“Sugar” Sean O’Malley has been on fire in 2020 so far with two first round knockout wins over Jose Quinonez and Eddie Wineland picking up Performance of the Night bonuses in both fights. O’Malley originally called out former bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt for his next contest but Dana White quickly shot that idea down saying O’Malley needs a few more fights before taking on someone like Garbrandt. It seems that O’Malley has now changed his focus to Marlon “Chito” Vera and took to Instagram to call out the 14-fight UFC veteran Vera. “Who wants to see me Knock Out Cheeto?” View this ..read more

I would care less except that he cheated in a fight against one of my fr ..read more

With the majority of the UFC’s stadium events being cancelled this announcement doesn’t come as too much of a surprise but the promotion has now officially confirmed that the UFC Dublin show is cancelled. The announcement is also unsurprising as the UFC 252 PPV event with the Stipe Miocic vs. Daniel Cormier rubber match has been scheduled for August 15th and it was highly unlikely that the promotion would run two cards on the same night in the current circumstances. The official cancellation came via the UFC Europe Twitter account at around 12pm on Wednesday. “Due to current government restr ..read more
