The Independent Voice of Mixed Martial Arts
The return of Conor McGregor kicked off the 2020 MMA calendar with his highly-anticipated – if rather short-lived – fight with American Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone. A number of fights are already scheduled for the rest of the calendar year with Israel Adesanya and Yoel Romero doing battle on Sunday 8 March. Adesanya is 4/7 to … Read more
UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya loves his walk outs but we guarantee you that messing with light heavyweight champ Jon Jones makes him happier. Every time you think it’s over -boom – Adesanya comes back even harder. Before his last title defense we heard a seemingly refocused and grown up Jones say that he had … Read more

LOL. UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya has jokes for the ‘probably not for long’ light heavyweight champion Jon Jones. If you are reading this then you certainly know the trouble that Mr. Jones is in. Another DWI, related firearms charge, and a few misdemeanors sprinkled in here and there.

After essentially blowing the last chance he will likely get at capturing the UFC middleweight championship, Yoel Romero was heavily criticized. He often stood motionless and stared at champion Israel Adesanya only occasionally displaying that terrifying aggression that has won him so many fights. He’s an Olympic silver medalist and former world gold medalist in … Read more
UFC 248 goes down Saturday with a blockbuster headline bout featuring UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya vs monster challenger Yoel Romero. The co-main is former strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk challenging current champ Weili Zhang. Romero is 42 years old but he doesn’t move like it and we hope Adesanya is paying attention.

This is cool. Current UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya’s 2019 knockout win over then champ Robert Whittaker silenced a lot of critics who said Israel was one dimensional. It was a sudden and spectacular right hand that put Whittaker on the canvas and made Adesanya’s career soar to new heights. The UFC gave the KO … Read more

Hype has been steadily increasing with … Read more
