MIAMI – Jorge Masvidal and his friends are confidently taking on a challenge that is both new and familiar. Paulino Hernandez, Masvidal’s longtime striking coach, is adamant that Masvidal will shine in his return to boxing when he faces Nate Diaz in a 10-round boxing match on June 1 at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, Calif. I believe. This will be Masvidal’s first professional boxing match since his debut in 2005. This will also be the second time Masvidal and Diaz have faced each other, having previously fought in MMA at UFC 244 in 2019, where Masvidal won by TKO…
The historic UFC 300: Pereira vs. Hill is over and dusted. Ahead of the highly anticipated showdown, which will be broadcast live from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on April 13, Dana White promised “the best card ever put together.” In the main event, Alex Pereira defeated Jamahal Hill by KO to retain the light heavyweight title. In the co-main event, Weili Zhang defended her strawweight belt by decision against Yang Xiaonan. Additionally, Max Holloway won the “BMF” strap with a devastating KO win over Justin Gaethje. The event also featured a number of top-level bouts with some of the…
Pedro Carvalho is far from satisfied with how his PFL debut went. The Bellator veteran suffered a first-round TKO loss to Brendan Loughnane in the co-main event of the 2024 PFL 3 event on Friday. Carvalho (13-9) was hurt early by Loughnane (28-5) but fought back. In the final sequence, Loughnane took a shot on a downed Carvalho, and as Carvalho looked for a takedown, referee Kevin McDonald waved to stop the fight. Carvalho immediately stood up and protested this call. SBG Ireland Products was upset by the call and said McDonald’s had admitted it had made the wrong call.…

Jamahal Hill has opened up about what happened in the main event of UFC 300 vs. Alex Pereira. The former UFC champion’s bid to regain light heavyweight gold came to an abrupt end at 3:14 of round one when Pereira (10-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) left hook and follow-up punch. Most online praised the ending, but some later criticized the moment. Hill (12-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) clipped Pereira along the cup with a kick, prompting referee Herb Dean to intervene and pause the bout. Pereira calmly called Dean out, as if to tell him he could continue and didn’t want to…
The fourth and final stop on the Nate Diaz vs. Jorge Masvidal press tour didn’t end in a way that could be described as “amicable.” The old rivals exchanged words at the Novo Theater in Los Angeles as they wrapped up “The Baddest Tour.” The two will compete on Saturday, June 1st at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California. The scheduled 10-round light heavyweight boxing match will be the second meeting between the former UFC title challengers. Masvidal won his first MMA fight by TKO at UFC 244 in New York in November 2019, earning him the BMF belt. The…
Dana White is so happy with the success of his monumental UFC 300 pay-per-view (PPV) card that took place in Las Vegas, Nevada this past weekend that the UFC CEO has officially given it to all of us. I’m rubbing it. On paper, UFC 300 has the most stacked fight card in the promotion’s history. There were two real title fights, a “BMF” title fight, and a total of 12 current or former UFC champions. There were no injuries or fight cancellations, and all the fighters on the card successfully made weight. It was truly a once in a lifetime…
CHICAGO – It didn’t take a stoppage, but Goity Yamauchi’s PFL debut win was everything he could have hoped for. A longtime Bellator contestant, Yamauchi made his PFL debut this Friday, defeating Neiman Gracie in a rematch as part of the 2024 PFL3 welterweight season opener. Yamauchi (29-6) defeated Gracie (12-5). The unanimous decision earned them three points this season. While some might see victory as not the best scenario, given that Yamauchi would have been awarded additional points if he completed the race, it was perfect for Yamauchi. “Oh, I’m really glad to be back,” Yamauchi said in the…
Gegard Mousasi and his team feel they are not a priority for the PFL. Former champion Mousasi has not been booked for a fight since the promotion acquired Bellator. His last appearance was 11 months ago, which added to his frustration. PFL president Ray Sefo said Mousasi had been offered at least one fight, but it was unclear when communication broke down between the two sides. However, Mousasi turned down the fight because the fighter and his team did not consider it a “real offer” as it was at a higher weight class at the time of his six weeks’…
