UFC fighters react to Amanda Nunes’ domination of Irene Aldana, retirement

BAD MMA News — Sun, 11 Jun 2023 05:48:37 +0000

GOAT Amanda Nunes stepped into the Octagon to defend not only her bantamweight title but her GOAT status as well. And she did just that. Nunes landed strike after strike with very little coming back from Irene Aldana, which seemed, unlike the fan favorite. Unfortunately, the fans and fighters alike were not all that impressed with Aldana, and it showed. Here’s how UFC fighters reacted to the performance https://twitter.com/bullyb170/status/1667754368303603717?s=20 https://twitter.com/DerekBrunson/status/1667753654890184704?s=20 https://twitter.com/funkmasterMMA/status/1667753472383651840?s=20 https://twitter.com/thebigticket205/status/1667752745552543744?s=20 https://twitter.com/RockyPMMA/status/1667750444511158272?s=20 https://twitter.com/CharlesRosaMMA/status/1667749451899846656?s=20 https://twitter.com/BelizeanBruiser/status/1667754415154163713?s=20 https://twitter.com/RockyPMMA/status/1667755141917802498?s=20 https://twitter.com/bullyb170/status/1667755118282850304?s=20 https://twitter.com/bullyb170/status/1667755449632866305?s=20 https://twitter.com/SugaSeanMMA/status/1667755652415107072?s=20 https://twitter.com/Super_Sodiq/status/1667756541016002564?s=20 The fight ended up going the full five rounds, with Nunes topping the judge’s scorecards

BAD MMA News — Sun, 11 Jun 2023 04:33:10 +0000

It didn’t take long for Charles Oliveira to remind everyone why he is one of the scariest lightweights in the UFC. The beginning of the end was a massive head kick and then vicious ground and pound. Dariush had no answers to Oliveira’s power. With just under a minute left in the first round, Oliveira found the finish, making history by holding the most finishes in UFC history (20). https://twitter.com/ufc/status/1667745339489517568?s=20 Oliveira, the former champion, was stepping back into the Octagon for the first time since his loss to the current champion, Islam Makhachev.

UFC fighters react to barnburner between Mackenzie Dern and Angela Hill

Well, that was unexpected. Many people thought the main event of UFC Vegas 73 would be a grappler’s quick finish, but instead, the grappler turned into a striker and we got an incredible WMMA bout.

On Saturday the UFC returns home to the UFC APEX to host a fight night card headlined by Mackenzie Dern and Angela Hill. The headliner was moved from UFC Charlotte one week due to the original main event being split to fill in for a PPV main event. On Friday the fighters weighed in at the Santa Fe Casino ahead of their bouts.

The UFC hosts a fight night from Charlotte, NC on Saturday, returning to the state for the first time in many years. The main event is headlined by a heavyweight fight between Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Jailton Almeida. But before anyone could fight, they first had to make weight. One fight was canceled mid-weigh-ins when it was announced that the fight between Natan Levy and Pete Rodriguez was canceled due to “weight management” issues on Rodriguez’s side.

Dana White threatens to ‘f*cking attack’ media who ‘instigate’ drama between fighters

BAD MMA News — Mon, 10 Apr 2023 20:34:19 +0000

Dana White is not playing. On Saturday night White gave a stern warning to the media who were asking questions about the alternations between Kevin Holland and Jorge Masvidal. “Well, the reason why I don’t want you guys talking about other fights is, guys, we’re f*cking two days before a fight. (Holland’s) not fighting Jorge Masvidal,” White told reporters at the UFC 287 post-fight press conference (h/t MMA Junkie ). “Whatever they got into, whatever – first of all, it creates sh*t backstage and at the hotels, right? When you guys ask them questions like that and they say something, we’ve still got two days until the fight and these guys run into each other backstage and everywhere else, and it’s so disrespectful to their opponent.” This is a follow-up to his warning at the UFC 287 press conference where he told fighters not to answer those types of questions from the media

Jorge Masvidal hints that UFC 287 could be his last fight

BAD MMA News — Mon, 03 Apr 2023 19:24:05 +0000

UFC 287 could be pivotal for the career of Jorge Masvidal. “This could be the last one,” Masvidal said during the UFC 287 “Countdown” episode . “If I lose, I’m pretty much calling it quits. But a win against Gilbert means that things are headed in the right direction. So if I roll the dice and do everything right, I’m going for it all.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u3LshdmQjI Masvidal shot to stardom after his five-second KO of Ben Askren in 2019 but he has been a staple of the UFC since 2013 and Strikeforce before that.

Holly Holm Speaks Out Against The Sexualization of Children

BAD MMA News — Tue, 28 Mar 2023 10:25:10 +0000

When former bantamweight champion Holly Holm returned to the Octagon and defeated Yana Santos, she took the time on the mic to call for America to “protect the children.” So of course when she arrived at the post-fight presser, she was asked to elaborate on those thoughts. “I don’t ever want to be um, [I’m] not like a real political person. I don’t like to put that stuff on any of my social media or because I think there’s just, but there’s also just right and wrong and I feel like everybody should be on the same side on that,” she said.
