UFC veteran Michael Chandler has admitted that he needs a win in his next outing as he continues to tease a Conor McGregor fight. One thing we know to be true is that Michael Chandler is a warrior.

Former UFC star Ronda Rousey takes a shot at Joe Rogan

Harry Kettle - October 31, 2025

Former UFC champion and superstar Ronda Rousey has taken a shot at the promotion’s most famous commentator Joe Rogan. As we know, Ronda Rousey is easily one of the biggest stars in mixed martial arts history. She helped put women’s MMA on the map and for a while, she was one of the biggest names in combat sports – and perhaps all of sports. Unfortunately, following losses to Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes, she fell off the map, and she also fell out of favor with a lot of fans because of how she responded to those defeats.

Ronda Rousey thinks Khabib Nurmagomedov's retirement spotlights a lack of reverence for MMA greats within the culture

Dylan Bowker - October 30, 2025

Ronda Rousey recently touched on Khabib Nurmagomedov’s retirement from MMA as something that stands out as a microcosm of a more toxic side of the MMA fandom. This was expressed by the dominant former UFC bantamweight champion during a recent interview with Bert Kreischer. Rousey covered multiple topics and opined about the rigidity of mixed martial arts fans demanding perfection, otherwise, that fighter was never skilled to begin with. ‘Rowdy’ didn’t just reference her own drop off as an example of that idea, but invoked the names of several prominent fighters who drew out the vitriol of fans for not being perfect.

That’s been the case for a long time now, and his legacy grew even further back in April when he defeated Diego Lopes to regain his UFC featherweight championship. Now, as we look ahead to the future, it seems as if Lerone Murphy could be the next man lined up to face him – but that has yet to be confirmed.

The business methodologies of the UFC have come under fire for years now, and the UFC’s first-ever Canadian champion has offered up his viewpoint on things.
