Joe Silva’s Shoes: What’s next for Stephen Thompson and UFC Fight Night 82′s winners?

BAD MMA News — Sun, 07 Feb 2016 22:12:32 +0000

Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos Stephen Thompson earned his second straight UFC main event victory when he stopped Johny Hendricks by first-round TKO at UFC Fight Night 82 on Saturday. Thompson (12-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) completely overwhelmed Hendricks (17-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC) in the FOX Sports 1-televised headliner at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas before he finished the former UFC welterweight champ with strikes for the biggest victory of his career . The remainder of the main card wasn’t quite so memorable. Mike Pyle (27-11-1 MMA, 10-6 UFC) and Misha Cirkunov (11-2 MMA, 2-0 UFC) kicked things off with wins inside the distance, but then Joseph Benavidez (24-4 MMA, 11-2 UFC), Ovince Saint Preux (19-7 MMA, 7-2 UFC) and Roy Nelson (21-12 MMA, 8-8 UFC) were all forced to go three rounds to achieve victory.

Mic drop: UFC 193′s James Moontasri can knock you out and knows a good sound bite

BAD MMA News — Sun, 15 Nov 2015 14:56:07 +0000

Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos MELBOURNE, Australia – Newly minted UFC welterweight James Moontasri said he had dreams of competing in taekwondo at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. Moontasri (9-3 MMA, 2-2 UFC) competed on the U.S. national team for the striking-based martial art, but he never got to vie for gold, but knocking out Anton Zafir (7-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) with a spinning back kick at Saturday’s UFC 193 is not a bad substitute

UFC 193 results: James Moontasri doubles up on spinning stuff to stop Anton Zafir in first

BAD MMA News — Sun, 15 Nov 2015 00:45:59 +0000

MELBOURNE, Australia – James Moontasri had to survive the kind of grinding pace Anton Zafir wanted to fight in the early stages of their bout at UFC 193. But once he was able to fight at a striker’s distance, Moontasri showed some flash, throwing a pair of spinning strikes to stop Zafir in the opening round. The welterweight bout was part of the preliminary card of today’s UFC 193 event at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne, Australia. It streamed on UFC Fight Pass ahead of additional prelims on FOX Sports 1 and a main card on pay-per-view
