“The Colombian Queen” failed to deliver another head-kick KO, but Sabina Mazo did comfortably cruise to a decision win over an outgunned Carol Yariwaki (7-3), defending the LFA women’s flyweight title in the process. The bout served as the main event of tonight’s LFA 54, which aired on AXS TV from OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa, Calif.

RFA 27′s Joe Murphy wants to tap more people than UFC’s Tony Ferguson

BAD MMA News — Fri, 03 Jul 2015 19:50:30 +0000

Joe Murphy You may have noticed this already, but UFC lightweight Tony Ferguson is an exceptional submission artist. RFA bantamweight Joe Murphy certainly has. Murphy (8-2), who tonight faces Jesse Brock (20-8) in the headliner of RFA 27, is gunning for a trip to the UFC so he can show he’s a better submission artist than Ferguson. “There’s a D’Arce record out there in the UFC,” he told MMAjunkie Radio. “Tony Ferguson has it right now. As soon as I get there, I’m going to beat that.” RFA 27 takes place at CenturyLink Arena in Boise, Idaho.

RFA 23 results: Terrion Ware downs Joe Murphy in thriller

BAD MMA News — Sat, 07 Feb 2015 06:25:12 +0000

Terrion Ware Terrion Ware (13-3) will soon fight for RFA’s bantamweight title after earning a hard-fought victory over Joe Murphy (8-2) in a thrilling contender’s matchup. The bout served as the headlining bout of Friday’s RFA 23 event, which took place at The Hangar at OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa, Calif., and aired on AXS TV. The two traded in the pocket in the opening round, and while Murphy seemed to be the attacking fighter, it was Ware’s counter strikes that were the most effective blows, and he drew blood from his opponent’s left eye. The pattern continued in the second, though a gritty Murphy refused to quit. A brief takedown threatened to change the flow, thought Ware got immediately back to his feet. Forced to stand and trade, Murphy obliged, though Ware’s counters remained sharp in the exchanges.
