The LFA cage reopened for business once again Friday night in Sioux Falls, South Dakota as LFA 90 featured an eight-fight card at the Sanford Pentagon. The promotion’s vacant bantamweight strap was up for grabs in the night’s main event as undefeated Georgian Zviad Lazishvili (13-0) submitted the previously undefeated Ricky Steele (6-1) via first-round rear-naked choke to capture the 135-pound title. There was a big knockout for Brazilian welterweight Maycon Mendoca (10-4) in the co-main event, as he finished Devin Smyth (9-3) late in the second round to claim his fourth straight victory under the LFA banner

Dana White’s Contender Series 25: Grading the winners

BAD MMA News — Wed, 21 Aug 2019 18:04:19 +0000

Dana White’s Contender Series 25 took place Tuesday in Las Vegas, and we’re grading the winners from the five-fight card, which streamed on ESPN+ from the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. With a refreshing but digestible format that has had the MMA fanbase responding, this series has shown to have legs in multiple ways while serving as a crockpot for contenders whom the UFC matchmakers can use for future events. So, with that trend in mind, I will once again be taking a look at the winning fighters regardless of whether or not they won a UFC contract, grading their performances in regards to their probability of returning to a UFC stage. **** Ricky Steele Weight class : Bantamweight Result : Ricky Steele def. Phil Caracappa via split decision (28-29, 29-28, 29-28) Grade : C Summary : Although it looked like a fun affair on paper, I had a hard time giving out a higher grade for Ricky Steele ’s grinding effort over Phil Caracappa.

‘The Ultimate Fighter 27′ blog, episode No. 7: Chinese whispers

BAD MMA News — Fri, 01 Jun 2018 00:36:58 +0000

The preliminary round is coming to a close with an outstanding performance from Ricky Steele , but yet again, injuries strike. Getting to know Ricky prior to his fight with Suman Mokhtarian , he talked about having multiple surgeries on his feet – and as much as his style is hard to beat, using your feet as your main weapons will always bring complications. So with that, I thought he might be a little more selective with his kicks in this fight, as it was only fight No

‘The Ultimate Fighter 27′ blog, episode No. 6: Opportunity

BAD MMA News — Thu, 24 May 2018 13:24:30 +0000

Finally , we have our first win, so moving forward now we have a little momentum as head into episode No. 6 of “The Ultimate Fighter 27 .” Up next is Suman Mokhtarian vs. Ricky Steele – a classic grappler vs. striker matchup. Now heading into this fight, I was very confident Suman had the skills to finish Ricky on the floor, but Ricky had the fastest footwork in the house. One thing Suman had on his side was that the cage is smaller than normal, so it plays into the grappler’s favor
