BAD MMA News — Tue, 16 Jul 2024 12:55:13 +0000

Things didn’t go her way in her first UFC main event, but the next time Amanda Lemos got a chance to headline, she didn’t disappoint. Lemos stunned Marina Rodriguez in the UFC Fight Night 214 headliner in November 2022 for a third-round TKO. Nine months later, she had a women’s strawweight title shot. In the third, Lemos let her hands go early and stunned Rodriguez with a punch. Noticing her opponent didn’t react naturally, Lemos closed the distance and emptied the tank with punches until referee Jason Herzog pulled her off. Rodriguez never fell to the ground, but her body language as she covered up against the fence indicated she was out of her senses

BAD MMA News — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 22:22:56 +0000

LAS VEGAS – Mario Bautista impressed many in his most recent fight. The UFC bantamweight dismantled Benito Lopez in just one round at Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 214 . Bautista (11-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) submitted Lopez (10-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC) with a reverse triangle-armbar in the final seconds of the round after outclassing Lopez both on the feet and the ground. Bautista expected that kind of showing, and he got a big tell the day before at weigh-ins, where Lopez was 2.5 pounds over the limit. “I expected that,” Lopez told reporters afterward. “Once I saw him miss weight, I kind of put it in my head that he’s not professional

BAD MMA News — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 01:08:06 +0000

LAS VEGAS – Molly McCann currently is No 15 in the official UFC women’s flyweight rankings, and quite frankly that doesn’t sit well with Miranda Maverick .

UFC to review suspicious betting activity before Shayilan Nuerdanbieke’s win over Darrick Minner

BAD MMA News — Mon, 07 Nov 2022 15:48:21 +0000

The UFC announced Monday that it will review the situation after a U.S.-based betting integrity firm decided to investigate suspicious betting activity before Shayilan Nuerdanbieke ’s abrupt win over Darrick Minner at UFC Fight Night 214. Nuerdanbieke stopped Minner by first-round TKO this past Saturday after Minner threw a left kick and appeared to injure his leg. It was Nuerdanbieke’s first finish in four UFC fights. As surprising as the outcome may have been, it was the betting lines, which drastically changed just hours before the featherweight bout took place, that raised eyebrows. As rumors emerged that Minner was injured, Nuerdanbieke went from a -220 to -420 favorite. A lot of money came in on Nuerdanbieke winning by first-round TKO, which had sportsbooks suspicious of the unusual line change for such a low-level fight
