Conor McGregor’s Black Forge Inn fire-bombed during drive-by attack

Former UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor is just 1-3 in the 155-pound division and his only victory over the last five years came against a mentally defeated Donald Cerrone at 170 pounds, so perhaps it’s not a surprise to learn “Notorious” opened as the betting underdog for a potential Michael Chandler fight.

Even the most diehard Conor McGregor fight would likely admit that times have been tough inside the Octagon for the Irishman. He’s won just a single fight in the last five years, and his last two showdowns opposite Dustin Poirier ended in a knockout loss and broken leg, the latter of which is still keeping McGregor on the sidelines.

Jake Paul has a date for his next boxing bout, but not an opponent. With his team on the lookout for someone with a legit name that will help carry the burden of selling pay-per-view (PPV) units, Anderson Silva certainly seems like a logical potential choice to fight Paul on Aug. 13, 2022.

Last night (Sat., May 21, 2022), “Bang Bang” picked up his second first round knockout victory inside the Octagon over Dusko Todorovic.

After showcasing quality takedown defense, Njokuani took a chance by jumping on an anaconda choke. His setup was actually pretty brilliant, even if he didn’t manage to finish the choke.
