Legacy FC 51 Legacy FC returns tonight with a card in the frozen tundra of Minnesota, and the vacant bantamweight title is on the line. In the main event, Ricardo Lucas Ramos takes on Manuel Vazquez for the 135-pound title vacated by Thomas Almeida when he moved to the UFC. Ramos is a heavy favorite – and may have some more motivation outside the Legacy belt – UFC President Dana White and former welterweight champion Matt Serra are on hand scouting as part of the new web series “Dana White: Lookin’ for a Fight.” Legacy FC 51 takes place at Grand Casino Hinckley in Hinckley, Minn. The main card airs live on AXS TV. Get live results and recaps for Legacy FC 51 here starting at 10 p.m

BOSTON – In the battle of the big right hands, Joby Sanchez seemed to have just a little more pop on his punches, which made all the difference in a close three-round fight against a game Tateki Matsuda . Even when Sanchez (7-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) was being outlanded in the early going, it was his power that planted Matsuda (10-7 MMA, 0-2 UFC) on the floor at key moments, helping to earn him a split decision victory (29-28, 28-29, 30-27) when all was said and done. The flyweight bout kicked off today’s UFC Fight Night 59 event at Boston’s TD Garden. It was the first of two preliminary bouts streamed on UFC Fight Pass ahead of preliminary and main-card bouts on FOX Sports 1.

UFC Fight Night 50 results: Chris Beal outlasts game Tateki Matsuda

BAD MMA News — Sat, 06 Sep 2014 00:43:22 +0000

LEDYARD, Conn. – Despite a spirited effort from Tateki Matsuda (10-6 MMA, 0-1 UFC), “The Ultimate Fighter 18″ veteran Chris Beal (10-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) toughed his way through obstacles and earned a unanimous decision. Matsuda, who briefly appeared on “The Ultimate Figheter 14,” punished the leg of his fellow reality-show vet over three rounds to the point where the veteran of “The Ultimate Fighter 18″ was in obvious pain, and yet his missteps in grappling allowed Beal to make up the deficit. The bantamweight bout was part of the preliminary card of today’s UFC Fight Night 50 event at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Ledyard, Conn. It aired on FOX Sports 1. The final scores were 29-28 twice and 30-27 for Beal, who extended his unbeaten streak to 10 wins and picked up his second UFC victory after falling short on “TUF 18.” Beal frequently struggled to find his punching range and allowed his front leg to be tenderized by Matsuda, but he excelled when his opponent executed several sloppy takedowns
