Jeff Hughes denies eye-poke in Todd Duffee clash, says he’s ready to fight next week

BAD MMA News — Sun, 15 Sep 2019 15:51:11 +0000

Jeff Hughes was planning on delivering a headline-making performance at UFC on ESPN+ 16 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, but his heavyweight bout against the returning Todd Duffee drew headlines for less-than-satisfactory reasons. Hughes (10-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) and Duffee (9-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) went toe to toe from the very start of their main card clash at Rogers Arena, and a thrilling heavyweight slugfest appeared to be on the cards. But an innocuous incident late in the round saw Duffee call on the referee to halt proceedings after a perceived eye-poke. Replays of the incident were inconclusive, but following Duffee’s claim that he was seeing double in his left eye, a doctor was summoned, and the fight was waved off and declared a no contest . It was a frustrating way to end what looked set to be an entertaining fight, and nobody was more upset than Hughes, who felt that the bout was beginning to go his way after being briefly dropped early in the contest

5 burning questions heading into UFC on ESPN+ 16

BAD MMA News — Fri, 13 Sep 2019 18:14:09 +0000

If you match just about anyone up with Donald Cerrone , you’re likely to have an exciting fight. Same goes with Justin Gaethje . So if you match Cerrone (38-12 MMA, 23-9 UFC) and Gaethje (20-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) against one another, well, you just might have your most natural mix since someone over at Reese’s first put peanut butter and chocolate together. Some weeks, the UFC puts on shows simply to fill out the contractual obligations that come with its mammoth ESPN deal, which turns the proceedings into a slog for even the most hardcore of fans. Then there are events like UFC on ESPN+ 16 on Saturday which stand out from the pack. The lightweight showdown between Gaethje and Cerrone is a must-watch, and there are other interesting competitors sprinkled in for good measure.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Jeff Hughes isn’t necessarily an underdog heading into Saturday’s UFC on ESPN+ 16 event, but he knows his opponent is the one who owns the edge in starpower. Oddsmakers actually have the fight with Hughes (10-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) and Todd Duffee (9-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) as more or less dead even, but the pre-fight attention is very much in Duffee’s favor, with fans curious to see what the mercurial heavyweight will bring to the cage after four years on the sidelines. “I feel like people are counting me out,” Hughes told reporters, including MMA Junkie, at a media day in support of Saturday’s event. “Things didn’t go my way the first fight in the UFC, but that happens
