    (ALSO SEE: Sean Shelby’s Shoes: What’s next for Curtis Blaydes and UFC on ESPN+ 24’s other key winners?) Junior dos Santos was placed into new territory of his career on Saturday with a loss to Curtis Blaydes in the UFC on ESPN+ 24 headliner. For the first time, the former UFC heavyweight champ Dos Santos (21-7 MMA, 15-6 UFC) is on a losing skid after suffering a second-round TKO loss to Blaydes (13-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) in the main event, which took place at PNC Arena in Raleigh, N.C., and streamed on ESPN+. Coming into the fight, “Cigano” was confident he could make a run and reclaim his former title glory. At 35 and coming off a pair of rough stoppages, though, his plans could be significantly altered going forward. What does the loss mean for Dos Santos? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on his future and why a matchup with Augusto Sakai (14-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) would make most sense for him going forward. Voir l'article complet

    RALEIGH, N.C. – Angela Hill beat Hannah Cifers with a first-round TKO Saturday on the main card at UFC on ESPN+ 24 in Raleigh, N.C. Take a look inside the fight with Hill, who got her second straight stoppage win and now has her first winning streak in the UFC. Result: Angela Hill def. Hannah Cifers via TKO (strikes) – Round 1, 4:26 Updated records: Hill (11-7 MMA, 6-7 UFC), Cifers (10-4 MMA, 2-2 UFC) Key stat: Hill moved to No. 3 on the UFC women’s strawweight all-time wins list with six. Hill on the fight’s key moment “I always say the mental battle is the hardest for me. I can work hard all day. I’m not a slacker. I’ve never missed a wrestling class. The problem with me is that if I mess up, I begin doubting myself and hesitate. If I get a short-notice fight, the less time I have to think about all that stuff. If I just train to train, and train to get better, I’m not worried about what someone else is going to do to me.” Hill on her first UFC winning streak “(It) feels amazing. I hate losing, so this is great. It’s great to get two finishes in a row, as well. I feel reborn. I feel like a different fighter going in there ready to kill instead of worrying about losing or if my reputation is going to get worse. I put all of that behind me and just focus on being the killer that I know I can be.” Hill on what she wants next “I’m technically always in fight camp, so getting a fight on 10 days’ notice doesn’t matter. I’ll be prepared. Now, it’s more about what I do well instead of what they are bringing to the table. I listen to my coaches, do what I’m told and go in there and get the job done.” To hear more from Hill, check out the video of the full post-fight interview above. Voir l'article complet

    INGLEWOOD, Calif. – AJ Agazarm got what he wanted. Agazarm, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, picked up a submission win in his fourth professional fight on Saturday at Bellator 238. Agazarm (3-1 MMA, 3-1 BMMA) submitted Adel Altamimi with a triangle-choke after a back-and-forth battle that dragged into the third round at The Forum. Although Agazarm got the tap, he didn’t do it with the textbook triangle MMA fans are used to seeing inside the cage. “I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life,” Agazarm said in his post-fight scrum. “That’s called the ‘Agazarm,’ and that’s my patented move. “I learned it from my jiu-jitsu professor a long time ago and just kind of made it my own. You’ve seen that submission finish in Polaris like three or four times. Actually, funny enough, I just shared it on my Facebook like three days ago, so it was cool to finally get that. “It’s a bait move, so you go for the arm bar, and you trick him into falling for the triangle, and he fell right for it. It’s not really your traditional triangle. It’s a bit of a variation, so I was stoked on that one.” It appeared Altamimi did a light tap before the referee called off the fight. Yet, Altamimi kept on engaging in the grappling exchange a second after the contest was waived off. Some people on social media said Agazarm’s opponent didn’t really tap. The Nick Diaz Army fighter assures he got the clean submission win and says he “could’ve kept it longer” if needed. “It was as tight as tight can get without his head popping off,” Agazarm said. Regardless of what people think of the finish, Agazarm is now on a three-fight winning streak after losing his professional MMA debut in early 2019. Agazarm is happy with his performance but thinks there’s a lot to work on, calling himself a “white belt with three stripes” in MMA. Voir l'article complet

