Just a little over a week ago, Dana White announced that Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler would be headlining UFC 303 on June 29th to conclude International Fight Week.
Michael Chandler does not expect Conor McGregor to pose any threat to him when they fight. He even said UFC 303 could become McGregor’s final outing inside the octagon.
A women’s bantamweight showdown pitting Mayra Bueno Silva against Macy Chiasson has been added to the UFC 303 lineup. The Las Vegas-based promotion announced the booking on Tuesday.
UFC Fight Night: Nicolau vs. Perez is set to be a barn-burner on Saturday. With Matheus Nicolau and Alex Perez squaring off, UFC fans can expect great fights across the card.
After setting up a fascinating main event matchup for May between fan-favorite Lucero Acosta and Bellator veteran Alejandra Lara, Combate Global lost one-half of their upcoming headliner and has gotten a nine-time kickboxing champion to fill the void.
Justin Gaethje had the momentum in his fight at UFC 300 against Max Holloway -- and saw it shift with one kick and one broken nose in the first round. Gaethje lost to Holloway by knockout in the final second of the five-round lightweight fight in Las Vegas on April 13.
Michael Chandler believes Conor McGregor will not be the same fighter he once was on his return to the Octagon this summer. McGregor will return to action after a hiatus of almost three years in a welterweight clash against “Iron” in the main event at UFC 303 on June 29 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Alex Pereira doesn’t like the timing of a potential clash against Magomed Ankalaev in Abu Dhabi. Pereira recently defended his light heavyweight title for the first time with a brutal Round 1 knockout win over Jamahal Hill in the main event at UFC 300.
Jamahal Hill took some time to reflect on what happened at UFC 300. The return to the top didn’t go as expected for the former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, who was coming off a nasty ruptured achilles injury last summer.
One featherweight fighter has peaked Movsar Evloev’s interest. The #5-ranked UFC contender isn’t far away from fighting for the world title. Russia’s Evloev stands at a perfect 18-0 record with six of those wins coming inside the Octagon.
Staying power might be Rani Yahya’s most admirable calling card. A two-decade veteran of mixed martial arts, the American Top Team rep has been presented and accounted for on the Ultimate Fighting Championship roster since 2011.
For Alexandre Pantoja (27-5), getting the opportunity to fight in front of the home crowd doesn’t come often. However, the UFC Flyweight Champion will get that chance on May 4 in Rio de Janeiro, when he’ll fight in the main event of UFC 301 against Steve Erceg.
Justin Gaethje has no regrets about facing Max Holloway and has vowed to bounce back from his UFC 300 loss. Gaethje lost his BMF belt after getting stopped with a second left in the fight.
Fighters can go into devastating slumps that ruin their career. Just look at Holly Holm. After losing to Kayla Harrison at UFC 300, her own boss is calling for her to retire.
