PFL 6 results: Ray Cooper III scores 18-second blowout; Kayla Harrison dominates in second fight

BAD MMA News — Fri, 17 Aug 2018 05:02:23 +0000

Ray Cooper III proved his breakthrough victory against Jake Shields in the PFL welterweight season opener was no fluke when he steamrolled Pavel Kusch just seconds into Thursday’s PFL 6 headliner. Cooper III (14-4) put himself in a prominent position in the 170-pound season standings with an 18-second knockout of Kusch (23-5) in the NBCSN-televised headliner at Ocean Resort Casino in Atlantic City, N.J. After picking up five points with his upset of Shields at PFL 3 in July, Cooper came back just five weeks later to earn six points in what was arguably an even more impressive performance against Kusch. Cooper III came out on fire as he rocked Kusch with a hard shot that put him on the defensive. Once Cooper III smelled blood, he pursued his opponent with bad intentions. He put Kusch down with flurry of punches that caused referee Keith Peterson to step in just 18 seconds after the fight began

Why ‘TUF 19′ winner Eddie Gordon joined ‘TUF 25: Redemption’ after vowing he’d never go back

BAD MMA News — Wed, 26 Apr 2017 00:30:32 +0000

Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos Eddie Gordon wasn’t quite sure what to think when he got the call asking if he’d like to go back on another season of “The Ultimate Fighter.” After all, Gordon won Season 19 of the show at middleweight. He already was etched in “TUF” and UFC history from that. Why go back through it again? The six weeks away from family and outside communication, the potential for multiple fights, all on short turnaround times with short weight-cut times, and at welterweight instead of middleweight, no less? No thanks, right? But when Gordon had it explained to him that Season 25 of the show was going to be called “Redemption,” and would feature past participants on the show looking for another shot, his wheels started turning.

“The Ultimate Fighter 25: Redemption” opens with a look at the personal struggles of this season’s cast members, including “TUF 2” winner Joe Stevenson , Gilbert Smith and Tom Gallicchio . The insight sets the stage for the upcoming season, which is centered around giving 14 welterweights a second opportunity to make a career under the UFC banner after their initial “TUF” runs or UFC stints ended in a less than desirable manner. Jesse Taylor (Season 7), who in 2008 became the only fighter in “TUF” history to be pulled from the tournament final due to outside-the-cage conduct , says he’s been pursuing a path back to the UFC ever since his embarrassing removal from the tournament. “Every night I go to sleep, I think about getting back to the UFC,” Taylor says
