After KO loss, ex-UFC-champ Lyoto Machida says ‘giving up will never be an option’

BAD MMA News — Thu, 02 Nov 2017 20:01:16 +0000

Lyoto Machida ’s long-awaited octagon return may not have ended as planned, but it would appear “The Dragon” isn’t done just yet. Machida (22-8 MMA, 14-8 UFC) suffered the quickest loss of his career this past Saturday, at UFC Fight Night 119, at the hands of fellow headliner Derek Brunson (18-5 MMA, 9-3 UFC). The middleweight bout marked Machida’s return to competition after a layoff of 28 months – 18 due to a suspension issued by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). Four days after the event, the 39-year-old ex-champ took to social media to thanks his fans, saying that “yes, ‘The Dragon is back and giving up will never be an option.” “My biggest loss would be giving up the dream that once was my blessing,” Machida said. “An even bigger loss would be inspiring you not to go ahead when all you need to do is to keep your head up and go on.” Here’s the full message (via Instagram ): “I would like to thank all the support I’ve received from my fans! I’m home, with my family, recovering from a result that didn’t come, but with a sense of achievement, since anyone could have given up the idea of returning to the battlefield after almost 2 years away from the sports.

Why Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos was probably UFC Fight Night 119′s biggest winner

BAD MMA News — Wed, 01 Nov 2017 00:18:31 +0000

Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos left Ibirapuera Gymnasium on Saturday with a few reasons to celebrate: He got a win, a “Fight of the Night” bonus and the news that he’s going to be a father. The interesting bit, though: dos Santos (18-5 MMA, 4-1 UFC) didn’t get the news from the mother of his child; instead, he got it from his team. In fact, by the time he stood in front of reporters to discuss his unanimous-decision win over welterweight Max Griffin (13-4 MMA, 1-2 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 119 in Brazil, he hadn’t even had time to talk to her yet. How long had they known, you wonder? “I would like to know that too,” dos Santos said with a laugh after the FS2-televised preliminary-card bout. “But from what I heard, it’s been a week
