Dhiego Lima believes he’s one or two fights away from a UFC contract, and until he gets one, he’s signing single-bout contracts so he doesn’t miss an opportunity to join MMA’s biggest promotion.

BAD MMA News — Tue, 06 Aug 2013 17:30:33 +0000

While the first half of 2013 was at times chaotic for lightweight up-and-comer “Notorious” Nick Newell , he’s looking to finish the year strong. Following an acrimonious split with the XFC , where he was their reigning 155-pound champion, Newell signed with the World Series of Fighting, and after an eight-month layoff, he’s ready to return to the fight game. “Staying in the gym is the best way for me to deal with anything that comes my way,” said Newell. “I made a move that was best for my career and I’m happy I made it. “I don’t really let outside factors affect how I fight

Video: WSOF 4′s Keon Caldwell says Nick Newell bout not a lose-lose situation

BAD MMA News — Fri, 19 Jul 2013 23:30:00 +0000

Keon Caldwell believes there’s a common misconception about fighter Nick Newell : fighting him is a lose-lose situation. The argument, it goes, is that defeating a one-handed MMA fighter like Newell doesn’t earn you much credibility, and losing to him can be an incredibly embarrassing setback. But Caldwell (9-1), who meets Newell in a main-card lightweight bout next month at World Series of Fighting 4, doesn’t see it that way at all. Newell (9-0), a former XFC fighter, is 9-0 with eight first-round stoppages, including six via submission. He’s no longer the “the fighter with one hand” so much as he is a legit prospect with proven stopping ability. “He’s a man just like we are, but he’s taken it to the another level with how he is,” Caldwell told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio).
