UFC legend Nick Diaz and current top welterweight contender Jorge Masvidal took to social media recently to exchange pleasantries and seemingly agree to a fight. Diaz recently had a controversial interview with ESPN’s Ariel Helwani that was met with mixed responses from fans and media who watched it. Nevertheless, the interview put the elder Diaz brother back in the spotlight after his younger brother Nate has become the family’s star in the last few years due to Nick’s absence from the Octagon.

One of UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones’ signature moves is the crawl he makes when he enters the Octagon, and he recently explained why he does it. The first time Jones did the crawl was before he fought Quinton “Rampage” Jackson back at UFC 135 in September 2011. Jones recently admitted that he had nightmares before fighting Jackson and said it was one of the only fights in his career that gave him any sort of fear before he stepped into the Octagon.

Rua and Craig went toe-to-toe for 15 minutes and put on a great fight for the fans. At the end of three rounds, the judges scored the fight 29-28 Rua, 28-29 Craig and 28-28 for a rare split draw. It was a very close fight that could have gone either way.

An opportunity of a lifetime hung in the balance for Paul Craig in Saturday’s co-main event tilt with former UFC light heavyweight champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua. The beautiful city of Sao Paulo served as the backdrop for UFC Fight Night 164, where a journeyman came face-to-face with a beloved MMA legend. Craig (12-4) was coming off a submission victory over Vinicius Moreira back in September at UFC Fight Night 159. Not only did the victory serve as a bounce-back performance after a jarring knockout loss to Alonzo Menifield, but it marked his fourth win under the UFC banner and brought his overall UFC record up to 4-4.

Things didn’t go well for UFC veteran Ross Pearson in his return to MMA, as the former TUF winner was brutally knocked out with a ridiculous rolling thunder head kick by Davy Gallon at Probellum 1 in London. “The Real Deal” retired from MMA earlier this year after suffering a knockout loss to Desmond Green at UFC Fight Night: Barboza vs. Gaethje. He ended up taking a boxing match in Australia and won that fight by knockout. The victory in boxing convinced Pearson that he still had some gas left in the tank and he returned to the MMA cage in his native England.

Former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley believes the UFC will make an offer to YouTuber Logan Paul and try to sign him to fight in the Octagon. Paul recently fought his rival KSI in a boxing match that was streamed live on DAZN, losing a controversial split decision after two points were taken from him for an illegal blow. After the fight KSI suggested that Paul move to MMA to take on CM Punk, and Paul told TMZ earlier this week that his goal now is to fight CM Punk in either the UFC or Bellator. The sportsbooks have even opened a betting line for a possible Paul vs. CM Punk matchup.
