UFC CEO Dana White has been pretty tight lipped when it comes to the ongoing antitrust class action lawsuit winding its way through the court system for the past 10 years. But following Nevada judge Richard Boulware’s rejection of a proposed $335 million settlement, White is suggesting the judge may hold a grudge against him that dates back to 1986.

Zuck and his relationship with mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters continue. You probably know by now that the 2024 Olympic Games are currently taking place in Paris, France; however, on Saturday (Aug. 3, 2024), Mark Zuckerberg released a video on his Instagram of UFC Light Heavyweight champion Alex Pereira and himself competing in various Olympic sports.

Dana White predicts that UFC 306 could break the previous gate records, as it is one of the most hyped events in UFC. In comparison, it’s been tough to hit such high numbers without a star like Conor McGregor. However, fighters like Alex Pereira and Sean O’Malley have recently made their mark in the top 10 highest gate records. Now that UFC 306, also known as UFC Noche, is set to take place on Mexican Independence Day, there’s a chance White’s prediction might come true. Let’s review the past gate records and see if this event could break them.

Yesterday was the third time this year that an ad stating Chelsea Clinton lives in a beautiful Virginia home popped up on my laptop. My computer did not warn me this was a dangerous site, so this time, I clicked on the link.

Alvarez impressed in his return to the octagon after a year long layoff and reminded us all he’s one of the very best on Earth. King Green is now outside the rankings and I think it’s fitting for Alvarez to get one more high level tune up before chasing the rankings. Green can provide this tune up towards year’s end and if Alvarez succeeds, he will get a chance to earn a ranking sometime next year.

Hope Logan Spencer (Anikka Noelle) was the voice of reason on The Bold and the Beautiful until recently. Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) has said many times that Hoep is fair, and he admires her morals. The writers have recently shifted the character, and Virginia fans differ on how they feel about it.

It’s really not hard to understand why some fight fans are excited about Shara Magomedov. First and foremost, his name ends in “Ov.” If you haven’t noticed, Dagestani fighters have been running the board for a while now, and bettors have picked up on the trend. Add in a unique look and undefeated record, and baby, you’ve got a bonafide hype train picking up steam. Three fights into his UFC career, Magomedov believers are justified so far, as he’s largely trounced a trio of reasonably solid opponents.

Mackenzie Dern entered her main card Strawweight battle versus Loopy Godinez in pretty dire straights. Though ranked at No. 7 in the world, Dern’s last two performances weren’t great. Jessica Andrade knocked her out badly towards the end of 2013, then earlier this year, Amanda Lemos scored a ton of punishing shots en route to a dominant decision win. Worse than the outcomes themselves, Dern appeared to be regressing, which happens when you suddenly stop working with your acclaimed boxing coach.

Did Marlon Vera return to the octagon a bit too soon after taking a hellacious beating at the hands of Sean O’Malley back in March?. That’s a question “Chito” is asking himself after losing to Deiveson Figueiredo via decision on the undercard of UFC on ABC: Sandhagen vs. Nurmagomedov. Figueiredo became the first fighter to ever knock Vera down in the UFC (watch the highlights where), which could just be a testament to the former flyweight champion’s power at bantamweight. But in a statement posted on social media after the event, Vera suggested the damage he took five months earlier played a part.

Belal Muhammad wants one of his biggest rivals to ‘keep that same energy’ if they clash in person as he slams his fellow welterweight in a brutal rant. ‘Remember the Name’ proved all the doubters wrong at UFC 304, winning the 170-pound championship belt in dominant fashion to solidify his position as the greatest welterweight on the planet.

Dana White has announced one of the biggest and most hyped fights of this year. Ilia Topuria is set to make his first title defense against ‘BMF’ Max Holloway. While this announcement alone is enough to get fans talking, it has generated even more buzz due to the fact that the UFC boss mistakenly referred to Topuria as the Lightweight Champion. This error has led to plenty of fan reactions and discussions. Let’s take a look at how fight fans are reacting to this fumble by White.
