UFC on FOX 8′s Rory MacDonald: ‘Sometimes, you just want to hurt someone’

BAD MMA News — Sun, 14 Jul 2013 17:00:00 +0000

It’s impossible not to sense a sadistic streak in the 23-year-old Rory MacDonald (14-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) as he speaks about his upcoming fight with Jake Ellenberger (29-6 MMA, 8-2 UFC) at UFC on FOX 8. MacDonald insists it’s not personal when he said he sometimes feels the need to hurt someone badly in the cage. He said he won’t know whether he’ll try to do that to Ellenberger until the night of July 27, when they meet in the fight card’s co-main event at KeyArena in Seattle. Yet MacDonald said the last guy to talk trash to him – before Ellenberger decided to berate him on Twitter and in interviews – took more abuse than he might have taken had he elected to keep pre-fight interviews respectful. “The B.J. fight, I was having fun just beating on him,” MacDonald told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com)

Tim Kennedy apologizes for fighter pay comments, says taken out of context

BAD MMA News — Sat, 29 Jun 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Two days after directing pointed criticism at the pay of UFC fighters, Tim Kennedy has apologized to the fight promotion’s executives. “The intent of these statements was to highlight that professional fighters incur significant expense associated with their preparations to fight and that fighter compensation is still not on par with other major sports,” wrote the middleweight on his official Facebook fan page . Kennedy (15-4 MMA, 1-1 UFC), 33, is scheduled to meet Roger Gracie (6-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) next Saturday at UFC 162, but as of late, most of the MMA media’s attention has been focused on a controversial interview he gave this week with the Grapple Talk podcast . It was during the appearance that the decorated soldier said it was “pathetic” that fighters had to take second jobs to support their careers, and mused that he’d be better off collecting trash than accepting low pay for his services.

‘King Mo’ promises to send Noe ‘back crying to his family again’ at Bellator 97

BAD MMA News — Thu, 20 Jun 2013 22:05:00 +0000

When Muhammed Lawal (10-2 MMA, 2-1 BFC) was knocked out by Emanuel Newton earlier this year, some wondered if “King Mo” was already on the downslide in his career. A brutal Bellator 96 finish of Seth Petruzelli (12-2 MMA, 3-1 BFC) addressed those concerns, and now Lawal is promising something even more violent against Jacob Noe . “I don’t like him,” Lawal said at Wednesday’s Bellator 96 post-event press conference in Thackerville, Okla. “I don’t like the gym he trains at. He’s fake. He talks a lot of trash behind my back, and I hope that he’s here listening, or ya’ll can tell him this because I’m going to beat the brakes off of him. I’m going to whoop his ass so bad I’m going to retire him.” Fighting for the first time since his knockout loss to Newton, Lawal impressed in his first-round finish of Petruzelli. Comfortable on his feet but also quick to utilize his wrestling background, Lawal took the fight to the floor and then delivered a stunning, one-punch knockout via ground-and-pound.
