RIO DE JANEIRO – It took some time, but Ian McCall finally knows what it feels like to get a win in the UFC. “Uncle Creepy” used both his speed and his savvy to outpoint Iliarde Santos en route to a unanimous decision victory (30-27, 30-27, 29-28). The flyweight bout took place today at UFC 163 at Rio de Janeiro’s HSBC Arena. It aired on FX ahead of the pay-per-view main card. Santos made clear early on that he had a big right and a willingness to use it, and throughout the three-round battle he did his best to find a home for it on McCall’s skull. But McCall was just too quick for his Brazilian opponent, bouncing in and out with crisp, effective combinations that ultimately won the day. McCall (12-4-1 MMA, 1-2-1 UFC) gets his first victory in four tries inside the octagon. Santos (27-8-1 MMA, 0-2 UFC) remains winless in the UFC, following up on a knockout loss in his debut with his decision defeat at the hands of McCall

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. Check out the video above. And for more on Invicta FC 6 , including an event recap , check out the MMA Events section of the site. Edit this article

For Josh Burkman It’s Not About Avenging a Jon Fitch Loss or a Title, It’s About Being the Best

BAD MMA News — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 21:47:33 +0000

Since signing with the World Series of Fighting last year, welterweight Josh Burkman has worked his way into the position of being one of the promotion’s top 170-pound fighters with two wins in two fights for the company. As Burkman told MMAWeekly.com , getting to this point was his objective from the beginning. “My goal was to go in and win fights against top competitors and become a feature guy in the organization,” he said. “(President) Ray Sefo and (matchmaker) Ali (Abdel-Aziz) promised me they’d go out and get top talent and they’ve done that. “I’m real excited about the show, their deal with NBC Sports Network, and I think we’re headed in the right direction.” Burkman will get a chance to prove he’s tops in the promotion when he takes on fellow former UFC welterweight Jon Fitch on Friday in Las Vegas, live on NBC Sports Network. The bout is a rematch of their initial fight seven years ago. “The only thing that carries over is I remember getting beaten up by a very good fighter,” chuckled Burkman.

Fedor Still Tops Accomplishments, but Fabricio Werdum Contemplates Path to UFC Title Shot

BAD MMA News — Sun, 09 Jun 2013 11:05:14 +0000

As great as it was for Fabricio Werdum to avenge a loss and topple his idol at UFC on Fuel TV 10 in Fortaleza, Brazil, on Saturday night, beating Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira still didn’t rank as the highest accomplishment of his mixed martial arts career. That position is still reserved for Werdum’s victory over Fedor Emelianenko when the two fought under the Strikeforce banner. “It was definitely Fedor,” Werdum said at Saturday night’s press conference. He fought just one more time for Strikeforce following the win over Fedor . He lost a unanimous decision to Alistair Overeem in what proved to be lackluster efforts from both men. Werdum immediately rebounded when he moved to the UFC , reeling off victories over Roy Nelson and Mike Russow en route to his rematch with Nogueira. Now he is in the thick of UFC heavyweight title talk.
