BAD MMA News — Wed, 14 Aug 2024 02:48:32 +0000

LAS VEGAS – It’ll be at least four more months before UFC fans see Conor McGregor compete again, according to promotion CEO Dana White. The saga involving McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) has dragged on for over three years, through leg surgery and recovery, an “ Ultimate Fighter ” coaching stint, a booking, a withdrawal due to a toe injury, and to present day. For much of that time, McGregor has been aligned with Michael Chandler , who remains waiting for another official booking against his penciled-in foe. But Chandler (23-8 MMA, 2-3 UFC) will have to wait even longer now. White revealed Tuesday after Dana White’s Contender Series 67 that McGregor won’t return until at least early 2025. “He wants to fight, so we’ll figure it out,” White told reporters including MMA Junkie.

Mansur Abdul-Malik had hype entering Dana White’s Contender Series 67 – and apparently for good reason. In Tuesday’s headlining bout at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Abdul-Malik (6-0) finished opponent Wes Schultz (6-2) with ground-and-pound elbows at 3:55 of Round 3. The back-and-forth bout was entertaining throughout. Both fighters have wrestling backgrounds, but Abdul-Malik appeared to be the stronger grappler.

Lone’er Kavanagh kicked off Dana White’s Contender Series, Season 8 with a bang Tuesday when he scored a knockout that left the UFC CEO writing “holy sh*t” on his bout sheet. In the season opener, Kavanagh (7-0) clobbered previously undefeated An Tuan Ho (6-1) with a brutal left hook that ended the fight at 2:35 of Round 1. The bout took place at DWCS 67 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Ho was down on the canvas for an elongated period of time, blankly staring into the distance as his corners, medical staff, and referee Herb Dean tried to assist him in coming back to. Eventually, Ho rose to his feet under his own power but was not present for the reading of the official decision
