MMA Junkie’s 2022 Robbery of the Year: Paddy Pimblett def. Jared Gordon

BAD MMA News — Fri, 06 Jan 2023 22:53:48 +0000

There were a few questionable calls in 2022, but none stirred up more controversy than Paddy Pimblett ’s win over Jared Gordon , making it MMA Junkie’s Robbery of the Year. Pimblett (20-3 MMA, 4-0 UFC) faced Gordon in the UFC 282 co-main event – a big spot for Pimblett, who emerged as one of the biggest stars on the roster after just three fights. Although Pimblett impressed with three finishes and three bonuses, the one knock on his resume was his level of competition. Enter Gordon (19-6 MMA, 7-5 UFC), who many widely considered as his toughest test to date – and he absolutely proved to be. Although Gordon lost by unanimous decision , it was a scorecard that was heavily debated by Gordon himself, fellow fighters, media members , and fans. Round 1 was back and forth, with both men landing their shots

Michael Bisping advises Paddy Pimblett to ‘humble himself a little bit’

BAD MMA News — Wed, 04 Jan 2023 17:19:06 +0000

Michael Bisping isn’t too high on recent comments made by rising UFC star Paddy Pimblett . Pimblett (20-3 MMA, 4-0 UFC) is coming off a close decision win over Jared Gordon last month at UFC 282. Prior to his controversial win, Pimblett caught heat after revealing his viewpoint that he should be paid to do interviews – something Bisping disagrees with. Pimblett undoubtedly has been called out by an array of fighters but has refused to call anyone out himself in order to not give them clout. Bisping believes the upper echelon of the UFC lightweight division would not be gaining any extra traction if Pimblett mentioned their names and that “The Baddy” needs to tone down on the confidence until he puts on impressive performances against top-tier competition. “I think what Paddy needs to do is just humble himself a little bit,” Bisping said on his “Believe You Me” podcast.

Magomed Ankalaev aims to ramp up media presence since ‘to be a great fighter is not enough’

BAD MMA News — Fri, 30 Dec 2022 00:58:27 +0000

Magomed Ankalaev will look to increase his media presence in pursuit of another UFC title shot. Ankalaev (18-1-1 MMA, 9-1-1 UFC) failed to capture the vacant light heavyweight title when he battled Jan Blachowicz to a split draw in the UFC 282 main event – a fight he thought the judges robbed him of. Instead of getting to run things back with Blachowicz, both men were snubbed out of the title picture when the promotion opted to book Glover Teixeira and Jamahal Hill for the vacant belt in the UFC 283 headliner on Jan. 21. According to Ankalaev , the UFC has asked him to promote himself better and that’s what he plans on doing

Video: Jiri Prochazka, Leon Edwards and Alex Pereira claim UFC gold in 2022 with epic fifth-round comebacks

BAD MMA News — Sat, 24 Dec 2022 18:04:46 +0000

There were a number of UFC title changes over the past year, but three stood out from the bunch as the most dramatic. Only a handful of championship bouts in UFC history have ended in the fifth round, and 2022 provided perhaps the most memorable of them all as Jiri Prochazka , Leon Edwards and Alex Pereira all staged incredible come-from-behind wins to put gold around their waists. At UFC 274 in June, Prochazka (29-3-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) went tooth-and-nail with Glover Teixeira (33-8 MMA, 16-6 UFC) in one of the top Fight of the Year contenders. After coming close to being finished on multiple occasions, Prochazka dug deep in the final round and choked Teixeira into submission to become the new UFC light heavyweight champion. Just two months later at UFC 278 in August, Edwards (19-3 MMA, 11-2 UFC) was less than two minutes away from losing a clear-cut decision to Kamaru Usman (20-2 MMA, 15-1 UFC) in their welterweight title rematch. But then the head kick heard ’round the world unfolded, because Edwards landed the perfect combination to end Usman’s incredible winning streak inside the octagon and become just the second British titleholder in company history.

Jiri Prochazka was not impressed by Jan Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 282.

After five rounds of action, their fight was ruled a split draw , leaving the 205-pound title with no owner
