Fernando Quiles Jr. - February 5, 2026
A surging UFC bantamweight star claims Umar Nurmagomedov has been sidestepping him. Nurmagomedov hasn’t exactly sealed another crack at the UFC Bantamweight Championship. His last five fights have all ended via decision. Nurmagomedov hasn’t scored a finish since early 2023. Finishers and fighters with exciting styles have been highly valued by the UFC brass as of late, and Nurmagomedov might need to find what’s missing before he can get another crack at the 135-pound gold.

Chris Taylor - March 2, 2024
The Octagon returned to Nevada for today’s UFC Vegas 87 event, an 11-bout fight card headlined by Jairzinho Rozenstruik vs. Shamil Gaziev. The highly anticipated heavyweight main event resulted in a TKO victory for Jairzinho Rozenstruik following the conclusion of round four. ‘Bigi Boy’ was able to stifle the grappling of Shamil Gaziev early and often in the fight and proceeded to pepper his powerful opponent with jabs and low kicks throughout the twenty-minute affair. After a lopsided five minutes in the fourth frame, Gaziev seemingly had no interest in continuing and the referee eventually stepped in and called a stop to the contest. It was a disappointing ending, but still a solid and impressive performance from the veteran.
