Ex-UFC fighter Dustin Ortiz among participants in BRAVE CF flyweight title tournament

BAD MMA News — Mon, 20 Jul 2020 13:49:19 +0000

BRAVE CF will crown their first ever flyweight champion in a tournament format. The promotion has recently invested in their 125-pound division, adding ex-UFC flyweights Dustin Ortiz , Jose Torres and Zach Makovsky to their ever-growing roster. In November 2018, Russia’s Velimurad Alkhasov defeated Marcel Adur for the vacant flyweight title at BRAVE CF 18 but was not crowned champion due to missing weight. So to crown the promotion’s inaugural 125-pound champion, BRAVE CF officials decided to hold a flyweight tournament, which will include four quarterfinal fights featuring eight of the best 125-pounders across the world. In the first quarter-final fight former Titan FC dual-champ Torres (9-1) will face former CFFC flyweight champ Sean Santella . Torres is coming off a unanimous decision win over current UFC flyweight Amir Albazi in his BRAVE CF debut in April 2019.

BAD MMA News — Wed, 03 Jan 2018 21:22:18 +0000

Former Bellator champ and UFC veteran Zach Makovsky won’t see competitive action for the next several months after suffering a torn ACL. Makovsky (20-9) did not reveal how his injury occurred, but the flyweight did share to his social media followers that he’s likely to be out of action for the first half of the year while he rehabilitates (via Instagram ): Sidelined…They say winter is a season of recovery and preparation, and this is my likely viewpoint for the first half of 2018. Unfortunately, I’ve suffered the first serious injury of my career, a torn acl. I plan on doing whatever I can to make a full recovery and have a stellar last couple years of competition

UFC vet Zach Makovsky on ACB debut: It’s ‘a throwback to my early days of fighting’

BAD MMA News — Sat, 13 May 2017 00:37:38 +0000

Filed under: Featured Videos , News , Videos Zach Makovsky has been a professional fighter for more than 10 years. During that span, he’s prepared for fights in many different ways, but said it’s been a long time since he went into a fight blind of his opponent. Makovsky (19-8), who makes his ACB debut Saturday at ACB 60, knows he’s fighting against Josiel Silva (7-1) at the event in Vienna, Austria. Outside of the name, though, he’s fairly clueless as to the type of opponent he will step into the cage against at Hallmann Dome. “To be honest, this is like a throwback to my early days of fighting where there’s really not much footage that I can find,” Makovsky told MMAjunkie Radio. “I’ve only seen his most recent fight
