Best Underdog Wins in MMA

Posted on July 1, 2021 by A. J. Riot

There are very few things in the world of sport that are better than the underdog winning. The underdog winning is always a possibility and something many find exciting with the potential to upset the odds, which heightens the affair.

Backing the underdog is not always the worst choice either, they are usually the ones with nothing to lose, with all the pressure on their bigger, more popular opponent. Here are some of the best underdog victories in the world of MMA.

Nate Diaz beats Conor McGregor

Just coming off the back of his 13 second knockout against Jose Aldo at UFC 195, a fight against Nate Diaz looked easier in a way for the Irishman. This couldn’t have been further from the truth, Nate came out swinging and took Notorious to his limits really quickly.

McGregor was nowhere for most of the fight, and when Diaz locked in a rear naked choke at the 4:12 mark in the second round, it was over. Not only did Diaz beat McGregor on his Welterweight debut, but he ended a 15-fight winning streak for the Irishman.

Five Things You Probably Didn’t Know About UFC’s Israel Adesanya

Posted on June 18, 2021 by A. J. Riot

Nigerian-born New Zealand resident Israel Adesanya is one of the more popular UFC faces in recent years. Izzy, or The Stylebender as he is famously called, actually began his career as a kickboxer before switching to the MMA in 2012, and it has been a joyful ride so far.

Twenty-two fights and just a loss in three years is an incredible feat for any MMA fighter, and Izzy is a popular choice for punters at UFC betting websites. The undisputed Welterweight Champion recently defeated Vettori in a unanimous decision to defend his crown, to stay unbeaten in the Middleweight Division. The Stylebender’s only loss in the UFC came in March when he tried his hands at the Light Heavyweight division.

Before making his UFC debut, Adesanya was a kickboxer and featured in several high-ranking tournaments, including the Kulun Fight, Glory Championship, Wu Lin Feng, and King In The Ring. Adesanya entered the ring on 80 occasions as a professional kickboxer, winning 75 of those and losing five times, while his amateur career records stand at 32-0.

Izzy picked up interest in martial arts early on, holding several belts in Jiu-jitsu, boxing, and kickboxing. The UFC fighter was bullied during his high school years and seemed to have channeled this into his unrelenting fighting style.

In this article by our sport betting expert Evelyn Balyton, we look at five things you probably didn’t know about the UFC Middleweight Champion. Keep Reading
