Former UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley believes Ilia Topuria has already cemented himself as the greatest fighter in MMA history. Before a loss to Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 306, Sean O’Malley had Ilia Topuria in his sights for a potential clash inside the Octagon. At the time, O’Malley was the UFC’s bantamweight champion, while Topuria knocked out Alexander Volkanovski to become the UFC featherweight titleholder.

Cory Sandhagen has a surprising prediction for his bantamweight title fight against Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 320. Sandhagen enters the bout as a sizable underdog. Many expect Dvalishvili’s cardio and wrestling to be too much for him. However, Sandhagen doesn’t seem too fazed about the odds or people picking against him, as he has confidence in his own game.

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira doesn’t have one-punch knockout power, according to Magomed Ankalaev’s longtime coach. UFC light heavyweight champion Magomed Ankalaev’s first title defense will come against the man he won a title against, Alex Pereira, in the UFC 320 main event this Saturday in Las Vegas. The rematch comes just months after Ankalaev defeated Pereira by unanimous decision to end Pereira’s historic light heavyweight title reign.

Alex Pereira plans to put on a great performance to reclaim his light heavyweight title against Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 320. Pereira suffered a decision loss to Ankalaev earlier this year to lose his title, and he’s getting an immediate rematch.

Magomed Ankalaev has suggested that Alex Pereira may have been greasing during their first fight earlier this year. At UFC 313 earlier this year, Magomed Ankalaev defeated Alex Pereira to become the new UFC light heavyweight champion. It was the moment he’d waited his entire career for, and it had finally arrived. Now, at UFC 320 on Saturday night, the two will run it back as ‘Big Ank’ attempts to successfully defend the strap for the first time.

Henry Cejudo believes that Dana White will eventually cave and allow Jon Jones to fight at the White House next year. Right now, there’s a lot of talk about next summer’s UFC White House event. While we obviously won’t know about any of the fights scheduled for the card for quite a few months to come, big names like Conor McGregor and Jon Jones have been mentioned as possible candidates to headline this historic show for the promotion.

Former UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal has called for a collision with rival Leon Edwards at the White House next year. Once upon a time, Jorge Masvidal was one of the biggest names in mixed martial arts – and perhaps combat sports as a whole. He had an incredible year in which he defeated Darren Till, Ben Askren and Nate Diaz to vault himself into title contention. However, after consecutive losses at the hands of Kamaru Usman, ‘Gamebred’ fell right back down the pecking order.

UFC legend Dustin Poirier has revealed whether or not he misses fighting after his retirement from mixed martial arts. Earlier this year, Dustin Poirier made the walk to the Octagon for the final time in his home state of Louisiana. He went out there and put on a really fun fight against long-time rival Max Holloway, and while he didn’t pick up the victory, he certainly proved that he can still compete at the elite level. Alas, despite that, ‘The Diamond’ still made the difficult decision to hang up his gloves and ride off into the sunset.

Dominick Reyes is in good spirits following a knockout loss this past Saturday. Reyes was in a pivotal light heavyweight matchup with Carlos Ulberg in the UFC Perth headliner. The bout ended in the opening frame when Ulberg delivered a one-two combination that sent Reyes crashing to the canvas. Ulberg finished the fight via knockout and he figures to be in prime position to challenge the winner of the UFC 320 rematch between Magomed Ankalaev and Alex Pereira.

Israel Adesanya is no longer seeking a rematch with an unexpected rival. Fans won’t soon forget one of the biggest upsets in combat sports history back in Sept. 2023. Adesanya put the UFC Middleweight Championship at stake against Sean Strickland. “The Last Stylebender” had no answer for the relentless pressure of Strickland, and he dropped the 185-pound title via unanimous decision.

Ronda Rousey has stoked the flames regarding a potential UFC comeback, but one former fighter advises against it. Rousey was a pioneer of women’s MMA, convincing Dana White to introduce the UFC women’s bantamweight division. “Rowdy” was the inaugural UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion. Her bouts were often quick and one-sided, and she became one of the most popular stars in the UFC. Rousey’s dominant run ended when she was knocked out by Holly Holm via head kick. “Rowdy” then suffered a 48-second TKO loss to Amanda Nunes, which was the last bout of her pro MMA career.
