Negociations for the Spence V.S Crawford Clash is near completion. If the rumor is true , the fight would be in mid november. I think this would be a Hagler V.S Hearns type of fight, and we are really hungry for that type of fight. Boxing needs those type of unification fights. I believe Spence V.S Crawford is the biggest unification fight in boxing other than the Fury V.S the winner of the Usyk V.S Joshua fight. If rumores are true we will have both this year and we are in for a real treat Ladies and Gents.

It is safe to say that Charles Oliveira has been pretty much the name on every MMA fan’s list whenever there is a conversation of a fighter who has been entertaining and fun to watch. There is no doubt about the heart and desire shown by the Brazilian every time he stepped up inside the octagon. He has the ability to light up the arena by his scintillating performances and lethal finishes. The former lightweight champ is once again fired up for his upcoming bout in Abu Dhabi and we discuss the reasons for his recent anger towards Khabib and his team. Oliveira is seemingly on his way to becoming a top draw in the UFC as he promises fireworks in every bout he is a part of. However during the recent weeks the former lightweight champion has been feeling quite agitated as many experts have doubted that he was ducking Islam Makhachev for his next fight. This could also be due to the fact that Oliveira has been quite vocal in his wish to face Conor McGregor in his next fight as he made himself clear that he wants to achieve financial stability for his family. The rumors of Oliveira fighting McGregor were finally put to bed as during the UFC Long Island event it was revealed that Islam Makhachev will be the next opponent in line to face Oliveira at UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi. The favella born fighter also added another award to his mantle as he was announced as the winner of the ESPY for Fighter of the Year 2021 during the broadcast of UFC Long Island. Some of his performances included knocking Michael Chandler at UFC 262, choking out Dustin Poirier at UFC 269 and finally the recent win against Justin Gaethje at UFC 274 In spite of the victory against Justin Gaethje he lost his lightweight title in a controversial manner at the weighing scales. He failed to make championship weight after two attempts and the UFC decided to vacate the lightweight belt. There have been a lot of theories as to how the weigh in system should be updated to the digital scales instead of the manual ones. On the other side, the UFC Lightweight goat Khabib has been chomping at the bit to see his childhood friend become the new lightweight champion of the world. Khabib has been speaking quite a lot against Oliveira and his decisions to quit between fights back in the day. He believes that Islam’s wrestling would prove too much for Oliveira. Islam has been on a 10 fight win streak as well, fighting the likes of Bobby Green and Dan Hooker in his last two fights. Many fans believe his relations with Khabib has gifted him a title fight because Islam has not beaten a tough contender in the division. His fight against Beneil Dariush was canceled as Dariush had to miss out due to an injury so Bobby Green filled up the vacant spot. The comments from Khabib did not go down well with Oliveira as he has fired an open warning to his rival that he is willing to start the fight against Islam on the ground. There is absolutely no questions about the fact that Islam and his coaching team will be trying to set up a trap which will mainly involve wrestling with the Brazilian. But Oliveira has insisted that he is the best submitter in the UFC so Islam might have to watch out on those nasty armbars and guillotine chokes. The fans are in for a treat at UFC 280 as this is the fight everyone wanted to see. The hype around Islam would be huge as the fight is in his territory where Khabib has also fought the last two of his fights. As for Oliveira, he will be entering the uncharted territory when he travels to Abu Dhabi and see the locals supporting Islam. This matchup will be a classic striker versus grappler competition. Islam has never faced a striker who packs power in every punch he lands as it was evident against Justin Gaethje when Oliveira dropped him. There are more ways for Oliveira to win this bout as compared to Islam who might just only stick to his wrestling acumen. It will be interesting to see if Khabib’s prediction of Islam ragdolling Oliveira and submitting him comes true. We can hardly wait for this UFC Lightweight title fight as Oliveira has insisted that he might call out Khabib after he defeats Islam. If that happens, it will be one of the most iconic call outs in UFC history. Let us know your views if you think that Oliveira can cope with the wrestling skills of Islam and become a two time UFC Lightweight Champion of the world.

