UFC 270 results, live stream play-by-play updates | Ngannou vs. Gane

Demian Maia has been flirting with retirement for a few years now, but targets one final dance. A former two-time Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) title challenger in two different divisions (Middleweight and Welterweight), Maia has etched his name into the mixed martial arts (MMA) history books as arguably the greatest Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioner of all time.

Alex Polizzi went toe-to-toe with Yoel Romero in Bellator 280’s co-main event on May 6, 2022, in Paris, France. The fight nearly went the distance had it not been for “Soldier of God” scoring a buzzer-beating technical knockout win in the fifth and final round. Aside from...

When mixed martial arts (MMA) fans think about the quickest rises to superstardom and title contention in the sport’s history, names like former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) champions and all-time greats, Jon Jones and B.J. Penn, are perhaps the two that will come immediately to mind. In 2022, a...

Michel Pereira is riding a solid wave of momentum. The Brazilian has won five in a row at 170 lbs., recently picking up a performance bonus and Top 15 ranking by taking out Santiago Ponzinibbio. This story comes from his victory before that, however, when Ponzinibbio scored a hard-fought win over Andre Fialho at UFC 270.

Tito Ortiz apparently still has at least one more fight left in him. The former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight champion has done more fighting outside of the cage as a politician rather than inside it as a fighter in recent years. Having fought in back-to-back-to-back years from 2017 to 2019, Ortiz currently rides a three-fight win streak in mixed martial arts (MMA).

UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya recently rid himself of former titleholder Robert Whittaker and could soon be free of the Jared Cannonier threat. But even if “The Last Stylebender” gets past “The Killa Gorilla” at UFC 276 in July, there’s a new crop of 185-pound contenders ready to step up.

Sean Strickland has made it very easy to dislike him during his rise to stardom in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Middleweight division. I mean, just today (Thurs., May 26, 2022) the man got suspended from Twitter ... and it was not his first social media timeout. While “Tarzan” isn’t...

Victor Henry made quite the impression in his Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) debut earlier this year. A former Deep Bantamweight champion and RIZIN contender, Henry has fought the majority of his career making a name for himself in Japan. The experience gained along the 27-fight journey has been paramount in getting his skills sharpened for his new home in the Octagon. However, unlike most, the 35-year-old Henry (22-5) has the unique perspective of having competed under several different rulesets and criteria.

Longtime kickboxing rivals Badr Hari and Alistair Overeem will finally complete their trilogy in the GLORY: “Collision 4” main event, a heavyweight showdown recently made official for Oct. 8, 2022 inside GelreDome in Arnhem, Netherlands.

Beneil Dariush may have missed his opportunity to face Islam Makhachev ... at least in a non-title bout. The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Lightweight title is officially up for grabs after uncrowned kingpin, Charles Oliveira, missed weight by a half-pound ahead of his recent outing against Justin Gaethje. Despite the pre-fight drama, Oliveira handled his business as he has been for his past 11 fights, finishing Gaethje in roughly three minutes via first round rear-naked choke submission (watch highlights).

Gervonta Davis and Rolando Romero nearly came to blows Friday afternoon during official weigh ins for their lightweight title fight this weekend on Showtime pay-per-view (PPV) from inside Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Both lightweights stepped on the scale and successfully weighed in to make their title fight official....

Tai Tuivasa is currently one of the best entertainers Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has to offer. The Australian slugger is riding high off the biggest wave of momentum in his career with five straight knockouts and a massive main event slot awaiting. Known for his patented shoey celebration, which sees Tuivasa (even Dana White!) drink beer and spit from a shoe, the 29-year-old recently expressed his interest in professional wrestling’s World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

Former Bellator MMA champion Michael Chandler got back into the win column and preserved his spot in the official lightweight rankings by smashing Tony Ferguson at the UFC 274 pay-per-view (PPV) event earlier this month in Phoenix. After securing a first-round knockout, “Iron” used his post-fight interview to call for...

Five-time “World’s Strongest Man” Mariusz Pudzianowski (16-7) will make his return to combat sports on Sat. (May 28) when he collides with grizzled Polish standout “Magic” Michal Materla (31-8) atop the KSW 70 MMA event from inside Atlas Arena in Lodz, Poland. Watch them face...

MMA fighters and bad tattoos, a combination as successful as peanut butter and chocolate. That’s said without judgement, too, speaking as the professional fighter with a diamond carved into the sole of his foot. The longstanding trend makes it clear that getting questionable tattoos is a hard urge to resist for those who get punched in the face for money. Just to name a few examples over the years, there’s iffy ink of famous flying knees, brand-elevating skull helmets, and of course, a certain homage to the great Johnny Cash.

Former interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson was hoping to snap a three-fight losing streak at the UFC 274 pay-per-view (PPV) event earlier this month in Phoenix. Instead, “El Cucuy” was knocked clean out by Michael Chandler in the very first frame. Getting his clock cleaned by the former...
