Michael Bisping has revealed that he suffered a painful injury to his ribs just one week out from his UFC 217 clash with Georges St-Pierre.  Of course, the fight would end in a third-round submission victory for the legendary GSP – leaving the story of the Canadian’s incredible return to glory as the headline for those reading the news on …

Ahead of the former champion Robbie Lawler’s return to the UFC octagon this weekend, relive the fight that put his status as a legend of the sport beyond any doubt. Even if he turns in the worst performance of his long and storied career against Colby Covington this weekend in Newark, there is absolutely nothing that Robbie could do to …

Jorge Masvidal has surprised quite a few people after coming through with a lengthy message of respect and admiration for the superstar Conor McGregor. The idea of a matchup between the powerful welterweight and the former two-weight world champion has been steadily gaining momentum ever since Jorge was able to earn himself a spot in the UFC record books with …

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 …

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 …

Nate Diaz has never been one for putting too much effort into promotional work but he and his team have managed to excite fight-fans with a short, but exciting look into his ongoing training camp. August 20, 2016. The last time that Nate stepped foot into the octagon and a date that marked the solidification of him as one of …

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.

After we brought you the first exchange between White and Justino – which can be read in full here – Cyborg has lashed out once again upon being asked for her take on the current standing of her and the …

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 …

Cian Cowley looked to be turning in a flawless performance at BRAVE CF 24 before a beautifully timed shot ended his night in brutal fashion.

Khabib Nurmagomedov has spoken about his relationship with pressure and how he manages to maintain a healthy level of motivation whilst at the top of the game.  Nurmagomedov is considered by many to be the greatest lightweight fighter in the history of the sport and unless something drastic happens to the betting lines, the bookies should no doubt have him …

UFC president Dana White is reportedly set to launch his own venture into the world of boxing promotion, Zuffa Boxing, in September.  Of course, Dana has been a fan of the sport of boxing long before his days as the world’s premier promoter in the sport of mixed martial arts and yet, despite nearly two decades in the game, this …

Cris Cyborg has responded to Dana White’s recent claim that she is afraid to sign to fight Amanda Nunes in a rematch of their UFC 232 clash.  That fight, as we all know, stood as one of the biggest shocks of 2018 – not simply because of the fact that Nunes was able to dethrone her legendary Brazilian adversary – …
