The UFC’s official YouTube have dropped an exceptional video for the upcoming UFC 241 showdown between Nate Diaz and Anthony Pettis.  The heavyweight clash between defending champion Daniel Cormier and his former foe Stipe Miocic may well be sitting in the night’s top-billed showdown, but in many people’s eyes, it will be the co-main event matchup that will draw the …

Cris Cyborg has revealed that she will begin a new chapter in her mixed martial arts journey after her somewhat acrimonious split from the UFC this month. It truly was the story that shadowed the entire build-up to UFC 240 earlier this month. UFC president Dana White has never been one to back down upon being publicly challenged by one …

Frankie Edgar has confirmed that he will finally make his debut in the UFC bantamweight division following the most recent setback to his title-aspirations. Not that the performance he turned in at UFC 240 was an awful one by any stretch, but even still, size matters and in recent times, that fact has become more and more clear. Edgar’s longtime …

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 …

Frankie Edgar officially declared his intention to move to 135lbs after suffering defeat over five rounds at the hands of Max Holloway at UFC 240. Though by no means a devastating loss, Edgar now finds himself effectively frozen out of the featherweight title picture and while his greatest moments inside the octagon were to be found at 155lbs, the idea …

Ricardo Almeida, the long-time coach of UFC 240 headliner Frankie Edgar, has explained why a move to 135lb may well be on the cards for his fighter.  Frankie found himself outclassed and outgunned by the dominant champion of the featherweight division Max Holloway in his most recent successful defense of his title. Overall, it was a spirited performance from The …

Cris Cyborg has fired shots at both Dana White and Joe Rogan over comments they made about her several years ago, before she signed to the UFC.  The comments came both from a post-fight press conference in which White said that Justino ‘looked like Wanderlei Silva in a dress’ as well as an edition of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast where UFC …

Max Holloway has extended some words of respect to his UFC 240 foe Frankie Edgar after he defeated him on the scorecards in the night’s main-event.  Despite being entertaining in brief moments, the top-billed showdown of the evening boiled down to a simple clash between a vintage Max Holloway and the type of Frankie Edgar we have come to expect …

Cris Cyborg will return to the UFC octagon tonight for her first outing since losing in incredibly violent fashion to Amanda Nunes at UFC 232. There is the sense that we’re going to learn a lot about the Brazilian former champion by the time all is said and done in Edmonton, Canada. Unbeaten for over a decade and with a …

UFC 240’s main-event will see the featherweight champion Max Holloway return from his failed pursuit of interim-lightweight glory to face a familiar foe. Not that they’re familiar in terms of shared cage minutes but this matchup, of course, will not stand as the first time that these two have been scheduled to fight each other. At the time, Holloway’s loss …

UFC 240 is now just a matter of hours away and at last night’s ceremonial weigh-ins, the fighters involved had their final opportunity to face-off.  The featherweight crown will be up for grabs in the night’s main-event as Max Holloway looks to make the third defense of his belt against the legendary perennial contender Frankie Edgar in a matchup that …

UFC 240’s weigh-ins are scheduled to get underway at 11pm Irish/UK time on Friday evening and will feature all of the stars competing on tomorrow’s card. Despite its lack of big names, UFC 240 is quite an underrated event – one that will provide a showcase for several promising rising stars, all while being bolstered by some quietly excellent matchmaking …

Brian Ortega’s return to the UFC octagon is close to being finalised for UFC 240, with him set to take on the highly-touted Zabit Magomedsharipov. On a day in which we learned of the scintillating lightweight showdown between Tony Ferguson and Donald Cerrone, it was going to be hard for the UFC to top it with another fight-announcement. And sure, …
