UFC Fight Night 103′s 10 memorable moments: Rodriguez’s arrival, classy ‘J-Lau,’ remembering ‘Snacks’

BAD MMA News — Tue, 17 Jan 2017 19:11:43 +0000

Filed under: News , UFC In the lead-up to Sunday’s UFC Fight Night 103 main event, there was some talk that UFC Hall of Famer B.J. Penn was being disrespected by those who seemed to overlook the ex-champ’s pre-2009 accomplishments and instead focused on his post-2010 record of 1-5-1. These exchanges were a reminder that fans are sometimes blinded by allegiance. They recall the monumental success of their idols but ignore the heartbreaking decline. That’s understandable.

Jocelyn Jones-Lybarger hoping for ‘freakin’ good fight’ with fellow stand-and-bang artist Nina Ansaroff

Filed under: News , UFC , Videos PHOENIX – Everywhere Jocelyn Jones-Lybarger went, she found success. Then she got to the UFC and it was a whole different ballgame. The strawweight was a Tuff-N-Uff amateur champ before she turned pro. Then she won fights for Invicta, King of the Cage and RFA, where she won that promotion’s 115-pound title

BAD MMA News — Sun, 19 Jun 2016 00:26:04 +0000

OTTAWA, Canada – Randa Markos marched forward on Jocelyn Jones-Lybarger with every intention of making up for the 20 percent fine she incurred for missing weight. Markos (6-3 MMA, 2-2 UFC) bullied Jones-Lybarger (6-3 MMA, 0-2 UFC) on the mat early and slugged it out when takedowns were stuffed, earning a unanimous decision on home turf. The women’s strawweight bout was part of the preliminary card of today’s UFC Fight Night 89 event at The Arena at TD Place in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It streamed on UFC Fight Pass ahead of additional prelims on FOX Sports 2 and a main card on FOX Sports 1.

Video: UFC Fight Night 89 fighters discuss new early weigh-ins – with unanimous approval

BAD MMA News — Fri, 17 Jun 2016 21:03:00 +0000

Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos OTTAWA, Canada – For the second straight event, fighters on a UFC card had the opportunity to have three meals on the day of a weigh-in. At UFC 199 two weeks ago, the California State Athletic Commission instituted a new policy that allowed fighters to weigh in starting at 9 a.m. on Friday, the day before the event, rather than the normal time of 4 p.m. That became their official weight, which meant a fighter could have as much as seven hours of additional time to rehydrate and re-energize. That was the case again today at the weigh-ins for UFC Fight Night 89, which takes place Saturday at The Arena at TD Place in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The main card airs on FOX Sports 1 following prelims on FOX Sports 2 and UFC Fight Pass.
