Last saturday súper middleweight undisputed champion Saul "Canelo" Álvarez made his world title defense against WBO mandatory John Ryder. Critics have been hitting Canelo hard and saying that maybe his best years are behind him, that Benavides would kill him and that a rematch with Bivol is just nuts . Whats good about Canelo is that he doesnt care about the critics, he does his own thing and he keeps on making money. Like him or not he is still one of the biggest draws in boxing. My personal opinión on this subject is that the critics are too hard on Canelo. Critics forget that Canelo is coming off a long layoff and from major hand surgery, his knee also is not 100% . All that shows why he fought in a slow pace (knee injury) and low punch output (hand surgery) and with ring rust (inactivity). Sure the critics forget about that and only want the spotlight when talking bad about a fighter. John Ryder was not a bum and was the WBO intrim champ, haters forget he beat the great Daniel Jacobs that gave GGG and Canelo a hell of a fight where many thought Jacobs beat them both but was robbed. So that show Ryder was for real. Critics forget that over 15 boxers die a year due to head trauma. All for a show we love. The sad reality is that most fighters never get to fight for world titles, its so tuff to get there. Most critics never laced up a pair of gloves in their lives but get off on talking bad about boxers. Some ex boxers talk from experience but sometimes over do it and forget the struggles they went through when they were fighting. I agree that the fighters now a days are not like what we had in the 80's and 90's that were tuff as nails but thats what we have. We cant compare the modern middleweights with the likes of Hagler ,Hearns ,Leonard , Duran. They would kill this new guys , but thats what we have at the moment. Me as a mexican, I am happy that Canelo being mexican is one of the biggest draws in boxing. That shows Mexico's quality in boxing, sadly most of Canelo's critics are mexican and he continues to divide a country and hated or not with what he has done in the boxing world he has already guaranteed his place in the hall of fame.

Two of the most dominant female fighters in mixed martial arts (MMA) could be on a collision course, as Olympic judo gold medalist and current Professional Fighters League (PFL) lightweight champion, Kayla Harrison, has hinted at a possible move to Bellator for a super fight against the promotion's featherweight champion, Cris Cyborg. Harrison had been on an absolute tear since transitioning to MMA in 2018, with an unblemished record of 15-0. But her streak was broken by Larissa Pacheco when they met for the third time inside the cage during the 2022 PFL Women's Lightweight Tournament Final. Since that defeat, Harrison hasn't ventured onto the pitch. She recently made a veiled allusion to her irritation with PFL regarding her lack of participation thus far in 2023. Notwithstanding recent statements to the effect that she didn't want to repeat the season structure, Harrison intended to be included in the 2023 PFL featherweight season. Harrison will be featured on the PFL's 'super fight division' pay-per-view debut later this year. For a long time, Harrison has hinted at a confrontation with Cyborg, but it has never taken place. Harrison has suggested another strategic move to force the Cyborg to fight when her PFL contract comes to an end. "My [PFL] Contract Is Up In December" Harrison talked about her future in mixed martial arts and the status of the Cyborg match in her most recent conversation with MMA Junkie. "I know the goal was for me to fight Cyborg, I know the PFL has pushed it as well," Harrison said. "I wanted to do the season format but they felt my best use would be in a big-name fight, pay-per-view fight. It looks like that's not gonna happen... "I was a little bummed when she re-signed because I really thought it was gonna happen," Harrison continued. "My contract is up in December. Bellator knows where I'm at, and I would love to make that fight happen." Harrison received an enormous contract from Bellator when she first became free last year. She returned to the league for the 2022 season after PFL agreed to pay the amount she demanded. Harrison's forthcoming free-agency will be unrestricted and devoid of any matching regulations. She will now have the freedom to unilaterally discuss free agency with various promotions, possibly Bellator. Whether or not the fight comes to fruition remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure, a clash between two of the most dominant female fighters in the sport would be a must-see event for all MMA fans.

