Despite being the No. 2 ranked contender at light heavyweight, Magomed Ankalaev will not fight for the division’s top prize. In a shocking twist, Dana White announced that reigning titleholder Alex Pereira will headline the promotion’s return to Salt Lake City on October 5.

Christian Mbilli takes on Sergiy Derevyanchenko this Saturday, August 17, at the Centre Videotron in Quebec, Canada. Mbilli is potentially on the verge of a huge fight and victory over the seasoned Derevyanchenko will cement his position as a top challenger to super middleweight king Canelo Alvarez. Already ranked at number one by the WBC and in the top three by all four sanctioning bodies, Mbilli will likely face unified champion Alvarez or perhaps the winner of William Scull vs. Vladimir Shishkin for the vacant IBF title should he win.

Sometimes coincidences happen and you’re glad they did. I wrote a while back about a Denver Police Department officer who saved the day once after I had been thrown out of the homeless shelter on 48th several years ago. I had left my cot to use the restroom, and when I came back there was a man in my bed claiming it was his bed. The shelter manager sided with him and ejected me.
