In battle of brothers, eldest Caros Fodor downs superhero sibling at WSOF 32

BAD MMA News — Sun, 31 Jul 2016 13:06:09 +0000

Filed under: Featured , News , Videos , WSOF EVERETT, Wash. – It was the kind of fight that raised eyebrows as well as questions almost as soon as it was announced, one that pit brother against brother in a professional MMA bout. But at WSOF 32 on Saturday, the two Fodor brothers ignored their family ties for the sake of their careers. As is so often the case in household scraps everywhere, it was the oldest who came out on top. Caros Fodor (11-5), 32, defeated his adopted brother Ben Fodor (6-2-1), 28, via unanimous decision after three grueling, emotionally charged rounds inside XFINITY Arena in Everett, Wash. In a fight that matched the technical expertise of the oldest against the raw physical ability of the youngest, technique won – even if it had to survive a few scary moments along the way

WSOF 32′s Alexandre Almeida: ‘They’re giving Palmer rematch because I’m not that famous in America’

BAD MMA News — Sat, 30 Jul 2016 15:45:03 +0000

Alexandre Almeida WSOF featherweight champion Alexandre Almeida certainly wasn’t excited when the promotion asked him to fight an immediate rematch against Lance Palmer . Why would he be? Only seven months ago, Almeida took the belt from the Team Alpha Male Product. It’s hard for the Brazilian not to be cynical about his promoter’s motivation for putting together a second fight with his American counterpart, who comes from a popular MMA camp and is slightly more well-known to stateside fans

Filed under: News , Videos , WSOF If you like a little soap-opera drama with your fisticuffs, tonight’s WSOF 32 event has you covered. The event, which airs on NBCSN from XFINITY Arena in Everett, Wash., features a bout between adoptive brothers: Ben Fodor (6-1-1) and Caros Fodor (10-5), who meet in a 168-pound catchweight bout. Their bad blood has become a matter of public record; earlier this month, they spoke to MMAjunkie about a falling out that resulted in Ben – perhaps best known by his “Phoenix Jones” amateur-crime-figher persona – leaving their shared AMC Pankration camp .

Fine with Josh Hill rematch at WSOF 32, champ Marlon Moraes predicts ‘fans will be the winners’

BAD MMA News — Fri, 29 Jul 2016 23:40:46 +0000

In Febuary 2015, champ Marlon Moraes overcame a shaky first round to dominate Josh Hill for the majority of their five-round WSOF title bout and take home a unanimous-decision win . Whether it was the glimpse of success against the dominant champ, or the four-fight winning streak that followed, Hill was granted a rematch. This Saturday, they meet again for the 135-pound belt. And though less than 18 months have elapsed, Moraes (16-4-1) is fine with giving Hill (14-1) the chance to avenge his sole career loss. “He did his homework,” Moraes told MMAjunkie. “He won the fights he had to win and has a strong name in WSOF

Lance Palmer plans finish of Alexandre Almeida at WSOF 32 – and to shut down trilogy talk

BAD MMA News — Fri, 29 Jul 2016 14:26:14 +0000

Filed under: Featured Videos , News , Videos , WSOF Lance Palmer knows he might be one of the world’s best featherweights thanks to the competition he goes up against every day at Team Alpha Male. But at the same time, none of that really matters to him. The gym is merely the gym, he says – and right now, all that matters is his Saturday rematch against WSOF 145-pound champion Alexandre Almeida – the man who took his title seven months ago in Las Vegas. Palmer (10-2) will try to recapture the belt he lost by unanimous decision when he meets Almeida (18-5) in the WSOF 32 main event, which takes place Saturday at Xfinity Arena in Everett, Wash., north of Seattle. The main card will air on NBCSN following prelims on MMAjunkie. Related: WSOF 21: Lance Palmer vs.
