Conor McGregor took some time to compete in an exhibition boxing bout in Crumlin last night as his future in mixed martial arts remains unclear.

Chael Sonnen has given his take on the superstar status of Israel Adesanya post-UFC 236, predicting that his next fight will break every live-gate record in the book. It seems like an outlandish claim to make so soon after Adesanya’s interim-title-winning performance over the weekend but despite the sensational manner in which he phrased his claim, Chael certainly comes through …

Dana White made a very interesting remark backstage after UFC 236 about the future of mixed martial arts and his plans for it. UFC 236 and its pair of instant classic interim-title showdowns are still very fresh in the minds of those who tuned in, but in one of the several post-fight interviews turned in by the UFC president, he …

Three of the very best lightweights on the planet chimed in to congratulate Dustin Poirier on his thrilling victory over Max Holloway at UFC 236.

In a time where those who hold titles are becoming increasingly detached from the traditional measure of a great champion, Max Holloway has continued to prove himself to be a special, special talent. 2016’s UFC 199 will be forever remembered as the night we witnessed one of the greatest shocks in the history of mixed martial arts.

Dana White has confirmed that Conor McGregor is working towards making his return to the UFC octagon, despite announcing his ‘retirement’ last month.

In an interview he gave …

Conor McGregor has revealed via Twitter that he sustained an injury to his foot three weeks out from his UFC 229 clash with Khabib Nurmagomedov last year. It’s the fight that has yet to fully fizzle out – especially after the more recent interactions between the two. And while it seems unlikely that we’ll see a rematch between the two …

They may have had their run-ins in the past, but Khabib Nurmagomedov was quick to offer his support to Tony Ferguson upon being asked about his recent personal struggles. By contrast, the feud that has existed between Nurmagomedov and Ferguson seems tame when looked at alongside the Dagestan-native’s relationship with his most recent conquest, Conor McGregor. It was more a …

Khabib has spoken publicly for the first time since his recent Twitter exchange with Conor McGregor – one that many consider to have gone too far on both sides.

Legendary former featherweight champion José Aldo has made it clear that he plans to retire from the sport of MMA once his current UFC contract expires.

José Aldo has congratulated his great rival Conor McGregor on his career after the former two-weight world champion announced his retirement from MMA.
