Sean Strickland has launched an unprovoked verbal attack on Tom Aspinall, questioning the legitimacy of the champion’s recent no-contest and accusing him of “taking the way out”. Speaking during a livestream with internet personality Adin Ross, Strickland turned his attention from sparring antics to Aspinall, who has faced criticism since his October no-contest with Ciryl Gane at UFC 321. The bout was stopped after a double eye poke left Aspinall unable to continue, despite medical reports later confirming serious injury. Strickland was unconvinced. “Aspinall sucks, dude,” he said, before adding: “No, he took the way out. 100 percent.” He compared…
Arman Tsarukyan ended the year with a championship win, though not the UFC belt he has been chasing. The Armenian lightweight captured the ACBJJ All-Star Title in Moscow after submitting Mehdi Baydulaev with a rear-naked choke in the final seconds of their 10-minute bout. The grappling match was briefly thrown into chaos when Tsarukyan instinctively threw a knee during a clinch exchange, an illegal move under BJJ rules. Baydulaev responded with a kick, prompting officials to step in. After a short stoppage, the bout was allowed to continue, and Tsarukyan secured the late submission to claim the title. Tsarukyan has…

Anderson Silva has spoken out in defence of Dana White, despite acknowledging their relationship during his UFC career was often difficult. The former UFC middleweight champion, who fights Tyron Woodley on the Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua undercard in Miami on Friday, addressed recent criticism aimed at White following his move into boxing with TKO Boxing. White launched the new promotion earlier this year, staging its first event in September, but has faced backlash for operating outside the Muhammad Ali Act. Speaking ahead of his fight, Silva said the criticism ignored White’s business mindset. “A lot of people talk bad…
One of the most controversial moments of Anthony Joshua’s career unfolded after his heavyweight title rematch loss to Oleksandr Usyk in 2022. Following a narrow split-decision defeat, a visibly furious Joshua grabbed two of Usyk’s championship belts and hurled them out of the ring before squaring up to members of the Ukrainian’s team, needing to be restrained by officials. Joshua then stormed out of the ring, confronting people at ringside, before later returning after calming down. He subsequently delivered a rambling, emotional speech on the microphone that quickly went viral, marking a dramatic end to the fight. The incident followed…
Ilia Topuria has signalled an end to his long-running personal feud with Paddy Pimblett, saying their rivalry has evolved into a purely professional one as the pair move closer to a likely clash in 2026. The UFC lightweight champion famously clashed with Pimblett in a hotel confrontation three years ago, sparking a bitter war of words that played out across interviews, press conferences and social media. But Topuria says Pimblett’s recent show of support has shifted his perspective. With Topuria taking a break from MMA to deal with family matters, Pimblett has been booked to face Justin Gaethje for the…
Deontay Wilder has offered rare praise for Jake Paul, saying the YouTuber-turned-boxer shares his willingness to face opponents far bigger than himself ahead of Paul’s fight with Anthony Joshua. Speaking at the IBA Boxing World Championships, the former heavyweight champion said he respects Paul for stepping into the ring with Joshua, who is expected to outweigh him by more than 40lb on fight night. Wilder, who has often competed giving up significant size advantages, believes only he and Paul have taken such risks at heavyweight. “The only person I know that has done what Jake Paul is trying to do…
Ten years ago, Chris Weidman lost the UFC middleweight title in dramatic fashion after a single decision inside the Octagon backfired – and he later admitted he had no regrets. At UFC 194 in Las Vegas, best remembered for Conor McGregor’s 13-second knockout of José Aldo, the co-main event saw Weidman attempt a fourth defence of his middleweight belt against Luke Rockhold. During a competitive fight, Weidman threw a wheel kick that Rockhold ducked under, taking the champion down and unleashing a barrage of ground-and-pound to secure a stoppage victory. Speaking on The MMA Hour the following month, Weidman said…
Deontay Wilder has said he would welcome a fight with veteran heavyweight Derek Chisora after the pair were involved in a tense face-off during a recent boxing event in Dubai. Wilder, who has lost four of his last six bouts and is preparing for a possible title challenge against Oleksandr Usyk in 2026, suggested Chisora could serve as a warm-up opponent. The two came face to face at the IBA Men’s Elite World Championships, where a light-hearted exchange escalated as Chisora grabbed Wilder before security intervened. “That might be my warm-up fight,” Wilder said. “We were supposed to fight years…
