Farid Basharat refused to pull out of his fight on The Contender Series and he ended up earning his UFC contract with an injury he later learned was ...

“I was moving around with Javid — and this is funny actually, it was Wednesday and Javid was doing his stuff in the cage at the P.I. I would if I could but my arm is just giving out, it’s too painful.’ He goes, ‘No, you’re just being a wuss!’ Then a couple of weeks later, I get an MRI. I said, ‘OK, let me just get my weight down first.’ I got on the treadmill for an hour, ran, and then I went to the P.I. “I did a crazy long warmup, and then even in Round 1, it was still sore. Afterward, Basharat immediately shifted his attention towards his brother Javid, who was already competing in the UFC with his next fight booked just a few days later. Then he kind of takes me down and I could have posted out but I just fell on my back. “Not for a second did I think I was going to pull out of the fight,” Basharat said. There was no way in hell I was going to get rejected from achieving my goal, from achieving my dream of getting that contract. “I was worried about how I’m going to make weight. And then on my first spar back, it was that spar — I was doing great, it’s the first round and I get taken down, and as I post out, my arm just locks up completely and just cracks. Originally signed to debut on Contender Series this past July, Basharat was pulled from his scheduled appearance after his opponent William Souza failed to make weight and the bout was scrapped. Because I had a multitude of different issues — a chest infection, and I couldn’t spar for a while.

Register for free to Reuters and know the full story An errant spinning kick from Shevchenko paved the way for Grasso to expertly take her back and lock in a rear naked choke to finish the bout, ending one of the most dominant title reigns in UFC history. Former light heavyweight champion Jones, who last fought in 2020, moved up a division for his heavyweight debut against Gane and needed less than three minutes to become the eighth fighter in UFC history to win titles in two divisions.

The Mexican fighter was a huge underdog coming into the fight before securing the rear-naked choke in the fourth round.

"It was the training," Grasso said. Shevchenko, whose win streak was snapped at nine, suffered her first defeat since a disputed split decision against Amanda Nunes in their 2017 rematch for the bantamweight title. Grasso ducked in to instantly take Shevchenko's back while securing a rear-naked choke as the two fell to the ground. "This is kind of what is happening in mixed martial arts. Shevchenko's incredible flyweight title reign, which began in 2018 with a decision win over Joanna Jedrzejczyk for the vacant title, reached a UFC female record of seven title defenses. "I have dreamed of this moment for so long."

Mixed martial arts legend Jon Jones scored a stunning first-round victory over France's Ciryl Gane to claim the vacant UFC heavyweight crown on Saturday.

“This is the first real loss I’ve had… “But the biggest thing is I’m angry about myself. Me and my team take him very, very seriously. “Disappointed of course,” Gane said. “You know a lot of people thought I was never coming back. “With kickboxers you never know -– he zigs, I zag.

"I actually felt a little goofy on the feet, it's been a while. What happens next will depend on his ability to keep himself on the right track. I've been wrestling since I was 12 years old and I feel stronger and more comfortable, especially on the ground than ever," Jones said.

“My whole world is going to be focused on him,” Jones said. Some of my best performances are going to be coming in the next few years.” “This is the biggest opportunity in my life to beat the heavyweight GOAT and I’m going to give it everything I’ve got.”

LAS VEGAS—Jon Jones ended a three-year sabbatical from the UFC, moved up to its highest weight class and then left no doubt Saturday night about his place ...

“This one is a win lost. “This one is so painful,” Gane said. “I had to show up and get (Gane) down to the ground,” Jones said. The former light heavyweight champion said it was important to cement in his own mind that he deserved the honor as the greatest ever. UFC President Dana White said the gate was $12.5 million, the highest for a heavyweight match and the fourth-highest ever. I’ve been faithful to my goal, faithful to my mission.”

Jones cemented himself as the best MMA fighter of all time while Grasso authored the latest wild upset in a title fight.

Still, it's hard to see the fight being overturned and a rematch with Pickett is a waste of everyone involved's time. Given how pivotal the takedown was to Nickal's gameplan, it's understandable that Pickett's manager is To be fair, before the first minute was up, Nickal was already fishing for a submission finish. A fight with Covington is a test with a far higher difficulty but it'd be better to see Rakhmonov advancing up the ranks quickly than getting stuck fighting middle-of-the-road contenders for the next few years. But Grasso took advantage of a split-second opportunity, latching onto Shevchenko's back after the champion missed a spinning kick and immediately taking the fight to the floor and locking in the choke, snapping a nine-fight winning streak for Shevchenko that included seven successful title defenses. Shevchenko will certainly be given an immediate rematch, which will force Grasso to prove the win was not a fluke. The UFC 285 main card opened with several fights featuring heavily-hyped prospects getting a chance to shine on the big stage. But mixed martial arts is a volatile sport with so many paths to victory that it is almost a guarantee that defeat will eventually find even the greatest fighters. While there was plenty of talk about how dangerous an opponent Gane was, the reality is that a properly motivated Jones will always be a nightmare for someone with Gane's grappling deficiencies. Jones' greatness was on full display, taking just over two minutes to force Gane to tap out and winning a title in the second weight class in his career. Jones winning changed the heavyweight division in a massive way and could spark big returns for the UFC's overall business, but Grasso snatching the title from Shevchenko was far more shocking. That said, Jones secured his place as MMA's "GOAT" on Saturday night by not only finally moving to heavyweight, but making incredibly easy work of Gane, a proven and capable top-tier heavyweight.

Following UFC 285, a bummed-out Ciryl Gane explained why he considers his UFC 285 fight vs. Jon Jones the first real loss of his career.

Alexa Grasso became the third Mexican UFC champion of 2023 on Saturday after completing a massive upset against Valentina Shevchenko.

This is part of the game. Grasso took advantage of the mistake. "This is what happens in mixed martial arts," Shevchenko said.
