BAD MMA News — Wed, 03 Mar 2021 04:12:16 +0000

Ciryl Gane ’s win over Jairzinho Rozenstruik could have been the “coming-out party” his boss might have been hoping for . But as it stands, Gane (8-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) did enough to outwork Rozenstruik (11-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) with ease in the UFC Fight Night 186 main event – a dominant unanimous decision on the scorecards, but nothing fancy. So just a week after Derrick Lewis picked up one of the biggest wins of his career at UFC Fight Night 185 with a knockout of Curtis Blaydes, where did Gane climb to in the heavyweight division? Plus, what kind of move did Magomed Ankalaev make at light heavyweight with his win over Nikita Krylov in the UFC Fight Night 186 co-main event

Video: Did Dana White go overboard in his criticism of Ciryl Gane after UFC Fight Night 186?

BAD MMA News — Wed, 03 Mar 2021 01:56:10 +0000

Never one to mince words, Dana White didn’t seem thrilled with Ciryl Gane ’s (8-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) win over Jairzinho Rozenstruik (11-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) this past Saturday. The UFC president told longtime MMA reporter Kevin Iole, “Everybody’s talking about Ciryl being this big contender, but look at what Francis Ngannou did to Jairzinho. This was his coming out party and his chance to show the world who he is. He won, but let’s leave it at that. He won.” The heavyweight title picture is fairly tied up at the moment.

LAS VEGAS – Pedro Munhoz and Jimmie Rivera put on a show Saturday night. The two bantamweights went toe-to-toe in an action-packed contest that earned “Fight of the Night” honors at UFC Fight Night 186. Munhoz (19-5 MMA, 9-5 UFC), who won the fight with a unanimous decision , was able to avenge a 2015 loss to Rivera (23-5 MMA, 7-4 UFC) in the rematch. Much of the talk afterward was on the calf kicks Munhoz peppered Rivera with throughout the fight. “The calf kick is something that hurts a lot – not only for the person that’s getting the kick, but also, it hurt me, too, because it’s shin to shin,” Munhoz said at the post-fight news conference. “It’s something that’s part of the arsenal of techniques that I’ve been displaying over the years
