Conor McGregor, the former two-division UFC champion, has expressed his desire to complete his trilogy with Nate Diaz. McGregor is recovering from a leg injury he suffered in his third fight with Dustin Poirier in July 2021, which he lost by doctor stoppage. After the defeat, McGregor took a break from the USADA testing pool and was rumored to face Michael Chandler next, but he denied any interest in fighting the ex-Bellator champ. Instead, he said he was focused on settling his score with Diaz, who beat him in their first encounter and lost in their rematch. However, Diaz is no longer in the UFC and recently lost to Jake Paul in a boxing match. McGregor commented on Diaz’s performance and said he wished him to return to MMA. He also said he felt obligated to give Diaz a third fight, as Diaz did for him. “It was not great, not great,” McGregor said in an interview with All Out Fighting. “I’d like to see him back in MMA. You know I owe him a fight, I owe Nate a fight. So I’ve got to obligate that. He gave me the rematch, I got the better of him, and I owe him the trilogy for sure.” However, there are many obstacles that prevent the trilogy from happening. For one thing, McGregor is still not in the USADA testing pool, which delayed his planned comeback in December against Chandler. Moreover, Diaz has not signed with any promotion yet, and the rumors of him joining the PFL for a rematch with Paul have died down. Will Conor McGregor fight Nate Diaz? Comment and let us know.

ONE Championship legend Angela Lee is set to retire from MMA. The ONE Championship star, who has been with the promotion for a long time, retired from MMA and gave up her ONE 115-pound title on Friday night at ONE Fight Night 14 in Singapore. Lee made this decision after she shared in a Players Tribune essay that she tried to kill herself in a car crash in 2017 and that her sister Victoria Lee, who was 18 years old, died by suicide in 2022. Lee has suffered a lot because of these events, which led her to end her fighting career and hang up her gloves. “This year has been the most difficult year of my life,” Lee said with tears in her eyes. “I’m trying to move on and rebuild my life.” “I’m here today to officially announce my retirement. It has been an amazing eight years. I want to thank the fans, ONE Championship, Chatri [Sityodtong], my teams, and everyone else. I have faced many challenges, inside and outside the cage. “The last thing I want to say is this: To the fighters and to everyone who is watching right now, the hardest battle we will ever face is not with an opponent who is standing in front of us. The hardest battle is with ourselves. We all have struggles, but we all fight. And every day, we are victorious when we decide to overcome adversity. Thank you so much, I love you. Thank you.” Lee grew up in a martial arts family and started competing in Pankration tournaments and learning Brazilian jiu-jitsu when she was very young. Lee later switched to MMA, where she joined ONE Championship when she was only 18 years old. She had an immediate impact with the promotion. Lee won five consecutive fights to start her career and then became the first ONE 115-pound champion in 2016 when she was only 19 years old. She defended her title five times in her career and also competed in several fights at 125 pounds. Lee fought for the last time in October 2022, losing a decision to the current ONE 125-pound champion Xiong Jingnan in a third fight after they each won one of the previous two fights. After her sister’s death, Lee took a long break from the sport. ONE CEO Chatri Sityodtong said before that she was thinking about retiring, but she did not make it official until Friday. Lee said that her goal now is to work with FightStory, a non-profit organization that she started in memory of Victoria that helps people share their own stories about mental health. Lee’s career ends with an 11-3 record overall. She is still undefeated at 115 pounds.

