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 …

Khabib Nurmagomedov spoke to the media in a recent exchange and explained exactly why the idea of switching between weight-classes isn’t as appealing as a run at lightweight. To his credit, staying unbeaten in the most stacked weight-class in the sport is something that should be commended but in the modern-day landscape of MMA, where super-fights are paramount, the idea …

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 …

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 …

Dana White has given his take on the future of Daniel Cormier after his fourth-round TKO defeat at the hands of Stipe Miocic at UFC 241. Cormier wouldn’t commit to an answer right away when pressed for some information about his fighting future, but nevertheless explained his disappointment at coming up short in such shocking fashion via a post to …

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 …

Paulo Costa wasn’t exactly thrilled to hear that interim-champion Israel Adesanya had insinuated that he had the small arms of a tyrannosaurus rex. Yes, you read that correctly. In a tweet posted during Saturday’s superb middleweight title-eliminator, The Last Stylebender seemed to suggest that not only was Borrachinha using banned substances, but also that his arms resembled those of the …

Joe Rogan has explained his decision to interview UFC 241 headliner Daniel Cormier just after his fourth-round TKO defeat at the hands of Stipe Miocic. At UFC 214, when Cormier was finished for the first time by his great rival Jon Jones, many had pointed fingers at Rogan for speaking to the clearly concussed and disoriented DC – a move …

Daniel Cormier has reflected on his fourth-round TKO defeat at the hands of Stipe Miocic and where exactly it leaves him at this late point in his career. And while he didn’t exactly say it outright, there could be a chance that we never see DC lace up gloves again. Citing a need for deliberation alongside his love ones, Cormier …

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 …

Paulo Costa was handed a somewhat controversial unanimous decision victory over the former two-time middleweight title challenger Yoel Romero. Indeed it was controversial but make no mistake, this was one of the year’s most entertaining battles and when all was said and done inside the cage, neither man truly left as a loser. With that being said, it did appear …

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, …

Stipe Miocic was able to overcome some adversity to TKO heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier in the fourth round in the UFC 241 main-event. No matter which way the belt went in the end, it was pretty clear from the get-go that we were tuning in to see a clash between two of the greatest heavyweights in the sport’s history. And …

Daniel Cormier will attempt to make the second defense of his UFC heavyweight title when he steps in to face Stipe Miocic in the UFC 241 main-event. In many ways, it’s a fight that completely deserves to be run back once again. Sure, a first-round knockout was a pretty decisive way for Cormier to steal away Stipe’s title’s back in …
