Cat Zingano expects to be cleared to return to fighting in February

BAD MMA News — Fri, 09 Aug 2013 17:45:00 +0000

Undefeated UFC women’s bantamweight contender “Alpha” Cat Zingano (8-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) expects to return to the octagon in six months. Zingano on Thursday posted a YouTube video of her attending surgeon, Dr. Ronald Kvitne of Los Angeles’ Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic, delivering her news that she should be able to return to full training in approximately four months and fighting two months later. Earlier this year, Zingano underwent an ACL replacement surgery. The injury was costly, pulling her out of a planned coaching slot opposite Ronda Rousey on the soon-to-debut “The Ultimate Fighter 18″ series, as well as a December shot at the UFC women’s bantamweight belt. Miesha Tate , a fighter Zingano defeated in April, stepped in to fill Zingano’s slot both on the series and in the championship bout. Zingano, who injured herself during her strength and conditioning routine, also suffered a torn meniscus, as well. Since the surgery, which involved using a cadaver’s Achilles tendon to replace the ACL, Zingano has been focused on an intense physical therapy routine in an effort to get back to peak form.

Larry Crowe Sees Legacy FC 21 Bout as Opportunity to Elevate His Career

BAD MMA News — Tue, 16 Jul 2013 05:45:59 +0000

Following a year’s layoff, Legacy FC middleweight title contender Larry “Tae Kwon” Crowe came back to MMA this past March with an impressive 90-second TKO of Matt Rogers. For Crowe, the time off wasn’t something he planned, but it ultimately paid off. “I had an injury and that cost me about six months off, and other than that, it was just waiting for the right opportunity (to return),” he said. “I’ve been training for the last year and a half before that fight in the gym, so it was good to show my new gym what I’ve been training for and what I had going for me.

Dave Herman Must Pass Immediate Drug Test Before Being Allowed to Fight at UFC 162

BAD MMA News — Sat, 29 Jun 2013 20:35:22 +0000

UFC heavyweight Dave Herman has had drug test related issues during his fighting career, and it hasn’t gone unnoticed by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. The NSAC at a commission meeting on Friday said it would issue Herman a one-fight license to compete at next week’s UFC 162 in Las Vegas, but the license is contingent upon him passing an immediate drug test. He is slated to fight Gabriel Gonzaga as part of the UFC 162 preliminary bouts scheduled to air on the FX network. Herman had a UFC 136 bout with Mike Russow cancelled when he failed a preliminary drug test. He then failed a post-fight drug test following his loss to Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 153. He tested positive for marijuana both times. Herman was suspended for six months and required to undergo a drug treatment program following his failed test at UFC 153. If he passes the test and fights at UFC 162, Herman is still not in the clear

Carina Damm will appeal suspension, says manager

BAD MMA News — Tue, 25 Jun 2013 05:50:00 +0000

The manager of Carina Damm says the fighter will appeal a six-month suspension and $550 fine from the Ohio State Athletic Commission. Jason Ellis of Relentless Sports Management today told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that Damm denies submitting a false urine sample to the commission following a fight in Cleveland earlier this month. Ellis added that Damm told him she not take performance-enhancing drugs prior to the competition. “I don’t have all the facts,” Ellis said. “I spoke with Carina and her husband briefly, and my understanding is that she’s not doing anything she’s not supposed to be doing. I was told that she isn’t, so I’m going to support my client and see the facts through.” Damm (18-9), who’s married to Bellator vet Luis Santos and is the sister of UFC featherweight Rodrigo Damm , is suspended for six months retroactive to the date of her fight, which took place June 1 at “NAAFS: Fight Night in the Flats 9.” She lost a decision in a catchweight bout against Bellator vet Jessica Eye (10-1), which at the time was her third consecutive setback. Two weeks later, she fought in Brazil and earned a first-round TKO in another regional event

Video: Despite opponent’s layoff, Tim Boetsch ready for best Munoz at UFC 162

BAD MMA News — Mon, 24 Jun 2013 22:00:00 +0000

It’s hard to expect anyone having a significant MMA win streak snapped and being fine with it. Tim Boetsch is no different. Boetsch (16-5 MMA, 7-4 UFC) tries to get back on track next week against Mark Munoz (12-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) to open up the main card of UFC 162, which takes place at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. It will have been a little more than six months since Boetsch’s third-round TKO loss to Constantinos Philippou at UFC 155 kept him from pushing his win streak to five. Truth told, he might not be over it yet – though he’s plenty focused in on Munoz.

Damm was suspended for six months and fined $550, but she is still entitled to a hearing, initially set for Aug. 13, if she chooses to appeal, according to Profato. “She was observed by another female, but it is difficult to actually physically watch the person go in the cup,” Profato told MMAWeekly.com .
