With the door now fully open for a return to the sport of MMA, Nick Diaz sent out a cryptic Instagram post that could well hint at his comeback.  Yesterday we brought you the news that Stockton’s finest Nick Diaz had accepted a one-year USADA suspension after being found guilty of a whereabouts violation just under a year ago. The …

The legendary former Strikeforce welterweight champion has been given the all-clear to resume his MMA career after accepting a one-year USADA ban. In a time where the UFC’s well of starpower seems to be running at an all-time low, could one of the answers to the dip in pay-per-view interest lie in the hands of one of its long-absent icons? …

Chael Sonnen wasn’t exactly convinced of Brian Ortega’s supposed dominance at last weekend’s UFC 222, but he was prepared to bestow upon him a pretty favourable comparison nonetheless. The UFC may well have another star on their hands, folks. A year ago, the name ‘Brian Ortega’ may not have been overly familiar to anyone but to those fully invested in the world …

The UFC’s vice president of athlete health and performance Jeff Novitsky spoke to Joe Rogan recently about the return of Nick Diaz and, surprisingly, it’s not as bleak a picture as one would imagine. For all the superstardom that Stockton’s Nate Diaz has earned himself over the course of the last two years or so, it’s easy to forget that …

Nate Diaz has given us his thoughts on the push his great rival Conor McGregor received as he was making his rise through the ranks of the featherweight division.

Tyron Woodley has given his breakdown of how exactly he would go about taking out one of the sport of MMA’s most notoriously tough-chinned customers as speculation about him fighting Nate Diaz grows. The UFC’s welterweight champion has found himself on the verge of signing on to compete against one of the sport’s biggest names in Diaz, but he says the ongoing …

Nate Diaz has playfully responded to the recent speculation linking him to a comeback against the welterweight champion Tyron Woodley at UFC 217. The world of mixed martial arts just isn’t as fun without the Diaz brothers, is it? For what has seemed like an age, the fans have been deprived of seeing two of the sport’s most electric personalities …

Conor McGregor’s biggest fan admitted he was unable to sit and watch the Irishman lose to the boxing great Floyd Mayweather during the latter stages of his fight on August 26. Brendan Schaub’s involvement with last weekend’s ‘Money Fight’ was perhaps deeper than anyone could have imagined going into it. Schaub is, of course, a well-known personality in MMA circles …

Richard Perez has made some pretty outlandish allegations aimed at the UFC’s lightweight champion Conor McGregor during a radio appearance earlier today. Rivalries in combat sports often give completely new meaning to the word ‘animosity’ but there are few that we have seen in the last decade that come close that the tension that exists between Conor McGregor and Nate …

A new compilation video released recently proves beyond all doubt that despite the clear animosity that exists on the surface, true respect can be found beneath the rivalry between Conor McGregor and the brothers Diaz. Last year’s UFC 196 and UFC 202 saw the blossoming of one of MMA’s most electric rivalries as Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz went 1-1 …

Though it would be completely ridiculous to ever imagine seeing the Diaz brothers face off inside the octagon, this brilliant sparring video gives us a small hint at how amazing such a contest would be.
