It was a tough night at the office this past weekend for UFC flyweight contender Cody Durden, who was left with significant damage courtesy of teammate Bruno Silva’s hands.

The two American Top Team standouts collided on the main card of Saturday’s UFC Fight Night at the Apex in Las Vegas, doing away with their shared training ground allegiance in pursuit of a climb up the 125-pound ladder.

It was ultimately the Brazilian who advanced his ambitions, likely securing a ranking by knocking Durden out in comeback fashion to extend his win streak on mixed martial arts’ biggest stage to four.

The finish came midway through round two, at a time when the American appeared in control and en route to bouncing back from his submission defeat to Tagir Ulanbekov last December. But that all changed when a vicious uppercut sent his mouthpiece flying and body to the canvas.

“Bulldog” subsequently pounced on his stricken opponent, laying down brutal ground-and-pound before referee Chris Tognoni intervened to save a bloodied Durden from further damage.

Durden Gets Fixed Up After Tough Knockout Defeat At UFC Fight Night

Having eaten one of the most devastating uppercuts in recent memory in addition to multiple shots on the ground, Durden was unsurprisingly left with some notable blemishes to his face, including a nasty cut under his right eye.

He gave fans a glimpse into the medical process post-fight, posting a video of the cut being stitched up by medical personnel on social media.

“Fight game crazy.”

In another post, Durden thanked the UFC and the medical team behind the scenes for fixing him up, before putting his name in matchmaker Mick Maynard’s hat for any short-notice opportunities.

“The @ufc is the best promotion in the world. They took great care of me behind the scenes. Roger, Rambo, Shay, Sarah, Justin, Heather, Dr. Davis, and many more!Thank you! I’m taking one week off, getting these stitches out and I’ll put my name in when someone pulls @Mickmaynard2”

Welcome to MMA News Today, a daily feature running down the most interesting stories in the world of mixed martial arts. For July 22, 2024, we’re taking a look at:

  • Loughran is happy to be fighting Hadley instead
  • Paul taunts Perry with shot-by-shot comparison

Caolan Loughran Says Jake Hadley Is A Perfect Replacement Opponent At UFC 304

Just one week out from UFC 304 this Saturday, Ireland’s Caolan Loughran had his fight and opponent switched around on short notice.

Loughran was announced to be fighting UFC flyweight contender Jake Hadley after his previous opponent Ramon Taveras was declared injured and unable to make July 27.

Though having a chance of opponents one week out from fight night is never ideal, “The Don” is very happy with his new fight.

As well as the fact that he had been preparing to fight a southpaw which both Hadley and Taveras are, this England vs Ireland fight between two former Cage Warriors champions is sure to get the Manchester fans excited.

Loughran spoke in an interview with Violent Money TV about how this fight ended up working out pretty well in his favour after all.

“I was like f*** me, unbelievable. That’s a bigger fight domestically, going to have more buzz. He’s also a southpaw as we were preparing for. F****** let’s go, let’s do it, that’s what I was thinking.

I actually get on alright with Hadley. Fair f****** respect to him for taking the fight, I didn’t have a fight there for like a day and I don’t know what the f*** was going on. I wanted to be on this card so fighters fight innit, fair f****** play to him but like I say, I half get on with the guy but I don’t need beef this time. This fight is going to be big anyway.”    

Jake Paul Shares Comparison Photo Of Mike Perry’s Custom Chain After Stopping Him

Jake Paul added to his current winning streak this past weekend when he stopped Mike Perry in the sixth round where his size and power was simply too much for the ‘King of Violence’.

After the fight, “Platinum” tipped his hat to his opponent, putting out the following message on social media to show his appreciation to the fans for their support.

“Congrats @jakepaul , shout out to @NateDiaz209 who went 10 rounds with him. Thanks to everyone who came out.”

Paul, on the other hand, was not so humble in victory as he chose to readdress a certain aspect of the build to the fight.

Perry had worn a custom chain of Paul’s head with blood and bruises all over his face which “The Problem Child” shared after the bout next to a photo of Perry’s face being in a similar position.

VIDEO: Cody Durden Shows Himself Getting Substantial Stitches After Ruthless Loss To Bruno Silva

Cody Durden gave fight fans a glimpse into what happens once a fighter exits the Octagon following his loss this past weekend at the Apex.

Durden was stopped in the second round following a devastating uppercut from Bruno Silva which was followed up on until referee Chris Tognoni waved the fight off.

The flyweight contender was left wearing some significant damage on his face as a result and decided to shine a spotlight on a side to the game that many don’t see.

Posting on X, Durden shared a video of himself getting stitches from medical personnel during his post-fight medical.

Cody Durden Muhammad Mokaev

Muhammad Mokaev has gotten his wish.

Mokaev, a highly-touted prospect, signed with the UFC just a few weeks ago and after Cody Durden said he was sending Aoriqileng back to China, Mokaev took to social media saying he wanted to fight the “racist” and smash him in his UFC debut.

Now, according to MMAJunkie, Mokaev vs. Durden is set to take place on March 19 which is targeted to be a UFC London card. Mokaev has since confirmed the fight on social media.