    RALEIGH, N.C. – Sara McMann beat Lina Lansberg with a unanimous decision Saturday on the preliminary card at UFC on ESPN+ 24 in Raleigh, N.C. Take a look inside the fight with McMann, who returned after nearly a two-year layoff. Result: Sara McMann def. Lina Lansberg via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-26, 30-25) Updated records: Lina Lansberg (10-4 MMA, 4-3 UFC) vs. Sara McMann (11-5 MMA, 5-5 UFC) Key stat: McMann landed three takedowns and won the significant striking battle 38-1. McMann on the fight’s key moment “I’m working on my composure and setting things up, but she hit a good liver shot at one point and I knew I didn’t want any more of that. She’s a muay Thai fighter. She’s good, and she’s fast, so I didn’t want to deal with that.” McMann on the long layoff “I wondered if I would feel a little bit more tired out there than I did. It doesn’t matter how hard you train. When you are out there and the adrenaline is going with the importance and urgency of it all, you end up more fatigued than you would be in practice. I’ve been training really well, very hard, and I’ve been focusing on my recovery a lot. I did a lot of running and swimming for this, which is great conditioning for my legs, especially.” McMann on what she wants next “I want to savor tonight, but I know how the UFC works. They don’t want to give me an easy fight, and I’m on the same page as them. I’d like a top-five opponent. Bring them on and I’ll knock them down.” To hear more from McMann, check out the video of the full post-fight interview above. Voir l'article complet

    Mariya Agapova shows off her injuries that caused her to drop out at Invicta FC 39. | Photo via Invicta FC Brazilian flyweight Daiana Torquato will now fight Shanna Young at Invicta FC 39 after Mariya Agapova was forced off the card because of an auto-pedestrian accident in South Florida, the company announced Saturday. The fight card takes place at the Memorial Hall in Kansas City on Feb. 7. Jinh Yu Frey puts her atomweight belt on the line against Ashley Cummins in the main event. Young (7-2) last fought in November, defeating Maiju Suotama via decision. “The Shanimal” was part of Invicta’s Phoenix Series 2 eight-woman, one-night tournament in September, but lost to eventual winner Miranda Maverick in the semifinal. Torquato (9-3) also competed in that tournament, which bouts were considered “exhibition matches”, defeating Milana Dudieva via split decision before losing via submission to DeAnna Bennett in a semifinal bout. Another change to the card sees Tina Pettigrew (1-0) replacing Kristina Pettigrew against Monica Franco (1-0) at bantamweight. Check the updated Invicta FC 39 card below.

    What mattered most at Bellator 238 in Inglewood? Here are a few post-fight musings … * * * * * 1. Cris Cyborg’s big moment and what’s next Cris Cyborg picked up her fourth major promotional championship with a fourth-round TKO of Julia Budd to claim the women’s featherweight title. This seems like the pinnacle for her at this point, and anything else she achieves going forward is gravy. We all wanted to see that rematch with Amanda Nunes in the UFC, but it not coming to fruition might have been for the best. Cyborg seems to be infinitely happier fighting in Bellator, and it sounds like she’s getting a healthy payday to be there. Although the narrative is that Bellator has a deeper women’s 145-pound division than the UFC, having Cyborg at the top can make things look thin in a hurry. The fight with Budd was compelling for its layer of perceived competitiveness, and more matchups like that will be needed to hold interest in her title run. 1 2 3 …4Voir l'article complet