In the tumultuous world of mixed martial arts, rivalries and matchups often take unexpected twists and turns. One such rivalry that continues to capture the imagination of fight fans worldwide is the brewing clash between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler. Conor McGregor, the former two-division UFC champion, made it abundantly clear that his sights are still set on facing Michael Chandler when he returns to the octagon. McGregor's emphatic statement came during an interview with All Out Fighting, where he left no room for doubt. "Yes, it has to be," McGregor asserted when asked about Chandler as his next opponent. "Has to be. Chandler, sit down and wait and shut your mouth, yeah? The Mac will be here soon." The saga of McGregor and Chandler began with their roles as opposing coaches on The Ultimate Fighter 31, a season that witnessed their respective team members, Kurt Holobaugh and Brad Katona, emerge as winners in their weight divisions. The anticipation for a showdown between McGregor and Chandler had reached a fever pitch, with a late 2023 date initially on the cards. However, the fight never materialized despite the immense excitement. When questioned about the feasibility of a 2023 bout, McGregor remained optimistic, expressing hope for a December showdown with Chandler. However, with the UFC's recently finalized year-end schedule featuring five championship bouts across the final three pay-per-views of 2023, the likelihood of McGregor's return in 2023 appears slim. UFC CEO Dana White echoed this sentiment, indicating that Conor's return is more likely in the following year, and Chandler's patience may be required. "I got nothing on either one of those guys right now," White stated. "Next year is when Conor's going to fight, and when the time is right for the Conor fight, I'm sure that's the fight he wants." McGregor's return is highly anticipated, given his star power and past achievements in the sport, despite a string of recent losses. The Irishman has been out of action since July 2021 due to a leg injury sustained in a bout against Dustin Poirier. In a surprising twist, McGregor also weighed in on the professional boxing debut of his longtime rival, Nate Diaz, who faced Jake Paul. McGregor expressed disappointment in Diaz's performance and voiced his desire to fulfill a debt owed to Diaz in the world of MMA. "It was not great," McGregor remarked regarding Diaz's boxing match. "I owe him a fight. I owe Nate a fight, so I've got to obligate that. He gave me my rematch, and I got the better of him, and I owe him the trilogy for sure." As the MMA world eagerly awaits Conor McGregor's return, one thing is certain: the rivalry between him and Michael Chandler continues to be a captivating storyline that could redefine the landscape of the sport when it eventually comes to fruition.

Tonight we will see Canelo v.s Charlo, two undisputed champions collide. Canelo is a big favorite in the fight because Charlo is moving up in weight for the fight and lets be honest there is a big difference in opposition, Canelo has fought the best and has alot more experience and after weight ins a slight weight advantage and Charlo is moving up 2 weight divisións for the fight and a long time out of the ring so nobody is giving him a shot. My opinion on this fight is that Charlo has already won, yes thats correct! all he has to do is to step inside the ring and get that paycheck. Ofcourse he is going to try to win and having nothing to lose he can be dangerous. His belts wont be on the líne only Canelo's. Now with him having nothing to lose and getting paid his biggest purse , believe me he can be dangerous, especially if he decides to box Canelo and work his jab. We've seen Canelo being outboxed by a few, so I believe if Charlo does box Canelo he has a shot. Now if he trades blows with Canelo it might be a quick nite for Charlo. My prediction is Canelo by late round KO. If the fight goes the distance Charlo might get the decisión. Dont count out Charlo he has the goods also and he can punch, but ill go with Canelo on this one.

In a seismic announcement that has sent shockwaves through the world of boxing, Tyson Fury has officially revealed that he will step into the ring against Oleksandr Usyk in a colossal heavyweight title unification bout. The long-awaited showdown between these two undefeated boxing titans is poised to take place on December 23rd or sometime in January, pending confirmation. For fight fans around the globe, this announcement comes as a long-anticipated relief, finally putting an end to a protracted negotiation period that had both Fury and Usyk pointing fingers at each other. The tension and verbal jabs exchanged in the lead-up to this announcement have only heightened the anticipation surrounding this epic encounter. The stage for this historic battle is set in the desert kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a nation that has recently emerged as a prominent hub for hosting high-profile sporting events. Fury, no stranger to Saudi Arabia, is scheduled to compete there on October 28th when he takes on former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in a non-title bout in Riyadh. It is worth noting that any injuries sustained in the Ngannou bout could potentially affect the timing of Fury's much-anticipated clash with Usyk. The significance of this fight cannot be overstated, as the winner will be crowned boxing's undisputed heavyweight champion. For Tyson Fury, this marks a pivotal moment in his career, as he previously held this prestigious title in 2015 after a remarkable victory over Wladimir Klitschko. However, a tumultuous period of mental health battles and anti-doping investigations led to Fury vacating his title in 2016, followed by a two-year suspension from competition. His triumphant return to the ring saw him reclaim the WBC belt after defeating Deontay Wilder. On the other side of the ring stands Oleksandr Usyk, who, in September 2021, secured his place among boxing's elite by winning the WBA, IBF, and WBO heavyweight titles with a unanimous decision victory over Anthony Joshua. Usyk's mettle was tested in an immediate rematch with Joshua, where he emerged victorious via a split decision. He further solidified his dominance by defending his titles against mandatory challenger Daniel Dubois, stopping him in the ninth round this past August. Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are set to lock horns, and when they do, one of them will etch their name in the annals of boxing history as the undisputed heavyweight champion. This is a fight that promises fireworks, drama, and glory, and it's a spectacle that no true fight fan can afford to miss.

