• UFC Fight Night 84 results: Gegard Mousasi decisions Thales Leites

  27-02-2016 23:40
  
  Thales Leites has by and large looked like a rejuvenated fighter in his second run through the UFC. The Brazilian took a 5-1 record in his past six UFC fights into UFC Fight Night 84.
  Unfortunately for Leites, Gegard Mousasi was there in London to greet him. And Mousasi turned it into a throwback Leites, the guy who once got cut from the UFC, in their middleweight co-feature bout.
  The judges' scores were a pair of 30-27s and a 29-28, all in Mousasi's favor
  Leites had no answer for Mousasi in the

• UFC Fight Night 84 results: Tom Breese struggles to get past Keita Nakamura

  Eventually, Tom Breese was going to go the distance.
  For the first nine fights of his MMA career, including his first two UFC matchups, the 24 year-old Tristar fighter by way of Birmingham, England, won via finish.
  But crafty veteran Keita Nakamura presented him with something a little different Saturday at UFC Fight Night 84. The Tokyo native kept Breese honest for 15 minutes, but not enough to take a decision.
  In a welterweight fight closer than the scores would indicate, Breese remained unbea

• UFC Should Have Alternates Ready In Big Fights

  27-02-2016 23:00
  
  Although the UFC is beyond ecstatic with Conor McGregor (19-2) facing Nate Diaz (18-10), the path to getting that fight was not easy. As fans know, Rafael Dos Anjos had to pull out of his title fight with McGregor with a broken foot. Fighters pulling out of big fights have happened one too many times in the past. Moving forward, the UFC should  book alternates when announcing big fights of a main event in case one of the fighters pull out.The UFC was scrambling all day on February

• UFC Fight Night 84 results: Brad Pickett takes questionable decision from Francisco Rivera

  27-02-2016 22:47
  
  There was no big mystery why bantamweights Francisco Rivera and Brad Pickett were matched up in London on Saturday.
  The duo can just bang, bro, with 15 knockouts between them. And while it wasn't a bell-to-bell barnburner at UFC Fight Night 84, the duo gave the crowd enough of what they wanted to make them happy.
  In the end, the judges went for a little hometown cooking, giving Picket a highly questionable split decision. Pickett got two out of three 29-28 cards for the win.

  Anderson Silva will fight Michael Bisping in Bisping's backyard Saturday, but London isn’t the terrifying place it was back in 2004.
  Silva was not the dominant mixed martial artist back in those days. With a 13-2 record, he was on the verge of winning the first belt of his career, but had to travel to England and beat Lee Murray in enemy territory. He had fought Japanese fighters on their home turf at PRIDE, but Murray in London was as enemy territory as it could get.

  Chris Dempsey might want to get some sleep ahead of his UFC Fight Night 84 bout Saturday against Scott Askham.
  There hasn't been much time for that sweet slumber lately, not when the 11-3 fighter is hell bent on making a run in the UFC's middleweight division.
