Surprise, surprise, LFA brings yet another KO of the Year fighter to UFC FIGHT PASS. Kickboxing megastar Alex Pereira came with as much hype behind him as one would expect for the only man to ever KO middleweight champ Israel Adesanya. His opponent Thomas Powell was thinking head kick defense one too many times and

He told us it was going to be easy, and when they finally met at UFC 253 in September, Adesanya backed up his words. He chopped at Costa’s lead leg throughout the first round and had the challenger biting on every feint, avoiding any real damage as he made his reads, gauging his adversary’s speed,

For the 37-year-old from Cieszyn, Poland, it wasn’t just the culmination of years of hard work, but a testament to the power of persistence, a sign to all fighters (and all people, for that matter), that getting knocked down is the end of the journey only when you refuse to get back up and fight.

While intensity continued to rise through the night, so did the ring announcer’s excitement. Fight after fight, K.C. Lupp’s time on the microphone seemed to grow. “Ladies and gentlemen, before I get to this, I want to thank you,” Lupp said from the center of the XFN cage before the main event. “My name is

“It means a lot; it means he’s starting to see and recognize (what I’m doing and what I’m chasing),” Usman said when asked about White’s comments and lofty projections for him. “I think he’s starting to understand that I’m that guy who has always been willing to fight. I’ve never said, ‘No, I’m not fighting

15. Aldo Foreshadowing – WEC 38: Jose Aldo finishing Rolando Perez via knees was impressive enough on its own, but when he left the Octagon to run into the crowd and celebrate long before he ever did it in the UFC, it was a moment that nobody will forget. Fans who were hanging around WEC

“I don’t think it will ever get to my head and I don’t think it’s ever gonna be enough for me,” Volkanovski said. “I always say that there’s no end goal for me. Me being the champion was never an end goal. It was a goal of mine, but not my end goal. I have

While the featherweight division remains one of the deepest in the UFC, 2020 was a relatively quiet year for the weight class. Volkanovski bested Max Holloway in a razor-close decision win that had many blasting the “robbery” horn, but regardless, the Australian, at the very least, proved his qualities as champion. He’ll likely face a

“That might have been about the most intense situation,” Pulver said. “I was pretty heated. It was bad. There was even fighting going on amongst the crowd right there. Not like punching, but there was a lot going on.” Pulver would go on to fight Urijah Faber for the WEC featherweight title seven months later

After a tumultuous 2008 that saw Quinton “Rampage” Jackson lose his light heavyweight title, change his managerial and training teams, and deal with out of the Octagon issues, he finished off the year by knocking out his old nemesis Wanderlei Silva in the first round of their UFC 92 bout. It was Jackson’s first win

It’s the final episode of UFC Unfiltered of 2020! Jim and Matt start the show with Marvin Vettori. He shares why he’s not worried about facing off against Israel Adesanya in the future, why Darren Till makes sense as his next opponent, and why he’ll eventually need to face Kevin Holland in the Octagon. Then,

One listen to his podcast or one skim of his Twitter account and you’ll see that Hunter is no stranger to forcing fighters to choose between laughter and their pride and he held nothing back in “Throwing Punches.” Henry Cejudo, Jon Jones, fighters in attendance, Luke Rockhold and many more, all took their jabs from

“I knew Joanna and I were in a very exciting battle even before the actual fighting started,” Zhang said. “But as the fight progressed it was very evident that this was an epic fight because she brought out the best in me, which I believe I did to her as well.” With the victory, Zhang

It wasn’t too long ago that fight fans wondered if the UFC’s flyweight division was going to be a thing of the past. But fast forward, and as 2021 approaches, the 125-pounders are in a better position than ever, there are a host of intriguing contenders and prospects, and the man ruling the weight class

Stephen Thompson has delivered plenty of impressive performances over the years, but I don’t think I enjoyed a “Wonderboy” effort quite like I did his win over Geoff Neal on Saturday. In my eyes, that fight showed why we watch combat sports, from the technique of both men, the heated exchanges and the grit each

“It’s a gateway to introduce the division because people will get to know everyone and their personality, so it’s perfect,” said Calderwood, who laughs when asked if she’s already started scouting the other seven ladies already chosen for the show (the other eight competitors will be selected from the recent tryouts in Las Vegas). “I’m

9 – Jon Jones-Dominick Reyes Watch On FIGHT PASS In setting the record for most title fight wins in UFC history, Jon Jones’ 14th championship victory was his toughest, as he had to dig deep and take the fourth and fifth rounds to hold off the charge of Dominick Reyes and retain his light heavyweight

Joaquin Buckley handed middleweight prospect Impa Kasanganay his first pro loss and he also put his name in the race for Knockout of the Year in the process as he finished his foe in the second round. Not surprisingly, Buckley was swinging for the fences, and he rocked Kasanganay early, but North Carolina prospect cleared his
