Filed under: Featured , News , UFC , Videos Cub Swanson is on a pretty stellar run right now with four straight featherweight wins. It’s been so solid, in fact, that when champ Max Holloway lost Frankie Edgar as his UFC 218 opponent and got Jose Aldo as a replacement, there was a fairly significant outcry that Swanson should’ve been given the title shot, instead. But he was kept in his spot headlining Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 123, which takes place at Save Mart Center in Fresno, Calif

Ahead of UFC 194, relive the night Chris Weidman shocked the world

BAD MMA News — Mon, 07 Dec 2015 16:47:21 +0000

Filed under: News , UFC Two-and-a-half years is a long time for a memory to remain, so it may be difficult to think back to just how shocking Chris Weidman ’s UFC 162 win over Anderson Silva truly was. Take yourself back to that moment. It was July 2013, and Weidman – like everyone else at the time – was an underdog heading into his meeting with “The Spider.” But Weidman brought with him an incredibly unwavering confidence, and nothing Silva could do inside the cage deterred that belief. And so Weidman stood firm in the face of the man many consider the greatest ever, and he delivered a stunning second-round knockout to claim the UFC middleweight title. At Saturday’s UFC 194 event, Weidman (13-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC) faces Luke Rockhold (14-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC) in hopes of securing his fourth consecutive defense of the belt

On Sunday, “UFC Fight Flashback” makes its debut on FOX Sports 1. According to the cable network, the show will be “an enhanced replay of one of the sport’s greatest bouts.” And for the premier, the obvious choice was a look back at UFC 162 .

Video: Anderson Silva talks respect for GSP and UFC’s best fighter – Jon Jones

BAD MMA News — Thu, 19 Dec 2013 18:36:13 +0000

If Anderson Silva ever considered himself the UFC’s best fighter, he doesn’t any longer. Chris Weidman ended that in July, and even if the often outwardly humble Silva ever admitted he was the UFC’s best during his long reign as middleweight champion, his loss to Weidman now has him believing someone else is the world’s best: light heavyweight champion Jon Jones . Silva (33-5 MMA, 16-1 UFC) could start the argument anew over who the world’s top pound-for-pound fighter is, though, with a win over Weidman (10-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) when they rematch next week at UFC 168 , which takes place Dec. 28 on pay-per-view from Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena. But it was Jones’ win over Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 165 in September that has Silva believing he’s the best in the world. “Jon Jones keeps going up and up and up,” Silva recently said in Los Angeles.
