Joe Silva’s Shoes: What’s next for the UFC 163 winners?

BAD MMA News — Mon, 05 Aug 2013 20:05:00 +0000

“UFC 163: Aldo vs. Korean Zombie” is in the books and in one of the most highly criticized pay-per-view fight cards of 2013, the UFC produced a mixed bag of knockouts, submissions, controversial judging and disfigured limbs. A Brazilian fighter had his hand raised in four of the five main card bouts as John Lineker , Thales Leites , Cezar Ferreira and, of course, Jose Aldo , defeated their respective opponents in impressive fashion. The lone non-Brazilian to score a victory on the pay-per-view was Phil Davis , who upset former UFC light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida in a decision that had many, including UFC President Dana White , up in arms. No matter the nature of each man’s victory, they all accomplished the ultimate goal of the sport, and that’s being declared the winner at the conclusion of the fight.

An injury has forced former Strikeforce welterweight champion Tarec Saffiedine out of his scheduled UFC on Fox 8 bout with Robbie Lawler . Siyar Bahadurzada has stepped up on short notice to replace Saffiedine against Lawler. UFC officials made the announcement on Tuesday. Bahadurzada (21-5-1) is a former Shooto middleweight champion. He was riding a six-fight winning streak when he made his UFC debut on April 14, 2012, against Paulo Thiago . The heavy-handed puncher knocked Thiago out in 42 seconds. His seven-fight winning streak came to an end when he met Dong Hyun Kim in his next outing on March 3. Kim utilized his superior wrestling to take Bahadurzada down and keep him there throughout the course of their three-round fight. Lawler (21-9-1) returned to the UFC and the welterweight division at UFC 157 in impressive fashion, knocking out Josh Koscheck in the first round. UFC on Fox 8 takes place on June 27 at the Key Arena in Seattle. The event is headlined by a flyweight title fight between champion Demetrious Johnson and challenger John Moraga .
