- Molly McCann will move down to Strawweight after UFC London defeat
Molly McCann is changing her weight division In the co-main event of UFC London last Saturday, McCann had a difficult day at the office as he was defeated by Julija Stoliarenko in under two minutes. McCann suffered his second straight defeat, and both came in a lopsided manner. Due to this, "Meatball" declared in an Instagram post on Monday that she had her sights set on the 115-pound weight class. She wrote in an Instagram post: āNow that the dusts settled Iād like to thank the UFC staff and all at TNT Sports for the opportunity to co-main at The 02 in front of the best fans in the world. If you could only imagine the sacrifices and work that went into the build up and that fight camp. I canāt quite put into words. However I will try to [sum] it up. I have always had the toughest road and journey in life, thatās just the Molly McCann way, and Iām okay with that. The highs are the highest and the lows, well I donāt think I have words that do the pain and hurt justice. But dare to dream ay! If thereās one thing I know, itās how to always overcome adversity and this is no different. Twenty months ago I was sitting in this same position, 2 back to back losses and ready to pack it in. Then a boss run and my world changed forever. We have one more adjustment to make and I believe that will make all the difference in the world, the smallest in the division makes it tough when the opponents are so much bigger. So for me itās time to drop down and face the girls who are the same size! To all the keyboard warriors whoāll give me down the banks and want to tell me about my self go ahead, Iām living my dream EVERY SINGLE DAY, Iām winning in life, the best teams around me, the best promotion in the world. This game has give me everything, and I am beyond blessed. With the exception of catchweight fights in both her professional and UFC debuts, McCann, one of the most popular English female fighters in the UFC, competed for the great duration of her career at 125 pounds. The 33-year-old Liverpudlian has been a promotional lynchpin for the UFC's recent events in London and has compiled a 6-5 record since joining the organisation in 2018.

- Could be the fight of the year!!!
Tomorrow we will see two champions in their prime fight for the WBC, WBO sĆŗper bantamweight world titles. Fulton is currently the champion but he must defend against the "Monster" Inoe which will be no easy task. Alot of people have Inoe as a favorite but forget that Fulton is the champ for a reason and that after weight-ins he will balloon up 8-10 lbs on the other hand Inoe wont go up much because he is moving up in weight. After rehydration Fulton will look alot bigger and because of the slight weight advantage he might be stronger that Inoe.

- Tszyu wants Charlo stripped!!
Intrim superwelterweight WBO champ Tim Tszyu wants the WBO to strip Charlo. "The fact that he [Jermell] hasn't fought in a year and a half. I've been mandated to fight for the WBO title. It's too much politics. If he's not fighting, the belts have to be vacated. It's quite simple. It's not fair. The whole division is being held up because of him, It doesn't make any sense to me." -Tim Tszyu Is he right?? Is he right to want what is fair?

- Jon Jones reacts to Tom Aspinallās callout after UFC London win
Tom Aspinall made a statement in the UFC heavyweight division with a stunning first-round knockout of Marcin Tybura in the main event of UFC London. The British fighter bounced back from his injury setback and put himself in the mix for a title shot with his dominant performance. He also wasted no time in calling out the champion, Jon Jones, who had a brief reply for him. Aspinall (13-3 MMA) had not fought since July 2022, when he suffered a knee injury and a loss to Curtis Blaydes. That snapped his eight-fight winning streak, which included five finishes in the UFC. He was eager to prove himself against Tybura (24-8 MMA), who was riding a two-fight winning streak and ranked No. 7 in the division. The fight did not last long, as Aspinall landed a crisp right hand that dropped Tybura early in the first round. He followed up with some vicious ground and pound that forced the referee to stop the fight at 1:13 of the opening frame. It was Aspinallās sixth knockout win in the UFC and his ninth overall. In his post-fight interview, Aspinall laid out his plans for his next move. He said he would go to Paris to watch the upcoming fight between Cyril Gane and Serghei Spivak, who are set to fight for the interim heavyweight title. He said he would beat the winner of that fight and then challenge Jones for the undisputed belt. Jones (28-1 MMA) is the current UFC heavyweight champion, having moved up from light heavyweight last year. He has not fought since he defeated Stipe Miocic by unanimous decision in March 2022 to claim the title. He has been waiting for a worthy challenger to emerge, and he might have found one in Aspinall. Jones responded to Aspinallās callout on Twitter with a simple message: āSounds good lolā. He did not seem too impressed or intimidated by Aspinallās performance or words, but he also did not dismiss him outright. He might be interested in facing him if he can back up his claims and beat either Gane or Spivak. This is a potential fight that could generate a lot of interest and excitement among fans and media. Jones is widely regarded as one of the best fighters of all time, having dominated two divisions and defended his titles multiple times. Aspinall is a rising star with knockout power and charisma, who could pose a serious threat to Jonesā reign. It remains to be seen if this fight will materialize, but it is definitely one to watch out for.
- Mike Tyson wants to train Francis Ngannou for his boxing debut
Francis Ngannou, the former UFC heavyweight champion, is set to make his pro boxing debut later this year against none other than Tyson Fury, the WBC heavyweight champion. This is a huge crossover fight that has divided the opinions of fans and experts alike. Some think Ngannou has a chance to pull off a stunning upset with his knockout power, while others think Fury is too skilled and experienced for him. Ngannou knows he has a lot to learn in the sweet science, and he has expressed his interest in getting some advice from some of the legends of the sport, such as Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis. Tyson, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest heavyweights of all time, has responded positively to Ngannouās request. In a recent interview, Tyson said he would like to train with Ngannou and help him prepare for his boxing debut. āIād like to do that. Thatād be cool Iād like that, yeah. Iād like that,ā Tyson said. This would be a fascinating collaboration between two of the most fearsome punchers in combat sports history. Tyson has a wealth of knowledge and experience in boxing, having won multiple world titles and fought some of the best fighters of his era. Ngannou has a raw talent and athleticism that could benefit from Tysonās guidance and tips. Fury, on the other hand, probably wonāt be too concerned about who Ngannou trains with. He is confident in his own abilities and believes he is the best boxer in the world. He has faced and beaten some of the toughest opponents in his division, including Deontay Wilder and Wladimir Klitschko. He will not underestimate Ngannou, but he will also not fear him. This is a fight that has the potential to be a blockbuster event that will attract fans from both MMA and boxing. It will also be a test of Ngannouās skills and determination in a new sport. With Tyson on his side, he might have a better chance to shock the world and become a two-sport champion.

- Whats your opinion on all the sanctioning bodies ?
Now a days you have so many sanctioning bodies and championships but only 4 are taken seriously (WBC, WBA, WBO, IBF ). Many regard the WBC as the most Important because its affiliated to more countries than the rest of the organizations. We know that the WBA was the first ,then came the WBC , then the IBF and last the WBO. We now see the IBO gaining strength in many countries and with many promotors. We must remember that the promotor pays the sanctioning fees but the fighter brings attention to the organization, lately GGG, AJ , Vladimir Klitschko brought attention to the IBO Title. Now its becoming more popular amongst everyone in the fight game. I personally like the Ring Magazine Title because its given to the best in every division, with all the corruptión with all the sanctioning bodies I dont want to name one in particular but they are known to baby the their champs and allow them to fight anyone and dont make them fight their mandatory or they make up a title so the champion wont loose their title hahaha all for the sake of $$$$$. Thats why I favor the Ring Magazine belt over the rest because they dont have conflict in interests.
