15 minutes with Chael Sonnen: Wanderlei, Vitor, TRT and hypocrisy

BAD MMA News — Tue, 03 Jun 2014 17:05:40 +0000

Filed under: Featured , Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos SAO PAULO – Chael Sonnen has a pretty simple explanation for some of the things he’s heard coming from Wanderlei Silva : “Stupid people say stupid things.” This past Friday, Sonnen spent 15 minutes with MMAjunkie’s John Morgan and Globo’s Ivan Raupp at Sao Paulo’s Ibirapuera Gymnasium, and he revealed he’s done talking about any potential future fight with “The Axe Murderer,” regardless of what ultimately happens with Silva’s professional career. “I’m good,” Sonnen said. “I don’t want to fight anybody that doesn’t want to fight me. I’m not a bully, and he doesn’t want to fight. I move on.” Sonnen, of course, was expecting to fight Silva following the conclusion of their stints as coaches on “The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 3.” Injuries delayed the matchup before it was scrapped entirely due to “issues related to Wanderlei Silva’s licensing in the state of Nevada,” according to UFC officials.

It was the biggest upset on this past Saturday’s TUF Brazil 3 Finale card, but a broken hand appeared to play a part. Soon after losing to underdog Robert Peralta (18-4 MMA, 4-1 UFC) in the night’s first FOX Sports 1-televised bout at Sao Paulo’s Ibirapuera Gymnasium, 3-1 favorite Rony Jason (14-5 MMA, 4-2 UFC) posted a few photos showing a broken hand. Jason, who suffered a split-decision loss (via peculiar scores of 29-28, 27-30, 30-27) in the featherweight bout, said he broke his left hand in the first round of the bout. (Watch the Peralta vs

BAD MMA News — Sun, 01 Jun 2014 22:34:42 +0000

Although MMA fans were on the back-end of a grueling UFC doubleheader by the time the TUF Brazil 3 Finale commenced, a few fighters were still able to capture viewers’ attention and deliver memorable performances. There were no shortages of finishes and breakthrough performances during Saturday’s FOX Sports 1-televised event Sao Paulo. With that in mind, here are the three stars from the TUF Brazil 3 Finale. * * * * Third Star: Marcos Rogerio de Lima De Lima (12-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) might not be knocking on the door of a heavyweight title shot in the immediate future, but if nothing else, he has a 20-second knockout win in his octagon debut to remember forever. In one of the first preliminary bouts of the night, de Lima scored the second-fastest knockout ever by a debuting UFC heavyweight with a stoppage of Richardson Moreira. It was a crushing finish and one that will provide the 28-year-old with another opportunity to display his talents on the world’s biggest stage.

Cramming two UFC events into one day? A memorable journey, but also a blur

It started at 10:30 a.m. here in the Mountain time zone. A bright May morning. Birds chirping, lawnmowers whirring, sprinklers sprinkling, and UFC Fight Pass blaring out a greeting all the way from Berlin, where the journey was just beginning. Roughly 12 hours later it was over, and yet I felt I had aged at least a year, maybe more

SAO PAULO – Aside from visiting Sao Paulo and returning home to spend some time with his family, Stipe Miocic said he doesn’t really have any immediate plans. As far as a possible rebooking with Junior dos Santos (16-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC), who was forced out of Saturday’s TUF Brazil 3 Finale headliner with a hand injury? Following his 35-second battering of replacement Fabio Maldonado (21-7 MMA, 4-4 UFC) on Saturday at the TUF Brazil 3 Finale, Miocic (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) isn’t thinking too far ahead. “If it happens, it happens,” said Miocic, who had a relatively easy night of work (watch the Miocic vs
