Donald Cerrone is not a fan of Conor McGregor . That became apparent when the two fighters crossed paths at the UFC’s “Go Big” press conference at the end of 2015. At the time, McGregor was set to face Jose Aldo for the featherweight title, while Cerrone was to challenge Rafael dos Anjos for lightweight gold. “He’s real good at talking out in front of the public, but when we all stand in the back he ain’t got nothing to say,” Cerrone said then. “I stood back there for 30 minutes right next to him, and [he had] nothing to say to me, but he was very cordial with my man [Mendes] next to me. “Of course we get out here he wants to run his mouth, but it’s good, you know, he sells the fights. But if he comes to 155 I’m gonna bend his little ass over.” At the time, McGregor vs. Cerrone looked like a potential dream matchup in 2016. However, Cerrone moved to 170 pounds after losing to dos Anjos, and he appears to have a new lease on life in that division. Meanwhile, McGregor captured 145-pound gold but spent the majority of the past year engaged in a rivalry with Nate Diaz , splitting a pair of bouts with the Stockton, Calif.

In what is expected to be a contest pitting speed vs. power, both Lineker and Dodson have the opportunity to get themselves into title contention with a main event spotlight and it’s coming at the right time.

One Championship “Defending Honor” will now feature two title bouts, as the Singapore-based promotion announced Thursday that Marat Gafurov will put his featherweight title on the line against Narantungalag Jadambaa in the co-main event. That contest joins a lightweight championship headliner between Shinya Aoki and Eduard Folyang on the Nov. 11 card. One Championship “Defending Honor” takes place at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore. Four other contests were announced for the card: Eddie Ng vs. Adrian Pang at lightweight; Timofey Nastyukhin vs. Kotetsu Boku at featherweight; Amir Khan vs. Samir Mrabet at lightweight; and Michelle Nicolini vs. Mona Samir at strawweight. Unbeaten in 14 professional outings, Gafurov initially captured 145-pound gold with a fourth-round submission of Jadambaa in their first meeting last November. The 31-year-old Russian then defended his title with a second-round tapout of Kazunori Yokota at One Championship 43 “Kingdom of Champions.” Ten of Gafurov’s career triumphs have come by way of submission.

Breen: UFC 205 Discussion, Listener Calls Sep 28, 2016

Right off the bat, the teams are back in the house and Ultimate Fighting Championship President Dana White is raving about the fighters and how they’ve all fought thus far. After a brief introduction of the two men who will fight later tonight, the scene immediately shifts to Rio de Janeiro, which is the home of Ronaldo Candido . Candido shows the TV audience his quaint living quarters before the Shooto Brazil champion is seen training and coaching. Former featherweight champion Jose Aldo explains what Candido beings to his team’s table before the crew is taken via bus to Sao Paulo. Candido is emotional when speaking of his mother and father and this is when the cascade of tears flow from his eye sockets. He’s broken up when explain what his alcoholic father told him and how proud he was, and that he wishes he was a better father to him. But in the end, Ronaldo is a stronger, better person because of it. Back at the TUF palace, the fighters are all huddled around the TV and watching UFC 200. It’s interesting because Candido is Aldo’s jiu-jitsu coach and Jamie Alvarez , who Candido will be fighting by show’s end, trains with Amanda Nunes , who is also fighting on the card.

Ultimate Fighting Championship will be setting up the octagon in Portland, Oregon for “UFC Fight Night 96” on Saturday night with a headlining bout between John Lineker and John Dodson. The two will be battling for bantamweight supremacy, but Lineker will be forced to give up twenty percent of his purse regardless of the outcome as he came in half-of-a-pound overweight.

They are two of the Ultimate Fighting Championship ’s most dynamic offensive fighters. Former Jungle Fight John Lineker will face “The Ultimate Fighter 14” winner John Dodson in the UFC Fight Night 96 main event on Saturday at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon. In the co-headliner, onetime Bellator MMA champion Will Brooks collides with Alex Oliveira in a pivotal battle at 155 pounds. The rest of the four-fight main card features a welterweight clash pairing Joshua Burkman with Zak Ottow and a flyweight affair pitting Louis Smolka against Brandon Moreno . Ahead of UFC Fight Night “Lineker vs. Dodson,” members of the Sherdog.com staff swallowed their pride and put their reputations on the line with bold predictions: Standings Tristen Critchfield (82-41-3) Jordan Breen (79-44-3) Mike Fridley (78-45-3) Brian Knapp (75-48-3) Mike Sloan (70-53-3) The Lineup 135: John Lineker (28-7) vs. John Dodson (18-7) 155: Will Brooks (18-1) vs. Alex Oliveira (14-4-1) 170: Joshua Burkman (28-13) vs.

