BAD MMA News — Fri, 23 Oct 2020 20:07:49 +0000

Mike Dolce isn’t so sure about lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov really making weight for his UFC 254 title fight against Justin Gaethje. Dolce, a long-time nutritionist who’s helped countless high-profile fighters with weight cuts, claims there was an error in the weigh-in process when Nurmagomedov (28-0 MMA, 12-0 UFC) stepped on the scale Friday to make the 155-pound limit. “Something very disturbing happened at the weigh-ins for UFC 254, Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Justin Gaethje,” Dolce said in a video on his YouTube page . “What happened? When Khabib stepped on the scale, the inspector – either through sheer incompetence or (intentionally) – made a massive mistake that’s maybe worth tens of millions of dollars

Filed under: Featured , News , UFC (UPDATED on 10/13/16 at 2:15 p.m. ET. Following the publishing of this story, Mike Dolce clarified that Ronda Rousey’s walking-around weight is 148 to 152 pounds.) As a self-described “department head” for Ronda Rousey ’s team, Mike Dolce said the former women’s bantamweight champ started getting serious about a comeback in late summer. “She could have fought on the New York card most likely, but that would have been pushing the timeline just a little too much,” Dolce told MMAjunkie shortly after news of Rousey’s comeback at UFC 207 opposite Amanda Nunes (13-4 MMA, 6-1 UFC) was confirmed by UFC President Dana White. “She decided to give her body a little more time so she can perform at her best.” After Rousey’s knockout loss to Holly Holm this past November at UFC 193, Dolce said “Rowdy” needed time to heal and focus on her health before thinking about stepping in the octagon. “She’s been fighting with nagging injuries for years,” he said

Cristiane Justino Nutritional consultant Mike Dolce thinks Cristiane Justino isn’t really telling the truth when it comes to her desire to fight Ronda Rousey . “I see what’s going on the media, and it’s all B.S.,” Dolce recently told MMAjunkie Radio. Dolce cited a recent tweet from the Invicta FC featherweight champ , which featured a photo of her torso alongside the UFC women’s bantamweight champ. In the caption, Justino wrote, “4 percent bodyfat!” In a later tweet, she again posted the picture of her torso with the caption, “175 with a six pack” and the hashtag, “thestruggleisreal.” The posts made quite an impression on Dolce, and not one that was positive

Phil Baroni on Mike Dolce: ‘Nutritionist guru from where? From my toilet bowl’

Phil Baroni said he somehow got in the middle of a still-simmering feud between future UFC Hall of Famer B.J. Penn and nutrition guru Mike Dolce , and he’s siding with Penn. “I’m more friends with B.J.,” Baroni told MMAjunkie Radio. “That cat left me hanging a couple of times, Dolce did.” Asked for his opinion on the feud, which kicked off when Penn vented about Dolce’s role in his camp for a third fight with Frankie Edgar which ended in a third-round TKO loss, Dolce responded to Penn. The two have since gone several rounds online with Penn recently promising to punch Dolce on sight

Filed under: Featured Videos , News , Only on Junkie , UFC , Videos Tagged: Anderson Silva , Matt Hughes , Mike Dolce , Tyron Woodley More than three months after it happened, most fight fans can still see Anderson Silva ‘s leg break in their heads. Silva’s broken leg against Chris Weidman at UFC 168 in December is likely to go down as one of the most famous injuries in MMA history, and definitely one of the most gruesome. It begged the question of whether or not Silva will be the same when he returns to the cage. Believe it or not, some think the all-time pound-for-pound great might be even better if he comes back. Hear what MMA nutritionist Mike Dolce , UFC welterweight contender Tyron Woodley and UFC Hall of Famer Matt Hughes think about Silva’s potential comeback in the video above.

Dana White says Georges St-Pierre is coming back, but should he?

BAD MMA News — Fri, 14 Mar 2014 00:15:32 +0000

DALLAS – When UFC President Dana White reflected on Georges St-Pierre ‘s potential return to the promotion, he made sure to use the word “when” and not “if.” But even if White is certain St-Pierre will return, should the future UFC Hall of Famer even bother? There’s no question part of the excitement surrounding this weekend’s UFC 171 event in Dallas centers squarely on the fact that St-Pierre’s dominant reign is over and a new champion will reside over the promotion’s welterweight division for the first time since 2008. So with the UFC’s 170-pound division as exciting as ever – and with St-Pierre’s financial future seemingly sound – is there any reason for the French-Canadian superstar to target a return to fighting? A host of MMA notables, including Carlos Condit , Myles Jury , Mike Dolce , Jake Shields and Matt Hughes , offer their opinion in the video above. “UFC 171: Hendricks vs
