Chad Mendes showed a lot of class after his UFC 189 loss to Conor McGregor, but in the period since he has been losing the good will he gained with Irish fans. Over the weekend PunditArena reported that, while a guest on the Stud Radio Show, the recent Conor McGregor victim adamantly predicted a Jose Aldo win at UFC 194. He …

Chad Mendes has full faith that his two time nemesis, Jose Aldo, can retain his title against Conor McGregor on December 12th in Las Vegas. Mendes was recently a guest on Team Alpha Male’s podcast, Stud Show Radio.

Chad Mendes has taken to social media to call out former lightweight champ, and current featherweight contender, Frankie Edgar. Frankie Edgar has made it clear that he is keen to compete on the big UFC 194 card, scheduled for December 12th. Or, failing that, on another card close to that date. In a recent interview with severemma.com, “The Answer” explained …

Urijah Faber and Chad Mendes are not the only members of Team Alpha Male that Conor McGregor has taken issue with as of late. It is safe to assume that Conor McGregor won’t be making a move from Straight Blast Gym in Dublin to Team Alpha Male anytime soon. “The Notorious” doesn’t exactly see eye to eye with members of …

Ireland’s Aisling Daly has been added to the UFC’s October card at the 3 Arena in Dublin. In many ways “Ais the Bash” was Ireland’s first true MMA star. Before Conor McGregor had even made his professional debut, his teammate was appearing on The Late Late Show. No Irish fighter had competed in the UFC at that point, but Aisling was …

Jose Aldo might be wishing he had bitten his tongue in a recent interview. Few members of the UFC’s talent roster are enamoured with new regulations, which are set to ban intravenous methods of rehydration following weigh-ins, from October 1st. The fighters will have little choice but to follow the new rules, however, as the penalty for failing to do …

Top welterweight contender Tyron Woodley had some very unflattering things to say about Ireland’s Cathal Pendred recently. Conor McGregor’s Straight Blast Gym teammate, Cathal Pendred, is 4-1 in the UFC so far, and 17-3 as a professional overall. There is no debating that those are pretty solid numbers. Yet, the respect of his peers, as well as the fans of …

The UFC’s huge December 12th card, headlined by the featherweight unification bout between Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor, has been added to several times over the last few days. The most recent addition, to the already spectacular line-up, is a match between two in-form lightweights. 14-3-1 Brazilian, Leonardo Santos, takes on 11-1 American, Kevin Lee. Santos, who was the winner …

The name Floyd Mayweather Jr never seems to be far from the lips of the UFC’s two biggest stars, Conor McGregor and Ronda Rousey. In recent months it has been hard to escape the cross-style saga involving boxing’s pay-per-view king, and his MMA counterparts. It all began when Rousey took a shot at Mayweather after she received the ESPY Fighter …

The Irish Independent are reporting that as many as 5,000 Irish fans will travel to Las Vegas for Conor McGregor’s December showdown with Jose Aldo at UFC 194. According to the Irish media outlet, 2,400 fans were thought to have traveled for McGregor’s UFC 189 showdown with Chad Mendes in July. This time, however, travel agents are suggesting that more …

One would have to wonder why a Hawaiian and a Brazilian are scheduled to fight in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, but this weekend’s UFC action is highlighted by a quality featherweight clash between Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira. UFC Fight Night 74 – Main Card (Sunday night/Monday morning 2am BT Sport 2) Max Holloway (13-3) vs. Charles Oliveira (20-4, 1 NC) …

Jose Aldo has no interest in punishing Conor McGregor at UFC 194, rather the champ wants to end the fight in the shortest time possible. We previously reported how Ronda Rousey’s quick knockout of Bethe Correia at UFC 190 had left her feeling unsatisfied.

Conor McGregor is a phenomenon. He is a special athlete and a talented martial artist. But he is also a product. A product of one of the most unique and creative learning environments in world MMA. “The Notorious” isn’t the only member of his Straight Blast Gym Ireland team that can talk a great game. In his own way, John …

Another massive middleweight match-up has been added to the tremendous UFC 194 card, which takes place December 12th in Las Vegas.

Last week …

With all the talk lately about how Floyd Mayweather Jr might fare against Conor McGregor and Ronda Rousey, we thought it might be a good time to remind our readers of a gem of a video from 2013.
