Henry Cejudo has once again reaffirmed his status as ‘The King Of Cringe’ with a pretty bonkers call-out of the former bantamweight king Dominick Cruz. Positioning himself at the foot of his bed with a trio of UFC belts in front of him – decorated with the names of three of his current rivals, the UFC champ-turned-storyteller dives deep into …

Former bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz has gone after TJ Dillashaw for disregarding the division’s top-contenders in favour of a drop to 125lbs. Cruz holds a victory over Dillashaw from early 2016 – a fight for the 135lb strap that could well be considered the most mesmerising display of head-movement and footwork we have ever seen in this sport. Both guys …

Dominick Cruz’s UFC 233 bout with John Lineker was scrapped after the former champion sustained yet another serious injury – this time to his shoulder. Cruz could well be the greatest bantamweight to ever do it. His legendary run atop the WEC and later UFC 135lb division saw him defend his title against every single challenger – showcasing his unique …

Dominick Cruz is reportedly set to step into the octagon for the first time since December of last year, facing John Lineker in a pivotal bantamweight clash. When Cruz was last seen in action, he was on the receiving end of an absolute masterclass by Cody Garbrandt. One would have to assume that he was left as shocked as the rest …

For all the bravado he exudes, Cody Garbrandt has a heart-breaking past – a side of himself he gets into in an extremely honest new interview. It seems as though everyone is quick to criticise Cody now following his second-successive TKO defeat to his heated rival TJ Dillashaw. And it is understandable, to some degree. Garbrandt is certainly one of …

The legendary former UFC bantamweight champion of the world has made it clear that he isn’t buying TJ Dillashaw as the number-1 at the weight-class. A lot has changed for ‘The Dominator’ in the time since. At UFC 207, he – along with the rest of us – was left shocked when the up-and-comer Cody Garbrandt well and truly arrived with …

Dominick Cruz offered his own professional insight into the fight-ending sequence that saw Daniel Cormier knockout Stipe Miocic to win the heavyweight title. Striking technique, size, power. All things that Stipe Miocic was expected to hold over the 205lb champion Daniel Cormier when they were booked to meet at UFC 226 in a super-fight for the ages. Towering over the …

Ariel Helwani bid farewell to his role on The MMA Hour yesterday and had both Urijah Faber and Dominick Cruz on the show as his final guests. Ariel Helwani’s run as the host of the immensely popular and influential mixed martial arts show The MMA Hour came to an end last night after over 400 episodes dating back to the year …

The UFC’s president Dana White had a stab at creating the ultimate MMA fighter during a media appearance ahead of UFC London last night and with that in mind, we attempted to one-up the boss with a creation of our own. Dana White spoke on the BBC MMA Show and with the entire UFC roster past and present at his disposal, this …

TJ Dillashaw has responded to talk of him granting Cody Garbrandt an immediate rematch with some harsh words for the Team Alpha Male product’s ability to take a punch. For all the spectacular happenings at UFC 217 earlier this month, TJ Dillashaw’s win over his heated rival Cody Garbrandt managed to see him make the strongest argument out of the three …

Joe Rogan has made a pretty strong argument for TJ Dillashaw’s inclusion in the pound-for-pound number one discussion following his UFC 217 victory over Cody Garbrandt. The UFC rankings and, in particular, its pound-for-pound rankings can often be a fickle and inconsistent indicator of where fighters stand in relation to each other. Sure, it’s fun to see the very best of the …

The Team Alpha Male head-coach made some rather surprising admissions during an interview with MMAFighting’s Ariel Helwani recently. Sacramento’s Team Alpha Male are one of MMA’s most tightly knit groups but despite their long and storied history that has been filled to the brim with championship successes, UFC 217 earlier this month saw one of their most decorated students rob one of …
