Bellator 97 video highlights: Askren beats down Koreshkov, ‘King Mo’ cruises

BAD MMA News — Thu, 01 Aug 2013 15:25:00 +0000

Wednesday’s Bellator 97 event included five main-card bouts and five knockouts, including TKO wins by welterweight champion Ben Askren and notable Muhammed Lawal . Check out the video highlights of each bout. Bellator 97 aired on Spike TV from Santa Ana Star Center in Rio Rancho, N.M. In addition to lightweight champ Michael Chandler (12-0 MMA, 9-0 BMMA) topping David Rickels (14-2 MMA, 8-2 BMMA) in just 44 seconds, fellow champ Askren (12-0 MMA, 9-0 BMMA) posted a hugely lopsided TKO win over fellow welterweight Andrey Koreshkov (13-1 MMA, 5-1 BMMA) in the co-headliner. Two “Summer Series” tournaments also concluded as “King Mo” Lawal (11-2 MMA, 3-1 BMMA) battered and bloodied fellow light heavyweight Jacob Noe (12-3 MMA, 3-2 BMMA), and heavyweight Vitaly Minakov (12-0 MMA, 3-0 BMMA) overcame a baffling point deduction to stop Ryan Martinez (10-2 MMA, 3-2 BMMA) late in their fight. The night kicked off with a vintage “Pitbull” performance as Patricio Freire (18-2 MMA, 6-2 BMMA) continually knocked down and ultimately stopped a resilient Jared Downing (9-3 MMA, 0-1 BMMA). Check out the fight video above. And for the latest on Bellator 97 , including the night’s official results, check out the MMA Events section of the site.

Dana White: Vitor Belfort rematch a hard sell for UFC champ Anderson Silva

BAD MMA News — Fri, 05 Jul 2013 00:15:00 +0000

Since losing to UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva in 2011, Vitor Belfort has won four of five fights and recently scored violent knockouts of contenders Michael Bisping and Luke Rockhold . But a rematch with the champ would be a hard sell, UFC President Dana White said. More specifically, it’d be a hard sell to Silva (33-4 MMA, 16-0 UFC), assuming he gets by top contender Chris Weidman (9-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) on Saturday at UFC 162. Belfort (23-10 MMA, 12-6 UFC), whose only recent loss came to light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones after the Brazilian moved up a weight class for a late-notice booking, has campaigned for a second shot at Silva . But when MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) today asked White about the possibility, he sounded less than optimistic. “He’s looked great, but the hard position that Vitor is in is when you talk about a rematch for him, it’s like, [Silva] kicked him in the face in the first 60 seconds in one of the most devestating knockouts of all-time,” he said.

Featherweight Prospect Doo Ho Choi Returns to the Ring at Deep Cage Impact on Saturday

BAD MMA News — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 21:27:53 +0000

Korean featherweight prodigy Doo Ho Choi returns to the ring on Saturday night to face Japanese journeyman Shoji Maruyama in the main event of Deep – Cage Impact at the Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. Choi (10-1) is known to have caught the eye of UFC talent scouts. The 22-year-old will be a strong favorite against Maruyama (12-8-1), but the Japanese fighter has scored his fair share of knockouts and will have taken note of how Tatsunao Nagakura’s punching power caused the Korean some problems at Deep – 61 Impact earlier this year. Deep featherweight champion Kasunori Yokota was scheduled to face Choi in a title bout in February, but the challenger disappeared days before the show under mysterious circumstances that were never satisfactorily explained and the fight failed to materialize. Both featherweights will be fighting on the same card for the second time since their bout was cancelled, but not against each other. Yokota (17-5-3) will be taking on another Korean opponent, whose record is unknown, but who reportedly come from a grappling background and goes by the name of Eun Kyum Kim. Former Deep lightweight champion Katsunori Kikuno (19-5-2) is on the card, which will be held in a cage, taking on 42-year-old UFC veteran Jutaro Nakao (24-17-4), who made his professional MMA debut way back in 1996. A promising fighter at the opposite end of his career is also on the card as unbeaten lightweight Yuta Kaneko (6-0-1) takes on journeyman Hidehiko Hasegawa (19-18-6).

UFC on FUEL TV 10 a night of records, including eight submissions

BAD MMA News — Sun, 09 Jun 2013 10:00:00 +0000

Leave it to Brazil to set a record for submissions. It’s completely appropriate. Saturday’s UFC on FUEL TV 10 card set a new UFC record with eight submissions in 12 fights – and tied a promotional record with 10 total stoppages. The show took place in, of course, the cradle of Brazilian jiu-jitsu. UFC on FUEL TV 10 took place at Paulo Sarasate Arena in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil. The main card aired on FUEL TV following prelims on Facebook. Apart from the eight submissions, there were a pair of knockouts and just two decisions. But it was the tapouts that everyone was talking about
