BAD MMA News — Wed, 08 Sep 2021 20:59:58 +0000

Darren Till is one of eight fighters facing a potential six-month medical suspension coming out of UFC Fight Night 191. Till, who was dominated before losing to Derek Brunson by third-round submission this past Saturday, must receive doctor’s clearance after having a facial CT scan before he can return to action otherwise he must sit out six months. This is according to medical suspensions handed out by the Nevada Athletic Commission and obtained through MixedMartialArts.com , the Association of Boxing Commission’s official record keeper. There is no mention of a knee injury after Till’s coach, Colin Heron, told ESPN that his fighter suffered a torn ACL roughly nine weeks ago but decided to fight anyway. Brunson, meanwhile, received a clean bill of health coming out of his fifth consecutive win and is required to sit out only a minimum of 21 days.

Derek Brunson wants to make Israel Adesanya ‘eat his words’ in UFC title rematch

BAD MMA News — Wed, 08 Sep 2021 01:18:42 +0000

Derek Brunson wants a rematch with Israel Adesanya so badly that he’s willing to go into enemy territory. Brunson (23-7 MMA, 14-5 UFC) earned his fifth consecutive victory since a humiliating first-round TKO loss to Adesanya at UFC 230 in November 2018 when he overwhelmed, shut down and submitted Darren Till (18-4-1 MMA, 6-4-1 UFC) in this past Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 191 main event in Las Vegas. The turnaround has been strong for Brunson in the three years since he shared the octagon with Adesanya (21-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC), and he’s made it clear all along the way that his goal is to get that rematch and redeem what he considers to be one of his worst performances. The fact that Adesanya became champion in the fallout of their fight just makes the possibility of a rematch sweeter. Brunson wants to run it back so badly with Adesanya, in fact, that he’s willing to go into enemy territory
