Fight video: Michael Chandler demolishes David Rickels at Bellator 97

BAD MMA News — Thu, 01 Aug 2013 15:30:00 +0000

Each event, Bellator MMA picks a top moment from its fight card. Lightweight champion Michael Chandler easily wrapped up that honor with a devastating first-round knockout of David Rickels . Chandler (12-0 MMA, 9-0 BMMA) needed just 44 seconds to flatten Rickels (14-2 MMA, 8-2 BMMA), a recent tournament winner, and notch the second defense of his title at Wednesday’s Bellator 97 event. Chandler, who’s currently ranked No. 3 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie.com MMA lightweight rankings , quickly unloaded a swarm of punches in the Spike TV-televised headliner to delight fans at Santa Ana Star Center in Rio Rancho, N.M.

Bellator 97 video highlights: Askren beats down Koreshkov, ‘King Mo’ cruises

BAD MMA News — Thu, 01 Aug 2013 15:25:00 +0000

Wednesday’s Bellator 97 event included five main-card bouts and five knockouts, including TKO wins by welterweight champion Ben Askren and notable Muhammed Lawal . Check out the video highlights of each bout. Bellator 97 aired on Spike TV from Santa Ana Star Center in Rio Rancho, N.M. In addition to lightweight champ Michael Chandler (12-0 MMA, 9-0 BMMA) topping David Rickels (14-2 MMA, 8-2 BMMA) in just 44 seconds, fellow champ Askren (12-0 MMA, 9-0 BMMA) posted a hugely lopsided TKO win over fellow welterweight Andrey Koreshkov (13-1 MMA, 5-1 BMMA) in the co-headliner. Two “Summer Series” tournaments also concluded as “King Mo” Lawal (11-2 MMA, 3-1 BMMA) battered and bloodied fellow light heavyweight Jacob Noe (12-3 MMA, 3-2 BMMA), and heavyweight Vitaly Minakov (12-0 MMA, 3-0 BMMA) overcame a baffling point deduction to stop Ryan Martinez (10-2 MMA, 3-2 BMMA) late in their fight. The night kicked off with a vintage “Pitbull” performance as Patricio Freire (18-2 MMA, 6-2 BMMA) continually knocked down and ultimately stopped a resilient Jared Downing (9-3 MMA, 0-1 BMMA).

Video: Behind the scenes as Cris ‘Cyborg’ tops Marloes Coenen for Invicta title

BAD MMA News — Thu, 18 Jul 2013 20:15:00 +0000

Marloes Coenen (21-6) is a remarkable MMA fighter and one of the few female competitors with more than 20 wins. The fact Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino (12-1) so easily dismantled her served as a bit of a wakeup call this past weekend. Following the Invicta FC 6 pay-per-view headliner, where Justino claimed the organization’s inaugural featherweight title, Invicta has released “All Angles: Cris Cyborg.” The video, produced by the AllElbows.com team, takes readers behind the scenes and into the cage for the lopsided July 13 title fight, where Santos, a former Strikeforce champion, picked up her 12th straight win and her second major championship. Check out the video above. And for more on Invicta FC 6 , including an event recap , check out the MMA Events section of the site. Edit this article
