RIP, Bellator: The final all-time record holders of now-defunct promotion

BAD MMA News — Sat, 25 Jan 2025 00:43:50 +0000

With PFL officially shutting down the Bellator brand in 2025 after acquiring the company in late 2024, it’s time to honor the now-defunct organization and the fighters who helped craft the brand over its nearly 15-year existence. Now that Bellator is just a memory, these are the final all-time promotional leaders in several marquee categories.

Every finish from Stipe Miocic’s illustrious UFC career, ranked

BAD MMA News — Wed, 25 Dec 2024 20:43:39 +0000

With the lion’s share of the pre and post-UFC 309 coverage focused on the status of Jon Jones, very little fanfare was afforded to former heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic . To the credit of the often underappreciated UFC production team, a farewell package was in place to roll after Miocic’s final fight – but the former champ understandably declined his time in the spotlight after falling to Jones at Madison Square Garden. For those who’ve been following Miocic’s career, this should’ve come as little surprise given the Ohio native’s shortness with words and general attitude toward the limelight. However, despite that fact, I thought it would be fitting to celebrate Miocic and his memorable accomplishments inside the UFC octagon. Not only does Miocic hold the record for most title defenses in UFC history (both consecutive and overall), but the man is also the record holder for the most knockouts in UFC heavyweight title fights

The best (and worst!) MMA movies (and TV series) of all time

BAD MMA News — Fri, 20 Dec 2024 19:21:49 +0000

(This story was updated to add new information.) The holiday season is here, and that means a little more down time for most people. With major MMA largely on hiatus for a few weeks, how will you fill in the blanks? Here’s a list of MMA movies and TV series you might want to spend some time with – including a new series from France that has some high-profile cameos. (And if we left some off the list, don’t be offended. For the record, if a movie was purely karate or kickboxing or boxing, etc., we left it off – we’re looking for reasonably modern-era mixed martial arts/cagefighting kind of stuff to make the cut for this list

Conor McGregor, fallen idol: From UFC champ-champ to losing sexual assault case

BAD MMA News — Wed, 04 Dec 2024 15:43:43 +0000

(This story was updated because an earlier version included an inaccurate headline.) Conor McGregor ’s time in the UFC has been the best of times and the worst of times, although the glory days feel like a distant memory. McGregor went from being on welfare to joining the UFC in April 2013, and he talked a big game from the moment he stepped foot in the octagon.