Muhammad Mokaev (5-0 and one No Contest) is just 21-years-old and coming off a second-round submission win over Blaine O’Driscoll at BRAVE CF 54 in September. He’s the former IMAAF bantamweight champion and also holds a notable win over Abdul Hussein. Mokaev was born in Dagestan but trains in England now, so this will also be a homecoming fight for him.

Cody Durden (12-3-1) picked up his first UFC win back at UFC Vegas 43 where he edged out a close decision over Aoriqileng. After the win, the comments he made were not well received as several fighters called him out for being racist, along with Daniel Cormier ending the post-fight interview. In the UFC, he was submitted by Jimmy Flick and in his debut, he fought Chris Gutierrez to a draw.

With the addition of Mokaev vs. Durden at flyweight, the March 19 card is as follows:

  • Francisco Figueiredo vs. Jake Hadley
  • Luana Carolina vs. Molly McCann
  • Cody Durden vs. Muhammad Mokaev

Who do you think will win, Muhammad Mokaev vs. Cody Durden?

Aoriqileng Brands Cody Durden A Coward After “Back to China” Comment

UFC flyweight Aoriqileng has responded to the controversial comment aimed at him by opponent Cody Durden following their fight this past weekend.

Aoriqileng, Cody Durden

UFC flyweight Aoriqileng has responded to the controversial comment aimed at him by opponent Cody Durden following their fight this past weekend.

Aoriqileng and Durden squared off inside the Octagon in the third bout of UFC Vegas 43 on Saturday. In a contest where neither man impressed, the American emerged victorious on the judges’ scorecards, a decision which many disagreed with. But the real talking point came in the immediate aftermath of the result.

During his post-fight interview with Daniel Cormier, Durden first called on fans to follow him on Instagram. He then appeared to kill any chance he had of building some support by admitting he wanted to send Aoriqileng “back to China.”

Aoriqileng Fires Back After “Disgusting” Remark

The comment received an immediate gasp from the small crowd in attendance at the Apex, and was subject to a rightfully large dose of scrutiny over social media, with fans and fighters alike describing Durden as racist and xenophobic. The 30-year-old’s response did little to convince people otherwise.

Durden essentially put his comment down to the fact he believed Aoriqileng had been “disrespectful” by not shaking his hand at the weigh-ins. Now days out from the controversial incident, “The Mongolian Murderer” has fired back at his flyweight peer. Taking to Instagram, the 28-year-old claimed he was the true victor and slammed Durden for his “disgusting” words.

“I destroyed this coward in the cage, but the judges gave him a chance to say something disgusting through his disgusting mouth. He can do nothing in the fight, and I saw fear through his eyes. He is a coward.”

While the likes of Din Thomas, UFC women’s flyweight Casey O’Neill, and welterweight contender Belal Muhammad made their disdain for Durden known, some expressed their willingness to teach the Georgia native a lesson inside the cage.

After being called out by Durden prior to the controversial comment, Jeff Molina described the 30-year-old as a “POS (piece of shit)” and said he’d be more than happy to punch him in the face. New UFC signing Muhammad Mokaev also expressed his desire to make himself known to UFC fans by giving a beating to Durden in his Octagon debut.

What did you make of Cody Durden’s comment and his subsequent non-apology?

UFC flyweight Aoriqileng wasn’t happy when he heard Cody Durden telling him to ‘go back to China’ during his UFC Vegas 43 post-fight interview.

Durden defeated Aoriqileng in a back-and-forth bout at UFC Vegas 43. It was the first win of Durden’s young UFC career, and Aoriqileng’s second straight loss in the Octagon.

But support for Durden quickly turned to hostile backlash after he said he had to ‘send [Aoriqileng] back to China’ when asked about his approach to the fight. UFC commentator Daniel Cormier quickly ended the post-fight interview and the UFC community roasted Durden on social media and at the UFC Apex.

Aoriqileng had been relatively quiet since the fight and post-fight comments, but he addressed Durden’s racially-charged remarks via an Instagram post.

“I destroyed this forward in the cage, but the judges gave him a chance to say something disgusting through his disgusting mouth,” Aoriqileng said. “He couldn’t do nothing in the fight, and I saw fear through his eyes. He is a coward.”

Aoriqileng Responded To Cody Durden’s ‘Go Back To China’ Post-Fight Comments

Entering his fight with Durden, Aoriqileng desperately needed a win after falling in his UFC debut to Jeff Molina at UFC 261. He has yet to pick up his first UFC win after the loss to Durden.

Before signing with the UFC, he competed in brief stints with WLF and KFWC.

In his additional post-fight media availability, Durden told reporters that he saw nothing wrong with his comments. A few hours later, he posted on his Twitter an apology to Aoriqileng and clarified that his words weren’t racially motivated.

That didn’t stop the UFC fanbase from blasting Durden for his post-fight interview. It’s unclear if he’ll receive punishment from the UFC brass and Dana White for the incident.

Do you agree with Aoriqileng on Cody Durden’s comments?
