After cutting 20 pounds to make her debut, UFC’s Ericka Almeida alters approach

BAD MMA News — Sat, 24 Oct 2015 01:44:43 +0000

Ericka Almeida Five months ago, UFC women’s strawweight Ericka Almeida was faced with a stark choice: wait her turn for a shot in the big leagues or get one immediately by gambling with her health. Almeida (7-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC), who faces Aisling Daly (15-6 MMA, 1-1 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 76, was called on 20 days’ notice to fight Julianna Lima at UFC Fight Night 67 in Goiania, Goias, Brazil. Only one month earlier, she had defended her title in the Jungle Fight promotion after submitting her opponent in the first round. In the weeks after her win, she resumed a normal life, and she was not fight ready. She had 36 pounds to cut to make the 116-pound limit required for the May bout. “I had to diet, cut weight, fight, and repeat – twice in a row,” she told MMAjunkie.

Women’s MMA Report: McMann faces Nunes in Nashville, Yamaguchi wins Deep Jewels title

BAD MMA News — Thu, 11 Jun 2015 22:12:00 +0000

Sara McMann Former UFC women’s bantamweight title challenger Sara McMann looks to get back into championship contention when she returns to the cage on Aug. 8 at UFC Fight Night 73 in Nashville. The Olympic silver medalist is set to battle hard-hitting Brazilian standout Amanda Nunes in a featured matchup on the card. McMann (8-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC) was seen by many as one of the toughest tests for reigning UFC women’s bantamweight champion – and fellow Olympic medalist – Ronda Rousey, but McMann’s bid for UFC title gold ended in quick and disappointing fashion when she was stopped by Rousey in just 66 seconds at UFC 170. McMann bounced back with a contentious split decision win over former Invicta FC champ Lauren Murphy in August, and she got off to an excellent start in her UFC 183 bout with top contender Miesha Tate in January. However, Tate rallied back after a shaky first round and handed McMann a majority-decision defeat.
