UFC 256 played host to arguably the greatest fight in UFC men’s flyweight history as Deiveson Figueiredo defended his championship against Brandon Moreno. The circumstances of the fight were extraordinary, with both men having competed just three weeks earlier at UFC 255.

UFC Vegas 26 has finally got itself a new main event as the organisation confirmed that Marina Rodriguez will take on Michelle Waterson this Saturday night.

It wasn’t long ago that Jessica Andrade was the reigning UFC strawweight champion of the world, after slamming Rose Namajunas on her head to become queen of the 115lbers.

Just five weeks after his less than spectacular debut, Manel Kape is back in the Octagon on short notice to fight Matheus Nicolau this Saturday at UFC Vegas 21. Many people were very eager to see Kape coming in to compete at the elite level of MMA when his signing was announced last year, but […]

Stretch your mind back to the start of 2020. UFC 246 was about to take place and all the talk was about the return of Conor McGregor. That card was more successful for the Irishman than the beginning of 2021, but another fighter looking to change their fortunes from one year to the other is […]
As 2020 comes to an end, the UFC hasn’t seen much change at the top of each of its weight divisions this year. Stipe Miocic retained his heavyweight title by defeating Daniel Cormier in their trilogy fight in August, while Israel Adesanya successfully defended his middleweight crown twice against Yoel Romero (UFC 248) and Paulo […]
The final UFC pay-per-view of the year delivered and then some as we saw two new contenders rise as well as a fight of the year contender in the main event.
