After cutting flyweight fighter Muhammad Mokaev from the roster, UFC president Dana White removed five more fighters from the organization, which came as a shocking announcement.

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.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was back in the Arabian Gulf this afternoon (Sat., Aug. 3, 2024) with UFC Abu Dhabi on ABC. The mixed martial arts (MMA) event, which took place inside Etihad Arena — a.k.a. “Fight Island” — in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, streamed LIVE on ABC and ESPN+. The main event was a Bantamweight title eliminator with Cory Sandhagen meeting the undefeated Umar Nurmagomedov. The co-main did not feature Nick Diaz because of “travel issues.” His bout with Vicente Luque was scrapped, but in its place we had Shara Magomedov fighting Michal Oleksiejczuk.

This is the UFC Abu Dhabi live blog for Marlon Vera vs. Deiveson Figueiredo, the featured bantamweight fight on Saturday evening. One of the most popular fighters in the bantamweight division, “Chito” is coming off a failed attempt to claim the bantamweight title, losing a one-sided decision to rival Sean O’Malley back in March. Still only 31 years old, Vera is now well outside the title picture, but a win over the former flyweight champion would be a big step towards getting back into the mix at 135 pounds.
