Former UFC strawweight title challenger Karolina Kowalkiewicz believes that the winner of her UFC 228 fight with Jessica Andrade should be next in line for UFC strawweight champion Rose Namajunas. In her eyes, the rest of the world probably agrees with this statement. “I think this fight against Jessica Andrade will be a title eliminator,” Karolina Kowalkiewicz said in an interview with Poland’s MMANews.pl. “Not only do I think this way, but also the rest of the world.

On September 8, in the main event of UFC 228 in Dallas, UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley will attempt to defend his title against undefeated contender Darren Till. At least, that’s the plan… As we’ve seen time and time again, no matchup is safe until the both fighters are locked in the cage. Factors like injuries, illness and weight-cut issues can derail planned fights mere hours before they happen.

Darren Till missed weight for his last fight, a May decision defeat of Stephen Thompson. As a result, he’s got a lot of eyes on him as he prepares for his UFC 228 title fight with UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley. If he misses weight again, after all, he will not be eligible to win the title. Speaking to the media on Tuesday, Till did not deny that his cut down to the welterweight division’s 170-pound limit has been miserable. That said, he seems to be on track.

Despite having come up short in his most recent attempted title defense, there is no question that Demetrious Johnson is one of the all-time greats. Even in his rematch with Henry Cejudo at UFC 227, it wasn’t as if the mighty one was blown out of the water in his split decision loss.

Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor exchanged an unprecedented amount of trash talk ahead of their headline-dominating 2017 boxing match. As this boxing match has gotten smaller and smaller in the rear view mirror, however, the pair’s heated beef seems to have cooled down.
