Joe Rogan says Joe Pyfer hits harder than Francis Ngannou

Of all the people you’d suspect of hitting harder than Francis Ngannou, middleweight prospect Joe Pyfer probably wasn’t one of them.

During a recent episode of his popular podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, the long-time UFC commentator revealed that Pyfer broke the former heavyweight champion’s record on a punch machine an incredible three times.

“That motherf*cker hits so hard,” Rogan said of Pyfer. “We should tell everybody that he broke Francis Ngannou’s record on that punch machine”.

However, according to Rogan’s guest, Sean Brady, the owner of the machine did not want to give Joe Pyfer the record because he “didn’t believe how hard he [Pyfer] was hitting it.”

“He didn’t believe it was real,” Brady said.

In 2018, Ngannou put his power to the test on a PowerKube punch machine. The Cameroonian registered a strike power of 129,161 units.

“Francis Ngannou has the world record for the most powerful punch, his punch is the equivalent to 96 horsepower which is equal to getting hit by a Ford Escort going as fast as it can,” Dana White said of his former fighter. “And it’s more powerful than a 12-pound sledgehammer swung full force from overhead. Holy sh*t!”

Joe Pyfer Goes for his fourth-straight UFC win

We’re not sure if Joe Pyfer can hit with the same power as a speeding automobile, but he’s certainly made a case for himself after scoring impressive back-to-back first-round knockouts against Alen Amedovski and Gerald Meerschaert. He followed up those wins up with a submission victory over Abdul Razak Alhassan in October.

Pyfer returns to the Octagon in February for a clash with Jack Hermansson.

UFC Austin Winner Sean Brady Believes ‘Wack’ Ian Garry is the ‘Easiest fight’ in the welterweight division

You can add Sean Brady to the growing list of fighters who are tired of Ian Garry’s bullsh*t.

Making his first appearance inside the Octagon in more than a year, Brady bounced back from his first career loss with a dominant performance against former interim title contender Kelvin Gastelum. After submitting the TUF alumnus with a kimura in the third round, Brady called for a clash with rising welterweight contender Ian Garry during his Octagon interview.

Brady elaborated on his comments during his appearance at the post-fight press event, making it abundantly clear that his callout of ‘The Future’ was a bit of business and a lot of personal.

“Just the way he went about his whole thing with his team, it rubbed me the wrong way. He rubs the sport the wrong way,” Brady said. “I’m a true professional in the sport, and I just don’t like the way he walks around with the cameras and goes into the gym- he’s getting kicked out of Leon Edwards’ gym. Like he’s just always talking sh*t about people, and it’s wack. I think he’s wack, and I’ll ragdoll him. I think he’s the easiest fight in the division.”

Sean Brady doesn’t see Ian Garry getting past vicente luque

Before Garry and his wife were getting slammed by middleweight champ Sean Strickland, ‘The Future’ was reportedly booted from Team Renegade, the gym that hosts current welterweight titleholder Leon Edwards. Garry initially placed the blame squarely on Edwards’ shoulders by suggesting that ‘Rocky’ is “weak-minded” and afraid of a little competition on the mats.

Representatives with Team Renegade disputed those comments, saying that Garry was “not adding to the team’s culture.”

‘The Future’ will return to the Octagon on December 16 for a showdown with No. 8 ranked contender Vicente Luque. If Garry manages to get past Luque at the UFC’s final pay-per-view of the year, Sean Brady would love the opportunity to quiet the Irishman himself.

“If he can get through Vicente Luque, which I don’t think he will, because Luque is an amazing fighter. I heard they’re coming to Atlantic City in March. So we’ll see…if he wants to get into it on social media, it is what it is. But when we get into that cage, I’m going to do the same thing that I just did to Kelvin to him” (h/t MMA Mania).”

Welterweight standout Sean Brady got back into the win column in a big way at UFC Austin on Saturday night.

More than a year removed from the first loss of his mixed martial arts career, Brady delivered a dominant performance against former UFC interim title challenger Kelvin Gastelum. The TUF alumnus had no answer to Brady’s perfectly-timed takedowns which kept Gastelum in a compromising position for a majority of the contest.

In the third round, Brady scored yet another takedown in the opening seconds and quickly moved into mount. Fishing for an arm triangle, Gastelum worked his way out of the hold but gave up his arm in the process which allowed Brady to snatch the limb and lock in an armbar that forced Gastelum to tap out.

