Dana White has confirmed that the legendary Brazilian Cris Cyborg will no longer be fighting under the UFC banner following the expiration of her contract.

Cris Cyborg will return to the UFC octagon tonight for her first outing since losing in incredibly violent fashion to Amanda Nunes at UFC 232.

Amanda Nunes has confirmed her intention to move down in weight to fight Valentina Shevchenko for the UFC flyweight championship belt.

Taking to her official Twitter account, Nunes announced …

The newly-crowned dual-weight world champion Amanda Nunes has ruled out a return to featherweight and with that, closed the book on her rivalry with Cris Cyborg.

Cristiane Justino and Amanda Nunes faced off for the penultimate time ahead of tomorrow’s women’s featherweight showdown in the UFC 232 co-main event.

As Cris Cyborg gears up for the third defense of her UFC featherweight title at UFC 232, relives one of her most destructive performances to date.

Jon Jones will make his return to the mic as one of the fighters featured this evening as the official UFC 232 press conference gets underway.

The UFC’s flyweight champion made his case for a spot on the UFC’s stop in Las Vegas during International Fight Week, with him going as far as to even suggest some tantalising potential co-headliners.

The women’s featherweight champion of the world made a rather bizarre admission during a recent appearance on the MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani.

UFC 219’s pay-per-view estimates have been released and it managed to rank surprisingly high on 2017’s list of most-watched events. Despite what Dana White and all of those others operating as representatives of the UFC would have you believe, 2017 will have to be remembered as something of an off-year for the promotion from a financial stand-point. Sure, there were a …

Dana White has confirmed exactly what he has in store for the UFC women’s featherweight champ Cris Cyborg and it could well be an even better fight than her last.

UFC 219 is looking set to thrill on every level and this latest promo does a good job at reminding the fans they’re in for a treat come December 30.
