BAD MMA News — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 00:47:19 +0000

UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre and Johny Hendricks will not meet in October as originally anticipated.

UFC president Dana White confirmed the November timeframe and Las Vegas location following the UFC 161: Evans vs. Henderson media day in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, on Thursday. Hendricks (15-1) solidified his slot as the clear No. 1 welterweight contender by defeating former interim titleholder Carlos Condit at UFC 158 in March. Hendricks is currently riding a six-fight winning streak. St-Pierre (24-2) last defended his title on the same UFC 158 fight card, defeating Nick Diaz in one-sided fashion. The champion is on an 11-fight winning streak.

Former UFC 161 headliner Eddie Wineland hoping for best case in Barao recovery

BAD MMA News — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 05:15:00 +0000

WINNIPEG – Eddie Wineland ‘s new mustache should’ve been in full effect this week, on display for Canada – and the world – to see. Instead, he’s at home, on his stomach on a tattoo table for two straight days, getting his back inked. But the newly handlebar mustachioed bantamweight wants it known he isn’t going anywhere. And when UFC interim champion Renan Barao (30-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC) is able to return, Wineland (20-8-1 MMA, 2-2 UFC) wants the title shot he was supposed to have on Saturday at UFC 161. UFC 161 takes place at MTS Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, and Wineland was set to headline the pay-per-view card in an interim title bout against Barao – until a Barao foot injury knocked him off the show this past month. Instead, former light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans takes the lead against ex-PRIDE titleholder Dan Henderson . “It just sucked a lot (hearing about the injury),” Wineland told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “I finally get my big shot, and he has an unfortunate injury.

UFC 161′s Roland Delorme on Figueroa: ‘What he’s really bad at, I’m good at’

BAD MMA News — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 04:15:00 +0000

After nearly a year on the bench due to surgery on his arm, Roland Delorme returns to the cage to meet Edwin Figueroa at UFC 161. He already believes it’s a matchup that’s tailor-made. “I’ve seen all his fights in the UFC,” Delorme (8-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “There’s no secret that his ground game is not that good. He doesn’t defend the takedown very well. And that’s what I’m good at. What he’s really bad at, I’m good at.” It’s not that Delorme thinks Figueroa (9-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC) has no skills on the ground, but rather bad habits that could make his job easier when they meet on the FX-televised prelims of the pay-per-view event, which takes place Saturday at MTS Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. “He gives his back a lot,” Delorme said of Figueroa.
