UFC Fight Night 26′s Yuri Alcantara wanted to train with Urijah Faber

BOSTON – Had things worked out differently, Yuri Alcantara might be feeling a little more awkward about his upcoming fight with Urijah Faber . Alcantara (28-4 MMA, 3-1 UFC) flirted with the idea of training at the Team Alpha Male gym where Faber (28-6 MMA, 4-2 UFC) hangs his hat. The two might have made for some spirited sparring, but the Brazilian Alcantara, who most recently beat Iliarde Santos at UFC on FX 8, didn’t wind up making the trek for Sacramento, Calif., where Faber’s gym resides. Good thing, because not long afterward, they were booked to fight each other at UFC Fight Night 26, which takes place Saturday at TD Garden in Boston.

It didn’t take Cezar “Mutante” Ferreira to show why he was the winner of the first season of The Ultimate Fighter Brazil and Thiago “Marreta” Santos was out early during his stint on TUF 2. Ferreira and Santos squared off on the main card of UFC 163 at HSBC Arena on Saturday night in Rio de Janeiro. Ferreira had been out of action since winning TUF Brazil last year at UFC 147, dealing with a couple of surgeries and relocating his camp to the Blackzilians, following his mentor Vitor Belfort to Florida. He hasn’t lost a step in all that time. If anything, he’s only improved. Ferreira didn’t get a chance to show a lot of his game on Saturday night. He made quick work of Santos, dropping him early with a looping left hand

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.