Official Result: Sean Brady def. Kelvin Gastelum via submission (armbar) at 1:43 of Round 3.

Jack Della Maddalena

An intense banger is coming to the UFC’s welterweight division as Jack Della Maddalena and Sean Brady have agreed to throw down at UFC 290 on July 8th in Las Vegas.

As confirmed by MMA Fighting after an initial Twitter report, this welterweight scrap seems to be signed, sealed, and ready to deliver some explosive fireworks.

JDM is riding an impressive four-fight win streak, all via finishes after originally breaking into the UFC thanks to a shot on Dana White‘s Contender Series back in 2021. For Sean Brady, this will be his redemption fight as the previously undefeated prospect suffered the first loss in his professional career at the hands of Belal Muhammad back in October of 2022.

Jack Della Maddalena and Sean Brady are set for what could be a potential Fight of The Year contender at UFC 290

Jack Della Maddalena and Brady are set to join a PPV card that is looking to be a night of amazing fights. Alexander Volkanovski and Yair Rodriguez are set to headline the card. Rodriguez will be looking to end Volkanovski’s flawless reign as champion at UFC 290 and unify the interim and undisputed championships.

The co-main will feature the always-exciting Brandon Moreno as he’ll attempt to defend his flyweight title against what many would call the dark horse of the division: Alexandre Pantoja.

Bo Nickal makes a return, and he’s going to be taking on a very serious opponent. Tresean Gore is a young up-and-comer with a hard past and a family to fight for. Both fighters are known for their heart and ability, but will Nickal make easy work of Gore as he did with his last opponent Jamie Pickett?

There will be many stars, young and old, on this card, and UFC 290 is certainly shaping up to be a tremendous event. For a full view of the fights to come, check out the full list of fights below. The order of bouts may change, and some fights may fall off or get added to the card as we draw closer and closer to the event.

  • Alexander Volkanovski  vs.  Yair Rodriguez: Featherweight title fight
  • Brandon Moreno  vs.  Alexandre Pantoja: Flyweight title fight
  • Bo Nickal  vs.  Tresean Gore: Middleweight bout
  • Deiveson Figueiredo  vs.  Manel Kape: Flyweight bout
  • Robert Whittaker  vs.  Dricus Du Plessis: Middleweight bout
  • Robbie Lawler  vs.  Niko Price: Welterweight bout
  • Dan Hooker  vs.  Jalin Turner: Lightweight bout
  • Sean Brady  vs.  Jack Della Maddalena: Welterweight bout

UFC welterweight Michel Pereira details sparring reigning heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou.

Michel Pereira is scheduled to face fellow top 15 170lber’, Sean Brady, in March of next year. For his upcoming training camp, the Brazilian will be training at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas. Many notable names either train at Xtreme Couture, such as Sean Strickland and Chris Curtis, but the gym is also home to the world’s baddest man, Francis Ngannou.

As part of training, Pereira revealed to Sherdog.com that he shared sparring rounds with ‘The Predator’, comparing Ngannou’s size to that of a fridge.

“In one of the first sparrings I did there, the coach told everybody to pair up. Since I was just arriving and didn’t know anybody, everybody was already paired up,” Pereira said. “I looked on both sides and there was only one partner left: Francis Ngannou. Oh my God. It looked like I was grappling with a refrigerator. The guy threw me to one side and another like I was a toy. I got a stiff neck for one week.”

Michel Pereira vs. Sean Brady

Michel Pereira has the opportunity to break into the UFC’s top 15 should he get passed the grappling-heavy approach of Brady. ‘Demolidor’ would reveal that he desperately tried to get onto the upcoming UFC Rio card, but instead would settle for the No.11 ranked Brady, whom he admits he knows little about.

“I thought that my hard time finding opponents was due to the fact that I was out of the rankings, but that was a huge mistake“, Pereira said. “[UFC matchmaker Sean] Shelby did everything he could to find me someone to face at UFC Rio, but nobody wanted to fight me. I was really mad until the UFC came with the name of Sean Brady, and it looks like we will fight on March 25.“

“All I know is that he is a wrestler. I saw his fight with Belal [Muhammad], but I don’t know much about him,” (H/T Sherdog.com)

Pereria is currently riding a five-fight win streak, holding wins over names such as Khaos Williams, Andre Fialho and Santiago Ponzinibbio.
