As UFC President Dana White recently made clear, and disclosed payouts for Saturday’s UFC 162 show, it’s the guys who win the fights, sell the tickets and get people talking that reap the biggest rewards. Top-five pay-per-view draw and middleweight champ Anderson Silva (33-4 MMA, 16-0 UFC), who recently inked a new 10-fight contract with the UFC, will bank a guaranteed $600,000 for fighting challenger Chris Weidman (9-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC), according to figures from the Nevada State Athletic Commission. Silva, 38, stands to earn an additional $200,000 by defending his title an 11th time, which would add to his UFC record. The 29-year-old Weidman, meanwhile, is guaranteed $24,000 and an additional $24,000 if he makes history by taking the belt.

Anderson Silva: “I’ve Already Done Everything There is To Do”

BAD MMA News — Thu, 04 Jul 2013 15:00:25 +0000

UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva has accomplished everything there is to accomplish in mixed martial arts. He has raised the bar and made us redefine what is considered greatness. He has become the standard that all future fighters will be compared to and ultimately judged by. Silva (33-4) puts his undefeated UFC record and middleweight title on the line on Saturday against challenger Chris Weidman (9-0), but to Silva it’s just another fight. “A fight is a fight, and this is another fight,” said Silva on a recent media conference call. The 38-year-old Brazilian superstar has nothing left to prove and fights because it’s what he loves to do. “Whatever I should have already done in the sport I’ve done. Win or lose, I’ve already done everything there is to do and now it’s just a matter of doing what I love to do,” he said.

UFC on FUEL TV 10 a night of records, including eight submissions

BAD MMA News — Sun, 09 Jun 2013 10:00:00 +0000

Leave it to Brazil to set a record for submissions. It’s completely appropriate. Saturday’s UFC on FUEL TV 10 card set a new UFC record with eight submissions in 12 fights – and tied a promotional record with 10 total stoppages. The show took place in, of course, the cradle of Brazilian jiu-jitsu. UFC on FUEL TV 10 took place at Paulo Sarasate Arena in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil. The main card aired on FUEL TV following prelims on Facebook. Apart from the eight submissions, there were a pair of knockouts and just two decisions. But it was the tapouts that everyone was talking about

BAD MMA News — Sun, 09 Jun 2013 06:40:00 +0000

FORTALEZA, BRAZIL – Leonardo Santos has come a long way since a loss to Takanori Gomi in his MMA debut 11 years ago. On Saturday, Santos became the latest winner of Brazil’s version of “The Ultimate Fighter” – at 33 years old – when he submitted William Macario with a second-round arm-triangle choke. The welterweight bout was the co-main event of today’s UFC on FUEL TV 10 event at Paulo Sarasate Arena in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil. It aired on FUEL TV following prelims on Facebook. Santos, a teammate at Nova Uniao of UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo, helped set a UFC record with the submission – it was the seventh on the card. After the win, Santos jumped into the crowd to find Aldo, who was moved to tears by his friend and teammate’s victory

UFC on FUEL TV 10 results: Submissions continue as Erick Silva taps Jason High

BAD MMA News — Sun, 09 Jun 2013 05:10:00 +0000

FORTALEZA, BRAZIL – Why a rash of submissions in the cradle of jiu-jitsu would come as a surprise is anyone’s guess, but Erick Silva wanted to make sure he didn’t miss the party. In the night’s ninth fight, Silva scored the card’s sixth submission with an armbar stoppage of Jason High just 71 seconds into the bout. The sixth submission of the card tied a UFC record. The welterweight bout was part of today’s UFC on FUEL TV 10 event at Paulo Sarasate Arena in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil. It aired on FUEL TV following prelims on Facebook. Standout wrestler High went for a takedown quickly in the first round. But Silva sprawled his way out of it and after a furious ground scramble, he was able to wrap around to take High’s back. Silva looked like he might go after a triangle choke from High’s back, and High tried to power out of it by getting back to all fours.
