Video | Anthony Romero scores amazing flying knee KO at Fury FC 60

Harry Kettle - April 25, 2022

Anthony Romero made some headlines this weekend with an emphatic flying knee knockout at Fury FC 60. While a lot of casual fans may focus their attention solely on the UFC, and perhaps Bellator every now and then, it’s worth reminding everyone that there’s a whole world of mixed martial arts out there for fans to enjoy. Whether it be veterans attempting to recapture their glory days or rising prospects battling their way to the top, the sport is full of stacked promotions with guys and girls just waiting to break out into the mainstream.

Rafael dos Anjos responds after Dan Hooker suggests he would “smash” his face in: “Gotta be kidding me”

Harry Kettle - April 25, 2022

Rafael dos Anjos has laughed off the idea of facing Dan Hooker after “Hangman” responded to his open challenge. The career resurgence of Rafael dos Anjos has been a joy to behold for many hardcore MMA fans who have long since loved the tenacity and grit of the Brazilian. The former lightweight champion is open to any and all foes which makes him one of the last ‘old school’ fighters in that regard.

Harry Kettle - April 24, 2022

UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira has taken a shot at Justin Gaethje ahead of their battle at UFC 274 next month. For months now we’ve known that Charles Oliveira will be defending his 155-pound title against Justin Gaethje in his next outing. While the UFC 274 card as a whole hasn’t quite captured the imagination of the masses, this is certainly the kind of main event you want to really get fans interested – especially when you take a look at how explosive both men can be.

Fernando Quiles - April 24, 2022

Jorge Masvidal is actually impressed by Jake Paul’s boxing in one aspect. Paul has gone from YouTube star to a professional boxer.

Mike Jackson reacts after winning via disqualification at UFC Vegas 52: “My balls finally stopped hurting after 4 hours”

Fernando Quiles - April 24, 2022

Mike Jackson earned a victory at UFC Vegas 52 but how he got there was less-than-ideal. Jackson shared the Octagon with Dean Barry inside the UFC Apex on April 23. The story of this fight boils down to Barry’s failure to control his weapons. Barry dug his fingers into the eye of Jackson and it appeared to be blatant. This led to a disqualification win for Mike Jackson.

He announced his retirement following a second-round TKO victory over Dominick Cruz to successfully defend the UFC Bantamweight Championship. “Triple C” made it clear that he’d consider a return for the right price.

It won’t come as a surprise to many but Joe Rogan absolutely vouches for Mike Tyson following a flight incident. Most are in agreement that a young man got his comeuppance when he was harassing “Iron” Mike during a flight. Witnesses reportedly said the man was intoxicated.
