Many of you boxing fan's from the early 2000's may remember this madman from Nicaragua that became a star by knocking out ex world champion Vernon Forrest (RIP) to become a world champion. He fought the very best in his day. De La Hoya, Trinidad, Cotto and Mosley just to name a few greats that shared the ring with him. He won 3 world championships in his caótic career. He didnt have the technique that other champions from Nicaragua had like Argüello, González, Álvarez and the Alvarado brothers, but he had guts to spare and always put on a show for the fans. I reguard him as one of the best to ever come out of Nicaragua, win or loose he would always go in and fight.

Undisputed168lbs world champion Canelo Álvarez stated that his first 2 out of 3 fights signed with PBC will be against the Charlo twins. Charlos are excited for the opportunity and ofcourse the big payday that comes with it. It wont be an easy task for Canelo but I do believe he will beat both Charlo brothers. Hopefully at the end of the contract we will see him fight the mexican monster David Benavides. Thats really the fight the fans want to see.

WBO superlightweight champion Teofimo Lopez stated he isnt going to retire just yet and calls out Devin Haney. Both fighters are free-agents at the moment, we will see what promotion company will jump on this mega fight.

Undisputed World champion Devin " The Dream" Haney was arrested Today for concealed gun possesion, the gun was found under the driver seat of his car, Devin was in the passenger seat but was agrrested because the car was in his name. He paid bail of 35,000 dollars and said the casé will be resolved . His father stated that it was a misunderstanding and that the gun belongs to Devins private security, so he is confident everything will be sorted out.

Francis Ngannou is in the prime of his life. On Tuesday, the former UFC heavyweight champion stunned many by agreeing to the long-desired boxing superfight with the unbeaten WBC champion Tyson Fury. The current fight between the two heavyweight titans is set for October 28 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and according to Marquel Martin, Ngannou's longtime agent, "The Predator" is expected to earn the kind of money that most combat athletes can only hope of. “Let’s just say this: The bag is so big, he may actually just drop it on the way to the bank,” Martin said Wednesday on The MMA Hour. “Let’s just say that. I don’t know what the haters are trying to say right now, I kind of just blocked it out, but they’ll just be proven wrong again. This is life-changing. This is exactly what we planned and visualized, so we’re happy.” Martin said Ngannou is expected to earn more for the Fury fight than he would’ve earned throughout the life of the UFC’s final contract offer to Ngannou, which included a blockbuster defense of his heavyweight title against Jon Jones. When asked if Ngannou is set to earn more for his boxing debut than he made in his 14 prior UFC bouts combined, three of which were title bouts, Martin answered in the affirmative. “Oh my God. I mean, by far. By multiples,” Martin said. One of the main causes of Ngannou's extraordinary exit from the UFC despite holding the heavyweight championship of the organisation was his desire to box. While under contract, UFC executives refused to let the Cameroonian pursue a boxing payday, but Ngannou has always been interested in facing Fury. Even after Fury defeated Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium in April 2022, Ngannou made an unexpected entrance alongside Fury in the ring.

Even though Amanda Nunes is no longer around, Ronda Rousey's return is not guaranteed just because she left. Some in the MMA community thought that Rousey might make a comeback in the hopes of reclaiming the bantamweight title she had previously successfully defended six times after Nunes declared her retirement from the sport following a blowout victory at UFC 289. After losing to Nunes, Rousey decided to give up fighting. These days, she is concentrating on her job in professional wrestling, where she is still a big draw for WWE. Holly Holm, who probably delivered the most infamous head kick in UFC history to end Rousey's reign as champion, is eager to dismiss any rumours of a potential comeback. Holm recommends that everyone should let Rousey continue in her own life and find happiness as she is instead of interfering. “She’s doing her thing. Let her live,” Holm told MMA Fighting. “Obviously she’s not passionate about fighting anymore. Let her do her thing. She’s still active. She’s still living her life. She’s still doing her thing. Let her do it. Rousey won't suddenly go on loan to return to MMA even though the UFC and WWE will soon work together through a new business established under the Endeavour brand. Holm is also aware from personal experience that not everyone enjoys fighting enough to desire to continue competing in it for as long as she has. There are many obstacles to overcome, and Holm is aware of why someone would decide to give up.

