Jon Jones revealed to the world via Twitter that he will be making a ‘big fight announcement’ soon so with that in mind, we’re going to take a look at the opponents who could potentially fit such a billing. UFC president Dana White spoke to the media in the wake of last weekend’s UFC 242 and explained how Jan Blachowicz, in …

Kenny Florian has given his take on the immediate future of the former light-heavyweight and heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier. Cormier, of course, lost out by way of fourth-round TKO to Stipe Miocic in the UFC 241 main-event last month, signalling the end of his run as the champion of the UFC heavyweight division and in many ways, leaving his future …

We attempted to create a tier-system with the aim of better understanding the UFC’s current crop of well-established and still-blossoming superstars.  With the recent shift in the futures of past stars such as Georges St-Pierre and Ronda Rousey, and the constant uncertainty surrounding the future of Conor McGregor, there is very much the sense that the world’s premier mixed martial …

The two fights that lie ahead of the heavyweight champion will stand as the difference between a status shared amongst him and several other legends and a place in history that nobody else can touch. January 20, 2018, was the day that Daniel Cormier truly proved without a shred of a doubt what type of man he is. UFC 220’s …

2019 has been one hell of a year so far in the world of mixed martial arts but these last four or five months could prove to be amongst the most important in the history of the sport. Nate Diaz’s UFC 241 return against Anthony Pettis No matter which way it goes down, there will be quite a lot of …

The next few months could well be amongst the most pivotal in the history of the UFC, with several of the biggest stars in the sport edging towards the fights that will define their legacy.

The UFC’s pound-for-pound rankings remain as divisive as ever and with that in mind, we want to give our own take on how the top-15 should look.  To be honest, the P4P rankings are completely and utterly pointless in the grand scheme of things. Of course, there is the common misconception that the UFC are in some way responsible for …

Daniel Cormier has thrown down the gauntlet to both the UFC and his great rival Jon Jones, explaining what he would need to happen for a trilogy fight. Of course, the champ’s focus will need to be completely on the challenge that his UFC 241 opponent Stipe Miocic will pose to him on September 17 but even still, with an …

Michael Bisping believes that the year’s biggest fight could well be a heavyweight clash between Daniel Cormier and his great rival Jon Jones.  It’s one of those rare situations where a third showdown between two fighters is completely warranted despite the fact that one of those two is 2-0 over the other – USADA-imposed no-contests notwithstanding. The first two meetings …

Dana White has revealed his thoughts on the latest controversy surrounding the UFC’s light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones.  Jones was charged with battery after an incident that occurred in a strip club based in Albuquerque in April – a misdemeanour that a representative for Jones denied. Even still, Jon will have his day in court in August and according to UFC …

The UFC president has urged the light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones not to underestimate the threat posed to him by middleweight star, Israel Adesanya.  And for anyone else but the legendary light-heavyweight champ, the rangy, technical, striking master that is Adesanya would be an absolute nightmare.