    Priscila Cachoeira (pictured, right) is stepping in on short notice to fight Shana Dobson in a flyweight bout at UFC Auckland on Feb. 22 | Jason Silva-USA TODAY Sports Rachael Ostovich has withdrawn from a second straight fight. Ostovich will not be competing against Shana Dobson (3-3) at UFC Auckland on Feb. 22 as scheduled, people with knowledge of the withdrawal confirmed to MMA Fighting. In her place, Priscila Cachoeira (8-3) will step in on short notice to preserve the flyweight matchup. The news was first reported by MMA Junkie. The reason for Ostovich’s withdrawal has not been disclosed. Cachoeira looks to avoid the dubious distinction of going 0-4 in the Octagon after suffering losses to Valentina Shevchenko, Molly McCann and Luana Carolina. “Pedrita” was unbeaten prior to joining the UFC, with four knockout victories in her first eight fights. A cast member on “The Ultimate Fighter 26,” Dobson is 1-2 in the UFC. She has lost two straight since defeating Ariel Beck by second-round TKO in her debut for the promotion in December 2017.

    What mattered most at UFC on ESPN+ 24 in Raleigh? Here are a few post-fight musings … * * * * * 1. Curtis Blaydes’ ‘Plan Z’ ain’t too shabby It was no surprise that Curtis Blaydes was a winner over Junior Dos Santos in the main event. He was a roughly 3-to-1 betting favorite, but even his strongest supporters didn’t see it unfolding like that. Not only did Blaydes stop Dos Santos with strikes, but he did so without getting a single takedown. All six of his attempts were denied, forcing him into what he labeled post-fight as “Plan Z.” He revealed he’s got some talent there, as well, landing solid shots before a massive one rocked Dos Santos and led to the second-round TKO. Blaydes’ preferred method of victory still would’ve been to take down Dos Santos and batter him, he said, but that’s what was expected if the fight went his way. This performance was much more eye-opening, and it helps generate a better understanding of Blaydes as he continues to jockey for position in the heavyweight title picture. 1 2 3 4 …5Voir l'article complet

    Michael Chiesa | Rob Kinnan-USA TODAY Sports Unbeaten at 170 pounds, there’s no turning back for Michael Chiesa. The former lightweight picked up the biggest win of his career on Saturday in the co-main event of UFC Raleigh, taking home a unanimous decision over top welterweight contender and former lightweight champ Rafael dos Anjos. With the victory, “Maverick” improved to 3-0 since moving up from 155 pounds. Post-fight, Chiesa called out former interim champion Colby Covington, and he elaborated on that decision while speaking to the media backstage. “I just beat the No. 5-ranked guy in the world, and I always say the most important time to ask for a fight is after you win,” Chiesa said. “You’ve got to capitalize. I’m not out to engage in some verbal pissing match with [Covington]; I respect his skills and he’s super tough. I’m just trying to get to a world title, and I think that’s the fight that makes the most sense when you look at the top-five. I said before the fight, I beat Rafael dos Anjos; I’m not fighting anybody that’s ranked less than five. I’m taking his spot and just looking at the landscape of the division, that’s the fight that makes sense. “I want to be tested, I want to fight the best, so Colby it is.” Chiesa has never been shy to throw out a name following a victory, and he immediately left the cage after mentioning that he wanted to fight Covington. According to Chiesa, the call-out only occurred to him and his team after watching Covington’s fight with Kamaru Usman at UFC 245, and seeing how the top of the welterweight division shook out in the aftermath of Usman’s win. With former champion Tyron Woodley set to fight Leon Edwards in March, Chiesa did the math and came up with Covington as the answer for who he should challenge next. “I kind of waited to see how [UFC] 245 ended and just kind of wanted to see what happened with Tyron and Leon and everybody,” Chiesa said. “But I think it’s a fight that makes sense, and I wouldn’t go ask for some outlandish matchup. Anytime I’ve won a fight and asked for an opponent, I’ve usually gotten it, and that’s because it’s all well thought-out. I just don’t throw things against the wall that aren’t gonna stick. I just think it’s a fight that makes sense, I think it’s a fight I could get, so we’ll see what happens.” Not only did Chiesa take dos Anjos’s spot in the contenders’ rankings, he feels his gritty performance proved that he belongs to be mentioned among the welterweight division’s elite names and he vowed to be the No. 1 contender by the end of the year. Covington and Usman both defeated dos Anjos on their way up the rankings and Chiesa believes he passed the same test with flying colors. He thinks Covington will be an even greater challenge, which is exactly why he has to find out what will happen if they meet in the Octagon. “I just showed that I’m tough,” Chiesa said. “I just went out there – look at the guys who have beat ‘RDA.’ Only the best guys have beat him. So I’d like to think that I’m gonna join the echelon of those fighters in that same aspect. I’m gonna become a champion. I proved that tonight. I went out and beat a championship-calibre fighter, and that’s it. I want to be great, I want to fight the best guys, I want to test myself, I want see what my limits are. I don’t think a lot of guys in this sport really have that mentality. I’m not out to find easy fights. “Colby Covington’s a nightmare matchup for me, but I’m ready to walk through the fire. I want to fight the best guys.” Afficher l’article complet

