That said, we understand and respect the UFC's responsibility to protect the integrity of the sport. In today's environment, particularly with the growth of regulated sports betting and heightened scrutiny across professional sports, these matters have to be taken seriously. We appreciate the open communication from the UFC throughout the process and our focus now is working with them to have Michael rebooked as soon as possible.

The UFC has announced a new post-fight bonus structure starting with UFC 324, with Fight of the Night and Performance of the Night bonuses now coming in at $100,000 U.S. That's double the previous standard of $50,000, which was occasionally boosted for major events like UFC 300. On UFC 324, the first card of the Paramount+ era, kicking off a broadcast deal that helped usher in those new bonuses? It was headliners Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett walking away with Fight of the Night.

"He'd be crazy not to know that I'm one of the most dangerous guys he's ever fought," warned the American. "I want to turn his face into mincemeat. I've done it to higher calibre fighters."

It's a very good question. He could be either or. We're just going to have to see how the fight plays out. Obviously Trevor Wittman is a fantastic coach, he's going to have a fantastic game plan. But I know my game plan will be better, I know it will work better. And I know that I will be able to put my game plan to good effect, and I'll beat him up.

"I ain't gonna lie to you, I'm in the best shape of my life right now," Lewis said on "The Beast and the Cowboy" pocast. "Mentally, physically, everything's going great right now. The UFC provided me with some great peptides, and I've been taking it every day, and I've been feeling the difference."

"The only thing the UFC told me is that I'm next for the belt," Dvalishvili told Bet25. "They said there will be a trilogy between me and Yan, and they also told me that our fight will not happen at the White House on Trump's birthday in June. Because [Yan] is Russian and that's impossible."

I look at it as in like, legit, since I was born, because I was born with the brain disease, from football, to wrestling, to karate, to trotting track, to drinking, to partying, to any sort of relationships I've had - anytime my blood pressure goes up, that's another opportunity where I could risk having a stroke. I could risk having a seizure.

The UFC's own private venue in Las Vegas was originally designed to house The Ultimate Fighter, Dana White's Contender Series, and perhaps host some regional MMA shows. However, during the coronavirus pandemic, it became a godsend, allowing the promotion to continue hosting events in the face of a global shutdown, capturing the sports market at a time when all other leagues were on a pause.

Kayla Harrison's long-awaited showdown with Amanda Nunes is off.

Lancaster, Texas, January 9, 2026 - FreshRealm, the fresh foods platform, today announced UFC Ignite, a first-of-its-kind, sports-affiliated meal plan created in collaboration with UFC, the world's premier mixed martial arts organization.

France has delayed this year's Group of 7 summit by one day to avoid a scheduling conflict with an Ultimate Fighting Championship fight card planned at the White House on 14 June, according to two officials with direct knowledge of the G7's preparations. The summit, hosted by France in the Alpine resort town of Evian-les-Bains, was originally scheduled for 14 to 16 June, a date that coincides with US Flag Day and US president Donald Trump's 80th birthday.

That was Steven Asplund versus Sean Sharaf, which saw Asplund making his UFC debut after winning on the Contender Series earlier this year. While it wasn't always pretty in a technical sense, it was violent, bloody, and all action. A jab from Asplund in the opening round opened up a nasty cut on Sharaf, but a well-placed one in a sense: right between the eyes, bloody but not completely obscuring his vision, and not bad enough for the cageside physician to stop the bout.

First reported by David Van Auken. The last-minute cancellation is a tough blow for Robertson, who stood to gain significantly from a win over Lemos, a former title challenger. Robertson, typically one of the division's most active competitors, with three fights and a grappling match in 2024, will now finish 2025 having competed only once. She'll have to wait until 2026 to rebuild momentum and continue her push toward a title opportunity.

Set to take place on February 7, 2026 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, the card will be headlined by bantamweights Mario Bautista (16-3) and Vinicius Oliveira (22-3). Ag.Fight was first to report news of the booking, with Brazil's "Lok Dog" Oliveira confirming the pairing on social media. Bautista sits at #9 in the UFC's official bantamweight rankings, while Oliveira comes in at #12.

At the Kennedy Center Honors this month, Trump told reporters that eight or nine championship fights would be held outside the White House in June of next year. The biggest fights they've ever had, he said. Every one is a championship fight. And every one's a legendary type of fight. He claimed an arena that can hold 5,000 to 6,000 people will be built outside the White House, and UFC head Dana White is holding back on certain events to have them be part of the celebration.

Guskov would connect with one of his own, notably with far less behind it. A Guskov punch sent Blachowicz backpedaling however. Not to be outdone, Blachowicz sent Gustkov reeling off a left hand of his own. In the final minute, a little two-punch combo, right-left, sent Guskov retreating again. He would bounce back, however, firing off a combination of his own; Blachowicz would add another leg kick prior to the horn.

The first round began with Orolbai looking to come out on the aggressive. Jack bounced up and down moving in and out of range while threatening a jab. Hermansson threw multiple kicks to the body and head, but Orolbai was the one dictating where the fight went. Hermansson defended a takedown circling away to other side of the cage. Orolbai landed a big right hand walking down Hermansson as he shelled up against the fence.

I'm like this guy got this, this guy got that and this is why. The conversation's over, and I'm starting to leave, and he grabs me by my shirt and pushes me back in my office and I said 'dude, get your f*cking hands off me.' I could see in this guy's face and in his eyes and the way he's acting who this guy really f*cking is.
