BAD MMA News — Tue, 05 Aug 2025 09:51:19 +0000

Despite losing to bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili twice, former titleholder Sean O’Malley is still one of the most recognizable stars on the UFC roster. He’s the top contender in the 135-pound division but doesn’t have a realistic path to a title shot as long as the belt’s around Dvalishvili’s waist. “I feel like I’ve always looked at this fight game pretty logical

Daniel Cormier plays matchmaker for UFC bantamweight division

BAD MMA News — Wed, 27 Nov 2024 01:13:30 +0000

Daniel Cormier has an idea of how the UFC’s bantamweight division should pan out. Merab Dvalishvili sits atop of the bantamweight ladder after dethroning Sean O’Malley this past September at UFC 306. Petr Yan is fresh off a five-round main event win over Deiveison Figueiredo in Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 248 headliner in Macau, and Umar Nurmagomedov awaits his title shot after defeating Cory Sandhagen in the UFC on ABC 7 headliner this past August. But with Dvalishvili refusing to acknowledge Nurmagomedov as the rightful No. 1 contender and turning his attention to Yan , how will the division unfold? Scroll below to see Cormier’s fights to make in the stacked 135-pound division after breaking down the matchups in a recent episode of “Good Guy/Bad Guy” with Chael Sonnen

Marlon Vera clarifies controversial post after Merab Dvalishvili’s UFC 306 win, congratulates new champ

BAD MMA News — Wed, 18 Sep 2024 18:50:36 +0000

Marlon Vera definitely had one of the most bizarre and controversial social media posts over the weekend. Vera, a former UFC bantamweight title challenger, had a unique take on Saturday’s UFC 306 main event in which Merab Dvalishvili took the 135-pound title in dominant fashion from Sean O’Malley . Vera wrote on X, ‘I call it the other way, but congrats Merab well fought,’ which triggered many responses given the nature of the fight. Vera said his comments were misinterpreted, as he meant something completely different. “I tweeted after the fight, ‘I call it the other way, but congrats Merab,’ and when I said ‘call it the other way,’ I didn’t refer to the decision,” Vera said on his YouTube channel .