Perhaps there's something to be said for the way in which professional sports tease out a certain kind of mania in its fandom, but I'm skeptical that mixed martial arts fans, or any particular sports fans, are “worse” on the whole, or that particular sport's fans are uniquely successful in dragging down the discourse around that sport. Fans of a particular sport may be different, idiosyncratic, but not abstractly “worse.” OK, now, having said all that ... MMA fans are just the worst sometimes, aren't they? Last week, I wrote in this same space about how UFC 205 , when its lone title offering was Tyron Woodley - Stephen Thompson , was a fantastic high-level MMA card, but not one that matched the years of hype and symbol significant attributed to the first Ultimate Fighting Championship card at Madison Square Garden.

Conor McGregor already has a title slung over his shoulder with the UFC Featherweight Championship, but he is hoping to walk out of the octagon after “UFC 205” with two belts to his name. “The Notorious” will be challenging UFC Lightweight Champion Eddie Alvarez for his title in the conclusion of “UFC 205” in Madison Square Garden and the number “two” seems to be prominent in the weeks leading into McGregor’s fight camp.

Ultimate Fighting Championship and Madison Square Garden will host one of the biggest mixed martial arts events to date with “UFC 205” where Conor McGregor will challenge Eddie Alvarez for his UFC Lightweight Championship. McGregor has taken out everybody in his path to featherweight gold, but the fighter that gave him the most issues was Chad Mendes at “UFC 189”.

If Conor McGregor has said it once, he has said it a thousand times: When a fighter signs on the dotted lines to square off with Conor McGregor, it’s “red panty night”. Essentially what McGregor is getting at is that when you fight him, you will get paid a lot more money than if you were fighting anybody else. While this has proven to be true with Nate Diaz who earned the third highest payday in Ultimate Fighting Championship history with $2,000,000, Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone doesn’t necessarily believe “red panty night” to be true.

UFC officials confirmed to The Wall Street Journal  on Thursday that 23 celebrities have invested in the world’s largest MMA promotion. Included are sports stars Tom Brady, Cam Newton, Maria Sharapova, and Serena and Venus Williams, actors Ben Affleck and Mark Wahlberg, musicians Adam Levine and LL Cool J, and talk-show host Conan O’Brien.

After the sale of the UFC in July for a reported $4 billion to William Morris Endeavor and International Management Group, many in the industry weren’t exactly sure what was going to happen to the brand of the world’s most dominant MMA promotion. WME|IMG — joined by Silver Lake Partners, KKR, MSD Capital and MSD Partners — announced early Friday that the ownership group has expanded greatly, including many prominent Hollywood and professional sports figures. New to the ownership group of the UFC are Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye, Adam Levine, Anthony Kiedis, Ben Affleck, Calvin Harris, Cam Newton, Conan O’Brien, Flea, Guy Fieri, Jimmy Kimmel, Li Na, LL COOL J, Maria Sharapova, Mark Wahlberg, Michael Bay, Rob Dyrdek, Robert Kraft, Serena Williams, Sylvester Stallone, Tom Brady, Trey Parker, Tyler Perry and Venus Williams. “Expanding our ownership group to include this caliber of talent and entrepreneurs is a strong indicator of UFC’s fast-growing global presence,” UFC President Dana White said. “Our new investors bring an incredible depth of knowledge and experience to help us continue to elevate this brand and capitalize on its entertainment and sports crossover appeal.

RFA 44 Weigh-in Results: Thiago Moises, Zach Freeman Cleared for Title Tilt

Our new triblend t-shirt commemorating Muhammad Ali, who was one of the most influential Americans of the 20th Century. Ali was not only a champion in the prize ring, but he was a force in civic rights, in politics, in sticking up for his convictions and influences others to do the same. "I am America," he said. "I am the part you won't recognize. But get used to me. Black, confident, cocky; my name, not yours; my religion, not yours; my goals, my own; get used to me."