Sources say that both heavyweight champions have signed the contracts to fight eachother in late december - early january in Saudí Arabia. It looks like a good money making year for Fury , but first he has to get by Ngannou in october to fight Usyk. Fury v.s Usyk will be big for boxing , 2 undefeated heavyweight champions face off . Im excited for it, we just have to wait and see if Ngannou can ruin those plans. I dout it, but then again anything can happen in boxing.

John Lineker, the electrifying Brazilian powerhouse known for his devastating striking, is no exception. As he prepares to make his return to the ONE Championship cage in Singapore this Friday, Lineker is fueled by a burning desire to regain the bantamweight title he once held. Lineker's journey back to the top of the division will see him facing Stephen Loman, a formidable opponent with an impressive 11-fight winning streak. The clash between Lineker and Loman promises to be a thrilling encounter, with the winner earning a shot at the coveted championship belt. "I believe the winner absolutely will fight for the title, but I'm focused on putting on a good fight now," Lineker remarked. "It gives me more motivation to go there and give my 100 percent knowing that there's a chance I'm fighting for the title." Lineker's path to this moment hasn't been without its challenges. His recent victory over Jae Woong Kim in August, achieved through a wild third-round knockout, served as a powerful rebound from a prior defeat to Fabricio Andrade. Lineker's resilience and determination are qualities that have defined his career, making him a fan favorite and a force to be reckoned with in the ONE Championship roster. Speaking of Andrade, Lineker's most recent nemesis, he is set to face Muay Thai champion Jonathan Haggerty for the ONE kickboxing belt later this year. This development has sparked Lineker's interest in exploring new horizons within the ONE Championship ecosystem. "Since ONE gives us the opportunity [to compete in other sports], there's no reason why I wouldn't take advantage of that," Lineker enthusiastically stated. "I hope to be fighting in another sport in the future. If there's a chance to fight in boxing, I would love that." While Lineker's ambitions extend beyond the MMA cage, his immediate focus remains on his upcoming showdown with Loman. He acknowledges the challenges presented by his opponent, emphasizing the need for patience and vigilance in dealing with Loman's movement and takedown attempts. "He's very versatile and tough," Lineker noted. "He moves a lot on the feet and has great footwork and takedowns. I'll go there and search for the knockout at all times, like I always do. That's the type of fight I love, to give fans a show." Regardless of the outcome, Lineker's unwavering determination and thirst for victory are sure to provide fans with unforgettable moments inside the cage and, perhaps, even beyond it.

Alex Pereira, the former UFC middleweight champion and ex-Glory Kickboxing star, is on the verge of making history in the UFC. The Brazilian knockout artist, who goes by the nickname “Poatan”, is set to fight for the vacant light heavyweight title against Jiří Procházka at UFC 295 on November 11 at Madison Square Garden. Pereira earned his shot at the 205-pound belt after defeating Jan Błachowicz, another former champion, in his light heavyweight debut at UFC 291 in July. It was his second win in the UFC, following his stunning knockout of Israel Adesanya, his longtime rival and former middleweight champion, at UFC 281 last November. Pereira had previously expressed his desire to win the light heavyweight title and then go back to middleweight to avenge his loss to Adesanya, who knocked him out in their rematch at UFC 284 in March. However, things have changed since then. Adesanya lost his belt to Sean Strickland, a fighter who Pereira considers a friend and a training partner. In a recent interview, Pereira said that he has no interest in fighting Strickland or returning to middleweight, as he is happy with his new weight class and his friendship with “Tarzan”. "It is not in my plans," Pereira said. "My plan was if Israel Adesanya was still the champ down there, maybe win the light heavyweight belt and make a fight with him. But now, no. Sean's my friend. Also, it's not a weight cut that I'm looking to do. I always made that weight. Never missed weight or anything like that. But it is a hard weight cut. So, right now, it's not in my interest." Pereira’s decision might surprise some fans, as he already has a dominant win over Strickland at UFC 276 last July, when he stopped him with a vicious elbow in the first round. However, Pereira said that he respects Strickland as a fighter and a person, and that he does not want to fight him again. “I have nothing against Sean,” Pereira said. “He’s a great fighter and a great guy. We trained together and we became friends. He deserves to be the champion. I’m happy for him.” Pereira added that he is focused on his upcoming fight with Procházka, who is also a former Glory Kickboxing champion and a knockout specialist. He said that he expects a tough and exciting fight, but he is confident that he will emerge victorious and become the first fighter to hold UFC titles in two different weight classes simultaneously. “I’m ready for Jiří,” Pereira said. “He’s a dangerous opponent, but so am I. We both like to stand and bang, so it’s going to be a war. But I have the power and the skills to knock him out and make history.”

