LAS VEGAS -- UFC woman's bantamweight champion Holly Holm discusses her rematch with Ronda Rousey, her experience now being the champion, and more.

LAS VEGAS -- When Rafael dos Anjos defends his UFC lightweight strap this Saturday at UFC on FOX 17, it'll be the first time he has competed under the sport's new era of USADA drug testing.

Not sure how she improves to beat Holly if she has to spend time in her camp getting in shape..This is troublesome since it could be a sign of her being mentally defeated..I hope not, but I have never seen a picture of her where she was this heavy, and I am not knocking her, it is normal to eat when you go into a depression after losing a fight....Buster Douglas ate himself into a Diabetic coma after Holyfield loss, so this is not a Ronda bashing attempt.

My question is "how comparable is McGregor's style vs Machida's?" the reason I ask is because at first Lyoto went undefeated until he won the LHW championship. Eventually however, he started getting beat. Is this because people figured out his style or was it just a matter of being an old champion? Will the same happen to McGregor considering he follows a traditional Karate stance and fighting style? Will he continue to be successful or will it eventually be figured out?

Hours before Conor McGregor and Jose Aldo entered the Octagon to battle the for undisputed UFC featherweight championship in Las Vegas, heavyweight kingpin Fabricio Werdum told the media at the MGM Grand Garden Arena that "The Notorious’" team reached out to Rafael Cordeiro to train at Kings MMA for a few days.

Anthony Pettis and Jose Aldo have some history. Or, at least, they almost did. In February of 2013, Pettis was set to drop to featherweight to challenge Aldo for the title, something that never materialized when Pettis withdrew from the fight due to injury.

The last time we talked I told you when we speak again, the sport will have changed. In some ways it didn't, in other ways, it'll never the be same. Conor McGregor is your new featherweight king, but who saw Jose Aldo last no more than 13 seconds? Even those calling for a first-round KO never thought he'd be wiped out in a single exchange. There's so much to unravel here, we'll do our best to make it happen.

Then there's the rest of UFC 194. Читать дальше...

The tough part of hindsight in sports is that it is often too easy to pinpoint the exact moment the tide turned in a contest. In the case of UFC 194's co-main event, that moment came midway through the third round, when Chris Weidman threw an ill-advised spinning wheel kick and Luke Rockhold immediately and deftly took him to the canvas.

Jesus inspired post-fight speeches are a common site in MMA. Most fighters are openly religious, however only a handful are self-admitted atheists. Let's explore a list of some of the biggest stars in MMA that have come out of the closet.

UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor is already drawing comparisons to Muhammad Ali, but not everyone's happy about it.

The betting odds for UFC 194's main event between Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor were a subject of pre-fight discussion. At times, McGregor was the favorite over the long-reigning champion in Aldo, angering Aldo sympathizers and generally causing somewhat of a stir. If there's a rematch, however, the odds likely won't be nearly as controversial.

Conor McGregor likes to brag about doing record-setting numbers, and like in his fights, he backs it up.
