BAD MMA News — Sun, 06 May 2018 13:48:11 +0000

If Ian McCall didn’t have bad luck in MMA, he seemingly wouldn’t have any luck at all. But he might put an end to the heartaches. McCall (13-7-1), who hasn’t won since 2014 after a few ill-timed losses and a never-ending string of fight cancellations, finally got back to action in today’s Rizin FF 10 bantamweight headliner, but fellow UFC vet Kyoji Horiguchi (24-2) scored a knockout win in just nine seconds . The fight, which streamed on FITE TV from Marine Messe Fukuoka in Fukuoka, Japan, brought about a quick stoppage from the referee (via Twitter ): 堀口恭司×イアン・マッコール② RT @Bestrafer7 Kyoji Horiguchi knocks out Ian McCall in 9 seconds #Rizin10 @FiteTV @rizin_PR pic.twitter.com/ayPGpSqIdr — MMA.vaobhr (@vaobhr) May 6, 2018 WOW #RIZIN10 pic.twitter.com/Q5StvGr3O9 — FITE (@FiteTV) May 6, 2018 “Well, I got punched real hard, and I got hit,” McCall said. “Big deal.

Rizin FF 8 results: Kyoji Horiguchi advances to grand prix semifinals with blistering TKO

Kyoji Horiguchi showed why he’s the frontrunner to win the Rizin FF bantamweight grand prix tournament when he (literally) punched his ticket to the semifinal round with a first-round TKO of Gabriel Oliveira at Rizin FF 8. Despite the former UFC flyweight title challenger being at a noticeable size disadvantage, Horiguchi’s (21-2) slick striking more than made up for it. He dropped Oliveira (10-1) three times in the fight before the referee stepped in to halt the online-streamed pay-per-view headliner at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan. Horiguchi was by far the biggest star of the night at Rizin FF 8, which featured an announced attendance of 15,539. He walked to the ring to a significant applause from the audience, and his performance lived up to the excitement. Horiguchi found his range early in the bout, and from there, Oliveira had no chance

Ian McCall ’s unprecedented bad luck continued on Friday when he suffered one of the more bizarre stoppage losses in recent memory at Rizin FF 8. McCall (13-6-1), who was making his promotional debut at the event at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan, lost his bantamweight grand prix bantamweight quarterfinal matchup to Manel Kape (9-1) by doctor’s stoppage in the opening round after the ring ropes appeared to have opened a deep cut on his forehead .
