up the knees to the head and the body as Heatherly could only cover up and wait for the cascade of punishment to end.

UFC 180 pre-fight facts: Dennis Bermudez owns featherweight record books

BAD MMA News — Wed, 12 Nov 2014 22:52:58 +0000

UFC 180 is the organization’s debut event in Mexico, and though the card has been riddled with injuries and is far from what was first announced, it’s still a historic event as the octagon sets up in a new country for the 15th time. The third interim champion in UFC heavyweight history will be crowned as Fabricio Werdum (18-5-1 MMA, 6-2 UFC) and Mark Hunt (10-8-1 MMA, 5-2-1 UFC) collide in a five-round affair that will determine who will unify the titles with Cain Velasquez once he returns from a knee injury. Werdum has spent several months acclimating to the brutal elevation needed to compete at Mexico City Arena, but Hunt has only had a little more than three weeks to prepare for the pay-per-view event after he stepped in for Velasquez on short notice. A heavyweight fight has not headlined a UFC PPV since October 2013, but more than a year later, the organization’s largest division is back in the spotlight, and there’s plenty of numbers to digest. For the figures behind Werdum vs
