Makhachev fans are so mad about anyone picking Oliveira to win. Like no one can have an opinion. It is comical. Talking about 'I will come back here after Islam wins and say I told you so'.

entry level pay was 60K flat. Reason why? Yearly average salary in the USA is that amount so if a fighter competes only once in a year, he/she can sustain a somewhat normal living. It is only fair for the toll they take on their bodies/minds.

Many may disagree but I believe Curtis Blaydes will be the heavyweight champion eventually. His skillset is the kryptonite for many of the top guys in the division. He is getting better, smarter, and more confident with every fight.

A source close to the situation has informed me that the contracts are signed. Max Holloway will defend his featherweight title against Alex Volkanovski at

It won’t be in front of a home crowd at UFC 243, but Australian Alex Volkanovski could still fight for Max Holloway’s featherweight belt before the year is out.
UFC 245 in Las Vegas is being discussed for that match-up, per a source.
