There is a new boogeyman in the UFC light heavyweight division and his name is Jiri Prochazka. ‘Denisa’ made it 12 wins in a row with 11 knockouts and two out of two in the UFC as he obliterated Dominick Reyes in the UFC Vegas 25 main event to send a message to his eastern […]
Once UFC 247 came to an end back in February 2020, it was a very common consensus that Dominick Reyes was going to be the UFC light heavyweight champion at some point. He had just taken the G.O.A.T Jon Jones to the deepest, darkest point of his title reign and the majority of people saw […]
The light heavyweight division will continue to move in 2021 after it was announced that Jan Blachowicz will defend his title against Glover Teixeira at UFC 266 in September. The 38-year-old champion won the belt for the first time in his career with a knockout win over Dominick Reyes at UFC 253 last September after […]
The biggest and best card of the year, undoubtedly, takes place this weekend at UFC 259 and will be headlined by a super-fight between the middleweight champion Israel Adesanya challenging for the light heavyweight title against Jan Blachowicz. Both fighters last competed back at UFC 253, where Blachowicz knocked out Dominick Reyes to win the […]
2021 is promising to be the biggest year in UFC history in terms of match ups, but also potentially in super fights too.

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 […]
Yoel Romero has agreed to join Bellator following his release from the UFC earlier this month. The 43 year-old middleweight was released from his contract with three fights remaining on his deal, as Dana White admitted the company was looking to make ‘serious cuts’ at the end of what has been a tough year for […]
The UFC has welcomed a new contender in the middleweight division after Marvin Vettori toppled Jack Hermansson in one of the best middleweight bouts of the year at UFC Vegas 16. The Italian stepped in on short-notice to fight ‘Joker’ after both Darren Till and Kevin Holland were forced to withdraw from the bout through […]
The light heavyweight division can’t get rid of one of their top contenders just yet, after Anthony Smith got a quick and impressive win over Devin Clark in the UFC Vegas 15 main event. Smith and Clark stepped into the main event slot on a day’s notice, changing their fight to a five-rounder in the […]
For once back in September, the UFC were rightly praised for their match-making skills. After arranging for the light heavyweight crown to be claimed by Jan Blachowicz or Dominick Reyes at UFC 253 on Fight Island, the UFC had cleverly arranged for Thiago Santos and Glover Teixeira to go to war the following week with […]
