BAD MMA News — Fri, 11 Oct 2019 00:47:05 +0000

Once again, the UFC takes us behind the scenes of its latest pay-per-view: this time at UFC 243 in Melbourne, Australia. UFC 243 took place last Saturday at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia. The main card aired on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and UFC Fight Pass/ESPN+. In the UFC 243 “Thrill and Agony” preview, we get a behind-the-scenes look at the immediate aftermath of the main event between Israel Adesanya and Robert Whittaker , as well as the co-main event between Daniel Hooker and Al Iaquinta . In the main event, Adesanya (18-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) proved the doubters wrong with his stoppage of Whittaker (20-5 MMA, 11-3 UFC). The Nigerian ended the fight with a barrage of punches in the second round, which left the then-champion bleeding on the canvas

Dan Hooker, right, and Mark Eddiva BRISBANE, Australia – Daniel Hooker was just getting started when he found himself fending off a single-leg takedown attempt from Mark Eddiva . But rather than content himself with stymying the attempt to get him to the mat, Hooker (13-6 MMA, 3-2 UFC) did one better, locking up a guillotine choke while Eddiva (6-3 MMA, 1-3 UFC) was preoccupied with the leg, and using it to force the submission at the 1:24 mark of Round 1. The featherweight bout was part of today’s UFC Fight Night 85 preliminary card at Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It aired on FOX Sports 1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass. The fight itself lasted only 84 seconds, and Eddiva seemed to be in trouble for about half of it

The featherweight bout closed out the preliminary card of today’s UFC 192 event at Toyota Center in Houston. It aired on FOX Sports 1 following additional prelims on UFC Fight Pass and ahead of a main card on pay-per-view. The early part of Round 1 was spent with the fighters circling and barely engaging before Rodriguez (6-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) unloaded with leg kicks and wild spinning kicks that kept Hooker (12-6 MMA, 2-2 UFC) on his back foot. After more varied striking from Rodriguez, Hooerk attempted to score a takedown only to find himself nearly in a guillotine choke before being thrown to the canvas
