In 2021, the UFC was overflowing with rising stars, but few carried the same electric volatility as Ilia Topuria and Petr Yan.

Steven Asplund’s story resonates beyond MMA. It’s a reminder that transformation is possible, that discipline compounds, and that the hardest battles often happen before anyone is watching.

He wants a striker. He wants a firefight. He wants to show the world his stand‑up game. Talbott’s camp has been vocal about the evolution of his striking — sharper combinations, improved footwork, and a level of confidence that only comes from surviving the deep end of the wrestling pool. After three straight grappling-heavy matchups, he’s hungry to remind fans why he was considered one of the most dangerous young strikers on the roster in the first place.

This is no longer fantasy matchmaking. Usyk vs Wilder is legitimately being negotiated, and all signs point to both camps wanting it. Sanctioning bodies are open to it. Fans want it. Broadcasters will pay for it. If finalized, it would be one of the most compelling heavyweight fights of the modern era. A battle between brilliance and brutality, finesse and firepower.

At UFC 323 the world watches to see if Dvalishvili can do something history has never seen, defend a UFC title four times in one calendar year.

In the fight game, nobody is coming to save you. The promoters will not protect your wallet. The matchmakers will not build your retirement plan. Just like in the ring, you either take control of your career or get controlled by the system. No one understood this better than Floyd Mayweather. That understanding is what allowed him to transform from a talented but underpaid champion into the highest earning fighter in the history of combat sports.

Whether you love the UFC or criticize it, one thing is undeniable: Dana White’s philosophy of thinking massively bigger than everyone else shaped MMA into a global phenomenon. Business leaders take note, If you aim for the stars and only hit the moon. You still end up higher than everyone who never left the ground.

Strip away the tabloid chaos, the post prison comeback, and the later life redemption arc. Focus on 1986 to 1989 in Tyson’s prime. That three year stretch wasn’t just dominance. It was a nightmare for the heavyweight division. Sports betting for Heavyweight title fights died because nobody dared to bet against a round 1 knockout from Tyson. It was
