BAD MMA News — Sun, 17 Sep 2017 01:27:10 +0000

Gilbert Burns had a big moment thanks to his thunderous second-round knockout of Jason Saggo at UFC Fight Night 116, and apparently he wanted to make very sure he captured it on video. As Bruce Buffer announced the details of Burns’ win, the Brazilian fighter celebrated by shooting what looked to be a selfie video on his cell phone. Man, the fight is televised. You don't need to do this. The moment done been captured by a real camera already. pic.twitter.com/fnvUBtUgEZ — Ben Fowlkes (@benfowlkesMMA) September 17, 2017 First of all, that’s kind of weird, since the fight was already televised on FS1, so there really wasn’t much danger that images of the post-fight scene would be lost forever

BAD MMA News — Sun, 11 Dec 2016 00:55:35 +0000

TORONTO – You could almost set your clock to Rustam Khabilov ’s takedown attempts, which kept Jason Saggo from building any momentum with his kick-heavy approach. Saggo (12-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) was forced to hold on and minimize the damage on his back as Khabilov (21-3 MMA, 7-2 UFC) landed takedown after takedown en route to a unanimous decision. The catchweight bout (Khabilov missed the lightweight limit) was part of the preliminary card of today’s UFC 206 event at Air Canada Centre in Toronto. It streamed on UFC Fight Pass ahead of additional prelims on FS1 and a main card on pay-per-view.

10 reasons to watch UFC 206, including a questionable title – but a meaningful fight

BAD MMA News — Fri, 09 Dec 2016 18:28:16 +0000

Filed under: Featured , News , UFC When UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier dropped out of his title fight against Anthony Johnson due to an injury , UFC 206 lost its main event. So, what did the UFC do? Well, through dumb luck, it was about that time that two-division champion Conor McGregor decided to “relinquish” his featherweight strap and focus on his lightweight title. At least that was the UFC’s take; McGregor seemed to dispute that whole relinquishing thing. With McGregor no longer the featherweight titleholder, interim champ Jose Aldo was elevated to “undisputed” champion status, and a fight between Max Holloway and Anthony Pettis was booked for an interim belt at Saturday’s UFC 206 event
