BJJ record title holder Bruno Malfacine happy with BRAVE

10/29/2018

"Yeah, I’m happy with BRAVE, they’ve treated me so well, they’ve been treating us so good. I have so much respect for everyone that I’ve worked with. We don’t have any plans right after, but I still believe that I need to get a little more experience. In my last fight I was able to submit in the first round, I can barely tell how it is to fight full rounds, five minutes. I think I need something like that to see the level that I am at." H/T BE

NLRB avoids making determination on whether UFC fighters are independent contractors

10/29/2018

Project Spearhead organizer Leslie Smith tried to negotiate a $100k per fight to show, two-fight deal around a last minute fight change, and was instead paid her show-win, and released; she appealed to the NLRB saying the release was due to her union organization effort. The NLRB disagreed. As a result of the Regional Director’s rejection of Smith's allegations, he decided that it was unnecessary to offer an opinion on whether Ms. Smith was actually a statutory employee eligible to unionize or an independent contractor.

Angela Lee aims to prove she’s ‘one of the baddest female fighters’ of our era

10/29/2018

Angela Lee has defended her ONE 115 belt three times and plans to become champ champ vs. strawweight champ Jingnan Xiong at ONE: Heart of the Lion on 11/9, live on the Super App: “I’ve never been a person to just be comfortable with where I’m at. This is about my legacy. I want to be known as one of the baddest female fighters of my time, of this era. I see this as a great opportunity. I’m going to take advantage of this opportunity, I’m going to shock the world. I’m going to become the first female two-division champion. That’s all. I do expect the girls to be a little bigger, a little stronger, but that’s not an issue for me. I’m not scared of being the smaller woman. In fact, I don’t think I will. When you see us match up, you guys will see. I think it’s gong to be a great fight. H/T MMA Fighting

Anthony Smith taking a f@$%ing break, no plans to fight until next year

10/29/2018

Anthony Smith beat Volkan Oezdemir on Saturday night, and then detailed what's next: “I’m going to go ahead and get this out here now: I’ve said that I’ll fight anyone, anytime, any place, but I also said that I need a break. My hand’s pretty banged up. We’re definitely going to need an X-ray. My leg’s pretty banged up. So I don’t want any of these idiot 205ers that are ranked in the division – nothing against Dominick Reyes, but I can see it now. As soon as I get home on Monday they’re going to be calling for a fight, and I already said I needed a break, and they’re going to use this as an opportunity to say that I’m turning fights down. I’m telling you guys right now: I’m taking a f***ing break. I need a goddamn break." H/T Sherdog

Liddell expresses regrets for the degree to which he partied

10/29/2018

Chuck Liddell recently cut a promo for his fight with Tito Ortiz on November 24, and expressed some regrets for the notorious partying: “I had a lot of fun, but it was not the best environment for fighting. What everyone is saying is I look better than I did 10 years ago. I’m 48 years old, and I look better than I did when I was fighting at 38. That is a testament to the life I’m living now. I want [me] kids to see the guy that became a world champion, not the guy resting on his laurels, laying around, taking it easy. Until I started training and getting back into shape, I didn’t realize the choices I started making where, ah, I can take it easy here, I can take it easy there, and I don’t like living that way."

Bryce Mitchell gives update on his nutsack

10/28/2018

In August Bryce Mitchell ripped his nutsack in half with a power drill, and recently gave an update: “It was like my stomach dropped and I thought that my dick had been ripped off and my balls was gone and my stomach just dropped like it’s never dropped before. ... I thought, ‘Well, s*** I’m dead. I’m gonna sit here and bleed out.’ I looked down and everything was still good, so I got lucky. ... I’m completely recovered. I’ve been in the gym about two or three weeks, just right back at it, trying to get in shape for the next fight. They said I’d probably be fighting January or February, or something like that. ... I might hurt myself with something else, hopefully, it ain’t the drill though.” H/T MMA Fighting

Anthony Smith responds to Jon Jones tweet that win vs. Oezdemir was just 'OK'

10/28/2018

“If he ain’t worried about it, what’s he watching for? Jon Jones should worry about Alexander Gustafsson first. I think that performance was exactly one Jon Jones would hate to see. You’re not going to get me out of there with a little bit of flash and some hard punches. That ain’t going to happen. But if I was Jon Jones, I would probably be a little bit more worried about Alexander Gustafsson than Anthony Smith right now.” H/T MMAjunkie

Woodley: Askren would wreck GSP and Nurmagomedov

10/27/2018

Tyron Woodley was teammates with Ben Askren at years ago at Missouri, and has trained with him at times at Roufussport: He’s one of the best fighters in the world. Not just UFC, not just Bellator, not just ONE FC, he’s had a remarkable career combatively. I would consider wrestling a combative sport as well. Four-time finalist in the NCAA’s, [two] time champ, only lost to two individuals ever in collegiate wrestling, made an Olympic team. .... Phenomenal guy, my wrestling coach, obviously my teammate. ... Khabib is a ‘G’ but Khabib ain’t never fought nobody like Ben. He never fought anybody like Ben, he ain’t never fought nobody like Michael Chandler. Those guys would wreck him on life. Chandler’s intensity is more, his striking is better. Ben doesn’t have the same intensity but his style is not one of intensity H/T MMANytt,

If you've lived a lot of big mistakes, listen to Anthony Smith

10/27/2018

Stephie Haynes has done another must-read interview for BE with UFC light heavyweight Anthony Smith: "I don’t really fit the mold of someone that’s going to be motivating a bunch of collegiate athletes or Olympic hopefuls—people that have done everything the right way without mistakes. They don’t need someone like me. It’s the people that were like me that need me. There’s lots of guys out there that have losses or think that they’re not going to make it, or they have a bad personal record or whatever. Those are the ones that I want to reach, those are the ones that identify with me. ... My career has been pretty up and down. I’ve had a lot of struggles and I’ve been through a lot of bulls***. So far, I’ve been able to come out on the good side of it all. It’s really easy to see someone that’s successful and say, ‘I want what they have. I want to be able to do what they do,’ but those people aren’t the ones I’m trying to reach or inspire. I want the downtrodden guys, the down-and-out guys that have been ignored; the ones that can identify with me, ‘Well he was like me at one point in time. If he can do it, I can do it.’"
