The UFC is back in Rio tonight with a card full of Brazilians looking to put on a performance for the fans at UFC 153. The Brazilian fans saw the card get hit by the injury bug that scrapped the top two fights on the card but ultimately got more then they could have ever hoped for tonight.
Back again with another 8-Bit MMA Poster for this Saturday’s UFC 153: Silva vs. Bonnar. This card has been through numerous changes and injuries but somehow still managed to put on a decent card for Brazil and MMA fans all around the world.
Anderson Silva is arguably the best Pound 4 Pound fighter on the planet at this moment. His reign at middleweight is equivalent to what Fedor Emelianenko had accomplished in his pride days in the 2000’s. Even his few stints at light heavyweight have been impressive finishing; both wins were knockouts which totaled up to 4:24 mins inside the octagon. Even at the age of 37, there is no stopping the man they call The Spider.
The UFC will be in action for the fourth consecutive weekend when they return to Brazil for UFC 153 this weekend. The fight card has gone through a serious face lift since the original UFC 153 fight card was announced, especially the top three bouts.
If you’re looking for a high-energy crowd, Brazil is the place to go, and the UFC is bringing a show worth cheering for with the UFC 153. Despite the multitude of injuries, some big names in Brazilian MMA have stepped up to fight for their fans, and you know they’ll be bringing their best to the table. We’ve got a lot of ground to cover here, so let’s get into this fight report and wrap our heads around the battles to come. Now, onto the fights!
The MMA Calendar has turned to the month of October and the end of the year is within our sights. The final quarter of the year is not only filled with holidays but it also typically contains some of the best MMA action the year has to offer. October has plenty of fights, which is always great, but this month has a handful of fights that you do not want to miss.
The fallout from the Saturday’s epic UFC 139: Shogun vs. Henderson event was released today by the California State Athletic Commission. Out of the 24 fighters on the card, 13 of them received medical suspensions with the obvious combatants receiving extended suspensions.
Making their first trip to San Jose, California the UFC put together a deep fight card that delivered the goods inside the Octagon. The final two fights at UFC 139 were both awarded “Fight of the Night” honors for good reason. As far as Main & Co-Main events go, UFC 139 arguably had the best combination of the two on a single night.