One of the up-and-coming fighters in the flyweight division is Louis Smolka ($9,400) , and the Hawaiian will look to improve to on his current four-fight win streak when he takes on UFC newcomer Brandon Moreno ($6,800) in the opening main card bout. Smolka, who is just 25, is already an impressive 5-1 overall and looks like he has all the skills to be a force at 125lbs. He was originally supposed to fight Sergio Pettis in what would have been an extremely fun fight, but Pettis pulled out of the fight with an injury and was replaced by Moreno, who is fresh off a loss on The Ultimate Fighter Season 24. Smolka is expected to win this fight and for good reason, but perhaps Moreno can have a good showing and prove his worth as well. It’s hard to ever know what to expect from a fight booked on such short notice, but considering this is the flyweight division, I think fans can expect a high-paced, action-packed bout.

The stagehands at Ultimate Fighting Championship have set up the octagon in Portland, Oregon for “UFC Fight Night 96”. John Lineker and John Dodson will be duking it out for bantamweight supremacy during the main event of the card which is set to kick off at 11:00 PM ET on FS1. Lineker has missed weight for the main event bout by just a half-a-pound and he will be fined twenty percent of his purse.

Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran Josh Samman is allegedly in critical condition, and the mixed martial arts community have already begun their outpour of prayers and support for Samman and his family.

The main event slot is a perfect showcase for Lineker to not only pick up another win in the bantamweight division, but he believes knocking Dodson out — a feat that's never been accomplished — should be enough to put him into title contention.

Jack Hermansson will lock horns with Cezar Ferreira at UFC Fight Night 100 in Sao Paulo on Nov. 19. Promotion officials announced the middleweight pairing on Thursday. UFC Fight Night takes place at Ibirapuera Gymnasium and is headlined by a light heavyweight duel between Alexander Gustafsson and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira. A seven-time veteran of Cage Warriors Fighting Championship, Hermansson was successful in his Octagon debut, earning a unanimous verdict over Scott Askham at UFC Fight Night “Arlovski vs. Barnett” on Sept. 3. “The Joker” is 14-2 as a professional, with eight wins by KO/TKO and four by submission. Cezar “Mutante” enters the matchup on a two-fight winning streak. He kicked off his 2016 campaign with a decision triumph over Oluwale Bamgbose at UFC on Fox 19 before outpointing Anthony Smith at “The Ultimate Fighter 23” finale on July 8. The Brazilian is 6-3 during his promotional tenure.

"I've had coaches that I've had as different role models in my life teach me the same lesson so to see a man go out there and compete and he won the fight fair and square. I can't take that away from him. He was the better man that night. But to carry yourself in that demeanor — to carry yourself that way and to be so unprofessional about things in that type of situation — it was just ugly. I didn't want to have anything to do with it. I don't think it has any place in this sport."

"Everybody gets those jitters the first time and we knew. I don’t ever throw cans at any of these guys that come from anywhere. You want to fight in the UFC, you're going to fight a real guy and Mickey Gall might have been 2-0 but Mickey Gall is legit. That kid's a tough kid, he's a tough up and comer and I respect Punk for giving it a shot."

“What’s been happening is he’s been coming and making weight two or three days before, which happened this time,” said Davis, who’s worked with Lineker since his UFC debut in 2012. “So he’s measuring himself on his scale, he saw he was underweight, and he started consuming not to drop weight too much.” “He would have made it, we just ran out of time,” Davis said. “If we had another hour, he would have done it.” “All the Brazilians had a very hard time making weight because it’s a long flight,” Davis said. “It’s nine hours to Miami, and another seven hours here. So what happens is you dehydrate during the flight. It’s not an excuse. It’s just a problem that exists and we need to handle it.”

The Ultimate Fighting Championship signed a deal with the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) to help clean the sport of mixed martial arts and rid the octagon of performance enhancing drugs. Fighters who are on the active UFC roster are subjected to random drug tests, and heavyweight Brock Lesnar fell victim to USADA just days after “UFC 200” had concluded.
