Glover Teixeira couldn’t stay in UFC ‘just for the money,’ open to boxing against ‘a guy my age’

BAD MMA News — Tue, 14 Mar 2023 21:17:03 +0000

Glover Teixeira didn’t know for sure that UFC 283 in January was going to be his MMA retirement fight when he entered the octagon to face Jamahal Hill for the vacant light heavyweight title. By the time the contest was over, though, Teixeira (33-9 MMA, 16-7 UFC) was certain a significant chapter of his life had come to an end. His lopsided unanimous decision loss to Hill in front of his home country fans at Jeunesse Arena at Rio de Janeiro marked the final stop in a UFC Hall of Fame worthy run. It wasn’t only that Teixeira was beaten.

Brandon Moreno wants to defend UFC title vs. Alexandre Pantoja in Mexico: ‘The ideal scenario’

BAD MMA News — Wed, 01 Feb 2023 17:03:23 +0000

Flyweight champion Brandon Moreno wants to bring a UFC pay-per-view event to Mexico. Moreno is looking to make the first title defense of his second stint as champion on home soil and against a man he’s lost to before in Alexandre Pantoja . Moreno (21-6-2 MMA, 9-3-2 UFC) is hoping to be more active than he’s been in recent years, so ideally he’d like to return in the summer. However, if the UFC were to pay a visit to Mexico during their independence month of September, Moreno would be more than happy to wait.

The end of UFC’s first quadrilogy: Brandon Moreno reflects on historic Deiveson Figuiredo rivalry

BAD MMA News — Tue, 31 Jan 2023 14:47:49 +0000

Brandon Moreno has been through a lot with Deiveson Figueiredo. From surprising the combat sports world with a thrilling draw in a makeshift championship bout, to creating the biggest rivalry the UFC flyweight division has ever seen, Moreno and Figueiredo have been on one hell of a journey to become one of the main stories of the post-pandemic era in MMA. This month at UFC 283 in Brazil, Moreno (21-6-2 MMA, 9-3-2 UFC) ended the first quadrilogy in UFC history. He did so by stopping Figueiredo (21-3-1 MMA, 10-3-1 UFC) with a TKO to reclaim the UFC 125-pound title. It was a career-defining bout, as Moreno and Figueiredo were tied up 1-1-1. This championship contest was not only designed to crown the king of the division, but also define a winner of the rivalry – and maybe even more importantly, a loser, who would be put in a very difficult position in terms of future title contention.

Jamahal Hill wants to build toward future Jon Jones fight: ‘He’s the ultimate test’

BAD MMA News — Sun, 29 Jan 2023 23:30:11 +0000

Jamahal Hill admits a showdown with Jon Jones is on his bucket list for the future. Hill (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC), the newly crowned UFC light heavyweight champion, knows a meeting with Jones (26-1 MMA, 20-1 UFC) in the short-term is unrealistic, as they are in different places in their respective careers. Down the line, however, he certainly doesn’t rule it out. Jones was the longtime holder of the 205-pound belt currently in Hill’s possession.

UFC 283 ‘Fight Motion’: Watch Jamahal Hill’s bloody beating of Glover Teixeira in slow motion

BAD MMA News — Sun, 29 Jan 2023 19:50:09 +0000

The UFC’s first pay-per-view of 2023 was a memorable one, for all different reasons. UFC 283 , which took place Jan. 21 at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, marked the promotion’s return to Brazil after nearly three years. The card featured 10 stoppages out of 15 fights, two new champions crowned, and a pair of high-profile retirements from legends of the sport. In the main event, Jamahal Hill claimed the vacant light heavyweight belt with a lopsided beatdown of Glover Teixeira, who hung up the glover afterward. “Sweet Dreams” dished out a divisional record 232 significant strikes, and badly busted up Teixeira’s face in the process.
