Bellator 96 winner War Machine eyes Askren, fights because ‘I can’t have a boss’

Fighting for the first time in 18 months felt a little strange for War Machine . The result felt pretty good, though. It took War Machine (13-4 MMA, 1-0 BFC) just under four minutes to stop Blas Avena (8-7 MMA, 1-1 BFC) on Wednesday night at Bellator 96 in his first fight since November 2011. Since November 2011, War Machine re-signed with Bellator (after a stint in 2009 that never came to be when he was released before the promotion’s first event after a MySpace rant about President Obama), gone back to jail, got out of jail, got a shot in a Bellator welterweight tournament, lost that shot when he tore his ACL training, healed up and now, finally, he’s back. War Machine said getting back in the cage after a long layoff didn’t necessarily have ring rust behind it, but there was something he wasn’t expecting. “That’s the thing with ring rust: It doesn’t exist that much,” War Machine told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). “You fight like 40 fights in the gym before you ever come to the real fight. But I won’t lie, I was a little more nervous than usual.

Rashad Evans is Aware of Dan Henderson’s Big Right Hand, but Isn’t Afraid of It

BAD MMA News — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 15:00:08 +0000

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans is very familiar with his UFC 161 opponent Dan Henderson . He’s been a fan of him for years. “It is a little strange match-up because of the amount of respect I have for him and how long I’ve been following his career. But he’s at the top of the game and throughout the years he’s proven he’s one of the best guys in the division still,” Evans said in a recent interview on Fuel TV . “He has longevity, and he doesn’t seem to be slowing down. So I’m going to have to slow him down on Saturday.” In recent fights, Evans has been hesitant in his offense, something that Henderson has pointed out leading up to the fight. But Evans has focused on changing that and believes there will be no hesitation when he faces Henderson. “One of the thing I’ve been working on more than anything the last few months since my last fight was just becoming more confident and implementing what I’m good at and just doing what I do. I seem to have a tendency to overthink a lot of what I’m doing when I’m out there competing. And when you’re out there competing, thinking is the last thing you really should be doing,” he explained. “You should just be reacting. That’s what training is for, so you can train your body to not even think but just react. So I’m starting to trust myself a little bit more, starting to believe in myself a little bit more, my striking and tools that I’ve got. And I think I’m coming with a full round game this time,” added Evans. Henderson is known for his punching power, particularly in his right hand that has been dubbed the “H-bomb.” Evans is aware of Henderson’s knockout prowess, but he isn’t afraid of it. “I watch it and I’ve watched it over and over again. But for the most part, I can’t be afraid to get hit because I think at one point in the fight that I am going to get hit by it. And I think it’s one of those things where you’re constantly paranoid that you’re going to get hit by it, you’re probably going to get hit by it harder than you think you are,” he said. “I’m just going to go and fight. I’ve fought a lot of guys with big right hands. I’ve fought Rampage ( Quinton Jackson ). He has a big right hand. I’ve fought Chuck Liddell . He has a big right hand. So I know I can go in there and get caught by a big right hand and keep on fighting, so I’m not going to make his big right hand a big deal,” said the 33-year-old.
