BAD MMA News — Wed, 30 Oct 2019 15:48:08 +0000

LAS VEGAS – If UFC veteran Mike Pyle has one piece of advice for young fighters out there, it’s to go make that paper. The money fight era is not for everyone, but Pyle believes that in a sport in which it’s hard to have longevity and success, fighters need to go out and make as much money as they can. That’s why contrary to most, he actually likes the idea of a potential fight between UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and newly crowned middleweight champ Israel Adesanya in what would be a battle between two of the UFC’s biggest stars. “I would like to see Jones and Adesanya get after it,” Pyle said.

Say it’s an alternate universe, and Mike Pyle , a 22-year-old from Dresden, Tenn., is getting into MMA rather than getting out. Where would he go to train? What would his style be? How would he fight his way to the top of the sport? For starters, he’d have a lot more energy to figure it all out. “I’ll take the 20-year-old testosterone,” Pyle (27-14-1 MMA, 10-9 UFC) said with a wry smile

UFC 222 winner Zak Ottow wishes Mike Pyle well in retirement, but ‘this had to be my fight to win’

BAD MMA News — Mon, 05 Mar 2018 14:14:28 +0000

LAS VEGAS – Zak Ottow sort of ruined Mike Pyle ’s swan swong, but he’s got his reasons to not let himself get too upset about it. Pyle (27-14-1 MMA, 10-9 UFC) had already announced that, regardless of outcome, the UFC 222 meeting with Ottow (16-5 MMA, 3-2 UFC) would be the final fight of a more than two-decade-long MMA run. It was as peaceful of a transition as they come: Ready for the next step, the 42-year-old fighter said he left no regrets or enemies behind and saw a number of options ahead

Mike Pyle’s final UFC fight didn’t go his way, but he still got respect from Zak Ottow

BAD MMA News — Sun, 04 Mar 2018 03:05:45 +0000

It wasn’t exactly a storybook finish for Mike Pyle , but maybe a guy who’s been in this sport as long as he has ought to know not to expect that from the brutal reality of MMA. A right hand from Zak Ottow put Pyle on his back early in the first frame of their UFC 222 fight Saturday night. Subsequent strikes on the mat put him away for a TKO finish halfway through the opening round at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (via Twitter ).

On eve of final fight, Mike Pyle looks back on nearly two decades of testing himself in MMA

Back in November 1999, a skinny kid with no pro fights on his record jumped in the ring with a guy by the name of Quinton Jackson hoping to find out what he was made of. For starters, he was made of about 30 pounds less than the fighter they called “Rampage,” a fact this skinny kid was reminded of when he got powerbombed and thrown over the top rope like a high-flying professional wrestler. Yep, Mike Pyle told himself once that night was over, this MMA fighting stuff sure was fun
