Off the back of a stellar performance at UFC 289 over the course of the weekend, former undisputed lightweight champion, Charles Oliveira has urged arch-rival and current titleholder, Islam Makhachev to secure a rematch with him on enemy territory in Brazil.

Oliveira, the current #1 ranked lightweight contender, co-headlined UFC 289 over the course of the weekend in Vancouver, Canada – returning to the winner’s enclosure in a one-sided opening round ground strikes TKO win over the streaking, Beneil Dariush in ‘The Great White North’.

As for Makhachev, the Russian standout managed to successfully land the vacant lightweight title against Charles Oliveira at UFC 280 back in October of last year in Abu Dhabi, UAE – submitting the Sao Paulo grappler with a stunning second round arm-triangle submission win.

Returning to the Octagon back in February in the main event of UFC 284 in Perth, Australia – Makhachev managed to land a unanimous decision win over featherweight champion, Alexander Volkanovski, narrowly defeating the Australian over the course of five rounds.

Charles Oliveira has been backed to rematch Islam Makhachev later this year

Reminding Oliveira of the outcome from their matchup last year, Makhachev, who is earmarked to headline UFC 294 in October in the Middle East again – has been tied to a rematch with the former following his win at UFC 289 over Dariush.

Suggesting a return to his native Sao Paulo this November – as part of a card which is currently targeted to feature a heavyweight headliner between Jailton Almeida and Curtis Blaydes, Oliveira urged Makhachev to meet him in his native Brazil.

“When I was the champion, I went to defend my title in his land (sic),” Charles Oliveira told MMA Fighting’s podcast, Trocacao Franca during a recent interview. “He (Islam Makhachev) said at the press conference he wanted to fight in Brazil, so why don’t he come fight in November in Brazil?”

Cody Stamann is more than prepared for a hostile reception when he faces off against Luan Lacerda at UFC 283 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Stamann, a veteran of the UFC’s bantamweight division, is set to make the trip over to Brazil in the UFC’s first return to the country since the Covid-19 pandemic. He takes on a promotion newcomer, Luan Lacerda, who made his name competing on regional shows such as LFA and Shooto Brazil.

Brazil is notorious enemy territory for any fighter coming up against a home-crowd favorite, and Stamann is ready for the hostile reception. In a recent interview with Alex Behunin of LowKickMMA, ‘The Spartan’ addressed the potential fan reaction he may receive from the Brazilian crowd, embracing the impending hostilities:

“I’ve been there before. I know what they’re gonna chant. Everybody’s going to be throwing beer at you, treating you like absolute dog s**t, and I’m excited for it. I’ve never really been in that atmosphere outside of wrestling, where you’ve got the student section that’s kinda s**ting on you, and I always loved that. I look forward to it. Everyone else was quiet and miserable on the bus ride, and I was pumped. I couldn’t wait to flip everybody off. I feel like I’m ready to do that in Brazil.”

I don’t think I’m going to go full Colby Covington, but I’mma go like halfway. I’m not gonna disrespect the Brazilian people, but I’mma disrespect Luan.”

"I'm don't think I'm going to go full Colby Covington, but I'm go like half way."

Cody Stamann references Colby Covington’s notorious ‘Brazil is a dump’ speech

What Cody Stamann is appertaining to in the above quote is Colby Covington’s infamous post-fight speech he gave after claiming a unanimous decision victory over the Brazilian grappling phenom Demian Maia, in Brazil.

“I should’ve knocked him (Demian Maia) out. Brazil, you’re a dump, all you filthy animals suck!” Covington screamed into the mic, before going on to call out the welterweight champion at the time: Tyron Woodley.

This speech, whilst extremely distasteful, did serve as a catalyst to save Colby Covington’s UFC career. It may also serve as some indication as to the emotions non-native fighters are going through when competing against Brazilian fighters and their passionate fans.

Taking place in Brazil this weekend is UFC Fight Night 100. The card features a host of homegrown talent, as Antonio Rogerio Nogueira faces Ryan Bader in the main event. ‘Darth’ shocked us all in his last fight, as he completely destroyed Ilir Latifi with a huge knee. ‘Lil Nog’ starched Pat Cummins at UFC 198, and looks to make it two in a row against Bader. The co-main event features bantamweight prospect Thomas Almeida, as he takes on the undefeated Albert Morales. Almeida had his huge win streak snapped by Cody Garbrandt in his last bout, and will hope to get things back on track against the far less experienced Morales.

Feisty women’s strawweight contender Claudia Gadelha will battle Cortney Casey, with her second loss to Joanna Jedrzejczyk still fresh. ‘Claudinha’ faces ‘Cast Iron’ Casey, who is coming off two straight wins.

