Thursday night’s official press conference for UFC 244’s main-event pairing of Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz gave us an interesting insight into a potential change in the UFC’s attitude towards fight-promotion. Let’s be real, the presser was a bit of mess. Sound issues that were no doubt exacerbated by the choice of setting were joined by some excruciatingly bad questions …

Dan Hardy has made his wish to fight Nate Diaz clear ahead of his eventual return to the UFC octagon after a lengthy period spent on the sidelines. It’s almost easy to forget that The Outlaw was once upon a time one of the finest welterweights on the planet – one who challenged the legendary Georges St-Pierre for the divisional …

ESPN have confirmed that the potentially massive showdown between Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz will serve as the UFC 244 headliner. Brett Okamoto spoke to UFC president Dana White and confirmed the news on Saturday ahead of UFC 242 in Abu Dhabi. Breaking: Nate Diaz vs. Jorge Masvidal will HEADLINE UFC 244 on Nov. 2 in NYC, per Dana White. …

Michael Bisping has stressed his belief that Conor McGregor would now be on the B-side to Nate Diaz after the Stockton-native’s recent resurgence in popularity. Speaking during a recent edition of his Believe You Me podcast, the former middleweight champion explained his take on the current standing of both fighters within the eyes of the public. Citing a matchup between Nate and …

Conor McGregor has extended words of respect to his great rival Nate Diaz, who successfully returned to the octagon at last weekend’s UFC 241. These two have been through it all together – contesting a pair of instant classic showdowns that saw each man pushed to their respective limits over the course of seven rounds. And while Nate has cut …

Conor McGregor spoke to ESPN’s Ariel Helwani and took a moment to explain his most recent ‘retirement’ from the sport of mixed martial arts. The second retirement in the career of Conor McGregor shot through the mainstream media with a similar degree of success as his first but for those in the know, it was hard to shake memories of …

Conor McGregor joined Ariel Helwani on a recent edition of SportsCenter on ESPN for a discussion that touched on a wide array of subjects concerning both his professional and personal life in the last few months. It has almost been odd how quiet McGregor has been in the last couple of years in terms of his level of interaction with the media. View this …

Conor McGregor made a return to the public eye to speak to ESPN’s Ariel Helwani on SportsCenter for his first public interview in months.  And while the interview was one that came out of nowhere, with the little notice we had, a considerable buzz was generated within the MMA world in the hour or so we had to digest the …

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 …

Jorge Masvidal has accepted the challenge presented to him at UFC 241 while confirming to his fans that the negotiation process has begun. Diaz returning with a highly impressive showing against the former lightweight champion Anthony Pettis was enough to reaffirm his status as one of the biggest stars in the sport today and thankfully, it does seem as though …

Nate Diaz may well have proved the extent of his newfound understanding of the fight-business with his callout of Jorge Masvidal at UFC 241. Taking to the mic directly after beating Anthony Pettis over three-rounds, he made the callout that would perhaps ignite fan interest more than any matchup out there with the exception of a trilogy bout with Conor …

Dana White has backtracked on an infamous comment he made about UFC 241 star Nate Diaz a few years ago after his triumphant return last night. For quite some time, Nate lived in the shadow of his brother – the former Strikeforce welterweight champion Nick Diaz, a man who shared the octagon with superstars such as Georges St-Pierre and Anderson …

Nate Diaz took to the microphone after his impressive UFC 241 victory over Anthony Pettis to call out his fellow welterweight contender Jorge Masvidal. If ring-rust is real, no-one told Diaz that ahead of his first UFC outing in three years last night. Although he started slow, in his own patented fashion he gradually began to pick up the pace …

Nate Diaz did not seem to be showing the signs of ring-rust in the slightest as he returned to the UFC octagon with a hugely impressive win over Anthony Pettis in the UFC 241 co-main event. Pace, pressure, and fluidity on both the feet and the mat in equal measure, Nate’s return seemed to very much show a fighter reborn, …

Jorge Masvidal has extended an invitation to Nate Diaz, challenging him to go to war inside the octagon once he settles his beef with Anthony Pettis tonight. Masvidal is well and truly on top of the world. Fresh off of his stunning five-second knockout of Ben Askren at UFC 239, Gamebred has been linked to fights with everyone from Conor …

Anthony Pettis will welcome Nate Diaz back to the UFC octagon in the UFC 241 co-main event in a fight that could well single out a top welterweight contender. And it’s almost odd to see this pair of career lightweights plying their trade in the upper echelons of the welterweight division but as unlikely as it may seem, a future …
