UFC Fight Night 86′s Igor Pokrajac on 2nd chance in UFC after ‘Cro Cop’ fever fades

BAD MMA News — Sun, 10 Apr 2016 00:43:47 +0000

Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos ZAGREB, Croatia – So, where has Igor Pokrajac been since MMA fans last saw him in the UFC’s octagon? Getting better, it turns out. The veteran UFC light heavyweight, who makes his return to the promotion Sunday at UFC Fight Night 86, said he went back to the drawing board after his release from the promotion in 2014. On the international circuit, he subsequently cranked out three wins, so he is obviously doing something right (or simply got the right matchups). “I changed my team,” Pokrajac (25-12 MMA, 4-7 UFC) told MMAjunkie.

Video: Watch Stipe Miocic overwhelm Mark Hunt in heavyweight headliner

BAD MMA News — Fri, 25 Dec 2015 22:38:54 +0000

Filed under: News , UFC , Videos Mark Hunt is one of the hardest hitters in the UFC’s heavyweight division, but it was his chin on display this past May, as Stipe Miocic absolutely overwhelmed him en route to a fifth-round finish. The contest served as the main event of UFC Fight Night 65, which took place on May 10 at Adelaide Entertainment Centre in Adelaide, Australia. Miocic has been on the shelf since, originally scheduled for an October bout with Ben Rothwell but then forced to withdraw die to injury. However, Miocic (13-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC) returns to action next week at UFC 195, where he takes on Andrei Arlovski (25-10 MMA, 14-4 UFC) in a key heavyweight affair that could very well determine the next challenger for the UFC’s heavyweight title. Miocic is currently ranked No.

BAD MMA News — Fri, 22 May 2015 13:08:26 +0000

Filed under: Featured Videos , News , Radio Highlight , UFC , Videos Affable as he is self-deprecating, UFC heavyweight Stipe Miocic jokes that a fan of his is “one of not many.” But in his heart and mind, a different message emerges, and that’s seen in the cage. Miocic (13-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC) is back in the win column with a brutal fourth-round TKO of onetime interim title challenger Mark Hunt on May 9 at UFC Fight Night 65, which follows a unanimous-decision loss to ex-champ Junior Dos Santos this past December. Miocic knows exactly what he wants next for his career: a fight with the winner of UFC 188’s headliner between champ Cain Velasquez (13-1 MMA, 11-1 UFC) and interim titleholder Fabricio Werdum (19-5-1 MMA, 7-2 UFC).
