Harry Kettle - December 15, 2025

UFC veteran King Green will continue to fight his own style following his recent victory over Lance Gibson Jr. Last Saturday night, King Green was able to defeat Lance Gibson Jr on short notice to break his recent two-fight losing streak. In doing so, the 39-year-old proved to all his critics that he is far from done in mixed martial arts, and that he wants to continue to go out there and put on a show for the fans.

Fernando Quiles Jr. - December 14, 2025

Joaquin Buckley offers wild challenge to UFC champion Khamzat Chimaev

Fernando Quiles Jr. - December 14, 2025

Joaquin Buckley has a rather interesting offer for UFC Middleweight Champion Khamzat Chimaev. Buckley is a welterweight contender who has made it clear that he’s not a fan of all the wrestling in MMA. Perhaps that has to do with his unanimous decision loss to former UFC titleholder Kamaru Usman back in June. Buckley had no answer for “The Nigerian Nightmare’s” grappling.

Fernando Quiles Jr. - December 14, 2025

It’s a new era for UFC, as the top MMA promotion ditches pay-per-view.

UFC Vegas 112 Bonus Report: Kevin Vallejos one of four 'POTN' winners

Chris Taylor - December 13, 2025

The Octagon returned to the Apex for tonight’s UFC Vegas 112 event, and four fighters wound up taking home performance bonuses. This evening’s fight card was headlined by a key men’s flyweight matchup featuring Brandon Royval taking on Manel Kape. The contest proved to be a coming out part for the Angolan-born Portuguese fighter in Manel Kape. After a competitive opening couple of minutes, ‘Starboy’ found a home for a big right hand that sent Brandon Royval crashing down to the canvas. Kape quickly followed up with some heavy ground and pound shots, which forced the referee to jump in and stop the onslaught. It was an impressive victory for Manel, and one that could lead to a title shot in his next Octagon appearance.
