TEMECULA, Calif. – Ruben Warr: Maybe remember that name in BKFC from now on. Warr put himself on the map last Friday at BKFC Fight Night: Temecula, where he sparked Robbie Peralta with a scintillating 6-second knockout in the main event. Afterward, Warr caught up with MMA Junkie Radio at Pechanga Resort Casino and reveled
At the UFC 305 on-sale press conference, heated rivals Dricus du Plessis and Israel Adesnaya will go face-to-face for the first time ahead of their middleweight championship main event.

The Ultimate Fighter 32 just gave fans one of the best fights of the year. In a bout that needed another five minutes, Team Valentina Shevchenko featherweight Zygimantas Ramaska (9-2) out-slugged Team Alexa Grasso’s Bekhzod Usmonov (11-4) to win a decision in an exhilarating two-round contest on the latest TUF 32 episode. Shevchenko closed the
Tensions were high during the first staredown between Dricus du Plessis and Israel Adesanya since their championship bout announced. Du Plessis will defend his newly won title against the former champion in the main event of UFC 305 on Aug. 17 at RAC Arena in Perth, Western Australia. The heated rivals took part in the
Manel Kape doesn’t play games outside the octagon. When “Starboy” makes it to fight night, he’s not to be trifled with there either. Unfortunately, the problem has just been keeping that a consistent theme. Whether his or his opponent’s fault, the flyweight contender Kape has amassed nine UFC fight cancelations since arriving off the heels
Israel Adesanya added a new hobby during his break from competition, and middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis believes that after UFC 305, it will be something his rival will be doing a lot more of in the future. Du Plessis and Adesanya shared the stage during Tuesday’s UFC 305 on-sale press conference in Perth, Australia,
Jorge Masvidal is all about competition. But a little bad blood never hurt to sell a fight. “Gamebred” meets Nate Diaz in the boxing ring this Saturday, nearly five years after their first meeting at UFC 244 that Masvidal won by doctor stoppage to become the inaugural “BMF” champion. For the most part, Masvidal and
LAS VEGAS — Former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Julianna Peña is expecting to get the opportunity to become a two-time world champion, she’s just waiting for the paperwork to go through. Peña is expected to challenge new champion, and fellow cast member on season 18 of The Ultimate Fighter Raquel Pennington later on this year,
While his power rightfully gets top billing, two other pieces that make Pereira so dangerous are the fact that he’s technically sharp and possesses an insane ability to synthesize information on the fly, as well. The kick that short circuited Prochazka’s system was swift, clean, and the correct tactical choice, as well — a strike he
Like Harrison, Michael “Venom” Page arrived in the UFC as an already established star, so he was thrown into the deep end of the welterweight pool with matchups against Kevin Holland and Ian Machado Garry. And while he emerged with a 1-1 record in those bouts, beating Holland and losing a decision to Machado Garry,
Then, on fight day, Ortega turned up with a massive fever that resulted in his being removed from the bout and replaced by Ige, a Las Vegas resident who drove to T-Mobile Arena, weighed in, and stepped into the Octagon to compete, all in the span of about four hours on Saturday. And then Lopes
Islam Makhachev remains the UFC lightweight champion after collecting a fifth-round submission win. The champion put Poirier on the canvas quickly in the first, advancing to his back and staying there for the remainder of the round. Poirier defended well throughout, and the remainder of the fight was scrappier and more competitive, with the challenger
The former featherweight champion was sharp from the start, using his long punches to pick at Gaethje early before shattering his nose with a spinning back kick on the buzzer at the end of the first round. From there, “Blessed” continued to consistently land the better shots, stinging Gaethje on multiple occasions while weathering the
The 135-pound division saw a lot of movement after Macy Chiasson and Mayra Bueno Silva faced off this weekend. Bueno Silva lost to Chiasson after having the fight stopped in the second round due to a nasty cut above her eyebrow. The loss moves her down three spots to No. 6. Meanwhile, Macy Chiasson moved
Outlook: Procházka looked a little rusty coming back for his first fight in nearly 18 months, but he seemed to find his rhythm in the second round of his title fight against Pereira. That is, however, until he ran into a couple hooks and an onslaught of clinch strikes, ending the fight in the second
In partnership with the Western Australian Government, through Tourism Western Australia, this event marks UFC’s third show in Perth with a Pay-Per-View event following the success of UFC 221: ROMERO vs. ROCKHOLD in February 2018 and record-breaking UFC 284: MAKHACHEV vs. VOLKANOVSKI last year. UFC 284: MAKHACHEV vs. VOLKANOVSKI delivered an estimated AUD $42.8 million of
Usmonov lounges in the backyard with Guillermo Torres, explaining why he loves traveling so much before explaining in an interstitial interview that he moved from his native Tajikistan with his father when he was 10 years old to Yekaterinburg, Russia.
