Reading Time: < 1 minutesValentina Shevchenko was a -2000 betting favorite for her title defense against Jennifer Maia on November 21. Shevchenko dominated the fight and kept her belt. It seems as if nobody in the Women’s Flyweight division can pose any real threat to the champion, so what’s next for her? If Shevchenko were to take a fight against a flyweight contender, the betting odds would be heavily in her favor. The only challenger to possibly pose a threat would be former Strawweight Champion Jessica Andrade, only because of her power. Shevchenko can take on two fights that...

Reading Time: < 1 minutesOn October 24, Khabib Nurmagomedov will defend his title against the Interim Champion Justin Gaethje. This has the making to become the fight of the year, this is what I feel each fighter must do in order to win.

Chimaev was scheduled for his first “real” test since his quick rise to fame. However before his fight with Meerschaert, Dana White...

However, I believe that best fight to make should not even be for a belt, instead it would be a title eliminator. That fight is Tony Ferguson vs. Conor McGregor, at lightweight. There is no denying that Conor is the biggest star the UFC has ever seen, and every single time he steps into the octagon sports fans are going to tune in. Dana White would also...

Reading Time: 2 minutesFight Island, located in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, is hosting its first fight card on July 11. One week before the fights started, Welterweight Title Challenger, Gilbert Burns, tested positive for COVID-19 and withdrew from the main event. It was then between Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington to replace Burns and fight Champ Kamaru Usman on one week’s notice. The new main event will be between Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal for the Welterweight belt. Which fighter has the upper hand going into the fight? Most people would think that it would be Kamaru Usman who...
