The names involved may not be recognized by most western audiences, but fight fans might want to start getting familiar with Ryuki Matsuda. The 18-year-old kickboxer cut his teeth on the amateur circuit in Japan, fighting dozens of times and winning most of those bouts. He turned professional in 2021, quickly racking up an 11-0 professional record before opting to transition into the rules of Muay Thai. His first Muay Thai match came against fellow Japanese kickboxer Issei Ishii and resulted in a draw.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Shields vs Joanisse: Untelevised undercard set for July 27

Hamzah Sheeraz was so far from Tyler Denny’s plans that the European middleweight champion agreed to spar him to help his preparations for Austin “Ammo” Williams. The highest-profile fight of the 33-year-old Denny’s career, on the undercard of Daniel Dubois-Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium on September 21, also represents his most dangerous on account of the rapidly improving Sheeraz’s heavy hands.

Last night (Sat., July 13, 2024), Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) ventured forth to the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado for UFC Denver. Alas, it really felt like the promotion took an Apex event on the road. It didn’t help that both the scheduled main and co-main event bouts were marred by injury, but even at its best, UFC Denver was never a particularly high-profile night of action.
