HIGHLIGHTING HEADLINES IN MMA (AUGUST 20, 2017)

12-fight UFC veteran Sam Sicilia Newest to sign multi-fight Bellator contract

Good on him! Dropping a unanimous decision to promotional newcomer Gavin Tucker at UFC Fight Night 105 back in October, Sicilia fell to a three-fight losing skid in the UFC and obtained his pink slip from the promotion. I like he’s found a new house using Bellator, and hopefully an equally good or better payday. Win or lose, the Washington native always shows up to fight and looks for the finish. Congratulations to Sammy Dubs for his new contract, and best of luck on his new chapter.
Frank Mir agrees to cope with Bellator MMA
Nice! The UFC did exactly the ideal thing and released Mir from his contract, which allowed Bellator to sweep up him. My guess is that they guaranteed him a matchup against Fedor Emalianenko, which made him choose Bellator over competing promotions. I like this move by Mir and anticipate watching him inside the Bellator cage. The Fedor matchup will certainly be an interesting one.

Dillashaw: Mighty Mouse was’consolation prize’
TJ Dillashaw is now set to confront UFC bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt at UFC 217 at nyc on November 4th, and the most important reason this name fight is now taking place is since UFC flyweight champion Demetrious”Mighty Mouse” Johnson refused to defend his title against Dillashaw if Garbrandt was forced from the UFC 209 contest due to injury. The Duane Ludwig-trained fighter understands that Johnson was not confident in himself to accept the challenge. Talking to MMA Junkie Radio, Dillashaw said that the Gabrandt struggle is exactly what he wanted all along and that the Johnson matchup was just a backup plan. He understands that is not a fantastic fight for him and wouldn’t take it,” Dillashaw explained. “He is real worried about the record he needs to break. Go ahead and let him do this, I figure.”
White: Ferguson, Lee to struggle for interim lightweight name Alright, now we are talking! Early common consensus is that Ferguson is going to handily defeat Lee, but I’m not so convinced. Lee has been quite impressive as of late, and I enjoy seeing his growth inside the Octagon. This is a matchup I am excited about visiting, and win or lose, I hope Lee does not suffer any injuries so he’ll make a quick turnaround for December’s UFC 218 in his native Detroit, that will be just two months after the Ferguson bout.
Paulo Borrachinha Costa: ‘I Will Knock Out Johny Hendricks’

No, Diego, Nooooo!!!!! Say it is not so! Just call it stops, my dude. Hang them up gloves. It is time. You do not have to be jumping back up to 170 pounds when you were recently testing the waters at 145. Don’t stick around for the cash, man, the brain damage will not be worth it.
