Josh Thomson On Nate Diaz’s Keys To Victory In Jorge Masvidal Boxing Match: ‘He’s Got A Good Chance’
With the way their first fight went, it’s not much of a surprise that Jorge Masvidal is being favored to beat Nate Diaz once again. This time, however, the two UFC rivals will run it back in the boxing ring instead of the Octagon – which some are suggesting could work to Diaz’s advantage.
Chael Sonnen Claims a Hacker Was Behind His Brutal Comments About Dana White, Conor McGregor, and Others on Twitter
Chael Sonnen has been hacked. Earlier this week, the three-time UFC title challenger seemingly went on a massive Twitter tirade, absolutely shredding Conor McGregor, Israel Adesanya, Jon Jones, and UFC CEO Dana White in the process. Sonnen is certainly no stranger to the occasional hot take, but this was unlike anything ‘The American Gangster’ had said before—except for when he’s talking about Jorge Masvidal.
Jorge Masvidal Predicts How His Boxing Match with Nate Diaz Will End, Reveals Who He Plans to Fight in UFC Return

Ben Askren Knew Jiri Prochazka’s ‘Witchcraft’ Comments Would Cost Him in Alex Pereira Rematch
Jiri Prochazka’s head was in the wrong place going into his anticipated title rematch with Alex Pereira. After coming up short against ‘Poatan’ in their November 2023 clash, Prochazka walked into T-Mobile Arena ready to right the wrongs of the past and reclaim the light heavyweight title he once briefly held. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be.
WBC Expels Ryan Garcia After the Boxing Star Goes on Racist Rant, Garcia’s Family Speaks Out
The downward spiral of Ryan Garcia seems to know no end. After a tumultuous month that has seen him both suspended and arrested, ‘King Ryan’ took another big hit when the World Boxing Council expelled the once-celebrated star after he repeatedly used racial slurs against black people and made disparaging remarks about Muslims during a rant on X Spaces.
Khamzat Chimaev Hit With Harsh Reality Check From UFC Champ Dricus Du Plessis
Dricus Du Plessis thinks we’re “wasting time” talking about a fight between him and Khamzat Chimaev. Still undefeated at 13-0, Chimaev has taken losses outside the Octagon with health issues continuing to plague his fighting career. The UFC contender was slated to meet former champ Robert Whittaker in a middleweight title eliminator last month in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, but was forced off the card a week out, due to illness.
Alex Volkanovski Names Two ‘Exciting’ UFC Fights He’d Love At Lightweight: ‘Let’s Have Some Fun’
If we know anything about Alexander Volkanovski, it’s that the former UFC Champion likes to stay active. For the first time in his MMA career, Volkanovski is coming off of back-to-back losses. The Australian was knocked out by lightweight champ Islam Makhachev on short notice last October and four months later, he’d drop down in weight for a featherweight title defense against Ilia Topuria.
Paige VanZant Dishes Details on Her Viral Power Slap Debut and All the Side Hustles That Keep Her Financially Secure
After taking that first slap, Paige VanZant was brimming with confidence. The former UFC star turned BKFC brawler tackled yet another combat sport last month, stepping up to the podium in Las Vegas for her Power Slap debut. Matched up with Christine ‘The Edge’ Wolmarans, ’12 Gauge’ delivered a solid showing in her promotional debut, taking home a unanimous decision victory after buckling her opponent in the second and third rounds.
Tom Aspinall Ready to Welcome a Heavyweight Title Clash with Alex Pereira: ‘We’ll Absolutely Do It’
If he can’t get a fight with Jon Jones, interim titleholder Tom Aspinall will gladly welcome a clash with Alex Pereira. Returning to the Octagon for a short-notice scrap with Jiri Prochazka at UFC 303, ‘Poatan’ delivered yet another epic highlight-reel KO, finishing ‘BJP’ in the opening seconds of the second round with a perfectly timed head kick followed by a few unnecessary shots on the ground.
Kick Streamer N3on Disrespects Nate Diaz, Gets Chased Into the Street by the Ex-UFC Star’s Crew: ‘Please, I’m sorry!’
YouTube star N3on found out the hard way what happens when you disrespect Nate Diaz. Ahead of Diaz’s return to the boxing ring for a highly anticipated scrap with former UFC foe Jorge Masvidal in Anaheim, the ‘Stockton Samurai’ fielded questions at the final press conference ahead of fight night. There, the teenage streamer asked a question that he had to know was going to infuriate the often volatile Diaz.
“If I’m Jon Jones…” Daniel Cormier Says UFC Champ Should Fight Alex Pereira After Stipe Miocic
Jon Jones is still on the fence when it comes to fighting a few more times. It’s hard to say anybody else has had a better career than the two-division UFC Champion, but all things must come to an end and Jones knows he won’t hold onto his heavyweight title forever. Jones, 36, got injured ahead of his title defense last year against Stipe Miocic – one he hopes to run back later this year.
Ilia Topuria Blames Max Holloway For Dragging His Feet on UFC Title Fight, ‘Blessed’ Responds: ‘I Been Ready’
Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway are doing a lot more finger-pointing than fighting these days. It’s been four months since ‘El Matador’ KO’d Alexander Volkanovski in the second round of their UFC 298 headliner to capture the featherweight world title and we still aren’t any closer to seeing him defend his belt for the first time. Of course, who’s to blame for that all depends on who you’re talking to.
