Amanda Nunes Previews UFC 277 Return, Julianna Peña Rematch: ‘I Gotta Get My Sh*t Together’

UFC featherweight champion, Amanda Nunes has admitted that she needed to reignite a missing spark inside of her ahead of this weekend’s pivotal bantamweight title rematch against champion, Julianna Peña at UFC 277, admitting that she likely lost the hunger from years gone by. Nunes, the first female two-weight champion in the history of the […]

Nunes, the first female two-weight champion in the history of the UFC, suffered a hugely shocking, upset loss to Peña back in December in the co-main event of UFC 269, dropping her undisputed bantamweight championship courtesy of a second round rear-naked choke.

The loss snapped an undefeated run of six years and 12 straight fights for the Brazilian veteran, while she also decided to part ways from long-time home base, American Top Team in Coconut Creek, Florida – a facility she joined following her other promotional loss to Cat Zingano.

Previewing her return to the Octagon on Saturday at UFC 277 in Dallas, Texas against Peña, Nunes admitted that she got “comfortable” as the defending division champion.

“I feel like sometimes Dana (White) says something and people really pick the little parts that’s gonna make him look bad,” Amanda Nunes told ESPN MMA reporter, Marc Raimondi.

“I feel like what he says sometimes, if you’re looking that way, yeah, I got very comfortable,” Amanda Nunes continued. “And you want to enjoy your life when you do all those things that I did. I want to travel, I want to go see my family, I want to rest a little bit and then the thing is, you will slow down a little bit.

Amanda Nunes admits she took her foot off the proverbial gas pedal amid her dominant run

Nunes claimed that he dominant reign over the bantamweight and featherweight ranks likely resulted in her “slowing down” – however, she believes she has now reignited that fire with her setback against Peña.

“When you do everything that I did, one day you’re going to relax a little bit,” Amanda Nunes said. “I did so much now, I can kind of rest a little bit. I was dominating. I became double champion, killed all those girls in front of me, clean the division. So I kind of slowed down, too, yeah.”

“Until Julianna (Peña) came into the picture, now we’re here again. I’m really pumped for this fight and like Dana said, I gotta get my sh*t together. I’m fired up now.” (Transcribed by Bloody Elbow)

Leon Edwards Blasts UFC For Booking ‘F*cked Up’ Khamzat Chimaev, Nate Diaz Fight

Ahead of his upcoming welterweight title challenge rematch against Kamaru Usman, streaking division contender, Leon Edwards has described the promotion’s booking of a September main event between the undefeated, Khamzat Chimaev, and faltering veteran, Nate Diaz as “f*cked up”. Edwards, the current #2 ranked welterweight contender, is himself slated to headline UFC 278 in August […]

Edwards, the current #2 ranked welterweight contender, is himself slated to headline UFC 278 in August against soon-to-be two-time opponent, Usman – challenging for undisputed welterweight gold for the first time in his Octagon tenure.

Last time out, the Birmingham native earned his rematch against Usman back in June of last year on the main card of UFC 263, defeating Diaz with a five round unanimous decision win in the first five-round, non-title, non-headliner in Octagon antiquity.

Leon Edwards believes the UFC should have booked Nate Diaz with a fellow veteran

Set to share the Octagon with Usman in Salt Lake City next month, Edwards claimed that Diaz, who will complete his contractual obligations with the UFC following his September headliner with Chimaev, should have tackled a fellow veteran on his way out of the organization, rather than the surging, Chimaev.

“If I had to put money on it, I’d probably go Khamzat (Chimaev) but I’d love Nate (Diaz) to get it done,” Leon Edwards told assembled media at UFC London last weekend. “He’s (Nate Diaz) done so much for the company and I wish they (the UFC) gave him a veteran, a nice fight to bow out to.”

“To give an up-and-coming guy that’s had four or five fights in the UFC, and a wrestler guy as well – I think they’ve f*cked up,” Leon Edwards explained. “They should’ve gave him a better fight, but I would love Nate to get it done. As I said, if I’m a betting man, I’d probably go with Khamzat (to win).”

Undefeated in his last 10 straight fights since his 2015 decision loss to Usman, Edwards has landed a series of impressive wins against the likes of Albert Tumanov, Vicente Luque, Bryan Barberena, Donald Cerrone, Gunnar Nelson, and former lightweight champion, Rafael dos Anjos.

The second PPV of July 2022 is nearly upon us, as a stacked UFC 277 card headlined by a women’s bantamweight title rematch is set to take place at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.

An interim flyweight title fight takes the co-main spot, whilst an iconic heavyweight knockout artist faces off against a surging Russian prospect features on the main card.

However, the preliminary fights are not to be scoffed at either. Join us at LowKickMMA as we break down the UFC 277 prelims and early prelims, and hopefully make ourselves some money in the process.

