MMA News – ONE FC 6 ‘Rise of Kings’: video trailer, fight card and weigh-in results

At the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, it’s time for ONE FC 6, One Fighting Championship 6 “Rise of Kings”.
The main event is a great fight between Shinya Aoki and Arnaud ‘The Game’ Lepont. During the weigh-in Aoki checked in at 154.1 pounds, while Lepont tipped the scales at 154.8.
Aoki is the DREAM Lightweight Champion and one of the deadliest submission specialists in the sport. He has provoked Lepont, saying he’s never heard of Lepont and he’s making a mistake for asking to fight him.
Aoki has always been Lepont’s idol, so the French fighter was very disappointed hearing this words: “I have to be honest, yes I am (disappointed), but it helps me open my mind and get more focused about that fight. Now I know I have to go for it, to earn his respect. He says he can knock me out? Great, can’t wait to see how long he will

According to Ronda Rousey, breaking an arm feels like “tearing apart a turkey with a crotch”. A sort of game, so to speak.
“I don’t think it’s satisfying. It kind of grosses me out. I tell everybody, it kind of feels like tearing apart a turkey with a crotch. It really does. It’s gross. When you’re trying to get a turkey thing off and you feel all the cartilage and the tendons and the bones coming off, when you’re pulling it, it really is that exact feeling” she said during the interview. “It’s gross. But that’s the way it is. They’d try to do the exact same thing to me. I’ve felt it being done to my own arms”.
The best example of this is what she did to Miesha Tate when she won the 135-pound title in March.
The 25 year-old has in fact has won all nine of her bouts in the same way: armbar. And often with bad consequences for her “victims”.
In a former interview, she explained where she learned her signature move: her judoka mother jumped on her every morning to wake her up with armbars! If it is not maternal love…

MMA News – A ‘Bigfoot’ is ready to step in: UFC on FX 5 Browne vs Bigfoot Silva – Oct 5

His first appearance at UFC in May was a disaster. Ex-champ Cain Velasquez made his face a bloody mess at UFC 146. And almost a year earlier, his hope to win the Strikeforce Heavyweight Tournament was wiped out by a big punch delivered by Daniel Cormier in the semifinals.

Now Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva (16-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC) wants to forget the recent past and comeback to victory.
Friday at Target Center in Minneapolis in the main event of UFC on FX 5, he will face a rising giant, the 6-foot-7 undefeated Travis Browne (13-0-1 MMA, 4-0-1 UFC).
Silva (6-foot-4, anyway) said: “I’m coming into this fight with a lot of

The bulky fighter who cuts to make the 265-pound top limit of the heavyweight division, has fought twice this year on Rage in the Cage show. His last fight was a win on April 13 over
