The Sunday Junkie: Aug. 4 edition

BAD MMA News — Sun, 04 Aug 2013 23:00:00 +0000

Saturday’s UFC 163 card in Rio de Janeiro saw Jose Aldo defend his featherweight title against Chan Sung Jung with relative ease – though “The Korean Zombie” certainly was a game opponent until separating his shoulder in the fourth round. The Sunday Junkie, MMAjunkie.com’s weekly reader-feedback feature, got a lot of submissions about Aldo, as well as the co-main event upset of Lyoto Machida by Phil Davis . And there was plenty of reaction to Bellator’s first pay-per-view, featuring former UFC champs Quinton Jackson and Tito Ortiz . But this week’s winner, Oskar Arnason, of Seltjarnarnes, Iceland, got a little creative and piled us into a time machine heading toward the future of MMA – or his vision of it, anyway. For his winning entry, Arnason wins a free one-year subscription to ” Fighters Only ” magazine, the world’s leading MMA and lifestyle magazine.

The mightiest of mice made a mighty impact on Saturday in the octagon, and again today with The Sunday Junkie. The Sunday Junkie, MMAjunkie.com’s weekly reader-feedback feature, was dominated this week by submissions about Saturday’s UFC on FOX 8 card – in particular UFC flyweight champ “Mighty Mouse” Demetrious Johnson , who defended his title in dominant fashion against John Moraga , eventually forcing a fifth-round submission. But this week’s winner, Freddy Chavez, of Devonshire, England, wanted to talk about another big winner on Saturday’s card, Melvin Guillard . For his winning entry, Chavez wins a free one-year subscription to ” Fighters Only ” magazine, the world’s leading MMA and lifestyle magazine.

Without a major event on the schedule this week, fans took a moment to reflect on several issues in the world of mixed martial arts, including fighter pay, fight-fixing allegations and MMA’s health vs. that of boxing. But in this week’s edition of The Sunday Junkie, our weekly reader-feedback feature, the winning entry focused on things that happen inside of the cage. Joshua “Massacre” Morales believe Anderson Silva ‘s recent loss leaves a huge opportunity for Georges St-Pierre . For his winning entry, Joshua wins a free one-year subscription to ” Fighters Only ” magazine, the world’s leading MMA and lifestyle magazine.

A full week later, Anderson Silva and Chris Weidman are still the talk of the MMA town. But for one night, many fans turned their attention to Invicta FC, which hosted its sixth event on Saturday night. In this week’s edition of The Sunday Junkie, our weekly reader-feedback feature, the action-packed evening prompted Canadian reader “Armbar” to look at Invicta the same way so many of us used to look at the WEC. For his winning entry, “Armbar” wins a free one-year subscription to ” Fighters Only ” magazine, the world’s leading MMA and lifestyle magazine.

Contributors to The Sunday Junkie didn’t really have much to talk about this week. OK. That, of course, is an outright lie. The Sunday Junkie, MMAjunkie.com’s weekly reader-feedback feature, got dozens of submissions on Chris Weidman ‘s upset of longstanding middleweight champion Anderson Silva – and a few that had nothing to do with that fight. This week’s winner, Ohio’s Vance Weeks, would love to see credit given where it’s due: to new champ Weidman, rather than everyone talking about Silva’s antics during the fight, even if they may have led directly to his loss. For his winning entry, Weeks wins a free one-year subscription to ” Fighters Only ” magazine, the world’s leading MMA and lifestyle magazine.

In a week that started with headlines involving former UFC standouts like Quinton Jackson , Jon Fitch and Jacob Volkmann taking their former employer to task, it ended with a whole bunch of people tapping. The Sunday Junkie, MMAjunkie.com’s weekly reader-feedback feature, got lots of entries about the aforementioned fighters, as well as the glut of submissions on Saturday’s UFC on FUEL TV 10 card. But this week’s winner, “SheepOverflow,” of Santa Ana, Calif., wants to see MMA announcers step up their game when it comes to accuracy in fighter name pronunciation. Offering up more than 25 different ways to pronounce “Magalhaes” is effort worth the read. For the winning entry, “SheepOverflow” wins a free one-year subscription to ” Fighters Only ” magazine, the world’s leading MMA and lifestyle magazine.
