UFC free fight: Neil Magny TKOs Craig White at UFC Fight Night 130

BAD MMA News — Tue, 19 Jan 2021 15:01:46 +0000

When Neil Magny ’s original opponent Gunnar Nelson was forced off the fight card at UFC Fight Night 130 in Liverpool in May 2018, the UFC veteran was handed a hungry Brit looking to make a name for himself on home soil. But “The Haitian Sensation” kept his cool to claim a first-round TKO finish. Matched with a late replacement, Cage Warriors veteran Craig White , Magny had to endure some early pressure as “Thundercat” surged forward and forced the action against the cage in the opening seconds of the bout. An accidental knee to the groin from Magny eased the pressure initially but, after taking some time to recover, White went straight back to his high-pressure approach after the restart

“I’m good at this,” newly-crowned champ James Webb said, as he admired his handy work in the big screen following Cage Warriors 102’s main event. “Look at that, it’s perfect.” It might not seem like the most modest of assessments, but it was well-earned. “Perfect” was, after all, a fitting descriptor for the submission that forced Thomas Robertsen (7-2) to tap and earned Webb (6-1) the promotion’s vacant middleweight title.

What Diego Sanchez got right – and wrong – about calls for his retirement prior to UFC 228 win

BAD MMA News — Mon, 10 Sep 2018 22:58:14 +0000

Diego Sanchez earned more than just a win at UFC 228 – he earned himself some time. That’s the conventional wisdom in these situations, anyway. See, the way it works is that when the losses and the knockouts and the general physical abuse all start to pile up, then we start asking you, in tones that are less and less polite, to stop. Sanchez heard these requests. He wasn’t about to obey them, but they still bothered him

Diego Sanchez: Kiss on the nose from Craig White at UFC 228 weigh-ins ‘did me a favor’

BAD MMA News — Sun, 09 Sep 2018 17:58:59 +0000

DALLAS – You wouldn’t have guessed it by his reaction at the time, but Diego Sanchez was glad that Craig White leaned in and gave him a little kiss on the nose at the UFC 228 ceremonial weigh-ins. Why? Mostly because it helped solidify the mindset that Sanchez (28-11 MMA, 17-11 UFC) had been trying to adopt as he prepared for this bout, one that eschewed sportsmanship in favor of savagery, and once White kissed him he no longer felt the least bit bad about refusing to shake the man’s hand. “I was like, honestly

What mattered most at UFC 228? Here’s a thing or two … What have you got to say about T-Wood now? They said Tyron Woodley was a hopelessly boring fighter. They said Darren Till was being rushed into a title shot due to timing and circumstances. They were right about one thing, and maybe it served to help disprove the other. After doing almost nothing in the first round, Till walked into a Woodley right hand to start the second
