Moment of aggression leaves UFC on FOX 8′s Jessica Andrade a lasting nickname

BAD MMA News — Sat, 27 Jul 2013 01:30:00 +0000

UFC newcomer Jessica Andrade ‘s bright smile hides a fierce martial arts competitor. The only grin bigger than hers during an open workout in support of UFC on FOX 8 belonged to her opponent, recent bantamweight title challenger Liz Carmouche . But Andrade’s nickname is also “Bate Estaca,” which in Portuguese means “Pile Driver.” It’s an illegal move in MMA, and one that immediately prompts howls for point deductions. Andrade, a blue belt in jiu-jitsu who lives in the city of Niteroi in the state of Rio de Janeiro, earned it during a grappling competition in which she faced a larger opponent. During their match, she was caught in an armbar, and in a panic, picked up the opponent and slammed her on her head. She doesn’t believe in cheating, of course, but she’s kept the name throughout her 11-fight career because it just might serve a purpose in the UFC. “I think it’s a cool nickname if it puts fear in the hearts of my opponents,” Andrade told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). Andrade (9-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) and Carmouche (8-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) open the main card of UFC on FOX 8, which takes place Saturday at Seattle’s KeyArena and airs live on FOX. Andrade steps up on short notice as a replacement for ex-Strikeforce champ Miesha Tate , who was tapped to coach “The Ultimate Fighter 18″ and fight champ Ronda Rousey when title challenger Cat Zingano was injured. The 5-foot-3 Andrade walked away from five scheduled fights in six months to accept the bout with Carmouche, who returns to the octagon after a submission loss to Rousey in February. The opponents share a background in jiu-jitsu, though Andrade also has cut her teeth against bigger and more seasoned strikers recently in her 11-fight career. “I already fought Duda Yankovich , a boxing champion, and she was a lot bigger,” said Andrade. “I submitted her and won the fight

UFC on FOX 8′s Rory MacDonald unconcerned with what may be on the line

Rory MacDonald said he’s only trying to please himself when it comes to expectations of where he’ll end up in the UFC’s welterweight division. A lot of people seem very concerned about that question, but the way he sees it, the answer is his and his alone. “I’ve worked hard to get where I am, and I want to prove to myself that I’m there,” MacDonald said at an open workout for UFC on FOX 8, where he meets fellow top contender Jake Ellenberger . “As far as what people say or think, I can’t control that. I’ve been winning my fights lately, and doing it in good fashion, so I think that’s why I’m here

Anderson Silva UFC 162 Open Workout Culminates in Kicking Contest with Feijao (video)

BAD MMA News — Thu, 04 Jul 2013 21:53:50 +0000

Many fighters that take part in the customary UFC open workouts in the days leading up to pay-per-view events don’t like to reveal much in their public workout session. Anderson Silva , however, is not that guy. He didn’t exactly reveal his game day strategy, but he unloaded everything but the kitchen sink for UFC Fight Week fans in Las Vegas. Silva puts his middleweight belt on the line against Chris Weidman in Saturday’s UFC 162 main event. Silva unleashed his stunning hand-speed and vast array of unorthodox techniques in a workout that culminated in a kicking contest between him and teammate Rafael “Feijao” Cavalcante. The two blasted away at a kick pad held by a training partner whom they appeared to be attempting to chop in half
