BAD MMA News — Mon, 30 Mar 2020 00:18:25 +0000

Grappling superstar Craig Jones kept his perfect promotional record in place with a submission win over Kevin Casey in the main event of Submission Underground 12. Sunday’s UFC Fight Pass-streamed event took place in a converted grain silo in Oregon without fans present as a safety precaution due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Additional precautions included the elimination of all but one camera operator in the venue, lone commentator Chael Sonnen being positioned outside the venue, and cornermen also prevented from attending – making for an eerily quiet setting

A few notable names on the UFC roster are set to put their grappling skills to the test later this month. Former UFC interim welterweight champion Carlos Condit will face UFC veteran and recently retired Jake Ellenberger on March 29 at Submission Underground 12 , which is set to take place in at Roseland Theater in Portland, Ore. Condit, who hasn’t competed since December 2018, has been on a rough patch lately, losing his last five MMA fights in a row. He was scheduled to face Mickey Gall at UFC on ESPN 7 last December but was forced to withdraw because of a detached retina.

LAS VEGAS – It’s been more than a year since Jake Ellenberger retired from MMA, and he has no regrets. Ellenberger (31-15 MMA, 10-11 UFC), who recently relocated to Las Vegas, said while he admits he misses the competition aspect of MMA, he has no real desire to come back to fighting. “As of right now, no, but yeah, I miss the workouts, the training, the camaraderie,” Ellenberger told MMA Junkie. “Right now is no.” Since retiring, Ellenberger competed in a grappling match against familiar foe Diego Sanchez, edging him out at Submission Underground 8 in May. Grappling is certainly something Ellenberger would like to continue competing in moving forward.

Jake Ellenberger still sifting through retirement options, but wants to stay in fight game

BAD MMA News — Thu, 20 Dec 2018 01:51:10 +0000

A little less than four months into his retirement, Jake Ellenberger still is trying to figure things out. It’s hard to hold that too much against him.
