BAD MMA News — Wed, 02 Jul 2025 17:00:00 +0000

Photo by Cooper Neill/Zuffa LLC Islam Makhachev has been the pound-for-pound king for over 600 days. After UFC 317 , that reign is in serious jeopardy. Ilia Topuria wanted Makhachev to be his legacy-making statement, but he’ll have to settle for claiming a vacant lightweight title by scoring a Knockout of the Year contender against future Hall of Famer Charles Oliveira and becoming one of just 10 fighters to hold UFC championships in two divisions.

With a break in action from any major MMA events this week, the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie.com MMA welterweight rankings stood firm.

One month from now, No. 3 Jake Ellenberger and No. 6 Rory MacDonald meet in a fight that’s quickly becoming a grudge match as a war of words escalates on Twitter. Bellator MMA champ Ben Askren defends his belt just four days later.

One FC Lightweight Champion Shinya Aoki Set for a Drop to Featherweight

BAD MMA News — Tue, 25 Jun 2013 18:00:51 +0000

Shinya Aoki has been the most dominant lightweights in Asia for the better part of a decade, but the reigning ONE FC lightweight champion and former Dream, Shooto and WAMMA champion is set for a new challenge: campaigning at 145 pounds. Talk of a possible drop down in weight for Aoki has been intensifying ever since his title victory over Kotetsu Boku . He made the 155-pound limit so easily for that fight that both him and his team stated that he would be likely to compete at featherweight in the future. The final stage in the preparatory process took place last weekend with Aoki completing a successful test cut. He posted a photo of himself on Facebook stepping on the scales at 65.6 kg along with a message saying that it had been “no problem.” The most obvious fight for the Japanese legend would be against reigning ONE FC featherweight champion Koji Oishi , who won the belt by beating Honorio Banario in Manila last month. Aoki, however, also holds the lightweight strap, which could complicate any prospective featherweight match-up, as ONE FC matchmaker Matt Hume might be reluctant to allow one fighter to hold two belts concurrently. If he remains at 155 pounds, there are a number of potential contenders coming through the ONE FC ranks including Kamal Shalorus , Caros Fodor and Lowen Tynanes, while the top-ranked fighters in the featherweight division at present are Oishi, Banario, Eric Kelly, and Bae Young Kwon. The decision to move down in weight was made by Aoki and the training team at Evolve MMA in Singapore, which has a proven track record of helping its fighters make weight drops