The main event of UFC London saw an anticlimactic ending when Tom Aspinal injured himself in the opening seconds of the bout against Curtis Blaydes. However the highlight of the evening came from Liverpool’s very own Paddy the Baddy. Not only did Paddy steal the show with his amazing performance inside the octagon at UFC London at the O2 Arena, but he also gave an incredibly moving message. Paddy realized that the post fight octagon interview would be an ideal stage to create awareness among the people, he talked about his friend who committed suicide one day before his fight. The UFC fighter was in tears inside the octagon as he poured his heart out to speak on the matter of mental health. In this article, we are going to talk about how much Paddy’s message has impacted the people across the globe. Paddy Pimblett is on a roll in the UFC and his star power has grown exponentially especially in the past year. The British uprising star recently used UFC as a platform to spread a very important message and society already seems to have gained its benefits from it. Paddy the Baddy went on a rant about men’s mental health and the taboos surrounding it during his interview with Michael Bisping at UFC London. Paddy urged the men who are struggling in life to speak up and seek help when they need to. His speech has already made a huge impact. Number of people have thanked Paddy in the comments and reached out to him for his kind words. It doesn’t look like Paddy is like other cocky fighters out there who are just in it for fame and money and talk senselessly to gain the public image. Most fighters use that spotlight after their win to create a hype which will boost them up financially, but Paddy turned out to act in a different way. Usually, fighters with a strong attitude don’t speak on these sorts of matters but the way Paddy spoke, it was evident that he wanted to create awareness for men struggling to speak up around the globe. Many different MMA personalities have also praised Paddy Pimblett’s emotional speech. Megan Olivi and Jamahal Hill also applauded Paddy in their tweets: It is a deep dive into men’s psychology as there is a gigantic stereotype that a man has to bear everything put in front of him. Men usually don’t speak up because they think it will weaken them. They feel embarrassed that they haven't delivered what’s expected of them. They think that they don’t want to put their burden on others' shoulders. Some of them have no one to talk to them with whom they can express their thoughts. Tyson Fury is one of the best examples who was a a victim of mental health issues and was close to commit suicide as well. Paddy’s speech has caused a positive reaction inside the MMA community as well cause there are many fighters who also seem to be suffering from the same issues, there has been a certain hike in the number of men attending the mental health rehabilitation centers. Mental Health professionals have highly praised the Liverpool star for the powerful message to create awareness for the people who are struggling in their life to speak up. According to reports in England, there have been new attendees at Andy’s Man Club which is one of the most prominent mental health groups for men in the UK. Paddy Pimblett has already blown the minds of the MMA fans with fantastic performances in such a short span of time. He has got a perfect background; he has the city behind him, he has a skillset. With all such key factors, these make him turn into a unique and elite fighter who also happens to care about the people . Although his best is yet to be seen, he is capitalizing on his moments to make a connection with people. People think that Paddy has left Conor McGregor behind who had a similar spike in his career early on. It is safe to say that Conor was to the Irish people as Paddy is for the English people now. The UFC Lightweight has a strong personality and mindset which didn’t let the grief of his friend’s death affect his performance and he went inside the cage against a dangerous opponent and dedicated his win to his dear friend. He would have been in a worse condition emotionally and mentally if he was in Liverpool as the death happened just before his weigh in. He expressed further about his mental health struggle in a moving interview. In the end we would like you to come up if you are struggling in your life too. Come up and get things off your chest. Express it with your loved ones or share with the professionals so that you could get help on time. We know you are important, and you can do it. If you can relate to the people suffering from similar issues then don’t forget to share this article and help save a life.

Cain Velasquez will remain in jail after he was denied bail for the third time. On Monday, Velasquez appeared in the Santa Clara County Hall of Justice in San Jose for a hearing in which Judge Shelyna Brown refused a motion for bail. Judge Brown denied Velasquez's defense request, which claimed that Harry Goularte, Patricia Goularte, and Paul Bender did not want to testify in a civil trial, which should be altered to a circumstantial charge and should allow the defendant bail. Harry Goularte is being sued for the sexual harassment of Cain Velasquez's four-year-old kid. Attorneys for Velasquez filed a case against Harry Goularte on behalf of his 4-year-old son, who was allegedly molested by Goularte between 2021 and 2022. Why was Velasquez detained? Velasquez is accused of shooting at a man who was charged with abusing a close relative. However, he appears to have missed that individual, and his bullet struck the defendant's stepfather instead. Cain Velasquez is now facing ten charges, including attempted murder, firing at an inhabited motor vehicle or aircraft, assault with a firearm, assault with a deadly weapon, wilfully discharging a firearm from a vehicle, and carrying a loaded firearm with the purpose to commit a felony. If convicted of attempted murder, he faces a minimum of 20 years in jail and up to life in prison, with additional time added if convicted on the other charges. Cain Velasquez has been detained since February 28. He is scheduled to appear in court once more on August 5 and has a plea hearing scheduled on August 19.

