Kamaru Usman has been officially named by the Ultimate Fighting Championship as a back-up for the UFC 228’s welterweight title fight between the current champion Tyron Woodley and Liverpool, England’s Darren Till.

The latest episode of “Rizin Confessions” has arrived, this time looking back at this past month’s Rizin FF 11 event.

Justin Gaethje emerged victorious in one of the fights year in 2017 at The Ultimate Fighter Finale in July against Michael Johnson.

“I have a ton of respect for him as a fighter, and I just want to see the best for him,” Chandler told MMAjunkie. “If that means staying with the UFC, I hope he stays in the UFC. If that means coming to Bellator, I would love to welcome him to Bellator and finish that trilogy. There’s not a day that’s gone by recently since he announced that this last fight was the last fight on his contract, that people haven’t stopped talking about the trilogy.

Although he is not of Irish descent, the people in charge of promoting the fight decide to market Conklin as “Irish” Terry Conklin. They have a team of leprechauns follow him and make him wear green trunks and Boston Celtics jackets, all because they know Irish fighters sell especially well. This idea of pretending a fighter is of a different descent seemed funny in 1996; however, the joke has manifested itself into reality through the weird, insensitive and completely unnecessary act of cultural appropriation known as “Mexican Style.

UFC newcomer Bryce Mitchell may have had a successful octagon debut, but things have not quite been going the fighter’s way as of late. Now fight fans are taking to social media to react to Mitchell’s recent injury.

Aside from the outside of the cage issues, a competitive division is always more compelling to people. A dominant champion isn’t always as interesting as has been proven with Demetrious Johnson. Another example is that of the strawweight division. Now that Rose Namajunas has dethroned Joanna Jedrezjczyk, the division has opened up completely and there is new intrigue.

UFC superstar Nate Diaz once released a stunning video of himself Stockton slapping UFC President Dana White. The video quickly grew viral, leaving many curious as to why the incident occurred in the first place.

“I saw in the video that I went out and my eyes were open,” Costa said. “You might think I’m awake, but I was already out. I moved a couple of times, but I was having seizures. My corner and his corner yelled that I was out, but the referee said he would only stop the fight if I was out. And I was! Every referee touches the fighter to see if they are out, but he never touched me. My opponent stopped the fight. Otherwise, I would be dead.

UFC President Dana White has been with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) for many years now. Consequently, White has promoted a massive bevy of match ups during his time as the UFC president. Now White has come forward to reveal which fight he believes is his best work to date.

How far can Vick climb with a win over Gaethje? We’ll have to see how the headliner plays out in Lincoln. But ahead of that, check out our full list at lightwieght and the rest of the rankings above.

September 22 will be my last fight. I can retire from the sport that I love with my head held high. I know that I never held anything back while in the cage and September 22 will be no different. My goals and priorities have shifted throughout the years and I am ready to concentrate on building my gym, as well as any new opportunities that come my way. I have gone toe 2 toe with many of the worlds best competitors and I am truly grateful for this. My passion for Jiu Jitsu will continue to be a driving force in my gym and at select Jiu Jitsu competitions. I want to thank my family, friends and fans for all of your support throughout the years.

Of course, even if she were to defeat Shevchenko at UFC 228, the UFC isn’t likely to give Montano a fight at bantamweight right away. She’d likely have to make a couple more defenses before the UFC considered any superfight type of bouts at 135 pounds and wouldn’t likely want her in a non-title bout while she holds the title at flyweight.

Undefeated Floyd Mayweather boxing protege Gervonta Davis tweeted that he wanted to “fight the dude that fought Cody yesterday,” after Dillashaw knocked Cody Garbrandt out for a second consecutive time at UFC 227 earlier this month. He added, “I will whip ya ass.”

Check below for some of the best GIF replies to Mitchell’s accident. And in all seriousness, at the very least it’s fairly certain pretty much all the men reading this take their hat off to Mitchell, shed a tear, maybe throw up in their mouths a little bit – and wish him a fast recovery.

Brandi has taken classes with Devin. He taught her how to protect herself and her children, especially Troy. “He’s taught me things I can do to hold and keep him safe, because he’s a self-harmer. He will punch himself, and [Devin] taught me ways to take his back, and we can wait it out until he’s calm. None of the psychiatric [stuff] worked, but Jiu-Jitsu did.”

