Video: Who saw their stock drop at Bellator 289 and UFC 282?

"

There were plenty of interesting results in the MMA world this past Friday and Saturday.

At Bellator 289 in Connecticut, the promotion’s final event of the year, interim bantamweight champion Raufeon Stots punched his ticket to the tournament final with a split decision win over the brash Danny Sabatello – but with a controversial score.

Plus, Liz Carmouche beat former champion Juliana Velasquez for a second straight time, Patchy Mix put Magomed Magomedov to sleep to reach the tournament final vs. Stots, and 15-1 favorite Pat Downey got knocked cold by relative unknown Christian Echols.

At UFC 282 in Las Vegas on Saturday, the main event vacant light heavyweight title fight ended in a split draw between former champ Jan Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev. Now a new vacant title fight has been made between former champ Glover Teixeira and Jamahal Hill in Brazil next month.

And in the co-feature, Paddy Pimblett beat Jared Gordon by unanimous decision, but it’s a decision that has become an instant all-time robbery candidate in the MMA world. That controvery came after 10 straight stoppages, including when Darren Till lost to Dricus Du Plessis.

Our “Spinning Back Clique” panel of Brian “Goze” Garcia, Mike Bohn and Farah Hannoun give their thoughts with host “Gorgeous” George Garcia. You can watch their discussion in the video above.

Max Holloway’s coach breaks down matchup against ‘oversized bantamweight’ Ilia Topuria

Max Holloway’s coach believes Ilia Topuria’s style works in their favor. Holloway (26-7 MMA, 22-7 UFC) captured the BMF title with a last-second knockout of Justin Gaethje in their lightweight bout at UFC 300.
