BAD MMA News — Tue, 06 Apr 2021 19:44:51 +0000

The PFL has removed Johnny Case from its 2021 season in the wake of recent reports that the lightweight fighter was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of domestic battery. The promotion announced the move Tuesday, along with Case’s replacement, Alex Martinez. It’s unclear if Case has been released from his contract or only removed from this season. A request for comment from the PFL was not immediately returned. According to an initial report from TMZ , Case (27-7-1) was arrested last Thursday in Las Vegas and was held in jail in Clark County (Nev.). The report stated that the alleged victim is a female MMA fighter.

Johnny Case’s ideal 2021: Fight Anthony Pettis for PFL title on New Year’s Eve

While the pandemic has been difficult on everyone in the fight game, it hit fighters on the PFL roster in a certain way. Other promotions were free to make up for lost time once they got back up and running. But the PFL’s format of regular-season fights followed by playoffs can’t be replicated in a truncated form. That meant a year on the sidelines for most of the roster

Rizin Shine: Kai Asakura gets his shot at superstardom in Saitama at Rizin FF 20

Things didn’t work out as originally planned for Rizin FF, but the Japanese promotion’s New Year’s Eve spectacular at the Saitama Super Arena will still finish with a wild scrap for their bantamweight title. Rizin FF 20 was all set to feature the hotly-anticipated rematch between Kyoji Horiguchi and the man who shocked the MMA world when he finished the two-promotion bantamweight champion in their non-title meeting at Rizin FF 18 in October, Kai Asakura . Asakura’s 68-second demolition of Horiguchi in Nagoya stunned the Japanese MMA community, and when Asakura (14-1, 6-0 Rizin FF) repeated the trick with a 54-second knockout of Ulka Sasaki at Rizin 19 that left the former UFC fighter with a broken jaw, it was clear that the 26-year-old was the undeniable number-one contender for Horiguchi’s title. Everything seemed set for an end-of-year showdown in Saitama, but disaster struck in November when news emerged that Horiguchi had sustained a knee injury that would require surgery and an estimated layoff of around 10 months. But, in an honorable move from the American Top Team man, Horiguchi decided to relinquish his Rizin and Bellator bantamweight titles to free up the belts and allow Rizin to book an alternative title fight for New Year’s Eve
