BAD MMA News — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 00:13:46 +0000

Although he’s not afraid to throw hands with anybody, Jorge Masvidal did have a name in mind when asked which of his opponents scared him the most. ‘Gamebred’ was in the public eye for years before he was ever considered one of the best in the world inside the cage. Throughout his entire combat sports career, accumulating over two decades of experience, one name stood out above the rest as the 40-year-old’s most feared opponent. Jorge Masvidal has shared the octagon with some of the greats across his long journey in mixed martial arts. During a recent interview, Masvidal singled out UFC veteran Yves Edwards as the man he was most worried about fighting. “I was worried about this guy,” Masvidal said.

Top 10 best UFC southpaws of all time, ranked

BAD MMA News — Fri, 30 Jun 2023 16:55:52 +0000

For those unaware, “southpaw” is a term in combat sports that references the opposite of an orthodox stance, where a person operates with their right foot forward – thereby making their left side the power side by default. The term originated in 19th-century baseball, where the word ‘southpaw’ was used to cite everyone from left-handed pitchers to first basemen alike. It would soon be applied to other sports like boxing, where it was used sparsely up until the 1950s to describe lefties. Aside from the fact that orthodox fighters would and could outright refuse to fight southpaws in boxing’s earlier days (which, in turn, forced more fighters to adopt orthodox stances), the world – in general – was much less flexible toward left-handed people back then. It wasn’t until the 1970s to where southpaws started to become more of a common occurrence in boxing communities, but there are still prejudices about the stance that are held to this day. MMA, which notably fast-forwarded martial arts and combat sports progression during its eruption in the 1990s, didn’t take as long to populate its sphere with southpaw stances.

Cris Cyborg ’s free agency has perhaps been the biggest topic of the past week in MMA. Many are wondering where she’s going to end up next. After UFC president Dana White made it clear he’s not interested in re-signing Cyborg , she might end up being one of the hottest free agents in the history of the sport.
