Once again, we find ourselves south of the border for a UFC event. No, it’s not Mexico. The organization has only done that once, and on the whole that pay-per-view was pretty underwhelming. This time, it’s Brazil, the setting for UFC Fight Night 77. The fans are truly in for a treat, too. Not only do they get to see one of their own legends in the main event, but they also get to see him square him off against a fellow legend.
Brazilian favorite Vitor Belfort looks to rebound from his loss against UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman by taking on Dan Henderson, who might be in the midst of a career renaissance after enjoying a first-round knockout victory over Tim Boetsch in his last fight. These two MMA mainstays have squared off twice before, most recently in 2013 (and in Brazil, no less). It took Belfort barely more than a minute to knock out Henderson that time, though many naysayers will point out that Belfort was aided by testosterone-replacement therapy, which has sin

On paper, these numbers represent the record of Efrain Escudero’s progression through the sport of professional mixed martial arts… Sort of.
At 12-0, Escudero was the lightweight winner of
The Ultimate Fighter Season 8, was 2-0 in the Octagon, had finished all but two of his opponents, and had a very notable first-round TKO of Cole Miller. By the fall of 2009, he was a young, motivated and streaking up-and-comer with a bright future. The next few years had a completely different look.
By May 2013, the native of Sonora, Mexico, aptly nicknamed “Hecho in Mexico,” had been through a turbulent period in his career, bringing his record to 18-7. After his 2-0 start in the UFC, Escudero lost two of his next three UFC fights and was released from the UFC. He bounced back with a 5-1 run, but then dropped four in a row, including his UFC return and re-release. This was a rough time in his career, but it is imp
MexicoArizonaUnited-statesHechoSonoraBrasiliaDistrito-federalBrazilSwedenNova-uniaoParanarMexicanMatt Wiman has announced his retirement from mixed martial arts after a tough, knockout loss and his exit from the UFC roster.
Wiman, 37, returned to action at UFC Vegas 16 last Saturday, when he found himself on the wrong end of a viral, slam-induced knockout in a fight with rising prospect Jordan Leavitt. The loss pushed him onto a three-fight losing-streak, and also marked the final obligation on his latest UFC contract. He did not sign a new deal with the promotion, and will instead be hanging up his gloves for good.
Wiman confirmed his retirement to MMA Fighting.
“To be clear, I wasn’t cut, I wasn’t released,” Wiman said via text message. “This was my last fight on my latest contract, and we mutually decided I can fight it out and go from there. I decided to retire shortly after the bout.
