HIGHLIGHTING HEADLINES IN MMA (AUGUST 20, 2017)

12-fight UFC veteran Sam Sicilia Newest to sign multi-fight Bellator contract

Good on him! Dropping a unanimous decision to promotional newcomer Gavin Tucker in UFC Fight Night 105 back in October, Sicilia fell to a three-fight losing skid in the UFC and obtained his pink slip from the promotion. I like he’s found a new house using Bellator, and an equally good or better cash back. Win or lose, the Washington native always shows up to fight and seems for the finish. Congratulations to Sammy Dubs because of his new arrangement, and best of luck on his new chapter.
Frank Mir agrees to deal with Bellator MMA
Nice! The UFC did exactly the ideal thing and published Mir out of his contract, which enabled Bellator to sweep him up. My guess is that they promised him a matchup from Fedor Emalianenko, which made him pick Bellator over competing promotions. I like this move by Mir and anticipate seeing him inside the Bellator cage. The Fedor matchup would certainly be an interesting one.

This was certainly some astonishing news. Two ounces is not much, but I think it makes somewhat of a difference.
Dillashaw: Mighty Mouse has been’consolation prize’
TJ Dillashaw is finally set to face UFC bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt in UFC 217 in nyc on November 4th, and the main reason this title fight is now happening is since UFC flyweight champion Demetrious”Mighty Mouse” Johnson refused to defend his title against Dillashaw if Garbrandt was forced from the UFC 209 contest because of injury. The Duane Ludwig-trained fighter understands that Johnson wasn’t confident in himself to take the challenge. Talking to MMA Junkie Radio, Dillashaw said that the Gabrandt struggle is what he wanted all along and that the Johnson matchup was only a backup program. He knows that is not a fantastic fight for him and wouldn’t accept it,” Dillashaw said. “He is real worried about this document that he needs to break. Go on and let him do that, I guess.”
White: Ferguson, Lee to struggle for interim lightweight title Alright, now we are talking! Early popular consensus is that Ferguson will handily defeat Lee, but I’m not so convinced. Lee has been quite impressive as of late, and I like seeing his growth within the Octagon. That is a matchup I’m excited about visiting, and win or lose, I hope Lee doesn’t suffer any injuries so he’ll make a quick turnaround for December’s UFC 218 in his native Detroit, that will be two weeks following the Ferguson bout.
Paulo Borrachinha Costa: ‘I Will Knock Out Johny Hendricks’

Diego Sanchez yields to welterweight, meets Matt Brown at UFC Fight Night 120
No, Diego, Nooooo!!!!! Say it is not so! Just call it stops, my dude. Hang them up gloves. It is time. You do not need to be jumping back up to 170 pounds when you’re recently analyzing the waters at 145. Do not stick around for the money, man, the brain damage won’t be worth it.
