Michael Schiavello puts Nick Diaz on blast for interview no-show

BAD MMA News — Tue, 23 Jul 2013 16:45:00 +0000

Like so many others, Michael Schiavello has learned that dependability and availability aren’t among Nick Diaz ‘s strong suits. The veteran broadcaster took to Twitter on Monday night to scold the recent UFC title challenger for skipping a taping of his “The Voice Versus” interview series. As he wrote: “@nickdiaz209 has no showed The Voice Versus. Nick you have let your fans down again… And me a big fan in particular. Unprofessional mate.” Over the weekend Schiavello confirmed Diaz was scheduled as a guest, and he said was flying to the fighter’s hometown of Stockton, Calif., to tape the show, which airs on AXS TV. The show previously has drawn many notables from the MMA and entertainment industries, including Dana White, Alistair Overeem , Steven Austin, George Foreman and Steven Seagal. Diaz, though, apparently won’t be one of them

Video: These are the fighters and brave souls predicting an Anderson Silva loss

BAD MMA News — Wed, 03 Jul 2013 02:30:00 +0000

The last time Anderson Silva (33-4 MMA, 16-0 UFC) was soundly defeated in an MMA fight, gas was a $1.85 a gallon, and the Boston Red Sox won their first World Series in 86 years. The UFC 162 headliner and longtime middleweight champion has decimated nearly every competitor since a loss to Ryo Chonan at PRIDE Shockwave 2004, and other than a DQ loss to Yushin Okami in 2006, he’s been unbeatable. Yet, despite the champ’s 16-fight UFC winning streak and his 10 consecutive title defenses, a growing number of fighters believe Chris Weidman (9-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) will pull off the upset in the pay-per-view headliner of Saturday’s UFC 162 event. Check out the above video as notables such as Georges St-Pierre, Daniel Cormier, Luke Rockhold, Gray Maynard and John Moraga suggest an upset is imminent.

July 1 USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie.com MMA Rankings

BAD MMA News — Mon, 01 Jul 2013 20:45:00 +0000

Ranking Criteria The rankings take into account a fighter’s wins/losses, quality of competition, finishing rate/dominance and frequency of fights. Fighters are no longer eligible to be ranked after they’ve been inactive for 24 months, either due to injuries, drug/conduct suspensions, contract disputes or self-imposed hiatuses. Fighters serving drug/conduct suspensions are eligible to be ranked, so long as they’re not inactive for more than 24 months. To the best of our ability, fighters will be ranked in their primary weight class. Catchweight fights and bouts outside the fighter’s primary weight class can have a positive or negative impact on the ranking. However, fighters can be ranked in only one weight class at a given time, and in most cases, they won’t be ranked in a new weight class until they’ve had their first fight at that weight. Although this past week saw little MMA action and no movement in the USA TODAY Sports and MMAjunkie.com MMA rankings, plenty of notables are in action this coming weekend. At Saturday’s UFC 162 event, seven top 15 fighters and two honorable mentions are in action
