Brad Lavale Blackburn a.k.a Brad "Bad" Blackburn is an American mixed martial artist. He fought for the Seattle Tiger Sharks in the now defunct International Fight League (IFL). He currently fights in the UFC welterweight division.
After going 3-0 in the UFC, Blackburn signed a new four-fight deal with the promotion in August of 2009. Unfortunately, Blackburn's first fight after signing his new contract was against The Ultimate Fighter 7 Middleweight winner, Amir Sadollah. The two began a stand-up battle, with Sadollah gaining the upper hand, catching Blackburn quite a few times, though he was never able to get a stoppage, as he continued to take the fight to the mat when his opponent was rocked. Sadollah's much improved stand-up earned him the Decision (Unanimous) win, ending Blackburn's six-fight win streak.
