RIO DE JANEIRO – Although he was billed as a “Korean Zombie” who could withstand an inordinate amount of damage, even Chan Sung Jung couldn’t fight through an injured shoulder. Jung (13-4 MMA, 3-1 UFC), a title challenger well known for his past durability, became easy prey for UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo (23-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC) once the injury occurred in the fourth round. The title fight headline Saturday’s UFC 163 pay-per-view event at Rio de Janeiro’s HSBC Arena. Jung, an injury replacement for Anthony Pettis, entered the five-round fight as a significant underdog and following a 15-month layoff due to injuries.

After near-upset of Rousey, UFC on FOX 8′s Liz Carmouche adjusts to her new life

BAD MMA News — Tue, 16 Jul 2013 21:45:00 +0000

There were a couple things people thought they knew for sure when Liz Carmouche faced Ronda Rousey in the UFC’s first women’s bout at UFC 157 in February. One was that Carmouche stood absolutely no chance against Rousey, who entered the fight as a 12-1 favorite over the little-known underdog from San Diego. The other was that no matter how the fight turned out, it was a historic event that would change both women’s lives forever. At least one of those predictions turned out to be true, in a way. These days Carmouche isn’t exactly a superstar.

After one dominant champ’s loss, UFC 165′s Gustafsson says Jones only human

BAD MMA News — Wed, 10 Jul 2013 01:45:00 +0000

Alexander Gustafsson (14-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) is a sizable underdog heading into his fight with light-heavyweight champ Jon Jones (18-1 MMA, 12-1 UFC), who is as high as an 8-to-1 favorite to retain his belt when they meet at UFC 165 in September. Gustafsson, though, isn’t one to be fazed by other’s expectations, and given this past weekend’s shakeup in the MMA world, he’s all the more sure that no matter what betting lines say, any fighter has a chance to buck the odds. “We’re all human beings,” he told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “Everyone is beatable, and I’m here to prove everyone wrong, and that’s how it’s going to be.” At the start of this year, the 26-year-old fighter still had distance to travel in the light heavyweight division’s standings.

UFC 162 headliner Chris Weidman motivated by new fan in GSP, longtime fan in dad

BAD MMA News — Thu, 04 Jul 2013 05:10:00 +0000

If Chris Weidman is going to do what no one else in the UFC has been able to do, he’ll have two supporters looking in closely – on opposite ends of the fan spectrum. Weidman (9-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) on Saturday challenges Anderson Silva (33-4 MMA, 16-0 UFC) for the UFC middleweight title in the UFC 162 main event at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Weidman is about a 2-to-1 underdog, but many believe he has a better chance to take Silva’s title than anyone before him. One of those who like his chances is a new fan – none other than UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre . He is so confident in Weidman pulling the upset that he moved forward with preparations for Johny Hendricks rather than holding out hope Silva will defend his title and set up a long-discussed superfight against St-Pierre
