Harry Kettle - September 5, 2023

UFC star Jared Cannonier is set to weigh-in as the backup fighter for the UFC 293 main event, as per MMA Fighting. This weekend, Israel Adesanya will defend his UFC middleweight championship against Sean Strickland. It’ll serve as the first time he’s defended the belt in his second reign following his knockout win over Alex Pereira earlier this year. Strickland, meanwhile, is getting his first crack at the title, largely as a result of Dricus du Plessis not being ready in time for this contest.

Harry Kettle - July 12, 2023

While he’s still one of the most talked-about athletes on the UFC roster, the hype behind him perhaps isn’t as strong as it once was.

Jared Cannonier interested in "fun fight" with Khamzat Chimaev if he beats Marvin Vettori

Cole Shelton - May 31, 2023

Jared Cannonier is open to being the first-ranked middleweight to fight Khamzat Chimaev. Chimaev has not fought since last September when he submitted Kevin Holland in the first round – but he badly missed weight, which resulted in the opponent change. Since then, he hasn’t got a fight booked and although there are rumors of him facing Kamaru Usman next, if that doesn’t happen Cannonier thinks he and Chimaev would be a fun fight.
