Wrong Dong: How Devonte Smith reacted to UFC 234 booking

BAD MMA News — Fri, 08 Feb 2019 20:19:44 +0000

“What are you all on?” Those were Devonte Smith ’s words upon learning of his opponent at UFC 234. The UFC lightweight is down to fight anybody in the octagon. But not at a significant disadvantage, which is why he was a little upset at his manager when he heard he’d be fighting Dong Hyun Kim . “I understand I’m a strong dude, but y’all understand this dude, he fought Tyron Woodley,” Smith (9-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) told MMAjunkie.

Filed under: News , UFC , Videos (ALSO SEE: Sean Shelby’s Shoes: What’s next for UFC 217’s winning fighters ?) UFC 217 was not a good night for champions. All three titleholders who entered the octagon dropped their belts with a stoppage loss on Saturday’s pay-per-view card at Madison Square Garden in New York. The fairytale title reign of Michael Bisping (30-8 MMA, 20-8 UFC) came to a halt in the main event when he dropped the middleweight title to Georges St-Pierre (26-2 MMA, 20-2 UFC) with a third-round technical submission . Prior to that, Cody Garbrandt (11-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) and Joanna Jedrzejczyk (14-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) had their undefeated records, as well as UFC titles, taken away with knockout losses to T.J.

10 memorable moments from UFC-Singapore, where Holly Holm kicked her way back toward the top

BAD MMA News — Mon, 19 Jun 2017 17:37:44 +0000

Life can change in a flash. That’s the lesson former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm taught Bethe Correia during the main event of Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 111. Early in the third round, Correia tried to goad Holm into closing the distance between them, beckoning Holm to come just a little closer with a wave of her hands. Holm, one of the most patient counter-strikers in the UFC, refused the invitation. Instead, she uncorked a head kick, dropping Correia to the mat and ending the fight in highlight reel fashion. The win ended Holm’s three-fight losing skid and could open up options for her at bantamweight or featherweight.
