Jon Jones: Anderson Silva’s performance vs. Israel Adesanya ‘proves his greatness’

BAD MMA News — Sun, 24 Feb 2019 20:27:27 +0000

For a while, Jon Jones and Anderson Silva was the superfight. But like many fantasy matchups made for Silva, it never quite panned out. The then-middleweight kingpin called a move up to Jones’ division “pretentious.” Only (much) later did Silva admit that Jones, the future of the sport, would have beat him.

Chris Weidman doubles down on Israel Adesanya: ‘He wouldn’t have much of a chance against me’

BAD MMA News — Wed, 13 Feb 2019 19:53:38 +0000

Gallery Photos: Best of Israel Adesanya view 42 images Chris Weidman is not backing down from his opinion that Israel Adesanya is “overrated.” Weidman (14-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC) the former UFC middleweight champion, ruffled some feathers in the aftermath of this past weekend’s UFC 234 event when he called Adesanya (16-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) “a tad bit overrated” following his victory over Anderson Silva (34-9 MMA, 17-5 UFC) in the main event. Although Weidman is a former champion, his recent 1-4 slump inside the octagon has taken him out of title contention for the time being. Adesanya has made a quick rise into that territory, but Weidman doesn’t see it as warranted. Related Israel Adesanya urges UFC to strip Robert Whittaker, book title fight vs

2019 has the potential to be a breakthrough year for several members of the UFC roster – especially those who haven’t been with the organization all that long.

Devonte Smith’s reason for calling out Francisco Trinaldo at UFC 234 was very simple

BAD MMA News — Wed, 13 Feb 2019 05:34:55 +0000

MELBOURNE, Australia – Devonte Smith had a simple plan for UFC 234: Get in, get out, then call out his next opponent. The first part he achieved in under four minutes when he landed a combination of punches that sent Dong Hyun Ma (16-9-3 MMA, 3-3 UFC) crashing to the mat in the opening round of the lightweight fight. The second part he managed to accomplish in a post-fight monologue with a hilarious play-by-play of his work. Smith (9-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) wants to fight Francisco Trinaldo (23-6 MMA, 13-5 UFC), who stopped vet Evan Dunham with strikes in his most recent bout at UFC Fight Night 137 in September. The Brazilian vet has served as the gateway opponent for many top fighters at 155 pounds – and the glass ceiling for those who weren’t ready. Obviously Smith places himself in the former category.
