Tony Ferguson has emerged after his lengthy spell on the sidelines with a vengeance, taking aim at virtually everyone in an expletive-laden interview. For the first couple of questions, Tony defiantly channelled NFL superstar Marshawn Lynch, telling the media “I’m just here because I have to be here.” Eventually, ‘El Cucuy’ took some questions about his road to recovery, but this …

Conor McGregor has teased that his rate of pay for UFC 229 will break UFC records, calling it almost comparable to the sum he made last August fighting Floyd Mayweather. ‘The Money Fight’ saw Conor bring in a payday that reportedly crossed into nine-figures and while it’s pretty obvious that an MMA matchup would fail to replicate those type of …

In the latest edition of Truth or Trash?, we put former champion Conor McGregor’s argument to being an all-time pound-for-pound great under the microscope.

After a wild …

It’s the most anticipated event of the MMA year so far and despite the fact that no-one is actually fighting (hopefully), Khabib and McGregor will come face-to-face at last.
