BJPENN.COM News - February 18, 2014

“I don’t know if it was necessarily my Olympic success that has [played into my MMA success]. I think you can take other Olympians or Olympic medalists and sometimes that doesn’t translate into success in another sport. So I think part of it is each individual, and that’s why when I began MMA I said, ‘Maybe I’ll like this and maybe I’ll take to it … but maybe it won’t.’” “By the time that I had competed in my first world championships or had competed in the Olympics, I had never done that before. So really it just revealed to me that when it is the big pressure situation … I do what I’ve been trained to do.Whenever the pressure comes on, I show up.” UFC top bantamweight contender, Sarah McMann, gave the scoop to MMAWeekly.com about how she handles pressure situations.

Machida Down For Jacare Or Bisping Scraps While Waiting For Title Shot

BJPENN.COM News - February 18, 2014

“Everybody keeps talking about the title. Of course, I want to fight for the title and I did my best on Saturday night (to earn a shot), but it’s up to the UFC now to decide if I deserve it or not. I’ll be ready for anything. If they want me to fight once more time, I’ll be ready… ’Jacare’ (Souza) would be a good option, and (Michael) Bisping would also be another good option. I’m waiting for their decision. Waiting a little longer would be good because I would be able to relax and get hungrier whenever I start my next camp. But the good side on fighting again is that I would stay active.”