Drakkar Klose ML

UFC lightweight Drakkar Klose was initially set to face off against fellow veteran Carlos Diego Ferreira in a preliminary bout at UFC 277. However, ‘CDF’ was forced to drop out due to injury, resulting in Rafa Garcia stepping in on short notice.

Klose has all the balls in his court for this fight. He has had a full training camp, whilst Garcia has only had mere weeks to prepare. Klose also has the edge in terms of octagon opposition. The 34-year-old has high-profile wins over the likes of Bobby Green, Lando Vannata and Marc Diakiese, whereas Garcia is only 2-2 inside the UFC.

Klose’s skillset set is simply too well-rounded for the comparatively inexperienced Garcia. Klose’s ML is currently priced at approx -220. However, if you wish to get slightly better odds, we would advise pairing him with Michael Morales, who is also facing an opponent stepping in on short notice.

Matthew Semelsberger ML

In the featured prelim bout of UFC 277, experienced welterweights Matthew Semelsberger and Alex Morono will throw down. Both men are very skilled, but Semelsberger will have a distinct edge in the physicality side of things.

Morono has shown time and time again that his dogged perseverance and deep understanding of the mixed martial arts can be more than enough to defeat some solid opposition, including the likes of Donald Cerrone, Mickey Gall, and David Zawada.

However, he has also crumbled when coming against superior athletes, such as Khaos Williams and Anthony Pettis. Semelsberger’s skillset may not be as deep as Morono’s, but he is a legitimate physical force when he steps inside the octagon. Morono may have extended pockets of success, but we expect the power of Semelsberger to shine through and see him rack up big point-winning moments.

There may be some value on a Semelsberger KO bet, but we will take his ML which is currently priced at around -160 at the time of writing.

Orion Cosce ML

In the early prelims of UFC 277, Orion Cosce takes on City Kickboxing prospect Blood Diamond. Cosce holds a 7-1 record, and was signed to the UFC in 2020 after finishing Matt Dixon on the contender series with a flurry of brutal ground and pound strikes from the crucifix position.

Blood Diamond made his UFC debut earlier this year at UFC 271, with much hype behind his name due to his affiliation with the likes of Israel Adesanya and the City Kickboxing team. However, it quickly became apparent that whilst Blood Diamond is a legit striker, his ground game leaves much to be desired. Jeremiah Wells made quick work of him, taking the fight to the mat and submitting him in the first round.

We believe Cosce can replicate this performance at UFC 277, and pick up a win similar to his victory on the contender series. Cosce’s ML is priced at -170 on most sportsbooks right now.

Mark O. Madsen Calls Out Paddy Pimblett, Gets Drakkar Klose’s Attention; ‘Why You Trying to Fight a Kid?’

Former Olympian turned mixed martial artist Mark O. Madsen called out Paddy Pimblett following the Liverpudlian’s second-round submission of Jordan Leavitt at UFC London but instead got the attention of Drakkar Close. Following Pimblett’s entertaining return to the O2 Arena, the Olympian attempted to capitalize on the moment, calling out ‘The Baddy’ on Twitter. “Great […]

Following Pimblett’s entertaining return to the O2 Arena, the Olympian attempted to capitalize on the moment, calling out ‘The Baddy’ on Twitter.

“Great performance by the Paddy the Fatty #UFCLondon Pick any date and I’m ready #weak #chin #weak #wrestling @AliAbdelaziz00”

Madsen’s tweet gained some attention, but it wasn’t from Paddy Pimblett. It was from fellow wrestler Drakkar Klose who questioned why Madsen was calling out Paddy Pimblett when Klose had called out ‘The Olympian’ twice with seemingly no response.

“Why you trying to fight a kid. I called you out twice but got [crickets]”

‘The Olympian’ Responds to Klose Following Callout of Paddy Pimblett

Madsen was quick to reply to Klose’s claim saying that he accepted the fight, but Klose opted to face Rafa Garcia at UFC 277 on Saturday.

“Why are you fighting Garcia. I accepted the fight @drakkarklose and you pulled out!”

Klose quickly snapped back asking refuting Madsen’s claim that he had accepted a fight between the two.

“if you accepted the fight, where was the contract? I’m the one on the card. Next time make Denmark proud and don’t duck call-outs, be a man. #thatstwice”

Madsen again responded to Klose, inviting the Michigan native to stop by the gym anytime.

“You’re 5 min away. Stop by the gym anytime. Or are you too afraid of my coaches. @TinoDeFranco @allinmma @HenryCejudo @CPTdasAmericas

While Madsen may not get his requested showdown with Paddy Pimblett, Drakkar Klose appears to be more than up for the challenge. First, Klose needs to focus on the task at hand when he steps back into the Octagon at UFC 277 on Saturday night.

Madsen last appeared at UFC 273 in April. He defeated Vinc Pichel to earn his fourth straight win under the UFC banner and his 12th straight victory overall to remain undefeated in his mixed martial arts career. Madsen earned an Olympic silver medal at the 2016 Olympic Games in Beijing while competing in the Greco-Roman 75kg class.