    Bellator 238 took place Saturday at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif., where Cris Cyborg made history. In defeating Julia Budd by fourth-round TKO in the night’s main event, Cyborg became the first fighter to win major championships in four separate promotions – Strikeforce, Invicta FC, the UFC, and now Bellator. The event also included Darrion Caldwell moving on to the featherweight grand prix quarterfinals with a submission win over previously undefeated Adam Borics. As is customary, Bellator president Scott Coker spoke with reporters afterward and offered his reaction to those outcomes and more. You can read below or watch the video above. **** On Cris Cyborg’s championship win over Julia Budd “It was electric in there, and I think that Cyborg came in, and she looked super explosive, like really good. Julia looked great, too, but as the rounds went on, Cyborg started dominating the fight and instilled her will on Julia. That’s the way I saw it, but in that first round anything could’ve happened, someone could’ve gotten caught, and you know, get a finish. “It was a great fight. It was really intense in there, and I’m proud of both ladies. Julia Budd is a great fighter. She’s someone who’s had the belt for a long time, and I think everybody can now see why. She’s gotten so much respect among her peers and fans.” Related Emotional Julia Budd: 'No excuses on my part' for title loss to Cris Cyborg at Bellator 238 Cris Cyborg reflects on historic fourth major championship won at Bellator 238: 'I feel blessed' On a potential rematch between Cris Cyborg and Julia Budd Cris Cyborg and Julia Budd at Bellator 238. (Dave Mandel, MMA Junkie) “That really depends on what happens in the next year. I think Julia, I haven’t talked to Julia, but I’m just assuming from knowing her that she’s going to want to come back and get busy. So if she gets on a tear and Cyborg keeps winning then maybe we’ll get it on again, but in this sport you never know.” On Cris Cyborg wanting a women’s featherweight grand prix “I think we have eight girls that are solid, but I’ll tell you what: After that performance, she’s going to be a tough fight for anybody in the weight class, so they better bring it, because she’s a beast, explosive, and she looked like she didn’t miss a beat in my opinion. That’s why I call her the greatest fighter of all time today in the female division, and I think you saw it with your own eyes today.” On Sergio Pettis’ successful Bellator debut Sergio Pettis submits Alfred Khashakyan at Bellator 238. (Dave Mandel, MMA Junkie) “I think he looked great. I think he’s right in that mix, because with (Kyoji) Horiguchi being out and DC (Darrion Caldwell) being in the (featherweight) tournament, we’re going to host a 135-pound championship (fight) at some point. But we’re going to wait and see how these guys perform over the course of two, three, four months, because we will be doing 30 (events) this year in 2020. “So well have a lot of opportunity for these guys to get some more fights under their belt, and we’ll probably host a 135-pound championship fight in some time.” On Darrion Caldwell’s quick submission win over Adam Borics “Caldwell surprised me. Let’s be honest: We thought that may work out the other way, but in a fight anything can happen. “I think that was one of the fights that could’ve maybe had a different outcome, but he went and did his thing. He wants to fight for that million dollars at the end of the year. The only thing I didn’t like was the backflip at the end off the cage. I think I’ve seen enough of that. I tell my guys, ‘Please, let’s just stop that.'” Related Darrion Caldwell focuses on A.J. McKee after quick Bellator 238 win over Adam Borics On boxing champion Ava Knight suffering her first MMA loss “Ava Knight had something to prove tonight. She fought a girl that had some great ground skills and beat her, so back to the drawing board. I know she’ll bounce back, train hard, and this is not an easy sport, as you all may know. “This is a difficult sport, so we wish her luck in training and maybe in three or four months we can have her back.” Voir l'article complet

    Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images As one of the most recognizable athletes on planet Earth, the tragic news of Kobe Bryant’s death in a helicopter accident has shaken the sporting world. With a combination spectacular talent on the NBA court, an unmatched work ethic off the court and determination to win at all costs, Bryant, 41, captivated audiences worldwide like few athletes ever have. A student of Bruce Lee’s iconic Jeet Kune Do, the five-time NBA champion was no stranger to the world of martial arts. While he never competed professionally, the man dubbed “The Black Mamba” often dipped his toe into the world MMA with business ventures such as ESPN’s “DETAILED,” featuring former UFC double champ Daniel Cormier, and his sports drink Body Armor, which has been prominently featured on the scales at ceremonial weigh-ins and press conferences. Below is how the fighting community reacted the untimely death of the future NBA Hall of Famer. Rip pic.twitter.com/oIM6sph2Cv — Amanda Nunes (@Amanda_Leoa) January 26, 2020 Horrible!!!!

    INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Sergio Pettis might be considered a veteran at this point, but he’s still experiencing new things in his MMA career. The 26-year-old Milwaukee native, who’s been fighting professionally for close to a decade, made his Bellator debut on Saturday night after leaving the UFC late last year. Pettis (19-5 MMA, 1-0 Bellator) scored a technical submission win over Alfred Khashakyan on the main card of Bellator 238 at The Forum. Despite having many fights under his belt, Pettis felt the pressure of expectations that come with switching organizations. “Honestly, it was stressful,” Pettis told reporters in his post-fight scrum, which MMA Junkie attended. “I was trying to keep it cool the whole time, but I was stressed the hell out, (explicit) nervous, very nervous, whole new setting. “Even the whole walkout was different. I’m used to having my corner in the back talking me up, and they left to the cage, and I was like, ‘Damn, I’m by myself right now.’ This is so different, but it was fun. It was a cool night, man. I’m very happy.” Pettis competed for the UFC from 2013 to 2019. He compiled a record of 9-5 competing at flyweight and bantamweight there. The change from UFC to Bellator marks Pettis’ first switch of major organizations. Despite it being so stressful, Pettis still sees the experience as a positive. “It was definitely a lot different than what I was used to,” Pettis said. “I was in the UFC for six years, so things were ran different. Things were a little different, but it was good. Everybody was cool here, everybody was very welcoming and very nice to me, so big shout out to Bellator. Thank you, guys.” Apart from the obvious change of employers, Pettis; performance on Saturday was notable for other reasons. The Roufusport product got his first finish in seven years. “I got a highlight, finally,” Pettis said. “It’s been a while. My first finish in, (explicit), 12 fights, so it’s definitely humbling. “Those fights are fun. I prefer those fights. I think it brings out the better me, having someone trying to hurt me and knock me out makes me, I don’t know, something just came out of me tonight. It was different.” Voir l'article complet

