Shavkat Rakhmonov and Belal Muhammad continue their war of words. At UFC 304, Muhammad claimed the UFC welterweight title with a five-round domination of rival Leon Edwards. Following his win, many assumed Rakhmonov would be first in line to face the newly crowned champion, and Rakhmonov recently revealed he was in fact offered a title shot in October that Muhammad declined, with Rakhmonov then suggesting Muhammad wasn’t living up to his declaration that he’d be an active champion.

Shavkat Rakhmonov fires back at Belal Muhammad: ‘Do you have a case of selective memory?’

MMA fans have seen many knockouts that end in awkward landings, but very few see an opponent fall into the splits. That’s what happened on Saturday. In the lightweight main event of JCK Fight Night 91 in Fuzhou, China, Kai Lu absolutely obliterated opponent Askhat Akimov with a sensational uppercut that sent Akimov into the splits position while unconscious. After a (probably unnecessary) follow-up shot from Lu, the referee finally stepped in to stop the fight at 64 seconds of the opening round.

Chael Sonnen has his thoughts on who the UFC’s main attraction is right now. And it’s not Conor McGregor. In August 2023, at a Q&A ahead of the UFC 292 main event featuring Aljamain Sterling defending his bantamweight title against Sean O’Malley, Sonnen praised O’Malley as having the “It Factor” and called him “a star on the rise.” O’Malley went on to defeat Sterling by knockout to become UFC champion and a year later, Sonnen believes that there has officially been a changing of the guard as far as who draws the most eyeballs in MMA.

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.
