7:40 AM ET There’s still one month left in 2019, but the UFC is already in the process of booking its first quarter of fights for 2020. And as we head into the new year, two of the biggest names in the sport — the two names it seems, everyone has their eyes on —
She used to want to be called “Joanna Champion’ but now there’s a new title Joanna Jedrzejczyk is looking for: The Female BMF. Earlier this month, Jorge Masvidal claimed the inaugural BMF title with a dominant, yet controversial win over Nate Diaz at UFC 244. The BMF title – the brainchild of Diaz that was
That must make him very popular behind the curtain. “They think I’m crazy,” he said of the fellow fighters watching his pre-fight demeanor. “But it’s my personality, and when it’s time to go out, I get this stoic look on my face and zone out.” Then it’s fight time, and it’s been over two years

Welcome to Midnight Mania! Boxing and mixed martial arts (MMA) collaborations are all the rage right now, and neither Dana White nor Floyd Mayweather intend to be left behind.

James Gallagher allegedly walked up to Mike Kimbel at a media day for Bellator media day in London on Thursday and punched him square in the face.

9:19 AM ET UFC women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko has her next assignment. Shevchenko is scheduled to meet top contender Katlyn Chookagian on Feb. 8, sources told ESPN. The fight will be on a pay-per-view, but it’s unclear whether it will be labeled UFC 246 or 247. That decision hinges on whether Conor McGregor returns

The striking sensation also discussed why he should get a rematch with Douglas Lima on the back of a victory and
You can’t blame Hooper for feeling this way. He is making his UFC debut before the age of 21 and he’s doing it on the biggest card of the year in Las Vegas. That’s a pretty wild idea for most 20-year-olds. “I think about that every now and again,” he said. “For most people my

When I heard there was a huge scuffle at the Bellator London media day, I thought for sure Michael Page was somehow involved, as “Venom” has a way of getting under the skin of his opponents, in this case late-replacement Giovanni Melillo.
