UFC on Fox 8 Results: Demetrious Johnson Dominates John Moraga, Secures Armbar Finish

BAD MMA News — Sun, 28 Jul 2013 07:06:06 +0000

Heading into his flyweight title fight against champion Demetrious Johnson , relatively unknown John Moraga had repeatedly said that he was going to be the “bully,” when he and “Mighty Mouse” met in the cage. In front of a packed house at the KeyArena in Seattle at UFC on Fox 8 , Moraga never stopped trying, he never stopped moving, but a bully he was not. Earning 11 of 11 takedowns and using an all-world technical ground game, UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson dominated the West Phoenix native for the majority of the 25 minutes, earning his second consecutive title defense. Moraga opened round one looking to establish himself in the cage. Prior to his scrap with Mighty Mouse, Moraga had been regulated to the preliminary card in his previous UFC outings.

UFC 161′s Roland Delorme on Figueroa: ‘What he’s really bad at, I’m good at’

After nearly a year on the bench due to surgery on his arm, Roland Delorme returns to the cage to meet Edwin Figueroa at UFC 161. He already believes it’s a matchup that’s tailor-made. “I’ve seen all his fights in the UFC,” Delorme (8-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “There’s no secret that his ground game is not that good. He doesn’t defend the takedown very well. And that’s what I’m good at. What he’s really bad at, I’m good at.” It’s not that Delorme thinks Figueroa (9-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC) has no skills on the ground, but rather bad habits that could make his job easier when they meet on the FX-televised prelims of the pay-per-view event, which takes place Saturday at MTS Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. “He gives his back a lot,” Delorme said of Figueroa.
