UFC Fight Night 194 free fight: Marina Rodriguez outboxes Michelle Waterson in five-round battle

BAD MMA News — Wed, 06 Oct 2021 12:43:54 +0000

Marina Rodriguez emerged as a strawweight contender in her first UFC main event. Rodriguez faced former Invicta FC champion Michelle Waterson in a flyweight bout, which headlined UFC on ESPN 24 in May. Fresh off her upset knockout win over Amanda Ribas, Rodriguez showed off her power early by landing a few solid shots to the chin of Waterson. “The Karate Hottie” used an array of kicks ranging from low to side kicks to keep Rodriguez at bay, but the power difference was evident in the first two rounds. Rodriguez ramped up the aggression in Round 3, backing Waterson against the cage with a barrage of punches. Waterson fired back with some hard leg kicks, but she was bloodied and battered by the end of the round.

BAD MMA News — Mon, 10 May 2021 23:49:05 +0000

It’ll be do-or-die for Donald Cerrone ’s UFC career the next time he steps in the octagon. Cerrone (36-16 MMA, 23-13 UFC), the all-time UFC record-holder for wins, is coming off an ugly stretch of results at 0-5 with one no contest in his past six. It’s led to many to question whether “Cowboy” still has a future with the promotion, but it appears he will for at least one more fight.

BAD MMA News — Sun, 09 May 2021 23:08:05 +0000

LAS VEGAS – Neil Magny won’t hold his breath for a booking with Khamzat Chimaev. The welterweight is looking for big opportunities following his most recent win at UFC on ESPN 24, but the timing has to make sense.

Mick Maynard’s Shoes: What’s next for Marina Rodriguez after UFC on ESPN 24 win?

BAD MMA News — Sun, 09 May 2021 20:54:22 +0000

Marina Rodriguez took advantage of her first octagon main event Saturday when she largely had her way with Michelle Waterson at UFC on ESPN 24 . Both fighters stepped up on short notice to headline the card at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas after the original top bout between T.J. Dillashaw and Cory Sandhagen fell off. There wasn’t as much anticipation around the replacement, but Rodriguez (15-1-2 MMA, 4-1-2 UFC) attempted to maximize her platform against Waterson (18-9 MMA, 6-5 UFC). After a treacherous travel journey from Brazil, Rodriguez showed up and outworked Waterson over the course of five rounds to win a clear-cut unanimous decision . She’s lost just once in 18 career fights at this point, and is looking more and more like a real contender in the strawweight division
