Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos If you missed the UFC’s return to Mexico on Saturday, check out what really mattered at UFC Fight Night 78.

Neil Magny continued a busy (and successful) fight schedule, Erik Perez is starting to live up to early expectations, “The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America 2” tournament finals proved to be not-quite-ready-for-primetime TV, and some vets still turned in commendable efforts despite their losses. Check out the video above for more on the event.

The three stars of ‘UFC Fight Night 78: Magny vs. Gastelum’ in Mexico

BAD MMA News — Sun, 22 Nov 2015 23:21:31 +0000

Henry Cejudo The UFC plans to stage 41 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 26 fighters got the chance on Saturday as part of the FOX Sports 1-televised UFC Fight Night 78 event at Monterrey Arena in Monterrey, Mexico. Now that the event is in the books, it’s time to commence MMAjunkie’s “Three Stars” ceremony.

Feeling pressure on team of killers, UFC Fight Night 78′s Andre Fili wants to be on top

BAD MMA News — Sun, 22 Nov 2015 20:39:33 +0000

Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos MONTERREY, Mexico – When Andre Fili looks around at Team Alpha Male, he sees a bevy of UFC champions, former champs, superstars, veteran standouts and up-and-coming sensations. Eight months after his most recent fight, which was a disappointing submission loss to Godofredo Pepey in Brazil when he got caught with a flying triangle choke, Fili was desperate to get back in the win column because at this point, he needs to keep up with the Joneses. Or, more aptly, the Mendeses and Fabers. On Saturday at UFC Fight Night 78 at Monterrey Arena in Monterrey, Mexico, Fili (15-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) got back on track, and in a big way with a knockout win over Gabriel Benitez (18-5 MMA, 2-1 UFC). The finish came after a perfectly placed head kick for Fili.

Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos MONTERREY, Mexico – Sure, Diego Sanchez ’s debut fight at featherweight didn’t go as planned.

Kelvin Gastelum on narrow loss: Don’t take anything away from Neil Magny

BAD MMA News — Sun, 22 Nov 2015 13:34:33 +0000

Filed under: Featured , Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos MONTERREY, Mexico – Whether or not Kelvin Gastelum thought he deserved the win in Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 78 headliner, he doesn’t want anyone taking anything from his opponent. In the FOX Sports 1-televised main event at Monterrey Arena in Monterrey, Mexico, welterweight Neil Magny (17-4 MMA, 10-3 UFC) started strong and then survived late to top Gastelum (11-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) via split decision with scores of 47-48, 48-47 and 48-47. Magny, an honorable mention in the NOS Energy Drink MMA welterweight rankings , took the fight on short notice in place of injured Matt Brown and is now 9-1 over his past 10 fights. However, a pivotal fourth round – one in which Gastelum scored multiple knockdowns to make it a close fight – didn’t register any 10-8 scorecards, and that ultimately set up Magny’s win
