BAD MMA News — Tue, 28 Feb 2017 18:46:27 +0000

Say what you want about Bethe Correia , but you can’t deny her focus. Correia (10-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC), who’s set to meet Marion Reneau (7-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) at March 11’s UFC Fight Night 106 event at Centro de Formacao Olimpica do Nordeste in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil, posted a video in which she hops over a fence to get to the gym. It was closed due to Brazil’s Carnival festivities. Reached by MMAjunkie, Correia confirmed she was able to get the training session done and, with a laugh, said it was worth both “the sacrifice and making a fool out of herself.” “Let’s train during carnaval, jumping over the fence to train,” she wrote in the post (via Instagram ): During the Carnival period, which is set to end this Wednesday in Brazil, a lot of businesses close, schools shut down and street parties that last all day take over numerous cities, most notably Rio de Janeiro and Salvador, while official parades broadcast nightly nationwide

BAD MMA News — Tue, 04 Jun 2013 23:45:00 +0000

With opponent Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (21-5 MMA, 4-2 UFC) injured, and short-notice volunteer Chael Sonnen (27-13-1 MMA, 6-6 UFC) no longer available , Mauricio “Shogun” Rua (21-7 MMA, 5-5 UFC) won’t fight at next week’s UFC 161 event. But the ex-light-heavyweight champ told Brazilian website Tatame that UFC officials have given him another date to fight against a yet-to-be confirmed opponent. “UFC asked me to keep training, that I would fight on August 17 [in] Boston,” Rua said, referring to UFC on FOX Sports 1, which takes place at TD Garden and serves as the UFC’s debut show on the new sports channel. Sonnen appears poised to take the rescheduled bout, though MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) was unable to confirm whether he will stand opposite Rua on the summer card. A rep for the three-time title challenger said an announcement on his future should be made tonight.
