BAD MMA News — Fri, 27 Nov 2020 16:28:06 +0000

Muhammad Mokaev is ready to take his career to the next level. Mokaev (4-0) notched four pro wins in the span of four months as a bantamweight, and is now set to drop down to flyweight for his next bout as he sets his sights on his first pro title at 125 pounds. Targeting a return in February, Mokaev told MMA Junkie he hopes to secure a No. 1 contender bout, then a shot at the Brave CF flyweight tournament winner. “I want (an) interim belt. Well, I don’t know if Brave does this and then fight the winner of the tournament,” Mokaev explained

Ex-UFC fighter Dustin Ortiz among participants in BRAVE CF flyweight title tournament

BAD MMA News — Mon, 20 Jul 2020 13:49:19 +0000

BRAVE CF will crown their first ever flyweight champion in a tournament format. The promotion has recently invested in their 125-pound division, adding ex-UFC flyweights Dustin Ortiz , Jose Torres and Zach Makovsky to their ever-growing roster. In November 2018, Russia’s Velimurad Alkhasov defeated Marcel Adur for the vacant flyweight title at BRAVE CF 18 but was not crowned champion due to missing weight. So to crown the promotion’s inaugural 125-pound champion, BRAVE CF officials decided to hold a flyweight tournament, which will include four quarterfinal fights featuring eight of the best 125-pounders across the world. In the first quarter-final fight former Titan FC dual-champ Torres (9-1) will face former CFFC flyweight champ Sean Santella . Torres is coming off a unanimous decision win over current UFC flyweight Amir Albazi in his BRAVE CF debut in April 2019.

Jose Torres set his sights on gold from the start and will get the opportunity to collect another belt. Torres (8-1) will take on Marcel Adur (15-5) for the vacant Brave Combat Federation title at Brave CF 29, which is set to take place Nov. 15 in Bahrain, sources told MMA Junkie on Monday.

Flyweight Jose Torres says Brave CF gives him respect the UFC didn’t

BAD MMA News — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 13:28:03 +0000

COCONUT CREEK, Fla. – Money is important, but flyweight Jose Torres says it wasn’t the main factor that drew him to pick Brave Combat Federation to be his home after a two-fight UFC stint. Rather, Torres told MMA Junkie during a recent chat at American Top Team, it was the respect that Brave CF showed him in their negotiations. And that’s something that the former Titan FC two-division champion believes he didn’t get from the UFC. “I wasn’t respected at all, with two last-minute fights in 45 days,” Torres said. “With 54 pounds to cut, whatever the case may be

UFC scaling back on flyweights; Jose Torres claims division scrapped after release

BAD MMA News — Wed, 07 Nov 2018 23:32:54 +0000

The UFC has no imminent plans to scrap its flyweight division, but a veteran 125-pound fighter claims the weight class is headed for the scrap bin. Jose Torres told MMAjunkie that he was released from the UFC on Wednesday morning and was informed that the promotion plans to shutter the division entirely. Torres initially posted his claim in response to a tweet from FloCombat.com. A person with knowledge of the UFC’s plan said the organization is, indeed, currently looking to trim down the flyweight roster. That person is not publicly authorized to discuss the matter and spoke on the condition of anonymity. The person added there is currently no directive to immediately eliminate the division.

Jose Torres considers future of UFC’s flyweight division: ‘It doesn’t look good for us’

BAD MMA News — Fri, 02 Nov 2018 15:29:55 +0000

UFC flyweight contender Jose Torres (8-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) doesn’t know if the promotion will ultimately do away with his division, but he admits the possibility seems very real. With the UFC allowing the division’s most recognized commodity, former champ Demetrious Johnson, to bolt for ONE Championship, it’s certainly easy to speculate that UFC officials don’t plan on the flyweight class as part of the long-term future. In the latest episode of his web series “Inside Team Shorty,” Torres openly considered the future of the division.
