Women’s bare knuckle boxing does not have many constants. The sport is unforgiving, chaotic, and brutally honest. Careers rise and fall quickly. Champions rarely last long. Then there is Christine Ferea. Ferea is not just a champion. She is the standard. She is currently the #1 ranked woman in the world at 125lbs.

Canelo Álvarez was fighting a battle no one knew about. One of his brothers had been kidnapped in Mexico — and instead of going to the authorities, Canelo handled it himself.

Before the fame, before the controversy, Tate was a legit world‑level kickboxer with real belts, real knockouts, and real time under bright lights. He’s been in deep waters, fought killers, and proved he can handle pressure. That part isn’t up for debate.

A sequence of events unfolded that feels less like coincidence and more like correction. The kind of cosmic course adjustment that fight fans joke about but secretly hope for. The omens are here. If momentum means anything, 2026 could be one of the most honest years combat sports has had in a long time.

Tyson Fury may have stepped away from boxing, but the debates surrounding his two fights with Oleksandr Usyk continue to burn. And if you ask Fury himself, there’s no debate at all. The former heavyweight champion remains adamant that he defeated Usyk both times, going as far as to say the rematch “wasn’t even close.”

In 2021, the UFC was overflowing with rising stars, but few carried the same electric volatility as Ilia Topuria and Petr Yan. Though they competed in different divisions, the idea of these two precision-driven predators sharing the Octagon became one of those whispered “what if” scenarios among hardcore fans — a fantasy matchup built on violence, technique, and the kind of competitive fire that defines champions.

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. From massive weight loss to a Fight of the Night UFC debut, his rise is proof that persistence still matters in combat sports. Judging by his trajectory, this is only the beginning.

Boxing purists never thought they’d see this matchup. YouTube sensation turned boxer Jake Paul stepping into the ring against two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua? Here we are and make no mistake, this fight is far more complex than “boxer vs. influencer.” Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul is going to be a phenomenal fight and the stakes couldn't be higher.

When the WBC announced they were stripping Terence “Bud” Crawford of his Super Middleweight world title for non payment of sanctioning fees, the combat sports world erupted. One of the greatest fighters of this era is a man who conquered multiple divisions, dethroned Canelo Álvarez, and remains undefeated at 168 yet suddenly found himself without one of his belts. FIGHT.TV explains why Terence Crawford was stripped of his WBC Title.

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. Yan returns looking to avenge his loss, reestablish himself as a force in the UFC bantamweight division, and claim his throne. Their first fight ended in a decisive win for The Machine with a commanding display of wrestling, pressure, and control. This rematch will test whether Yan has learned from that defeat and whether Dvalishvi

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.

Fight fixing isn’t a new concept. It isn’t shocking. It isn’t something unique to modern MMA. It’s an uncomfortable truth that has existed in combat sports for over a century, from smoky backroom boxing matches to today’s massive global promotions. What is new however, is the way modern technology especially sports betting has amplified the risks. The money and the scrutiny around it all. The UFC betting scandals sounds like a new problem, it's not.

UFC 322 delivers one of the most intriguing stylistic clashes in recent memory: Islam Makhachev, the pound-for-pound king and lightweight champion moving up to welterweight, versus Jack Della Maddalena, the Australian sharpshooter with elite boxing, patience, and lethal finishing instincts.

When you talk about the most dangerous fighters to ever step into a ring, one name always ignites the debate - “Iron” Mike Tyson. 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

In Abu Dhabi for UFC 321, the long-anticipated heavyweight title fight between Tom Aspinall (15-3) and Ciryl Gane (13-2) ended in farce rather than finish. At 4:35 of the opening round, Gane delivered an accidental eye pokes that left Aspinall unable to continue and the bout ruled a No Contest.

In an era where branding often overshadows authenticity, Derek “Moneyberg” Buczkowski has mastered one thing above all: self-promotion. From his early days in the controversial Real Social Dynamics dating coach scene to his modern reinvention as a BJJ black belt entrepreneur and financial guru, Buczkowski has built a reputation on transformation. Even when that transformation looks suspiciously manufactured.

Conor McGregor has never been one to hold back, whether it’s inside the octagon or on social media. Recently, McGregor took to Instagram to vent his frustration over the treatment of fighters during Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) events, particularly the decision not to interview Conor Tierney after his title defense at BKFC 77. While McGregor’s recent controversies may cast doubt on his approach at times, when it comes to promoting in the combat sports world, he’s

If Dvalishvili and Welch squared off in the cage, it would become quickly apparent that Dvalishvili holds significant advantages. Welch, while adept at imparting strategies, would struggle to apply his coaching insights when faced with a competitor of Dvalishvili's caliber.

In the world of combat sports, the length of a fighter's career can vary drastically. Some fighters opt for long careers that span decades, while others choose to walk away while still at the peak of their abilities. The question of how long a professional fighter’s career should be is a complex one, influenced by a variety of factors, including health, performance, and personal goals. The answer isn’t one-size-fits-all

In a street fight, survival often trumps style. The goal is not to win by points or show off your technical prowess, but to incapacitate your opponent quickly and create an opportunity to escape. Street fighting is chaotic, and anything goes. Knowing how to use "dirty" tactics can make a huge difference when you're faced with an untrained or unpredictable attacker.