Dana White Slams Roy Nelson After Referee Kick In Brazil

UFC heavyweight Roy Nelson has always had a rocky relationship with Dana White. Since winning The Ultimate Fighter season 10, ‘Big Country’ has compiled a promotional record of 9-9. Nelson holds eight UFC knockouts to his credit, and has been finished just once in his UFC career. The dangerous one-punch knockout artists has often come

The post Dana White Slams Roy Nelson After Referee Kick In Brazil appeared first on LowKick MMA.

Nelson once referred to White as the ‘woman of their relationship,’ during a humorous rant. Dana did not find the comments so funny, and thus a rift began to form between them. Nelson’s actions in Brazil this past weekend have certainly rocked the boat a little more. ‘Big Country’ scored a trademark knockout finish over Antonio Silva at UFC Brasilia, but his outburst following the fight was far more shocking. Feeling the referee John McCarthy had let ‘Bigfoot’ absorb too much punishment, Nelson let his feelings air with a boot to the butt of ‘Big John.’

Nelson Goes Nuts

After starching Antonio Silva, then kicking and flipping off John McCarthy, Roy Nelson was apologetic and nonchalant at the same time. With all the news of Conor McGregor and Eddie Alvarez floating around, UFC president Dana White has been oddly quiet about this dramatic outburst in Brazil. Speaking with Matt Serra and Jim Norton, White says Nelson should be buried for his actions towards McCarthy:

“You can’t apologize for that. You don’t ever put your fucking hands on a referee. There’s absolutely no fucking excuse. He needs to be buried. (Nelson) went over there and put his foot on (John’s) ass to push or whatever. He was yelling and flipping him off. There’s never, ever any situation where you put your hands on a referee. He can’t apologize. We’ll see how the athletic commission handles it, but he needs to get buried for that one. I haven’t seen what’s gone on, but if the Brazilian athletic commission doesn’t rain down on him, that’s not good. Referees are there for your safety. You’re a fighter, you go until the referee tells you to stop. That referee has been here a lot longer than fucking Roy Nelson has. It’s despicable, it’s disgusting, it can never happen again.”

It’s not only Dana White that Roy Nelson has to worry about either, as the Brazilian courts are going to have a pop too. Check out this latest update H/T Milan Ordoñez of Bloody Elbow:

Nelson vs. The Courts

“Even though CABMMA understands Roy Nelson’s ‘frustration’ in that situation due to his close relationship with his opponent, that does not justify his act and can open a serious and dangerous precedent in the sport. We, as the regulation body of MMA in Brazil and member of the Association of Boxing Commissions, will not tolerate such conduct.

“All the licensed professionals involved have to act accordingly, respecting the rules, commission, promoter and fans, where unsportsmanlike behavior will be subject to fines and suspensions.”

Ed Note

Talking of dangerous and somewhat unregulated behaviour, isn’t Cris Cyborg’s 30-pound weight cut a little more hazardous than Nelson’s butt kicking? Also, didn’t the CABMMA allow Cyborg to weigh in 0.5 pounds over the limit?

Cris Cyborg Challenges Ronda Rousey To Make 140 Pounds

The post Cris Cyborg Challenges Ronda Rousey To Make 140 Pounds appeared first on LowKick MMA.

One of the most dangerous fighters in women’s MMA history, Cris Cyborg Justino returned to action last night. Fighting in the main event of Saturday September 24’s UFC Fight Night 95, Cyborg put on a show. Cruising to a second round TKO against Lansberg in Brazil further proved Cris Cyborg’s status, but also leads to more questions. Currently the Invicta FC featherweight champion, Justino finds herself in an odd position in terms of weight. Her brutal cut to 140 pounds has been well documented, and there’s no sign of a 145-pound division in the UFC’s near future.

Cybrog’s long-standing rivalry with Ronda Rousey has always been hindered by weight related issues. Killing herself to make catchweight of 140 pounds is hard enough, and it’s obvious that bantamweight is simply impossible. Following her win in Brasilia, Justino spoke at the post-fight press conference to address the issues surrounding her weight cut and her potential clash with ‘Rowdy.’

Cyborg (Still) Wants Super Fights

“I’m willing to cry to make 140 pounds. I want the super fights for my fans. I never picked a fight, but I want to fight the women’s bantamweights. I will cut down to 140, but I don’t think they will go up to the catchweight.”

“I hope (they) can eat pizza and go up to 140. I hope we can make the fight everybody wants to see, and that’s me and Ronda (Rousey). I’m very happy with my performance, it’s been tough, I fought in May and now I just fought again. I’m thinking of a vacation now, and then I want super fights. I think my fights will go down in history.”

What’s Next?

With Ronda Rousey’s rumoured return at UFC 207 against Amanda Nunes, Cris Cyborg could easily miss out on fighting her rival in 2016. The lack of the women’s featherweight category in the UFC also plays against the Brazilian KO artist. If one thing is for sure, it’s that nothing is for sure in terms of Cyborg’s future.

Will Ronda be willing to eat pizza and fight at 140?
