UFC 163 Prelims TV Ratings Suffer From Lack of Promtion and Difficult Summer Season

BAD MMA News — Tue, 06 Aug 2013 21:18:04 +0000

UFC 163: Aldo vs. Korean Zombie failed to drive much interest heading into Saturday’s pay-per-view event, which emanated from Rio de Janeiro, and that was reflected in the TV ratings for the preliminary bout broadcast on FX. The UFC 163 Prelims on FX attracted an audience of 1,000,000 viewers for the four-bout, two-hour broadcast. UFC 163 admittedly suffered from a lack of promotional attention overall with the launch of Fox’s new nationwide sports network, Fox Sports 1, and the re-branding of Fuel TV to Fox Sports 2, receiving the lion’s share of the media giant’s focus.

USA TODAY: Still waiting, Ricardo Lamas hopes he has next UFC title shot

BAD MMA News — Tue, 06 Aug 2013 17:00:00 +0000

(This story appears in today’s print edition of USA TODAY .) Ricardo Lamas was none too happy in June. A few weeks before a major fight against a major opponent, Lamas had it yanked out from under him. What was even worse for the UFC featherweight was his opponent was given a title shot instead of him. Lamas (13-2 MMA, 4-0 UFC) was supposed to meet “The Korean Zombie,” Chan Sung Jung (13-4 MMA, 3-1 UFC), with the winner expected to be next in line to fight for the title after champion Jose Aldo ‘s fight against Anthony Pettis at UFC 163. Lamas thought he’d get the next shot after a decisive TKO win against Erik Koch in January, but it went to Pettis.

BAD MMA News — Tue, 06 Aug 2013 01:07:46 +0000

Following his UFC 163 featherweight title defense against “The Korean Zombie,” Chan Sung Jung , on Saturday, champion Jose Aldo believed he suffered a broken foot in the opening round. “He knew that I was going be giving him low kicks, so the first combination I think he left his knee there. I kicked straight at his knee. I don’t know if I broke my foot. It’s very swollen. I can barely walk properly,” said Aldo during the UFC 163 post-fight press conference on Saturday. Aldo attended the post-fight press conference, but departed early to go to the hospital and have his foot evaluated. On Monday, MMAWeekly.com confirmed that Aldo did indeed suffer a fractured foot. The featherweight titleholder has been medically suspended for 90 days with no contact for at least 60 days. Aldo was up on the scorecards, winning the first three rounds. Jung dislocated his right shoulder throwing a combination in the fourth round. Noticing the injury, Aldo unleashed a flurry of strikes, forcing the referee to stop the fight.

“UFC 163: Aldo vs. Korean Zombie” is in the books and in one of the most highly criticized pay-per-view fight cards of 2013, the UFC produced a mixed bag of knockouts, submissions, controversial judging and disfigured limbs. A Brazilian fighter had his hand raised in four of the five main card bouts as John Lineker , Thales Leites , Cezar Ferreira and, of course, Jose Aldo , defeated their respective opponents in impressive fashion. The lone non-Brazilian to score a victory on the pay-per-view was Phil Davis , who upset former UFC light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida in a decision that had many, including UFC President Dana White , up in arms. No matter the nature of each man’s victory, they all accomplished the ultimate goal of the sport, and that’s being declared the winner at the conclusion of the fight.

Saturday’s UFC 163 card in Rio de Janeiro saw Jose Aldo defend his featherweight title against Chan Sung Jung with relative ease – though “The Korean Zombie” certainly was a game opponent until separating his shoulder in the fourth round.