Former UFC champion Georges St-Pierre is set to make a comeback, but this time it won't be inside the Octagon. The Canadian MMA legend will be stepping onto the mats for a grappling match at Fight Pass Invitational 6 in December, marking his first combat sports appearance in six years. St-Pierre's return has ignited excitement among fans, and he has some intriguing names in mind for potential opponents. While details regarding weight class and ruleset are yet to be finalized, St-Pierre emphasized the importance of finding an opponent and situation that will captivate the fans. One name that has consistently surfaced in discussions is Khabib Nurmagomedov, but St-Pierre believes a showdown with the retired lightweight champion is unlikely to materialize this time around. "I think he's retired. His name was not on the list, not in the talk. I think he's retired, and I'm not sure if he's still in the circus of doing martial arts right now," St-Pierre shared during an interview on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani. However, a rematch with Nick Diaz, a former opponent, seems to be a more realistic option. St-Pierre acknowledged Diaz's grappling prowess and expressed his interest in the matchup. "That could be an interesting one. He's a very good grappler. In grappling, he's got more experience than me. So I would have to make sure I come very well-prepared for that one if it's Nick Diaz," St-Pierre revealed. In addition to Diaz, St-Pierre mentioned current UFC welterweights Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington as potential opponents. While acknowledging the challenges of aligning their fight schedules for the December event, St-Pierre didn't rule out the possibility of facing them in the future. He expressed his desire to participate in multiple grappling matches, considering this as an opportunity to venture beyond his comfort zone and test his skills under different rules. "I want to do more than one. I want to test the water. I've never done this before. It's a different set of rules that I never did. I'm going to be outside of my comfort zone, and that's a fun thing," St-Pierre stated. Georges St-Pierre's imminent return to competition, albeit in grappling, has reignited the fans' enthusiasm. Whether he faces off against Nick Diaz, Kamaru Usman, Colby Covington, or someone else entirely, one thing is certain: St-Pierre's comeback is eagerly anticipated, and his presence will undoubtedly elevate the UFC's grappling endeavors.

UFC light heavyweight champion Jamahal Hill is eager to make his first title defense, and while Jiri Prochazka was originally slated as the next challenger, Hill is eyeing an alternative option. If Prochazka isn't ready to step back into the octagon soon, Hill has his sights set on the victor of the Jan Blachowicz vs. Alex Pereira matchup, taking place as the co-headliner at UFC 291 on July 29. Hill, who secured the vacant heavyweight belt by dominating Glover Teixeira at UFC 283, has grown impatient while waiting for Prochazka to recover from a severe shoulder injury. He expressed his belief that the next deserving contender should step up in Prochazka's absence, and that man is not Magomed Ankalaev. “In my personal opinion, (Ankalaev) hasn't earned the shot – just like Jan has to go out and get another shot, and get another win because it ended in a draw," Hill candidly shared at UFC X during International Fight Week. While some argue that Ankalaev should be in the title conversation, Hill firmly believes that he needs to secure another victory before earning his shot. The same applies to Blachowicz, who faced a draw in his last outing against Ankalaev. With no official date or opponent in place for Hill's next bout, he remains confident that he will step back into the octagon before the year's end. “One hundred percent, I expect to fight again this year," Hill assured. "I would have liked to have already fought again and been looking out to fight in another fight, but I definitely, 100 percent expect to fight before the end of this year." As the anticipation builds for Hill's first title defense, the possibility of facing either Blachowicz or Pereira, both formidable opponents in their own right, adds an intriguing twist to the light heavyweight division. With Hill's determination to solidify his reign as the champion, fans can expect an electrifying matchup that will showcase the relentless spirit of the division's best.

On Saturday in Las Vegas Nevada, the former super lightweight world champion Viktor Postol makes a comeback. Viktor Postol made his last fight in February 2022 when he lost to Gary Antuanne Russell.

In a shocking revelation, Ciryl Gane has shed light on the key mistake he made that resulted in his submission loss to Jon Jones in their highly anticipated heavyweight title fight. Speaking candidly about the bout, Gane disclosed that a single ill-fated punch ultimately sealed his fate. Entering the octagon with unwavering confidence, Gane found himself in a precarious position mere moments into the fight. Reflecting on the crucial moment, the Frenchman admitted to an error in managing his distance, a mistake that Jones astutely capitalized on to bring the fight to the ground. "I don't know why exactly, but I cannot manage my distance very well during some moments, and I did a mistake," Gane revealed to MMAJunkie. "Maybe he knew already I'm going to do this mistake, and he took his opportunity... During all the camp Fernand Lopez told me every time we started training, jab and no big hand. Just jab. And what I did? A big hand. Big mistake, and he took the opportunity." Once the fight descended to the mat, Jones swiftly capitalized, securing a submission that forced Gane to tap out. Although the loss was swift, Gane emphasized that he wasn't caught off guard by Jones' formidable strength or grappling skills, as he had adequately prepared for those aspects. Instead, it was the critical mistake that allowed the fight to reach the ground that ultimately cost him victory. In hindsight, Gane believed he had been finding success on his feet, noting that Jones' speed did not live up to his initial expectations. However, the failure to manage distance and the subsequent takedown shattered any chances of capitalizing on his striking prowess. "He was not fast," Gane recalled. "Maybe he was not fast, but I was not good, too. I didn't manage my distance. I was not good, but I remember he was not fast... He had power because he touched me, I don't remember where, but he landed some punches with power, but not fast." This revelation from Gane not only highlights the significance of precision and strategy in the unforgiving realm of mixed martial arts but also emphasizes the fine margins that determine victory or defeat. As he continues his journey in the heavyweight division, fans and pundits alike will eagerly await his redemption, armed with the lessons learned from his pivotal mistake against Jon Jones.
