World Wrestling Entertainment returns to Staples Center in California, bringing the Hell in a Cell structure with them for the very first time! Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker are set to clash in the cage in what is being hyped as the duo’s last meeting. This will be Lesnar’s and Undertaker’s third meeting in the ring since Wrestlemania 30 when “The Beast” ended “The Deadman’s” historic streak.

All signs are pointing to Manny Pacquiao making his return to professional boxing in April of 2016 in what will be his last fight before he hangs up his gloves for good. “Pac-Man” has not competed in a boxing ring since his record-breaking fight with Floyd Mayweather in May 2015’s “fight of the century”. The result didn’t play out exactly how Manny had hoped; Mayweather’s defensive style of fighting ultimately led to “Money’s” hands being raised in victory after twelve rounds of action. Rumors circulated whether or not a rematch would take place before Mayweather confirmed his retirement after his bout with Andre Berto in September.

Bellator made their long-awaited return after a one month layoff between cards with “Bellator 144” which took place at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. The vacated Bellator Middleweight Championship found a new owner on Friday night when Rafael Carvalho disposed of Brandon Halsey in less than ten minutes with a brutal liver kick. Halsey never lost the title in competition, but rather due to a technicality. He walked into his Bellator 137 bout with Kendall Grove overweight and was stripped of the championship. The only way the championship would leave the cage slung over somebody’s shoulder that night was if Grove were to walk out victorious as Halsey was restricted from winning it.

As a spectator, we always have the option to either turn our heads or change the channel if it gets to an extreme level; Watching someone get repeatedly punched in the skull can only be fun for so long.
