That’s not too far off what welterweight Danny Roberts (16-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC) had to deal with at UFC Fight Night 134 this past weekend in Hamburg, Germany. Roberts (16-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC) had gone through a full training camp at Hard Knocks 365 in Florida, preparing studiously for a bout with fellow hard-hitting welterweight Alan Jouban

BAD MMA News — Tue, 24 Jul 2018 02:52:30 +0000

UFC Hamburg winner Anthony Smith ’s rapid rise up the rankings may seem somewhat surprising. After all, with 10 years of professional fighting and more than 40 appearances under his belt, it seems odd to consider that he may just now be hitting his stride. But you can bet one thing is certain: Smith (30-13 MMA, 6-3 UFC) isn’t shocked at all.

BAD MMA News — Tue, 24 Jul 2018 01:38:47 +0000

Since the early days when the sport was anything but a mainstream endeavor, the MMA industry has thrived and survived through various websites, forums, and – perhaps most importantly – social-media platforms. Fighters interact with fans, each other and many more through the likes of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, which helps outsiders get a deeper look into the minds of the athletes. Following Sunday’s UFC Fight Night 134 in Hamburg several of the winning and losing fighters, along with their coaches, training partners or family members, took to social media to react to the event or share a message with supporters

The longest winning streak in the storied UFC career of Mauricio Rua came to a sudden halt on Sunday when he lost to Anthony Smith in the UFC Fight Night 134 main event. The former UFC light heavyweight titleholder Rua (25-11 MMA 9-9 UFC) was brutally knocked out by Smith (30-13 MMA, 6-3 UFC) just 89 seconds into their headlining matchup, which took place at Barclaycard Arena in Hamburg and aired on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass. With the result came some questions about the Brazilian’s future. Related Sean Shelby's Shoes: Who's next for Anthony Smith and UFC Fight Night 134's other winning fighters?

Teixeira (27-7 MMA, 10-5 UFC) dropped a unanimous decision to Corey Anderson (11-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) on Sunday at UFC Fight Night 134 for what was his second octagon defeat to someone who hasn’t held or challenged for a UFC title. It was a lopsided affair, and the Brazilian was highly frustrated afterward. Typically Teixeira has answers for himself after falling short of his desired result.

Anthony Smith calls Alexander Gustafsson injury ‘mighty ironic,’ weighs options after UFC Hamburg

Gallery Anthony Smith def. Mauricio Rua at UFC Fight Night 134: Best photos view 10 images Anthony Smith is “ready to navigate this whole mess” in the UFC light heavyweight division following an impressive knockout win over Mauricio Rua at UFC Fight Night 134. In the immediate aftermath of Smith’s (30-13 MMA, 6-3 UFC) 89-second finish of Rua (25-11 MMA, 9-9 UFC) in Sunday’s main event, Smith decided to call out Alexander Gustafsson , who was thought to be seeking a noteworthy replacement opponent for UFC 227 next month. Smith’s big challenge was squandered within minutes, though, after MMAjunkie first reported that Gustafsson (18-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC) withdrew from the Aug. 4 event at Staples Center in Los Angeles because of a “minor injury.” Related Twitter reacts to Anthony Smith's 89-second KO of 'Shogun' Rua at UFC Fight Night 134 It wasn’t until Smith, 29, arrived at the UFC Fight Night 134 post-event news conference that he caught wind of Gustafsson’s withdrawal, and at that point he provided an instant reaction.
