Photo by Mike Stobe/Getty Images It’s UFC 94 all over again. Celebrity pugilist Jake Paul is prepared to die when he collides with former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson as part of their upcoming Netflix special on Sat., July 20, 2024 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, because judges’ decisions are for wimps. I’m sure Paul is not the only one prepared for him to die, based on this scouting report. “It’s an honor to be in the ring with him, but I have to end him,” Paul said during the Formula One Grand Prix on Monday in Miami. ‘’It’s war. All is fair in love and war. I love the gu ..read more

Who was that masked man? None other than current UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis, who was revealed as “Wildebeest” on Season 2 (Ep. 5) of The Masked Singer South Africa. “Stillknocks” dazzled the audience with his vocals, then got his giant head ripped off after what appeared to be a brief struggle. Or maybe that was just for dramatic effect. Give it up one last time for this sexy beast, Wildebeest! RT if you’re sad to see him go…#MaskedSingerSA pic.twitter.com/gyWqgCurgX — The Masked Singer South Africa (@MaskedSingerZA) May 6, 2024 He moves like Minaton from Sinbad and the E ..read more

Former featherweight champion Jose Aldo returned to the bantamweight rankings at No. 8 with his commanding performance against Jonathan Martinez in the co-main event. That’s not all. Michel Pereira, previously ranked in the welterweight division, is now listed among the Top 15 middleweights in the world, landi ..read more

Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC Even after beating Holloway three times, Volkanovski is still having to field questions about fighting “Blessed” again. Alexander Volkanovski has already beaten Max Holloway three times, but he might just be down for a fourth scrap if the BMF belt is on the line. Holloway is one of the hottest fighters in the UFC right now after “Blessed” delivered a wild buzzer-beating KO of Justin Gaethje at UFC 300. Prior to that, he was being overlooked as nothing more than an inconvenient gatekeeper who was knocking back too many of Volkanovski’s potential challengers. Now ..read more

Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images Saint Denis is hoping to use the slow moving lightweight title picture to his advantage by snagging a fight with No. 1 contender Tsarukyan in September. Benoit Saint Denis is looking to bounce back after a tough knockout loss to Dustin Poirier in March. As far as “God of War” is concerned, the higher ranked the opponent, the better. “It was an exciting fight with Dustin, it didn’t go my way,” he said in an interview with MMA Junkie. “ I made way too many mistakes against a world class opponent. I need to bounce back, and I want to show that I’m h ..read more

Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images Bringing you the weird and wild from the world of MMA each and every weeknight! Welcome to Midnight Mania! Sean O’Malley has changed his pick for UFC 303 and is now hoping to see Conor McGregor get slept by Michael Chandler. If you’re wondering why O’Malley is pulling for “Notorious” to lose his UFC return then look no further than the social media cheap shot McGregor took at the UFC bantamweight champion last weekend. McGregor even offered to fly O’Malley out to Ireland to spar, which “Suga” gladly accepted. O’Malley recently had another chanc ..read more

Photo by Matt Davies/PxImages/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The best Bantamweight mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter might not be competing in the biggest promotion in the world. Bellator’s 135-pound champion Patchy Mix returns to action on May 17, 2024, in Paris, France, for his first Bantamweight title defense against former foe Magomed Magomedov. Mix put Magomedov to sleep at Bellator 289 in 2022. Mix (19-1) is currently on the run of his career, demolishing everyone in his path and making it look easy. In his last outing, he snapped Sergio Pettis’ six-fight win streak and unified the Ba ..read more

Photo by Josh Hedges/Zuffa LLC Did erectile dysfunction retire Matt Brown?! No, probably not. “The Immortal” perpetual mixed martial arts (MMA) entertainer did simply lose his excitement, though. Brown, 43, already had a brief unofficial retirement from the sport a few years back. However, the longtime Welterweight veteran and knockout artist made it clear he wasn’t returning with a series of Twitter posts this past weekend (Sat., May 4, 2024). He has since revealed his most recent offer to fight Max Griffin wasn’t doing it for him and he knew that must have been the sign that it was time. “I ..read more

Photo by Mike Roach/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images Dustin Poirier had no demands for his upcoming UFC 302 title shot next month (Sat., June 1, 2024). Islam Makhachev has his next Lightweight title defense lined up and “The Diamond” will look to score the massive upset. After all the contenders sorted things out amongst each other from UFC 299 to UFC 300, the most readily available was left to face the champion, and that was Poirier. Although he wound up as the next man up, Poirier wasn’t the first option. The promotion gave Arman Tsarukyan the chance to challenge for gold immediately after his spl ..read more

Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images Tom Aspinall is still feeling like the odd man out in Ultimate Fighting Championship’s (UFC) Heavyweight division. A UFC interim title just isn’t the same as it used to be. That’s in the case of England’s Aspinall, anyway. Unfortunately for the talented titlist, his hopes to challenge for undisputed gold haven’t felt realistic after winning the crown over Sergei Pavlovich via a 69-second knockout (watch highlights) at UFC 295 this past November 2023. Current undisputed titleholder, Jon Jones, and company have remained adamant that his first defen ..read more
