Jimi Manuwa is not a big fan of Daniel Cormier.

The UFC light heavyweight contender doesn't think the 205-pound titleholder is as good as some make him out to be. In Cormier’s last defense, earlier this year at UFC 210, Manuwa was sitting cageside witnessing the action as Cormier rematched dangerous striker Anthony Johnson. Yet, despite Cormier finishing the fight in the second round, Manuwa was not impressed by the Olympic wrestler’s performance. In fact, Manuwa believes that if he were the one in the Octagon with the champ... Читать дальше...

Travis Browne clearly hasn’t forgotten Derrick Lewis’ words.

Heading into their UFC Fight Night 105 main event in February, Lewis made repeated references to accusations of domestic abuse made against Browne. No charges were ever filed against Browne and an independent investigation found “inconclusive evidence.”

Nonetheless, after Lewis defeated Browne via a brutal knockout, he persisted, once again referencing Browne’s allegations on the mic and throwing in a questionable comment about Browne’s fiancee, Ronda Rousey. Читать дальше...

Mark Hunt is still here, he’s still kicking. And after his fourth-round TKO win over Derrick Lewis, “The Super Samoan” is angling for some rematches against foes who have beaten him in the past.

The life of a professional fighter isn't all glitz and glamour.

As if getting punched, kicked, kneed, choked and twisted into a pretzel on a regular basis isn't enough, fighters attract a general wackiness that makes their lives, well...interesting.

To commemorate these day-to-day hardships, slip-ups, pranks, and more, we bring you, "The Weekly Grind."

It’s a worn out cliché in sports just as it is in life, but tomorrow really shouldn’t be taken for granted. That couldn’t be truer than in the fight game, where people sometimes go from hunting jaws to dropping them by spontaneously retiring after a bout. It happened at UFC 210 in Buffalo, when 33-year old Anthony Johnson caught everybody off guard by calling it a career after a loss to Daniel Cormier.

The possibility of a fight between Demetrious Johnson and T.J. Dillashaw isn’t just one of the most polarizing stories of the week in MMA. It’s the latest example of one of the biggest trends of 2017.

Derrick Lewis’ run in the UFC might have come to an end.

The heavyweight prospect unexpectedly announced a possible retirement following his technical knockout loss to MMA veteran Mark Hunt at Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 110 in Auckland, New Zealand.

Lewis was stopped by Hunt in the fourth round of their main event bout after a being dominated for the majority of the fight. The 32-year-old heavyweight seemed to have trouble moving in the Octagon halfway through his fight with Hunt. Читать дальше...

Count Travis Browne in as one of the heavyweights who was watching the fights tonight. He had some choice words for Derrick Lewis from his Instagram account after Lewis' TKO loss to Mark Hunt:

Mark Hunt got a little extra for his big win over Derrick Lewis on Saturday night.

Wow. At 43-years-old, Mark Hunt TKO’d one of the top UFC heavyweight prospects in Derrick Lewis tonight. Let me rephrase--the oldest active fighter on the UFC roster just outclassed and TKO'd a top prospect with the longest active win streak in the UFC heavyweight division. Given Hunt’s recent turmoil with the UFC, this is a less than ideal situation for the promotion.

UFC Fight Night 110 was full of finishes.

In the main event of the card, former K-1 kickboxing champion and MMA veteran Mark Hunt stopped rising prospect Derrick Lewis in the fourth round of their heavyweight contest.

Additionally on the card, Derek Brunson, Dan Hooker, Ben Nguyen and Vinc Pichel picked up quick stoppages over their respective opponents. Читать дальше...

It was an oddly paced fight, a strange finish and the aftermath was even more surprising.

The New Zealand crowd couldn’t have asked for anything better.

Daniel Hooker, its hometown boy, knocked out Ross Pearson with a standing knee at 3:02 of the second round Saturday night on the UFC Fight Night 110 main card in Auckland.

Pearson, a UFC vet, was having success against the younger Hooker in the lightweight contest. But when he dipped his head down during a combination, Hooker capitalized — and sent Pearson’s mouthpiece flying with a devastating knee. Pearson was out immediately. Читать дальше...

Cyborgs love-tap on Magana is vilified by Dana.

Once again, just like I said in the DJ strong arm tactic discussion, Fuck Dana.

Further evidence/Mic Drop Moment Incoming:

Remember when JJ and Claudia got into a brawl after TUF filming? We never got video of it, so the entire event is alleged, but when Dana went around to multiple media outlets to talk about the brawl (which reportedly... Читать дальше...

Vinc Pichel looked far from rusty in his return to the Octagon.

The lightweight fighter scored a brutal knockout over Damien Brown at Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 110 in Auckland, New Zealand. Pichel caught Brown with a clean right hook that immediately dropped Brown to the canvas. Pichel just needed a few more follow up shots to force the referee to waive off the bout.

This fight marked Pichel’s first MMA competition in the last three years. The 34-year-old fighter last fought at... Читать дальше...
