Jose Aldo thinks he may have broken foot during UFC 163 win over ‘Korean Zombie’

RIO DE JANEIRO – Jose Aldo was dominant once again on Saturday, but it may be a while before he’s able to be again. Aldo (23-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC), the UFC’s featherweight champion, defended his title with a fourth-round TKO of Chan Sung Jung (13-4 MMA, 3-1 UFC) in the main event of UFC 163, which took place at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janiero. Aldo won the fight not long after Jung, “The Korean Zombie,” appeared to separate his right shoulder throwing a combination. When Aldo saw the shoulder injury, he took advantage and got a fairly quick TKO in the fourth round. But after the fight, Aldo said he was injured, too. The Brazilian fighter believes he may have broken his foot against Jung. “He knew I’d be giving him low kicks, and I think the first combination I kicked straight at his knee,” Aldo told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) at the event’s post-fight news conference. “I don’t know if I broke my foot, but I can hardly walk on it.

It’s Business as Usual for Demetrious Johnson Heading into Second UFC Title Defense

BAD MMA News — Tue, 23 Jul 2013 14:30:00 +0000

Every fighter has his own unique way of preparing for a fight. Some scout their opponents and watch hours of video. Some bring in training partners to simulate their opponent’s style. UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson doesn’t do any of that. Johnson (17-2-1) was originally expected to face John Moraga on April 13, but a shoulder injury pushed back the bout to the UFC on Fox 8 fight card on July 27. Now healed, Johnson is ready for his second UFC title defense. “Recovery has gone great. Once I got cleared from a doctor to start training again, I started training,” Johnson said on a recent media conference call . “I’m feeling great; shoulder’s feeling 100-percent, and just ready to do work.” Moraga (13-1) is on a seven-fight winning streak and possesses solid wrestling and good boxing, but Johnson doesn’t feel that Moraga brings anything to the table that he hasn’t already faced. “My last fight I fought, I think he’s probably one of the guys in the division that has that one-strike knockout power where he drops guys, and you’ve seen him do it all the time. I’m speaking of John Dodson. John Moraga possesses great skills. He throws great combinations, but as far as me, when it comes to my training and preparing for fighters or fights, we don’t bring anybody in to emulate my opponent. We don’t go out and seek information on my opponent,” said Johnson. “We just train hard. I believe in my training partners and my coaching, and that’s what we’ve done and it hasn’t let us down yet.” Johnson doesn’t worry about what his opponent is going to do or what he does best. His only concern is becoming a better fighter.

ONE FC’s Bibiano Fernandes: Back to 145? Maybe. But flyweight? ‘No way.’

BAD MMA News — Sat, 22 Jun 2013 17:45:00 +0000

Bibiano Fernandes has felt right at home at featherweight in the past. And he feels plenty comfortable now as a bantamweight. Fernandes (14-3) this past month won ONE FC’s interim bantamweight title with a five-round unanimous decision victory over Koetsu Okazaki (8-3-1) at ONE FC 9 in the Philippines. He was the DREAM featherweight champ in 2009-2010, then dropped down to bantamweight after losing the belt to Hiroyuki Takaya . And he quickly proceeded to win that promotion’s title at 135. Now he awaits word on when he might fight current ONE FC champ Soo Chul Kim , who has been sidelined with a shoulder injury. In the meantime, would Fernandes ever consider going back up to featherweight
