BJJ legend Craig Jones submitted Gabi Garcia in their bizarre intergender jiu-jitsu match last weekend. On Saturday night, UFC 305 took place in Perth, Australia.

[Note: Unless otherwise indicated, the commentary and quotes in this article are from the author's interview with those mentioned.]. Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the most popular actors from the 1950s to her unfortunate passing from cancer in 1995. Before, during, and after her benchmark Emmy-nominated role as twitch-witch Samantha Stephens on TV's Bewitched (ABC, 1964-1972), Montgomery made over 200 additional appearances in other weekly shows, TV-movies, and feature films.

Tom Aspinall took it to Jon Jones on Monday, and now the UFC heavyweight champion and all-time great has issued his response. In a series of posts on X, Jones (27-1 MMA, 21-1 UFC) clarified his stance towards Aspinall (15-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC), who currently holds the interim heavyweight title, and fired back at the Englishman’s comments suggesting that Jones was avoiding fighting him.

Johnny Walker’s little big brother Valter Walker earned his first UFC win on Saturday night in Perth, Australia, submitting Junior Tafa with a heel hook in the first round. It was a somewhat controversial win because Tafa didn’t tap — instead, his screams of pain as Walker wrenched his heel led to the referee stopping things, declaring it a win via verbal submission. That’s perfectly legit and by the book, but Tafa was so upset about the call he hounded Walker in the cage following the fight and even slapped his face (watch it all here).

The UFC heavyweight division is in desperate need of another young prospect and may just have a new life with Rizvan Kuniev.As a former Wushu Sanda practitioner from Dagestan Makhachkala, Russia, Kuniev was a fighter many had their eye on on the second episode of season eight of "Dana White's Contender Series." The Dagestani wrestler delivered in the penultimate fight of the night with a last-second first-round knockout of Hugo Cunha.

Casual UFC fans, the ones who buy tickets and actually pay for their pay-per-view (PPV) streams, love highlight-reel finishes — particularly knockouts. And as we saw against Jamahal Hill (UFC 300) and Jiri Prochazka (UFC 303), reigning light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira, is one of the best in the business when it comes to switching off the lights.

I guess Merab Dvalishvili didn't learn anything from the “Ahalkalakets” fiasco.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.

Opinion: Stop Stereotyping Bad Teeth as a Sign of Drug Addiction
