Lyman Good knows his UFC 244 fight is crucial after his last loss. Good had a chance to become a ranked welterweight in his last fight when he took on Demian Maia who was coming off three straight losses. Yet, the fight did not go as planned as he was submitted in the first round and never looked normal in the fight. Well, it turns out he had a major injury and that is why he will return to the Octagon nine months later.

Masvidal came out and said he wanted to be entertained so he got coach Mike Brown to go into the crowd and find the toughest guys to box each other. But, to make it safe, “Gamebred” only allowed body shots and was on the mic shouting and screaming when something happened.

It’s cold in Norway this time of year, and the sun seems to set earlier every day. As the temperature drops and the days darken, Norwegian welterweight Emil Meek is feeling the urge to leave. Not forever, just for long enough to send a worthy adversary to Valhalla — and maybe get a bit of sun. “I need to travel somewhere,” Meek told BJPENN.com on Tuesday. “I can’t handle all this darkness.”

Former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor recently announced that he intends to return to the UFC’s Octagon on January 18. “I would like to announce to the public the return of Conor McGregor will take place on January 18th in the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada,” McGregor said at a press conference in Moscow, Russia. “So that is my comeback fight. It is 12 weeks this Saturday. I’m in prime physical condition. I’ve agreed the date with the company. As far as the opponent, I have the opponent’s name but for me, the game I am in and from experience if I was to give you people the name, which I would love to do, I know the UFC would flip it because they are a crafty company. So for me here’s this one, ask the UFC who the opponent is because I do not give a f*ck who the opponent is.”
