After finishing ‘tougher than expected’ Justin Scoggins, Ulka Sasaki wants Ray Borg next

BAD MMA News — Sun, 18 Jun 2017 19:45:10 +0000

Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos SINGAPORE – In the UFC’s game of inches, a winning strategy can start taking effect even before the fighters step onto the octagon. For flyweight Ulka Sasaki (20-4-2 MMA, 3-3 UFC), who finished Justin Scoggins (11-4 MMA, 4-4 UFC) in the second round of their UFC Fight Night 111 encounter on Saturday, it started at their heated face-off the day before. “Because I was very aggressive at the weigh-ins, that’s why I think I made Justin very aggressive at the beginning of the fight,” Sasaki said through a translator after their preliminary card affair at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore. “So everything worked out for me.” Happy ending aside, it wasn’t smooth sailing for the Japanese fighter, who had to navigate some solid offense by Scoggins’ before the American’s own risk-taking style backfired. Eventually, though, Sasaki was able to sink in the same rear-naked choke that had brought all of his previous UFC wins. While Sasaki was able to weather the storm, and walked away with a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus in the process, he admits to having been surprised by what his opponent brought to the table

After controversial debut loss, Lucie Pudilova happy with recovery display at UFC Fight Night 111

BAD MMA News — Sun, 18 Jun 2017 19:45:10 +0000

Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos SINGAPORE – After a controversial loss in her UFC debut, Lucie Pudilova finally got a taste of octagon victory this Saturday. Pudilova was UFC Fight Night 111’s first victor, narrowly beating Ji Yeon Kim to earn an unanimous nod on the judges’ scorecards. The win meant recovery from a UFC Fight Night 107 setback to Lina Lansberg – which, despite the across-the-board 29-28 scorecards, had a bloodied-up Lansberg declaring Pudilova the winner. While her submission attacks weren’t able to seal the deal against Kim, the bantamweight was “really very happy” with a display that intended to showcase a specific part of her arsenal. “It’s great to be here and to win,” Pudilova said through a translator after the preliminary card fight, which streamed on UFC Fight Pass.

UFC Fight Night 111 winner Alex Caceres drops wisdom, talks ‘disheartening’ end to scrap

BAD MMA News — Sun, 18 Jun 2017 17:02:46 +0000

Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos SINGAPORE – Alex Caceres isn’t entirely satisfied with the circumstances of his UFC Fight Night 111 fight but, hey, he’ll take it. Caceres (13-10 MMA, 8-8 UFC) was originally set to face UFC newcomer Wang Guan on Saturday, but ended up welcoming Filipino fighter Rolando Dy (8-5-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) to the octagon instead. It took a doctor declaring Dy unfit to continue for the scrap to be stopped before the start of the third round, but Caceres had asserted plenty of dominance by then. The opponent switch may have ended up in Caceres’ favor, but the featherweight saw it two ways. “I was disappointed that they switched out my original opponent,” Caceres told reporters after the preliminary card bout at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore, which streamed on UFC Fight Pass.

UFC Fight Night 111′s Jon Tuck isn’t ready to say Takanori Gomi should retire

Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos SINGAPORE – UFC lightweight Jon Tuck just handed former PRIDE champ Takanori Gomi his fourth straight octagon loss. At 38, Gomi is running out of chances to right his storied career. But Tuck doesn’t think the legend should be pressured into retiring. “I wouldn’t say he should hang up his gloves, because I know what kind of fighter I am, without sounding like I’m cocky,” said Tuck (10-4 MMA, 4-4 UFC), who submitted Gomi (35-13 MMA, 4-8 UFC) in the first round of their UFC Fight Pass-streamed bout at UFC Fight Night 111. “I know that I belong in the top – it’s just me being able to prove it in the octagon. He’s got a wealth of experience.” UFC Fight Night 111 took place Saturday at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore

UFC Fight Night 111′s Walt Harris would call someone out – if he could remember anybody

BAD MMA News — Sat, 17 Jun 2017 21:51:40 +0000

Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos SINGAPORE – It’s tough to transition from fighting in the cage to being your own agent, especially if you haven’t planned out your next step in advance. Just ask UFC heavyweight Walt Harris (9-5 MMA, 2-4 UFC), who was so pleased with his quick pound-out of Cyril Asker (8-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 111, his name went blank on potential future opponents. “I’m down to fight anybody,” he told MMAjunkie backstage at Singapore Indoor Stadium, which hosted the UFC Fight Pass-streamed event. “I’m not going to call any names right now, because I honestly can’t remember anybody offhand. “But anybody, man.