In the high-octane world of mixed martial arts, every fighter faces their share of triumphs and setbacks. For Ciryl Gane, his recent loss to the legendary Jon Jones at UFC 285 may have left fans disappointed, but it has also ignited a fire within the talented heavyweight contender. Gane was previously defeated by Francis Ngannou, but his encounter with Jones was different. Versus Jones, the former interim heavyweight champion had no opportunity to establish himself since Jones managed to knock him to the ground and strangle him out in just a few minutes. With his eyes firmly fixed on the future, Gane is wasting no time in preparing for his comeback. Coach Lopez revealed that the French heavyweight sensation is targeting a September return to the octagon and expecting to face the in-form Russian fighter, Sergei Pavlovich. The most recent victim of Pavlovich's first-round knockouts was Curtis Blaydes in the main event at UFC Fight Night 222. “September, (and) Sergei Pavlovich would be a good opponent,” Lopez told Middle Easy on Gane’s targeted return. The ground game of Gane has drawn criticism, and Lopez believes they intend to keep working on it. “He was very affected. As soon as the fight ended, he was like, ‘Jeez, I f*cked up. What just happened?’ It happens. No matter the people who try to criticize you and what was wrong with your wrestling. Actually, you know what? Curtis Blaydes is a good wrestler, but wrestling does not help every time. You can train hard. You can train very good on wrestling, but you will always be under a couple guys in the UFC in the wrestling department, you need to complete that game. Ciryl Gane's journey in the UFC has been an exhilarating rollercoaster ride, filled with both triumphs and setbacks. His recent loss to Jon Jones has only fueled his determination to bounce back and cement his place among the heavyweight elite. With Coach Fernand Lopez in his corner, Gane's September return promises to be a pivotal moment in his career.

UFC icon Nate Diaz just got up and walked off stage as Jake Paul spoke to the press ahead of their blockbuster boxing bout on August 5 in Texas. Diaz, 38, will be making his professional boxing debut against the former YouTuber - who suffered the first defeat of his career against Tommy Fury back in February. In a bizarre press conference at American Airlines Arena, an agitated Diaz stood up at one point and walked off the stage without explanation, leaving Paul bewildered. 'Is this man leaving?' asked Paul incredulously. Press conference moderator Ariel Helwani informed Paul that Diaz was taking a bathroom break. 'Jesus Christ!' said Paul. 'I've never seen anything like it.' The other headline-making moment of the afternoon came when a member of the media, and aspiring boxer, threatened to beat up Diaz's brother Nick. 'Nate, I'm actually a boxer myself and I have been trying to get on this undercard,' said the reporter. 'I'm just wondering if you think I could fight your brother, Nick? If he's anything like you I think I'd beat his f***ing a**.' Diaz, who is not one to back down from a street fight, glared at the reporter. 'You know my homeboys see you right now,' he told the reporter. 'That was stupid, huh? That was stupid. What's your name?' The reporter replied that he was 'Derrick from Betr Media'. Diaz pulled no punches with his reply. 'Hey, Derrick from Betr Media, you're a stupid a** motherf*****,' he said. 'The f***? You deserve to have your a** whipped.' Jake Paul cut in to say he was going to 'fire' the reporter. 'He works for my company. I'll handle that later. I'm sorry about that Nate,' Paul told the press conference. 'I'll fire him later. Derrick, shut up. Derrick, shut up.' It turns out Betr Media is Jake Paul's betting company, and Paul wasn't happy with the reporter's remarks. Both fighters predicted victory, with Paul saying he'll win in four rounds and Diaz saying he'll win in 10. 'Well it's an eight-round fight,' Paul was quick to point out. Paul has already beaten veterans Anderson Silva, Tyron Woodley twice and Ben Askren inside the ring, with Diaz being the fourth MMA fighter he has taken on.

