What happened in this busy week of MMA? Check it out, plus a little bit of web site information.
Hot — Carlos Condit: He left little question that he’s nonetheless a top welterweight along with his fourth-round TKO of Martin Kampmann on Wednesday night time. Would not a struggle between him and Matt Brown be enjoyable?
Not — Miguel Torres: The one-time WEC champion was arrested for marijuana possession in Indiana over the weekend. His last struggle was a loss in World Series of Preventing, and his final win was within the UFC in 2011.
Hot — Kansas City: James Krause, Zak Cummings and Jason High all have brought residence massive wins for KC not too long ago. The following win the town recognized for barbecue and fountains is seeking? A UFC occasion.
Not — Tony Lopez: On Thursday evening, Lopez — who has hovered close to the top of decrease-tier MMA promotions for eight-year career — did a despicable act in the cage. When choking out Andenlinson Clementino, he held the rear bare choke effectively after his opponent tapped and even after the referee tried to separate them. Then, he punched his opponent in face as he was standing up from the choke. In accordance with Center Straightforward, he was suspended indefinitely by the California State Athletic Commission. Hopefully, he’ll by no means see the within of a cage once more.
Site news: Tomorrow will likely be my final day with Yahoo Sports and my last day covering MMA. I’m headed to cover the NFL with one other web site. While I am thrilled about this opportunity, I’ll miss the world of MMA. I’ll miss fighters who are unguarded in interviews, coaches who will spend hours talking about their craft, and followers who are keen about their sport. It has been 5 wonderful years as a journalist overlaying MMA, however I am wanting ahead to being a battle fan again.
I can even miss meeting readers in person, on Fb and on Twitter. I’ve found Cagereaders to be good, passionate and an entire lot of fun. Thanks for the past five years.
