Hope for combat-sports athletes trying to dodge surgeries, heal nagging injuries and avoid fight cancellations may come in the form of an increasingly popular treatment.

After losing his second professional mixed martial arts fight, Phil Brooks’ time in the Ultimate Fighting Championship has likely come to an end.

Earlier this year, one of the hottest topics in combat sports was boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s potential move to MMA. Mayweather and his team repeatedly expressed interest in a move to the UFC’s Octagon, while UFC President Dana White suggested there had been negotiations between the boxer and the promotion, and UFC welterweight champion Tyron …

Lmfao kids these days... I must've hit real close to home with the incest comment. I have a job which is more important than the few hobbies I have. More successful? In the sense he's made more money? Sure. But I can assure you I'm just as successful and less hated than this scum

In a span of seven months, Curtis Blaydes dismantled three top-10 opponents. He first stopped submission specialist Alexey Oleynik before dominating Mark Hunt , and last Saturday, he viciously put away Alistair Overeem . Blaydes is 5-1-1 in the UFC, and the only blemish on his record was dished out by Francis Ngannou , the current No. 1 contender. That was his very first fight in the promotion. As he approaches title contention, here are five things you might not know about the Elevation Fight Team standout. 1. He has made clear his intentions for fighting. Unlike other fighters who say they are in it to prove they are the best in the world and will take as many heads off as they can in the process, Blaydes has made it clear that it’s the monetary gains of fighting that drives him. But make no mistake; he is a hard worker who will stop at nothing to reach his full potential and be recognized for what he does. The point is, he is not the type who gets excited by getting punched in the face. It’s all professionalism for the wrestler from Chicago. 2. He’s not one to get into fights.

UFC 225 on Saturday was one of the best cards of the year on paper, and it certainly did not disappoint. From preliminary knockouts to hotly contested title bouts, the event had it all. The latest installment in the Geek for Technique series breaks down the best the pre-PPV card had to offer. In the opening bout, Hawaiian prospect Dan Ige wasted no time against Mike Santiago . Ige took the fight to the ground in the opening seconds, advanced to the back and earned the technical knockout in under a minute. Unfortunately, most onlookers wanted to see more of Ige, as he is one of the top prospects to come out of the first season of Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series, but with the quick finish, expect to see him back in the cage soon. Twelve-year UFC veteran Clay Guida took on rangy submission specialist Charles Oliveira on the undercard. Guida enjoyed some success on the feet but foolishly shot for a takedown with his neck open, and Oliveira grabbed the guillotine to earn his 15th submission victory. Oliveira finished the choke with the arm in.

Robert Whittaker has spent the last 18 months consolidating power atop the Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight division. “The Reaper” turned away Yoel Romero for a second time at UFC 225 on June 9, as he withstood a furious charge from the 2000 Olympic silver medalist and held on for a split decision in the main event. It will not go down as a successful title defense for the undisputed champion -- Romero missed weight for the rematch -- but Whittaker remains the standard by which all other current 185-pound fighters are judged. The 27-year-old has won nine fights in a row and figures to face another stiff challenge, perhaps against Kelvin Gastelum , in his next appearance inside the Octagon. For now, he retains his spot as the No. 1 middleweight in the Sherdog divisional rankings. There were other movers and shakers at UFC 225. Colby Covington backed up his rhetoric by taking care of business against Rafael dos Anjos in the five-round co-headliner, where a unanimous decision brought him the interim welterweight crown and set the stage for unification bout with undisputed champion Tyron Woodley later this year.

This marks the third time in three weeks that talk of a meeting between McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) and White has come up. Prior to UFC Fight Night 130,  White said he and McGregor would meet  in Liverpool to discuss the former two-division champion’s future, but that didn’t happen as expected . After the event, White said he planned to meet with McGregor in Las Vegas but didn’t specify a date.

On Tuesday night as part of Dana White’s Contender Series, Hardy blasted fellow NFL veteran Austen Lane with a vicious first round knockout to start his professional career with a victory and a developmental contract with the UFC. 

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has hosted yet another exciting night of fights. With the highly anticipated fight card now in the books, the time has come to take a look at the UFC Promotional Guidelines Compliance payouts.

Almost all fighters dream of winning a UFC belt; some just celebrate a little more outwardly once they get it.

Former WWE superstar CM Punk made his highly anticipated octagon return over the weekend. While the fighter failed to earn a victory, CM Punk did manage to show fight fans something never seen before.

So, the 29-year-old has turned his attention to MMA, where he went 3-0 (with three first-round knockouts) as an amateur before Tuesday’s successful pro debut against Austen Lane. However, Hardy’s latest bout again put the spotlight on Hardy’s past and whether he should even be given a platform with the UFC.

As MMA Fighting reports, McGregor’s court appearance was brief, as he and his cohort Cian Cowley promptly informed the court that they intend to negotiate a plea deal. With this development, McGregor is set to return to court on July 26, where he and Cowley’s representation will enter said plea.

UFC super star Conor McGregor was due in New York court this morning for the charges stemming from his April attack on the UFC fighter transport bus.

The new date gives McGregor’s legal team more time to work on a plea deal for numerous charges, including two felony counts of criminal mischief, following the April incident, which occurred in conjunction with UFC 223 in Brooklyn.

In the eyes of UFC commentator Joe Rogan, who called the fight from cage-side, it might even be more severe than that. In his eyes, Punk has no athletic talent whatsoever, and was only ever successful as a pro wrestler because of his charisma.

Since then, Conor McGregor has gone to social media to reveal that he was initially set to face off on the UFC 224 card in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on May 12. The news confirms a previous rumor that “Notorious” would have competed against Rafael dos Anjos for the interim welterweight title at the event.

McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) is slated to be in the courtroom for what could be nothing more than a hearing to schedule the next court appearance, giving prosecutors and McGregor’s legal team more time to work on a plea deal on numerous charges, including two felony counts of criminal mischief.

“People always make mistakes, and the thing about making mistakes is, how do you recover from that? How do you act after you’ve done something bad?” White said. “This guy has paid his dues, and like I said, he hit rock bottom. He built himself back up, he’s going out there, and he’s fighting in these amateur fights where he doesn’t get paid. Now he came here, and I think he made $10,000 and $10,000. He’s working his way back up the ladder. He’s doing the right things. He’s off drugs, he’s off alcohol, and he’s trying to change his life.”

starring Francis Ng and Jennifer Yu. Always central to the festival’s DNA, Hong Kong cinema demonstrates the resiliency of an industry whose identity is easily blurred with Mainland China, but on which it also exerts a considerable influence and provides storytelling expertise and craftsmanship. The film is a quintessential underdog story about a group of blue-collar workers who reluctantly join their company’s dragon boat team. A directorial debut of a veteran Hong Kong screenwriter, Chan’s film is being presented one year after NYAFF had a special focus on first-time directors from the territory. Chan and actress Jennifer Yu will be among the attending guests.

So in the absence of a good reason to say no, but prevented by their Big IP box from saying yes, Disney is slow walking the decision. It’s hoping, it seems, that they’ll run out the clock, he’ll sign other deals elsewhere, and the project will just fade away.”
