In my eyes, there are three fighters who could well stand in front of Conor McGregor once he makes his return to the UFC octagon either later this year or in the early months of 2020. And it’s a tired topic, don’t get me wrong. But in the wake of UFC 242 and UFC Vancouver’s back-to-back main-events, it’s a subject …

Justin Gaethje moved his current run of form to three straight first-round TKO’s, this time passing the test set for him by Donald Cerrone in the UFC Vancouver main-event. At the end of the day, the sheer power possessed by the former-WSOF champion was simply too much for the veteran Cerrone to deal with. Though famously a slow-starter, Cowboy appeared …

Lightweight fan-favourites will collide in the UFC Vancouver main-event, a fight that many are singling out as a potential Fight Of The Year in the making.

It doesn’t …

Darren Till’s coach Colin Heron has admitted that he foresaw the difficulties that would come after his fighter’s dominant victory over Donald Cerrone.

Donald Cerrone seems to have his mind set on running back his UFC 238 showdown with Tony Ferguson after being forced out of the contest due to a doctor’s stoppage at the end of the second round. Cerrone’s matchup with Ferguson certainly lived up to the hype in terms of the action on display on the night but despite Tony’s …

Jorge Masvidal managed to put on a career-best performance when he thoroughly dominated the streaking contender Donald Cerrone at UFC Denver in 2017. Cerrone was the man bringing all of the momentum to the table after racking up four incredibly impressive wins as a welterweight in a row before running into a Jorge Masvidal-shaped wall. The fight itself saw Cowboy …

Khabib Nurmagomedov believes that he possesses the tool necessary to crack the riddle that is Tony Ferguson and hand him his first loss since 2012.  Not to say Khabib isn’t a riddle in his own right.

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 …

Donald Cerrone spoke during UFC 238’s fight-week and claimed that he would take a shot at the UFC title instead of a fight with Conor McGregor.

Donald Cerrone has made an interesting prediction for the UFC 242 lightweight title-clash between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Dustin Poirier.  Cowboy is gearing up for a fight that could well be the most important of his career to date, a lightweight title eliminator against a seemingly unstoppable force, in Tony Ferguson, who would represent the biggest win of his career if …

Tony Ferguson and Donald Cerrone is perhaps the most eagerly anticipated fight on Saturday night’s UFC 238. Here’s how we see it playing out. On a night with two title fights – one of them being a super-fight, for the event’s third-billed bout to be as completely tantalising as this one is something of a rarity. In many ways, the …

In many …
