UFC 215′s Alex White doesn’t mind Mitch Clarke stole a little of his thunder

BAD MMA News — Mon, 11 Sep 2017 13:48:36 +0000

Filed under: News , UFC , Videos EDMONTON – Alex White earned his first win as a UFC lightweight at UFC 215, getting back in the win column in an octagon career marked by long stretches of inactivity. Definitely a thing to applaud, but White (12-3 MMA, 3-3 UFC) found most of that going toward the opponent he beat, Mitch Clarke (11-5 MMA, 2-5 UFC), who bid farewell to his hometown crowd in Edmonton by laying his gloves on the canvas. The retirement was kind of a thunder-stealer. White, as it turns out, doesn’t mind too much

Mitch Clarke gave a very Canadian retirement speech after UFC 215 loss

BAD MMA News — Sun, 10 Sep 2017 01:31:32 +0000

Mitch Clarke took an absolute pummeling at the hands of Alex White at UFC 215, which meant that when he went to address the crowd after his second-round TKO loss, he had to look out at them through two eyes that were both nearly swollen shut. Despite the blood and the evident bruises, Clarke still managed a retirement speech that was as about as gracious and polite – and, let’s just say it, Canadian – as any we’ve ever heard in the UFC (via Twitter ): “Although I did not get the result I wanted…” This is the most Canadian retirement speech I've ever heard. And from a guy tough as nails. pic.twitter.com/VEoywV4srq — Ben Fowlkes (@benfowlkesMMA) September 10, 2017 Clarke (11-5 MMA, 2-5 UFC) began by thanking commentators Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier for praising his toughness while he was busy eating a torrent of elbows from White (12-3 MMA, 3-3 UFC) early in the second (and it really was a sight to behold), then admitting that basically his entire MMA career had been built on being tough enough to overcome some athletic deficiencies. That’s when he told us his career was actually over

After main-event scratch, Henry Cejudo vs. Wilson Reis elevated to UFC 215 PPV lineup

BAD MMA News — Fri, 08 Sep 2017 13:05:31 +0000

The UFC flyweight championship fight between Demetrious Johnson and Ray Borg may be off UFC 215, but viewers of the pay-per-view will still get a matchup between two elite members of the 125-pound division. After Borg (11-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) was forced to withdraw from the UFC 215 headliner against Johnson (26-2-1 MMA, 14-1-1 UFC) on short notice due to a “viral illness,” a matchup between former flyweight title challengers Henry Cejudo (10-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) and Wilson Reis (22-7 MMA, 6-3 UFC) has been elevated to the pay-per-view main card. UFC officials announced the change in a statement late Thursday.

Al Iaquinta rages on, turns crosshairs on Reebok, Sage Northcutt, Kevin Lee and more

BAD MMA News — Wed, 26 Apr 2017 01:37:23 +0000

Ladies and gentlemen, Al Iaquinta is not quite done just yet. Three days removed from a devastating knockout of Diego Sanchez – and then a social media attack on his employers – Iaquinta (13-3-1 MMA, 8-2 UFC) took to Twitter to blast the official uniform provider of the UFC for choosing to support fellow lightweight Sage Northcutt (8-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC). Just got off the phone with @Reebok trying to act cool with me, ether youbwoth me or against me — Al Iaquinta (@ALIAQUINTA) April 25, 2017 You choose little bitch sagenorth cut over me I'm the fucking man.. I'll take your guy out @Reebok take away my sponsor money — Al Iaquinta (@ALIAQUINTA) April 25, 2017 Iaquinta did step in to clarify that he actually liked Reebok’s gear, at least, though with an emoji laughing so hard it’s crying, there may have been just a touch of sarcasm in the message, as well. Reebok has some nice gear though I'll give t got them@ — Al Iaquinta (@ALIAQUINTA) April 25, 2017 Following his UFC Fight Night 108 win over Sanchez – which came following a two-year layoff for Iaquinta – the New Yorker now boasts a five-fight winning streak and is 8-2 overall in the UFC. Included in that run is a February 2014 win over Kevin Lee (15-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC), who has since gone 8-1 in the octagon
