Alexandre Pantoja will be drawn from Jose Aldo’s celebration book if he defends his title against Steve Arseg at UFC 301. Pantoja will put the flyweight strap on the line against Erceg in Saturday’s main event at the Farmasi Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In an ideal scenario, Pantoja would hope to knock out Erceg and storm into his home crowd, much like Aldo did with his win over Chad Mendes at UFC 142 in 2012. Aldo’s knee kick with one second left in the first round as he ran into the crowd after knocking out Mendes at the…

Charles Oliveira remains interested in fighting Conor McGregor if the Irishman wins his return fight against Michael Chandler. McGregor will return after a nearly three-year hiatus in a welterweight matchup against Chandler in the main event of UFC 303 on June 29th. Given that McGregor is 1-3 in his last four fights and “Iron” is 2-3 in the Ultimate Fighting Championship — and both have been relatively inactive — Oliveira is a good candidate for this matchup. I don’t think it has much to do with the title. However, the former champion admits that given the Irishman’s star power, a…

The cause of death is currently unknown. Ngannou issued a statement on social media that appeared to address the tragedy.”If what we fight so hard to escape is ultimately what hurts us the most, then what is the purpose of life?
