BAD MMA News — Mon, 07 Nov 2022 21:27:24 +0000

Julianna Pena has clapped back at Daniel Cormier for saying she doesn’t deserve a trilogy with Amanda Nunes. Peña (11-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC), who dethroned bantamweight champion Nunes with a stunning upset submission at UFC 269, lost their rematch at UFC 277 by decision. Although a bloodied-up Peña showed a lot of heart, she was battered for 25 minutes. On his “DC & RC” ESPN show, Cormier said Peña’s lopsided loss to Nunes (22-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) didn’t warrant an immediate rematch . But Peña begs to differ, taking a shot at the former UFC dual champion

Amanda Nunes says she wasn’t physically 100 percent going into her title fight with Julianna Pena . Nunes was submitted by Peña in the second round at UFC 269 in December, losing her bantamweight title in a shocking upset . After getting controlled in Round 1, Peña was able to pour it on Nunes, eventually getting her to the ground for the submission. But Nunes revealed that she didn’t enter the fight healthy, which she thinks is partially to blame for the outcome. “My whole camp for this fight was a mess,” Nunes told ESPN .

Cody Garbrandt is open to both flyweight and bantamweight after UFC 269.

Garbrandt hit the flyweight mark with no issues at weigh-ins and still potentially sees 125 pounds in his foreseeable future.

BAD MMA News — Wed, 22 Dec 2021 15:42:03 +0000

Adrian Yanez finds it hard to fully give Sean O’Malley credit for his recent performances. O’Malley notched yet another finish when he took Raulian Paiva out in the first round at UFC 269 and now finds himself in the promotion’s bantamweight rankings. Prior to his win over Paiva, O’Malley (15-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) restated his interest in fighting Yanez (15-3 MMA, 4-0 UFC), who already accepted his previous callout . Yanez said he wasn’t too surprised to see O’Malley score an early finish of Paiva, considering that the Brazilian has competed at flyweight on numerous occasions

BAD MMA News — Mon, 20 Dec 2021 23:19:44 +0000

BAD MMA News — Fri, 17 Dec 2021 23:32:24 +0000

John Kavanagh doesn’t think anyone should be discrediting UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira anymore. In his first title defense, Oliveira submitted Dustin Poirier in this past Saturday’s UFC 269 main event, rallying once again to score the finish. Oliveira (32-8 MMA, 20-8 UFC) has been questioned about his toughness by the likes of Justin Gaethje and others, but Kavanagh, Conor McGregor ’s head coach, thinks it’s about time people put respect on the champ’s name. “What is he now? Ten wins in a row, most of them being finishes,” Kavanagh told MMA Junkie. “His standup is getting sharp now.
