BAD MMA News — Sun, 19 Jun 2016 02:51:40 +0000

OTTAWA, Canada – Jason Saggo didn’t win it by much, but he managed to outpoint Leandro Silva by the slimmest of margins to get the victory in front of his countrymen. After a very close fight that saw both men stuck on their backs at various points, Saggo (12-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) got the nod from two of the three judges, edging out Silva (19-4 MMA, 3-2 UFC) via split-decision. The lightweight bout closed out the preliminary card of today’s UFC Fight Night 89 event at The Arena at TD Place in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It aired on FOX Sports 2 following additional prelims on UFC Fight Pass and ahead of a main card on FOX Sports 1. Saggo got off to a good start in the first round, using an early takedown to get Silva to the mat and then keeping him there for almost the entire round as he worked sparingly, but consistently from half-guard.

UFC Fight Night 89′s Leandro Silva expected bigger name, but ready for callouts after Jason Saggo

BAD MMA News — Sat, 18 Jun 2016 18:38:22 +0000

UFC lightweight Leandro Silva hasn’t been beaten since 2014 but still seems to be mostly remembered by a blatant refereeing error that was ultimately not his fault. At UFC Fight Night 62, his fight against Drew Dober was called to a stop after the referee in charge saw a tap that never happened on his opponent’s end. The mistake was so flagrant that the Comissao Atletica Brasileira de MMA (CABMMA) – the Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission – decided to overturn the result . Now, heading into his UFC Fight Night 89 scrap against Jason Saggo (11-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC), Silva (19-3 MMA, 3-1 UFC) looks back on the incident with a mix of dissatisfaction and hopes of moving on. “I certainly didn’t agree with changing my victory to a no contest, but I didn’t speak up because I’m not one to make waves,” Silva told MMAjunkie
