Confirmed UFC title fights remaining in 2018:
Daniel Cormier vs. Derrick Lewis
Max Holloway vs. Brian Ortega
Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs. Valentina Shevchenko
Cris Cyborg vs. Amanda Nunes
Jon Jones vs. Alexander Gustafsson
That's 🔥
For those suggesting any sort of cut from bonuses should come my way, you can drop that. I of course could not and would not accept. Not only because it's unethical, but because these fighters deserve every dollar.
Max Holloway has been putting his health on the line for us in…
Just witnessed Kamaru Usman's daughter get carried out off the arena floor by one of his team as she bawled her eyes out. That was a sad sight.
#UFC278
OFFICIAL:
@BlessedMMA
has now fought the most fights in UFC history without EVER BEING KNOCKED DOWN. Total of 24 to his credit. Unreal chin, unreal fighter.
#UFCFightIsland7
The UFC’s seven current male champions have a COMBINED pro record of 146-7.
Stipe Miocic has 3 of those losses and one is Jon Jones’ questionable DQ.
This crop of champions probably the best we’ve ever see. Just one belt-holder has more than one MMA defeat.
.
@CubSwanson
deserves more appreciation as one of the great MMA ambassadors. Never missed weight, never failed a drug test, never had a controversy outside the octagon and always delivers inside of it. 👏
Dewey Cooper told me ringside after
#FuryNgannou
that Mauricio Sulaiman, president of WBC, told him Francis Ngannou will be ranked top 10 at heavyweight after tonight’s bout.

#MMAAwards
results: Kamaru Usman (
@USMAN84kg
) wins the “Fighter of the Year” award.
Coach Trevor Wittman accepts on his behalf. Usman is spending time with his family. 🙏
Tony Ferguson is 14-1 in the UFC after his win last night. That's absolutely ridiculous, especially when that list includes win over Pettis, Lee, dos Anjos, Barboza and more. What a monster.
For anyone who thought 2021 was going to be any less ridiculous than this year, Floyd Mayweather announces an exhibition boxing bout vs. Logan Paul for Feb. 20.
Francis Ngannou has stopped Junior Dos Santos, Cain Velasquez and Curtis Blaydes in less than 3 minutes total. Give that man another title shot right now.
#UFCMinneapolis
Dana White just told me he will match whatever money
@TeamKhabib
donates to
@DustinPoirier
's charity in the aftermath of
#UFC242
. Respectable gesture.
Jim Miller has NEVER missed weight in his UFC record 43 fights. One of the most impressive stats in MMA, given all the little things that can go haywire with a weight cut.
#UFCVegas84
Alexander Volkanovski joins Anderson Silva, Kamaru Usman, Khabib Nurmagomedov and Royce Gracie as the only fighters to start 10-0 in their UFC career.
#UFC266
Charles Oliveira tells me at UFC 280 media day that he wants to defend the 155-pound title vs. Alexander Volkanovski in January in Brazil – the challenge Volkanovski for the 145-pound belt in February in Australia.
He also says he WILL get PPV points for Saturday's event.
Dana White just confirmed to me at the post-fight press conference that Stipe Miocic vs. Francis Ngannou 2 is a done deal for the
#UFC260
main event on March 27.
OFFICIAL: Charles Oliveira has been stripped of the UFC lightweight championship. Belt will be vacant if he wins at
#UFC274
. Justin Gaethje will be lightweight champ if he wins.
Khamzat Chimaev has outlanded his opponents 112-1 in significant strikes and 254-2 to total strikes through four UFC appearances.
This man is a terror.
#UFC267
The UFC has parted ways with former champ Junior Dos Santos and longtime contender Alistair Overeem. The end of an era in the heavyweight division. Full story coming to .
For the first time in UFC history the company has handed out FIVE “Performance of the Night” awards: McGregor, Oleinik, Kelleher, Ferreira and Dober each get an extra $50k.
It’s true what they say: When
@TheNotoriousMMA
fights, all tides rise.
"With a yearly subscription fee of $99.99 in addition to 13 pay-per-view events at $74.99 each, the annual cost to consume the entire UFC schedule without any discounts applied is more than $1,000."
Dustin Poirier tells me Khabib Nurmagomedov sold his UFC 242 fight-worn shirt for $100k, which goes toward the goal of building water wells for a school and orphanage in Uganda. Incredible.
Dana White says at
#UFC297
post-fight presser that he had Strickland vs. Du Plessis tied at 2-2 going into Round 5, and thought Strickland won the final round.
BREAKING!
Dana White announces
#UFC302

Five-round co-main event is Sean Strickland vs. Paulo Costa.
#UFC303
on June 29 is headlined by Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler.
Dana White says Conor McGregor has REFUSED to press charges over tonight's incident. The 3 people arrested on Khabib's side have been released by police.
Justin Gaethje got “Fight of the Night” and “Performance of the Night” for

This man has NINE bonuses in SEVEN fights. Only fighter to get one in each of his first seven UFC bouts.

Dana White just expressed interest in Conor McGregor vs. Dustin Poirier and Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Tony Ferguson with the winners fighting each other.
Just got off the phone with

Masvidal will fight for his first UFC title in his 49th career bout, the most experience of anyone in history before getting a title shot.
Usman can tie Georges St-Pierre’s record for longest welterweight winning streak in history (12).
Massive stakes on July 11.

Reps from Dustin Poirier’s charity and Conor McGregor’s team both confirmed to me today that a $500,000 USD donation is in the process of being transferred from McGregor to Poirier’s

Promises made. Promises kept. Wholesome.
#UFC257
Anderson Silva tonight will become the first fighter in history to headline 20 different UFC cards. The circumstances are nuts, but that's an incredible achievement.
#UFC234
Donald Cerrone just got extremely emotional talking about his son at
#UFC274
media day. Said he can't wait to walk to the octagon and see him cageside on Saturday.
Just left Elias Theodorou’s public viewing outside of Toronto. A very emotional scene as you’d expect with family, friends and more paying their respects with an open casket. Hit hard.
#RIPEliasTheodorou
. This was his final message. ❤️🙏
Khabib Nurmagomedov says COVID-19 is behind his father’s heart complications and that more than 20 of his close relatives are sick or have passed away due to the coronavirus. Horrible. Thoughts are with the champ and his family. 🙏
.
@CharlesDoBronxs
vs.
@DustinPoirier
is a special title fight.
The
#UFC269
headliners combine for the most UFC fights, wins, finishes and bonuses ever a championship bout. 🤯
"I think this fight will happen. Just won't happen if he don't want to fight me."
Paulo Costa trying to put the onus on Marvin Vettori to fight while he sits up there 25 pounds overweight is something. Respectfully, take that trash elsewhere.
Dominick Reyes is handling this loss with the utmost class. I would be raging if I was him. Jones winning isn’t bogus, but a 49-46 scorecard for him is.