According to MMAFighting’s Dave Meltzer , who is the industry’s foremost expert on UFC pay-per-view statistics and ticket sales, reported that tickets for Conor McGregor’s return to challenge undefeated, undisputed UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov were nearly sold out within minutes of going on-sale to the public on Friday, Aug. 17. That followed two days of special early access sales to UFC Fight Club members and newsletter subscribers. 

“I saw in the video that I went out and my eyes were open,” Costa continued. “You might think I’m awake, but I was already out. I moved a couple of times, but I was having seizures. My corner and his corner yelled that I was out, but the referee said he would only stop the fight if I was out. And I was! Every referee touches the fighter to see if they are out, but he never touched me. My opponent stopped the fight. Otherwise, I would be dead.”

Former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar recently re-entered the USADA testing pool after accepting a fight call out from two-division UFC champion Daniel Cormier. Now a new side-by side photo comparison has shown that the former title holder has seemingly gotten smaller since re-entering the testing pool.

This weekend's @WWE event featured two former UFC champions in Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey. Which fighter’s return to the UFC would have a bigger impact on the organization?

“I’m facing this as maybe it is my last fight,” Silva said. “I will run for federal deputy now. It’s a new career, a new time in my life. I’m seeing the need for it. There are guys being elected that have no business being there, a bunch of poor guys, dishonest guys that steal from the people. You have to put guys that have an ideal and already have money to live so they don’t need to steal from the people.

Aaron’s name landed in the headlines two months ago after it was revealed that he had a pair of Nazi tattoos visible on his body. Both Aaron and Lee issued statements regarding his tattoos after they were first revealed. Aaron later said he got the tattoos while he was serving a term in prison, but refused to cover them up or have them removed.

UFC women’s bantamweight Bethe Correia is currently coming off of a tough loss. That being said, the talented mixed martial artist is now getting fight fans’ attention for a recent photo from her time away from the gym.

In fairness, it wasn’t really a fight, in that there wasn’t much of an exchange. But the reason why it stuck out for Whitmire (3-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) is the serious consequences she had to deal with afterward: namely jail time, probation and anger management.

Khabib Nurmagomedov is set to fight Conor McGregor in the main event of UFC 229 on Oct. 6, live on pay-per-view. Knowing that UFC President Dana White has been friends with President Donald Trump for many years, Nurmagomedov recently decided to reach out to Dana White in hopes of earning his father a visa.

Maynard has spent his last three fights in the UFC featherweight division, where he went 2-1, defeating Teruto Ishihara, losing to Ryan Hall, and defeating Fernando Bruno — all by decision. This featherweight run was preceded by four-straight losses in the lightweight division: a decision defeat to Alexander Yakovlev, and knockouts dealt by Ross Pearson, Nate Diaz and TJ Grant. The 39-year-old Maynard is 13-6-1 overall.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is home to some of the world’s toughest and most talented competitors. With that in mind, it would appear that a series of veteran mixed martial artists once from the UFC’s roster have now elected to begin a career within the sport of bare-knuckle boxing.

While all three of the fighters proved to be a hit with fans, their soccer skills weren’t quite on par with their fighting prowess. MMAjunkie’s Ken Hathaway was on hand to document the evening, which Las Vegas Lights owner and CEO Brett Lashbrook hopes will become a tradition moving forward as the team continues to “support all things that are Las Vegas.”

UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov is set to fight Conor McGregor on Oct. 6 in the live pay-per-view main event of UFC 229. Despite McGregor’s position as a massive PPV draw and UFC megastar, former interim UFC lightweight title challenger Kevin Lee would rather take on the undefeated Dagestan native.

“Of course [Daniel Cormier]’s gonna pass the tests,” he said. “Of course they have to test the athletes, of course they have to test certain guys, but does no one find it kind of sketchy that the guy who we know 100 percent is going to pass the test, gets tested more than the guy who is known for failing tests? And I’m not even a conspiracy theory guy. But does no one think this is fucking strange? How crazy is that?

The lineups for the first three Dana White’s Contender Series Brazil events have been revealed, and a few fighters with UFC experience are on the slate.

“I like the light heavyweight division – I think it’s for the taking,” Rockhold told MMAjunkie. “‘DC,’ the complication with him – he’s tossing and turning. I just want the thing to really solidify itself and iron it out. I want a matchup – I want a sexy matchup, and I want to get up there and I want to do some damage, and I want it to mean something. I don’t want to have to fight the best guy in the division in Alexander Gustafsson and have to backtrack if ‘DC’ doesn’t fight and I have to fight someone else lower – what’s the (expletive) point?
