Video: Jon Jones learns of injury recovery timeline from Dana White, Hunter Campbell in new UFC docuseries

BAD MMA News — Sat, 08 Jun 2024 18:59:51 +0000

UFC CEO Dana White has always said that every time he steps out of bed in the morning, there’s something crazy and unexpected he’s forced to deal with behind the scenes. The company has a history of keeping much of that in private and from the public eye. It has been the case for the majority of UFC’s existence, but as time goes and access becomes more valuable, there’s been additional nuggets of footage that have been shared for the world to see. That’s perhaps never been more true than in the UFC’s new docuseries “Fight Inc: Inside the UFC,” which debuted June 7 on The Roku Channel, and it primarily follows many of the backstage happenings throughout the second half of 2023.

LAS VEGAS – Nazim Sadykhov and Viacheslav Borshchev turned in an instant classic Nov. 11 at UFC 295 in New York, but don’t expect them to run it back any time soon.

However, both fighters seem to want fresh matchups, at least in the immediate. “I don’t have an exclusive thing where I have to get this one back,” Sadykhov recently told MMA Junkie on the red carpet before the 15th Annual World MMA Awards at Sahara Theater

With five finishes on the pay-per-view main card, UFC 295 certainly made its case for Event of the Year.

And in the co-main event, Tom Aspinall won the interim heavyweight title with a first-round knockout of Sergei Pavlovic

Curtis Blaydes expected Tom Aspinall to beat Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 295 – but not like that

Curtis Blaydes thinks Sergei Pavlovich gave Tom Aspinall too much space to work. Aspinall (14-3 MMA, 7-1 UFC) knocked out Pavlovich (18-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) in 69 seconds to claim the interim heavyweight title at UFC 295 . Aspinall’s lone octagon loss came to Blaydes by TKO in July 2022, when his knee blew out just 15 seconds into the fight. Having fought both Aspinall and Pavlovich before, Blaydes (17-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC) picked Aspinall to win, but was surprised at the quick blitz through knockout artist Pavlovich.