Alexander Volkanovski, the UFC featherweight champion, has been keeping himself busy while waiting for his next fight. He recently teamed up with Jamal Murray, the Denver Nuggets star and NBA champion, for some MMA training. The two athletes, who are both fans of each other’s sports, showed off their skills in a video posted on Volkanovski’s YouTube channel. The video shows Volkanovski and Murray doing some warm-up drills and sparring. Then, they decide to have a friendly grappling match, with Murray having the size advantage over the smaller Volkanovski. The rules are simple: no submissions, just survive for one minute. The match starts with Volkanovski shooting for a takedown, but Murray sprawls and defends well. They scramble for position, with Murray showing some impressive strength and agility. Volkanovski eventually takes Murray’s back and tries to sink in a rear-naked choke, but time runs out before he can finish it. Volkanovski then lets go of the choke and transitions to a guillotine as Murray stands up. He squeezes hard, but Murray refuses to tap and waits for the buzzer. He then celebrates his “victory” over the UFC champ, who congratulates him on his performance. The video ends with Volkanovski giving Murray some tips and compliments on his grappling. The two champions share a hug and express their mutual respect and admiration. Volkanovski says he had a lot of fun training with Murray and hopes to do it again soon. He also says he is ready for his next challenge in the UFC, whoever it may be.

In the high-stakes world of UFC, fighters often walk a tightrope between opportunity and uncertainty. Manel Kape, the dynamic flyweight contender, finds himself at a crossroads, eager to prove his mettle in the Octagon but facing a frustrating roadblock in the form of Kai Kara-France. Kape had been slated to face Kara-France at UFC 293, but a cruel twist of fate intervened when Kara-France suffered a concussion during training, forcing the cancellation of their highly anticipated bout. In the meantime, Kape showcased his skills with a thrilling victory over Felipe dos Santos, reigniting his passion to face Kara-France. However, despite a UFC offer to reschedule the bout, Kape found himself in limbo as he awaited Kara-France's response. In a candid interview with MMA Fighting, Kape expressed his frustration, stating, "I still don’t hear anything from their part. Kai Kara is still thinking about signing the contract. All this energy that was there. It was fake energy. He just doesn’t want to be there. He sees the levels. He really sees the levels with fighting." The tension between Kape and Kara-France had simmered for a while, erupting into fiery exchanges during press conferences and interviews. Kape's win over dos Santos only stoked the flames of anticipation, but Kape believes that Kara-France wants to avoid facing him at all costs. "He’s just a scared little boy," Kape asserted. "It’s my opinion about him. He’s a scared little boy. You can see when I spoke with him after my fight when I was talking with him, you can really see his body language. He was not confident. He knows what is coming for him." Kape, however, is not content to wait indefinitely. His desire to compete and continue his climb up the flyweight ranks burns brightly. If Kara-France continues to hesitate, Kape has another name in mind: Brandon Moreno. The former flyweight champion Moreno is currently without a fight, having last competed in July in a closely contested bout for the title. Kape sees Moreno as a worthy adversary and a potential opponent to keep the momentum going. "We have to think of this option," Kape emphasized. "It really excites me, and it will make me come back to train and put on the hard work all the time." As the clock ticks and opportunities arise, Manel Kape is poised to seize his moment, whether it's against a hesitant Kai Kara-France or the battle-tested Brandon Moreno.