The legendary career of "Ruthless" Robbie Lawler is coming to a close. Lawler is scheduled to meet Niko Price on July 8 at UFC 290. It'll be the final time the former UFC Welterweight Champion will step inside the Octagon as a competitor. UFC President Dana White made the announcement in a video on Rumble. "Lawler will be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame on Thursday, [July 6], for his fight versus Rory McDonald, then he fights on Saturday. Robbie is the former UFC and Strikeforce world champion and this kid is never in a boring fight. I found Robbie Lawler when he was 19 years old, and UFC 290 will be the final fight of his amazing 22-year career." Lawler will end his career with a total of 47 pro MMA bouts. While White referred to "Ruthless" as a former Strikeforce champion, he never actually won the gold under that promotion. He is, however, a former EliteXC Middleweight Champion. It's been tough sledding for Lawler towards the end of his career, going 2-6 in his last eight outings. He'll look to put an end to his pro MMA career with a vintage performance.

Jake Paul Chooses Nate Diaz Over Tommy Fury Rematch Due to Pay-Per-View Appeal Introduction: Jake Paul's decision to forego an immediate rematch with Tommy Fury, following his first career defeat, has raised eyebrows in the boxing world. The YouTube star-turned-boxer lost a split decision to Fury in February, sparking anticipation for a rematch. However, Paul surprised fans by opting to face MMA icon Nate Diaz instead. In a recent statement, Paul revealed that the choice was motivated by business considerations, asserting that Diaz's immense pay-per-view drawing power made him a more appealing opponent than Fury, who allegedly made unrealistic financial demands. This move exemplifies Paul's focus on maximizing revenue and attracting large audiences for his fights. The Fury Defeat and Anticipated Rematch: In their highly anticipated clash in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, Jake Paul suffered his first professional boxing defeat at the hands of Tommy Fury.

For his first defense of the UFC light heavyweight championship, Jamahal Hill has set a deadline and states Jiri Prochazka will determine whether it can be met. Hill (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC), who won decisively over Glover Teixeira at UFC 283 in January to win the vacant 205-pound title, is motivated to return to the octagon before the summer is out. His ideal opponent is Prochazka (29-3-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC), but there is no guarantee that he will be ready because the former champion is still suffering from a serious shoulder injury that necessitated surgery. Hill indicated that this is the fight he most desires, but he is losing patience. Hill stated he'll move on from Prochazka if he isn't prepared for the recently announced UFC 292 event on August 19 in Boston. “I’m hearing maybe August (in Boston) – hopefully we get that in and get that contract soon,” Hill told. “I’m not trying to wait past August. That’s all I know. I don’t want to wait past summer. Whether it’s Jiri or whoever steps forward, I’m ready to get it in. “Whoever steps forward (if Prochazka isn’t ready), because right now, no one else make sense for real. Some guys are going to have to make some leaps or whatever to put themselves out and separate themselves from the pack. Whoever that is, that’s who I’ll take on.” The foundation has already been set for a battle between Hill and Prochazka. Prochazka never lost the belt in the octagon; instead, he relinquished it because of an injury, and "Sweet Dreams" now holds it. Following Hill's title victory against Teixeira, the two engaged in a heated cacage-sidegeside scuffle at a recent UFC event, and their exchange on social media went viral. Who will win if these two met in the Octagon? Comment and let us know.

Hasbulla is regarded as one of the most charming celebrities in recent memory after going popular on the internet. Nevertheless, he still has to follow the law like everybody else. Recent sources claim that the internet sensation and three of his friends were detained in Dagestan for a traffic violation. The Russian is significantly shorter than the usual adult male because of a hereditary condition that prevents his body from producing growth hormones. The viral celebrity is actually an adult who is, rather shockingly, getting close to his 21st birthday, despite the fact that many people mistakenly think he is a small child. Hasbulla and a few of his buddies were detained for breaking traffic restrictions, as was posted earlier today on social media. According to reports, the influencer and those with him were arrested and later charged after disrupting other road users. Uncertainty surrounds the global entertainer's future, but this episode won't help him in his relations with prominent MMA personalities like Khabib Nurmagomedov and Dana White.

