BAD MMA News — Sat, 15 Oct 2022 01:26:58 +0000

UFC veteran Henrique da Silva did not let the accolades of Tomasz Narkun get to him at KSW 75. After a tough first round in which former KSW titleholder Narkun (19-8) took him to the ground and controlled the action, da Silva (19-8) pulled out a shocker in the second frame of the light heavyweight bout when he uncorked a nasty front kick to the jaw of Narkun that instantly dropped him. Da Silva landed an additional brutal hammerfist to put Narkun on ice, giving him a third consecutive victory and putting Narkun on a three-fight losing skid.

‘Turkish Mike Tyson’? Gokhan Saki sounds more like Turkish Conor McGregor after UFC debut

BAD MMA News — Sat, 23 Sep 2017 23:20:24 +0000

Filed under: Featured , News , UFC , Videos SAITAMA, Japan – Some fight fans call Gokhan Saki the “Turkish Mike Tyson,” but the newly minted UFC light heavyweight spoke a lot more like Conor McGregor after a successful octagon debut at UFC Fight Night 117. “I stopped for two-and-a-half years, and I’m not back just to take part in the UFC and tell people I’m a UFC fighter,” Saki told reporters after his thrilling first-round knockout of Henrique da Silva . “I’m here to take over.” The UFC lightweight champ – owner of that famous slogan – would be proud. But really, what more can you say if you’re Saki (1-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC), who chose to come out of retirement to fight in a mostly unfamiliar sport? Why would you want to do anything less than see how far you could go? “I’m here to knock people out,” Saki continued at at Saitama Super Arena, which hosted the FXX-televised event.

Filed under: Featured , News , UFC , Videos Gokhan Saki ’s UFC debut largely lived up to the hype. Some folks complained his first-round knockout of Henrique da Silva was stopped early, but UFC President Dana White is not among them. After a wild few minutes of action in the light heavyweight division at UFC Fight Night 117 on Friday, Saki (1-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) dropped da Silva (12-4 MMA, 2-4 UFC) with a massive left hand in his first MMA fight since 2004. Before Saki could step in for any follow-up shots, the referee jumped between the fighters and waved off the contest, giving Saki the first-round knockout in the FXX-televised bout at Saitama Super Arena in Japan. Da Silva momentarily protested the stoppage, and a number of fellow fighters voiced on Twitter they also thought it should have gone longer. White saw no controversy, though, and said anyone who did should avoid a career as a referee (via Instagram ): Anyone who thinks that’s a bad stoppage PLEASE don’t ever apply to be refs!!!!!! On top of White’s opinion, Saki said at UFC Fight Night 117’s post-fight news conference that he thought the referee did his job effectively
