Rizin FF 15 results: Prochazka stops ‘King Mo’ to claim belt, Horiguchi wins again

BAD MMA News — Sun, 21 Apr 2019 13:02:57 +0000

More than three years after their first meeting, Jiri Prochazka (24-3-1) extracted a measure of revenge against Muhammed Lawal (21-9) and claimed Rizin FF’s inaugural light heavyweight title in the process. The matchup served as the headlining bout of Sunday’s Rizin FF 15 event, which took place at Yokohama Arena in Japan. Lawal struck a low stance to open the contest, kicking at the leg as the taller Prochazka looked to work from range. It was Lawal who started pressing with punches first, leaping from range and then slipping back to distance, even if the strikes largely missed.

UFC 221 Athlete Outfitting pay: Yoel Romero’s pay downgraded after missing weight

BAD MMA News — Sun, 11 Feb 2018 14:01:40 +0000

Fighters from Saturday’s UFC 221 event took home UFC Athlete Outfitting pay, a program that launched after the UFC’s deal with Reebok, totaling $171,000. UFC 221 took place at Perth Arena in Perth, Western Australia, Australia, and the main card aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass. Leading the way was Luke Rockhold (16-4 MMA, 6-3 UFC), who received the $30,000 allotment given to those challenging for a title or fighting for a vacant or interim belt. With Yoel Romero missing weight at Friday’s official ceremony, he was no longer eligible to win the belt and also was not rewarded with that tier of compensation.
