Trading Shots: Eyeing revenge fights and title shots, where can Bisping go from here?

BAD MMA News — Sun, 19 Jul 2015 23:43:09 +0000

Michael Bisping In this week’s Trading Shots, former WEC and UFC fighter Danny Downes joins MMAjunkie columnist Ben Fowlkes to discuss Michael Bisping’s split-decision win , and what’s to become of a man whose career has been so good for so long, without ever being truly great. Fowlkes: I know you didn’t think that Michael Bisping would just roll into Scotland, beat Thales Leites via split-decision, then limp out of there with his gross toe without saying anything inflammatory, Danny. At the post-fight press conference following UFC Fight Night 72, Bisping laid into former testosterone-replacement therapy users like Vitor Belfort and Dan Henderson (though mostly Vitor), calling for rematches on a “fair playing field.” On one hand, I see where he’s coming from. Bisping’s career has arguably been more affected than any other by his run-ins with TRT patients

The three stars of ‘UFC Fight Night 72: Bisping vs. Leites’ in Glasgow

BAD MMA News — Sun, 19 Jul 2015 19:08:38 +0000

The UFC plans to stage 45 events in 2015, and during that time, hundreds of fighters will enter and exit the octagon. While pre-fight hype is an enjoyable aspect of the sport, it’s ultimately the in-cage performances that speak most to fans. For the majority of fighters, the opportunity to present their skills to the world only comes along a few times per year. A total of 24 fighters got the chance on Saturday as part of UFC Fight Night 72 at SSE Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland. Now that the event is in the books, it’s time to commence MMAjunkie’s “Three Stars” ceremony. * * * * Michael Bisping Third Star: Michael Bisping Michael Bisping (27-7 MMA, 17-7 UFC) earned back-to-back UFC victories for the first time since 2011 when he outpointed Thales Leites (25-5 MMA, 10-4 UFC) for a split decision

Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos GLASGOW, Scotland – Now that Stevie Ray has found a little success – OK, a lot of early success – in the UFC, he can’t help but look back at a recent incident that could’ve kept him from the biggest performance of his career. On Saturday, Ray (18-5 MMA, 2-0 UFC) opened the main card of UFC Fight Night 72 in his native Scotland by taking out Leonardo Mafra (12-3 MMA, 1-2 UFC) with a TKO halfway through the first round . The finish earned him a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus and was his second stoppage win in the UFC. UFC Fight Night 72 took place at SSE Hydro in Glasgow as part of the UFC’s debut in Ray’s home country of Scotland. But it all could’ve never happened for “Braveheart” had a motorcycle spill during his fight camp been worse.
