UFC 165 Results: Brendan Schaub Submits Matt Mitrione to Settle the Score

BAD MMA News — Sun, 22 Sep 2013 08:03:10 +0000

Former NFL’ers turned UFC employees Matt Mitrione and Brendan Schaub met in the cage at UFC 165 Saturday night at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto. Unlike their previous occupations, this one allows powerful blows to the head of their opponents. In fact, it’s encouraged. However, for the first 30 seconds of their showdown on Saturday, nobody told these two heavyweight sluggers, as there was not a single strike thrown. The former training partners and castmates on The Ultimate Fighter 10 met in the center of the Octagon without touching gloves. The pre-fight trash talk was hot and heavy between the former friends, and after the first 30 seconds had ticked away, the two big men started exchanging with reckless abandon.

Prior to Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 26: Shogun vs. Sonnen event at the TD Garden in Boston, the 26 fighters participating on the fight card weighed in on Friday. Former light heavyweight titleholder Mauricio “Shogun” Rua takes on Chael Sonnen in the main event, while heavyweight contenders Alistair Overeem and Travis Browne collide in the co-main event. There hasn’t been the typical trash talk and banter that we’ve come to expect out of Chael Sonnen leading up to this fight at the TD Garden in Boston

SEATTLE – MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) was on scene for today’s official fighter weigh-ins for UFC on FOX 8, where all 24 competitors are official for Saturday’s card. In the main event, UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson, who lives near Seattle, defends his belt for the second time when he takes on John Moraga – a fighter who is 2-0 in the UFC, but in two fights that have opened up preliminary cards. Johnson and Moraga had a reasonably calm face-off after each weighing in a half-pound under the limit at 124.5 pounds. Saturday’s co-main event has stolen some of the thunder from the title fight thanks to the back-and-forth trash talk between welterweight contenders Jake Ellenberger and Rory MacDonald. But despite the growing bad blood, their face-off was fairly uneventful, as well. Ellenberger weighed in at 171 pounds, while MacDonald was 170.5

UFC on Fox 8 Johnson vs. Moraga Weigh-in Results: Several Fighters Miss the Mark

BAD MMA News — Sat, 27 Jul 2013 03:45:17 +0000

The 24 fighters taking part on the UFC on Fox 8 fight card on Saturday stepped on the scale at Seattle’s KeyArena on Friday for the official weigh-ins. UFC on Fox 8 is headlined by a flyweight title fight between champion Demetrious Johnson and challenger John Moraga . Neither champion nor challenger had any issues weighing in. Each man tipped the scale at 124.5 pounds, half a pound under the 125-pound limit for a flyweight title fight. Co-main eventers Rory MacDonald and Jake Ellenberger have stolen much of the flyweights’ thunder leading up to the event, due in large part to Ellenberger’s verbal jabs at every turn. After weighing in, however, the trash talk is about done and it’s time to back it up in the Octagon.

After Kampmann loss, UFC on FOX 8′s Jake Ellenberger hitting on new formula

BAD MMA News — Thu, 25 Jul 2013 15:00:00 +0000

SEATTLE – Thirty-five fights into his career, Jake Ellenberger might finally be coming into his own – in a couple different ways. One that’s been very much on display for Ellenberger (29-6 MMA, 8-2 UFC) in the buildup to his fight this week is the level at which he’s hyped his UFC on FOX 8 co-main event with Rory MacDonald (14-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC). Ellenberger has upped the trash-talk quotient to the nth degree compared to past fights. “People take this sport too seriously – that’s my opinion,” Ellenberger told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) on Wednesday in Seattle, where he meets MacDonald on Satuday at KeyArena. “I did it for a while, too. I came from the Marine Corps, in the military

FORTALEZA, Brazil – Former Strikeforce champ Rafael Cavalcante is ready to fulfill a dream on Saturday night when he makes his UFC debut. And while opponent Thiago Silva (14-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC) seems to be treating the bout as a grudge match, Cavalcante (11-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC) said he can’t be bothered to really care. “I don’t even listen to him,” Cavalcante told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “I don’t even know what he was talking about. But I don’t care about that. All that matters is Saturday. That’s when we’ll see what happens.” “Feijao” and Silva meet on the FUEL TV-broadcast main card of Saturday’s UFC on FUEL TV 10 event, which takes place at Paulo Sarasate Arena in Fortaleza, Brazil. Ahead of the fight, Silva said Cavalcante has been acting like “a Hollywood celebrity” and suggested he couldn’t wait to “slap ‘Feijao’ around.” Cavalcante said he has no idea Silva is talking about
