Video: Check out the best spinning finishes in UFC history

BAD MMA News — Thu, 27 Feb 2020 14:51:36 +0000

To mangle a legendary Nick Diaz saying, you want spinning (expletive), you got spinning (expletive). A spinning knockout is the best of all worlds in mixed martial arts. Not only does it have “wow factor” necessary for a memorable moment – have you ever seen a boring spinning finish? – but it also highlights the sport at its technical finest. With that in mind, the UFC has put together a highlight reel of some of the flashiest spinning back fists, elbows and kicks ever seen in the octagon. From Uriah Hall to John Makdessi to Paul Felder to Dennis Siver and so many more, there’s a little something in here for everyone.

Ahead of his UFC-Fresno headliner, watch Cub Swanson’s decimation of Dennis Siver

BAD MMA News — Sat, 09 Dec 2017 15:33:33 +0000

Filed under: Featured , News , UFC , Videos Cub Swanson is on a pretty stellar run right now with four straight featherweight wins. It’s been so solid, in fact, that when champ Max Holloway lost Frankie Edgar as his UFC 218 opponent and got Jose Aldo as a replacement, there was a fairly significant outcry that Swanson should’ve been given the title shot, instead. But he was kept in his spot headlining Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 123, which takes place at Save Mart Center in Fresno, Calif

UFC-Oklahoma City’s 10 memorable moments, with controversy and comebacks, good and bad

BAD MMA News — Tue, 27 Jun 2017 17:53:33 +0000

Filed under: Featured , News , UFC The main event of Sunday’s UFC Fight Night 112 fight card was supposed to set up the victor for a matchup against a top contender in the lightweight division. That could still happen – after all, Kevin Lee did earn a first-round submission win over Michael Chiesa , but the level of controversy surrounding the stoppage, and more precisely the man who made the call, referee Mario Yamasaki, might prevent Lee from getting that immediate jump up in competition. The co-main event had no such drama. In that bout, Tim Boetsch put Johny Hendricks away with a head kick and punches, earning himself a TKO victory early in the second round. UFC Fight Night 112 took place at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Okla.

UFC Fight Night 112 post-event facts: Don’t let controversy overshadow Kevin Lee’s success

BAD MMA News — Mon, 26 Jun 2017 19:16:00 +0000

The UFC’s return to Oklahoma City, Okla., provided plenty of fight time, with eight of the 13 fights on Sunday’s UFC Fight Night 112 lineup at Chesapeake Energy Arena going to a decision. Kevin Lee (16-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) didn’t need the scorecards to win the lightweight main event against Michael Chiesa (14-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC), but he could have used better officiating; his first-round submission win was overshadowed by a premature stoppage from referee Mario Yamasaki.