    Earning wins in the UFC is certainly no easy task, but what comes next is often even more important: the post-fight callout. So after Saturday’s UFC on ESPN+ 24 event in Raleigh, N.C., who took advantage of their time on the mic? See below for this week’s Callout Collection – and just how realistic each one is. * * * * * First up, let’s take a look at the night’s prelim winners. Herbert Burns Wants to fight: Chase Hooper, Makwan Amirkhani or Ryan Hall The callout: “I’ll take on whoever is next, but there are a lot of guys I’d like to fight next: Chase Hooper, (Makwan) Amirkhani, Ryan Hall is looking for a dance partner. He says he has the best grappling in the division. Let’s see.” The reality: The UFC’s featherweight division is one of the most stacked weight classes in the promotion, and that means anyone coming off a solid win should have a variety of possible matchups waiting for him. Hooper is still very young in his career, and the UFC may look to slow-play him a little, so that may be less likely, but Herbert Burns’ mention of Ryan Hall is a fascinating one. Hall has made no secret of his frustration at not being able to find himself an opponent, and Burns will be confident in his own grappling against the noted heel-hook specialist. It would represent a solid next test for the “Dana White’s Contender Series” graduate, while also getting Hall back into action after a longer-than-intended layoff. I like it. Next up, let’s check out the main card. 1 2 Voir l'article complet

    What makes professional fighters so relatable? At first glance, probably nothing. But take away the gloves, gis, and bulging hematomas, and they’re actually not so different than the rest of us.

    Fighters from around the globe dream of the day they’ll step into the UFC octagon for the first time. For four athletes, Saturday’s UFC on ESPN+ 24 event marked that special moment in their career. Check out this week’s rookie report to see what kind of first impression those fighters made on the sport’s biggest stage from PNC Arena in Raleigh, N.C. * * * * * Jamahal Hill Division: Light heavyweight Result: Jamahal Hill def. Darko Stosic via unanimous decision (29-27, 29-27, 29-27) Record: 7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC Grade: C- Long and lean at 205 pounds with a slick southpaw jab, Jamahal Hill used his physical gifts to outpoint gritty grappler Darko Stosic over three rounds in the main-card opener, but his performance showed that the 28-year-old still has much to work on if he plans to make a dent in the UFC’s hard-hitting light heavyweight division. First, the positives: Hill showed a consistent, accurate jab and followed up with sharp, straight left hands to keep judoka Stosic at arm’s length for much of the bout as he landed more than 100 strikes. He also showed a decent gas tank and good athleticism as he comprehensively outstruck his opponent over the three-round duration. But while his strikes looked slick and his reflexes seemed sharp, the bout highlighted some technical issues that will certainly need attention as he looks to move up the ranks at 205 pounds. Hill carries his chin pretty high, and his low lead right hand leaves the door wide open for a left hand counter that a harder puncher than Stosic might have exploited. On the flip side, Trevor Wittman noted during the ESPN+ broadcast that Hill was tuned into his coaches’ instructions during the fight and was switching up his attack when called upon. That’s certainly a big positive for such a young fighter and shows he isn’t too caught up in the moment when he’s in the thick of the action. But he’ll need to tighten up his hands from a defensive perspective as he starts to face a higher class of opposition in the UFC. In conclusion, there’s plenty to work on, but there’s also plenty to be encouraged by. It might take a few fights and some noticeable improvements before he gets moved up in competition, but there’s certainly something to work with moving forward. 1 2 3 …4Voir l'article complet

    Mais tellement! C'est de loin la championne féminine la plus accomplie, longévité supérieure à Ronda Rousey et temps passé au top supérieur à Nunes, n'en déplaise à l'intellectuel raffiné qu'est Dana White, Cyborg est un monument du MMA féminin et maintenant qu'elle entame sa dernière partie de carrière, un dream fight dans l'esprit Pride contre l'ogresse du Rizin, ce serait formidable. Belle entrée de Sergio Pettis dans une caté où il semble un peu léger par contre Trigg aurait du stopper le combat sur les frappes avant la guillotine. Caldwell se qualifie en demi-final en surclassant la découverte de 2019 Adam Borics, ce tournoi feather est franchement intéressant, j'avais bien apprécié le "tirage au sort" avec Freire qui chamboule tout en choisissant son adversaire, le seul truc un peu dommage, c'est qu'ils ont éparpillé les quarts sur une longue période, ça aurait plus tenu en haleine si on avait vu les quatre quarts de finale sur une soirée je pense. Sans compter que la qualité du tournoi le permettait largement.