Khamzat Chimaev, the undefeated two-division threat, has taken to social media to dispute UFC President Dana White’s claims that his hiatus from the octagon is due to personal reasons. Chimaev’s return fight hasn’t been booked, and White has previously stated that the Swede is dealing with personal issues, which is why he hasn’t fought. “That’s on him, though. He’s got stuff going on in his personal life. That’s not because we’re not getting him a fight. Obviously, you know how it goes here. I talk about this all the time, we have to get guys three fights a year. If we don’t get guys three fights a year, we have to pay them. The only way that wouldn’t happen is if they have personal stuff going on,” White said to TSN about Chimaev. It seems that Chimaev is ready to return and is hoping to get booked soon. However, it remains uncertain who to believe. Chimaev’s response was clear: “I have no problems with fights, if they gave me a fight, I would have fought a long time ago…why do I train so much if there is no fight, I don’t understand.” Chimaev is currently 12-0 and coming off an impressive submission win over Holland. Before that, he beat Gilbert Burns by decision and also holds notable wins over Li Jingliang and Gerald Meerschaert. His remarkable start in the UFC has made him a hot commodity, and there have been talks of him facing Paulo Costa in Abu Dhabi in October. Former welterweight champion Kamaru Usman recently expressed interest in facing Chimaev, but White turned the idea down – unless it’s at middleweight. However, Chimaev said the weight class he competes in next will be up to him: “If I want to fight 77 if I want to fight 84 I decide.” White’s concern about Chimaev missing the welterweight mark by 7.5 pounds for his originally scheduled bout against Nate Diaz at UFC 279 is understandable. This led to a shuffle in the lineup and Chimaev drawing Holland instead in a catchweight bout. However, Chimaev is ready to take on any top contender or champion, regardless of weight class. He specifically name-dropped UFC middleweight champ Israel Adesanya, welterweight champ Leon Edwards, Belal Muhammad, Colby Covington, Robert Whittaker, and Usman. Chimaev’s tweets make it clear that he is eager to return to the octagon and that he is ready to take on any opponent. His recent performances have shown that he is a force to be reckoned with and that he is capable of beating some of the best fighters in the world. Whether his next fight is at 170 or 185 pounds, fans are eager to see him back in action. It remains to be seen what the future holds for Chimaev and whether White’s claims about his issues are true. However, one thing is certain – Chimaev is ready to fight and is determined to continue his impressive run in the UFC.

After the opening half of the heavyweight and light heavyweight seasons in Las Vegas, reports that four athletes had tested positive for prohibited substances shook the PFL. Two well-known fighters from the UFC, Krzysztof Jotko & former title contender Thiago Santos, are on the list. Both Santos as well as Jotko, who conducted their PFL debuts in April, tested positive for drugs following their separate matches at PFL 1. Jotko fell a decision to Will Fleury on the same card, whereas Santos dropped to the 2022 PFL champion Rob Wilkinson in the co-main event. Heavyweights Bruno Cappelozza and Rizvan Kuniev, who triumphed over Matheus Scheffel and Renan Ferreira at PFL 2 on April 7, are the remaining two competitors who tested positive for prohibited substances. The chemicals have not been specified, and the duration of each fighter's suspension remains to be made public. Many PFL supporters, who were looking forward to the second half of the season, were shocked by the announcement. Four athletes have already been removed from the remaining 2023 season, leaving the PFL unsure of its future course. On June 8, Santos was slated to meet Mohammad Fakhreddine, and Jotko was slated to confront Ty Flores as part of the same PFL 4 events in Atlanta. The PFL has not yet revealed Cappelozza and Kuniev's upcoming fights. This information serves as an alert that there is still a big problem with the consumption of prohibited substances in combat sports that requires attention. When it involves PEDs, the PFL has a zero-tolerance policy, and they have previously demonstrated that they would act quickly to punish fighters who break their rules. It's not clear how long the suspensions will last for the four fighters, but they will likely face significant time on the sidelines. It's also possible that their careers could be impacted in the long term, as fighters who test positive for banned substances often face a stigma that is hard to shake off. The PFL will need to take a careful look at its drug testing policies to ensure that they are doing everything possible to keep the sport clean. Fans and fighters alike will be watching closely to see how the PFL responds to this latest development.