Danny Garcia (37-3, 21 KOs) won a majority decision over Jose Benavidez in a 12-round super welterweight fight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The judges awarded Danny Garcia a majority decision victory: 112-116, 111-117, and 114-114. Benavidez (27-2-1, 18 KOs) was defeated for only the second time in his pro career. Before Saturday night, his only loss was a 12th-round technical knockout to unbeaten WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford in October 2018 at the CHI Health Center in Omaha, Nebraska. Garcia defended himself well, every so often countered Benavidez with right hands, and decisively beat Benavidez on two of the scorecards in their 12-round, 154-pound main event at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Garcia had not competed since losing to Errol Spence Jr. by unanimous decision in December 2020, a gap of nearly 20 months. Garcia, 34, unexpectedly broke down and cried during the interview: “I did take a break going through mental things, things went dark, I went through anxiety, deep depression, just trying to be strong,” Garcia said, fighting through tears. “It was the pressure of life, being a good dad, just letting it out right now because it was all stuck inside. It rained on me for a year and a half and the only way to do better was to fight again. I’m a fighter. If you battle anxiety and depression, you can get out of it, that’s what I did today. I fought.” According to Danny Garcia, he wants to face either Keith Thurman or Erislandy Lara next.

Jake Paul and Conor McGregor are at it yet again as things get a little personal this time. Over the years, the Irishman has mainly remained silent regarding Paul's efforts to secure a boxing match with him but has recently begun to engage more. The feud started when Paul during his Interview with Ariel Helwani said: "I think for me, fighting a couple more times, continuing to knock some people out, and he (Connor) has to get active again, who knows when that's gonna happen? He added: " He's a businessman, I'm a businessman, and that's $75 to $100 million for both of us." McGregor then tweeted that Paul has had "two fights and done 70k buys," before branding him a "flop" and "nothing." Jake Paul has now launched a nasty personal attack on Connor. Paul on his tweeter page wrote: “Conor, Conor, Conor ...”. “You’re more active on Twitter than you are in the Octagon. Stop taking trenbolone and start taking fights. “ “You’re more actively cheating on your wife than you are in the Octagon. Your priorities are mixed up. Put down the bottle and get back to fighting.” “You haven’t won a fight in five f—king years and the last time you did was against ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone who hasn’t won a fight against anyone since fighting you.” “Here’s another fun fact; in your 18th fight, you made $150,000,” Paul said. “In my fifth fight, I made $15 million. Do you want to talk about pay-per-view buys? Nate Robinson; 1.8 million. Ben Askren; 500,000. Tyron Woodley 1; 500,000. Tyron Woodley 2; No one even wanted to see that fight and we got 200,000 PPV buys. In the last five years, you’ve had zero pay-per-view buys because you don’t f—king fight.

Due to his canceled MSG event, Jake Paul is paying all of the undercard fighters 50% of their pay. This canceled event has already cost a fortune. A ton of money has been lost due to Jake's and Haseem's fight getting canceled due to weight issues.

Paddy Pimblett is our mentor of the week. With a 19-3 professional record and undefeated 3 fight win streak in his UFC career so far. Sporting a fight style that swings for the fences and is entertaining to watch, it's easy to see how he's already a crowd favorite. Fight TV has chosen to pick "The Baddy" as our mentor of the week for not only being a formidable fighter but also for being an inspiration. We all know or know of someone who has committed suicide. Paddy took his recent win, not to self promote or brag - but to raise awareness for mental health. He lost a close friend before the fight and just wishes they would have reached out or spoken about what they were struggling with. It's not easy to be vulnerable, especially for fighters. "But it doesn't matter how hard you are, how hard you can punch, how hard your exterior is, everyone's got a mental capacity where there's only so much they can take." - He said in a recent interview with BBC News. If there's something we can learn here is that life is about duality. We must be disciplined, focused, and resilient. We can simultaneously be empathetic, kind, and compassionate. Paddy said that 2018 was a rough year, he struggled with thoughts of self harm after losing a title fight and being bullied online. What really helped him was just being able to talk about it and vent to his friends and family. "Get rid of this stupid 'I'm a tough guy' thing. There's a stigma there that we can't talk, that we need to get rid of." Even the toughest fighters in the world have their struggles. "I was getting abused on the internet and waking up feeling terrible about myself, and I wasn't speaking to no-one. but when getting to vent "It feels like a weight is being lifted off your shoulders. Well, it was for me anyway. I spoke to one of my mates, I spoke to my missus, to my dad, spoke to my coach and it was just like 'yeah, I feel well better now'." The lesson by our mentor this week is being vulnerable enough to discuss what's troubling us with our inner circle, getting to vent and hear other perspectives is how we get through our problems. Whether it's a fight or a life event. To be disciplined, focused, and resilient we have to also communicate what's troubling us.
