BAD MMA News — Thu, 18 Aug 2016 02:50:37 +0000

UFC bantamweight slugger Francisco Rivera has been notified of a potential UFC anti-doping policy violation stemming from an out-of-competition sample collected on July 23. UFC officials today announced the finding after being informed of the result by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. “USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of this case,” the statement read. “It is important to note that, under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, there is a full and fair review process that is afforded to all athletes before any sanctions are imposed. Additional information will be provided at the appropriate time as the process moves forward.” First violations under the UFC anti-doping policy typically carry a standard sanction of two years, though Rivera (11-7 MMA, 4-6 UFC) can first contest the finding.

BAD MMA News — Thu, 04 Aug 2016 13:50:28 +0000

Filed under: Featured , News , UFC If both sides get their desired fight, newly minted UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley will be the underdog to ex-titleholder Georges St-Pierre . At least according to the opening odds. On Wednesday Bovada sportsbook set the opening line for the potential bout. St-Pierre (23-2 MMA 19-2 UFC), who hasn’t fought since vacating his belt and walking away from the sport in 2013, is a -150 favorite over +120 underdog Woodley. As of this morning, the line hadn’t changed. At those current odds, a winning $100 bet on St-Pierre would result in a net profit of $66.67.

Having saved job, UFC 201 winner Jake Ellenberger welcomes Jorge Masvidal fight

BAD MMA News — Tue, 02 Aug 2016 18:00:52 +0000

Filed under: Featured , Featured Videos , News , Radio Highlight , UFC , Videos UFC welterweight Jake Ellenberger welcomed a fight with Jorge Masvidal after their winning efforts at this past Saturday’s UFC 201. Masvidal (30-11 MMA, 7-4 UFC), who outpointed Ross Pearson (29-12 MMA, 6-5 UFC) to snap a two-fight skid on the FS2 prelims at Philips Arena in Atlanta, said he wanted to face Matt Brown (20-15 MMA, 13-9 UFC) over Ellenberger (31-11 MMA, 9-8 UFC) because “he’s (mean-mugging) wherever he goes; I just want to show him he’s not as tough as he thinks he is.” But then Ellenberger stopped Brown with a kick to the body on the pay-per-view main card, in the process halting a 1-5 skid that most certainly would have led to a pink slip had the fight gone the other way. Ellenberger on Monday told MMAjunkie Radio he was watching the Masvidal vs. Pearson fight and liked what he saw. “He’s tough,” Ellenberger said of Masvidal. “He’s got some skills.
