Conor McGregor is the type of fighter who comes along once in a lifetime. As one of the biggest names in sports today, the earning potential that this man can bring to …

The UFC president, who is, of course, a massive fan of boxing, gave his take on the current landscape in boxing and in particular, the current buzz that surrounds the big men.   Last month’s stunning showdown between Anthony Joshua and Andy Ruiz Jr. was something of a confirmation of where exactly heavyweight boxing stands at present. A shock as …

Dana White spoke to the media in a recent interview and made it known that the UFC are working on a comeback fight for Liverpool’s Darren Till.

The Bellator president spoke to the media ahead of this weekend’s stacked Bellator 222 card and explained how teaming up with the UFC would not be as out of the question as many would assume. After a successful crossover that saw RIZIN champion Kyoji Horiguchi take on Bellator’s title-holder Darrion Caldwell at RIZIN 14, the Bellator bantamweight title will be …

Tony Ferguson managed to solidify himself once again as the #1 contender to Khabib Nurmagomedov’s throne with a victory over Donald Cerrone at UFC 238.  However, it was a win that did not come without its fair share of controversy and with that, a plethora of supporters have started calling for a rematch. Do not get me wrong, it would …

Dana White has offered something of a promising update on a future of the former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion, Conor McGregor.

As of right now, judging …

Anthony Pettis and Nate Diaz will serve as the co-main event for August’s UFC 241 in Anaheim according to UFC president Dana White.

The MMA world were left in a state of shared confusion upon hearing the news that Tony Ferguson will return to face Donald Cerrone at UFC 238.

The former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva has doubled down on his wish to take on the superstar Conor McGregor in his next outing.

Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone could well be walking to the biggest fight of his career against Al Iaquinta in the UFC Ottawa headliner this weekend. The latter half of Cerrone’s career has seen him defy all of the logic we generally attach to a fighter who is advancing in age. Genetic freaks like Yoel Romero and late-starters such as Daniel Cormier …

Jacare Souza revealed in a recent interview that the UFC, in his eyes, put an unfair amount of pressure on him to accept his short-notice showdown in the UFC Fort Lauderdale main-event.

Conor McGregor will likely fight again in the sport of mixed martial arts but it has become clear that the UFC is moving into a new era entirely.

The UFC flyweight champion Henry Cejudo has claimed that he was aware of rumours surrounding his rival TJ Dillashaw prior to facing him in Brooklyn.

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 …

Dana White spoke to the media in the wake of Saturday’s UFC 236 and explained his belief that size was a factor in the night’s main-event. And to be honest, as much as it sounds as though he’s discrediting the performance from The Diamond by doing so, he has a point. Poirier was fantastic, of course. But from the get-go, …

The UFC president has revealed that he would be interested in making a fight between Israel Adesanya and Jon Jones in the future. It’s not exactly the first fight that springs to mind for either man but when you actually stop and think about, it does seem like the route to take for the UFC – given their increasing interest …

Dustin Poirier beat down featherweight champion Max Holloway in their UFC 236 rematch to earn himself his first taste of UFC gold. Two classic title-bouts and two newly-crowned interim-champions to add to the history books. Even for those who tuned in to see the electric co-main event directly beforehand, there was never really the sense that the pairing of Poirier …
