Fernando Quiles Jr. - August 3, 2025
A 155-pound slugger won’t deny that other fighters are avoiding Arman Tsarukyan, but he feels the reasoning is valid. Tsarukyan is currently the No. 2-ranked UFC lightweight.

Josh Thomson voices concern over Nate Diaz's possible UFC return
Harry Kettle - August 1, 2025
MMA analyst Josh Thomson has voiced his concern over the potential UFC return of his former rival Nate Diaz. As we know, Nate Diaz is pretty unpredictable at the best of times. He likes to keep the masses on their toes and given his stature in the world of combat sports, we’d say he’s earned the right to do so.
