I've said it many times. Italian MMA is the worst it could possibly be, but by god those men make sensational beer.

Clan wars are hosting their first event in The Republic of Ireland since 2011 on Sunday.

The rare domestic pro bout headlines the card.

Good to remember the state of UFC's Heavyweight division is not Jon Jones fault.

Ngannou was able to leave the org.

Jones put on a masterclass in the vacant title fight.

UFC created an interim title fight 8 months later for PPV strength.

Dana White wants Jones-Miocic

This is McGregor's 15th fight in UFC.

He went a perfect 7-0 at Featherweight culminating in his defeat of Jose Aldo.

Currently holds a 1-3 record at Lightweight with his only win the masterclass at UFC 205.

A Welterweight record of 2-1 with Chandler awaiting.

The great times when MMA fighters had one discipline and one discipline only.

American wrestlers double legging their opponents & immediately being submitted via triangle were my favourite genre.

UFC 304 is shaping up to be an absolutely cracking card for the locals of Manchester.

Arnold Allen-Giga Chikadze
Muhammad Mokaev-Manel Kape
Nathaniel Wood-Daniel Pineda

Big contests on board already.

The dark side of regional MMA and the old art of record padding.

Undisclosed MMA managers reached out to one of Jorge Nojikoski's clients (I guess) asking if he's interested in purposely losing an MMA fighter for €4.5K.

Derrick Lewis will main event in the UFC for the #12 time in St. Louis this weekend.

That puts Lewis just outside the top 10 for most headliners with the promotion & in the company of some of the greatest fighters of all time.

What a list this is:

Derrick Lewis holds the record for most knockouts(14) in UFC history.

With Matt Brown retiring, Lewis is one of just 3 fighters on the roster to score 10+ KOs in The UFC.

Future hall of famers Dustin Poirier & Max Holloway round out the list.

Alex Caceres will reach a major milestone this weekend when he fights for a 30th time in UFC.

He becomes just the 14th fighter to reach the mark.

44-Miller
41-Arlovski
38-Cerrone
36-Guida
35-RDA
34-Stephens
33-Oliveira & Maia
32-Magny & Sanchez
30-Brown, Poirier & Edgar

Cork's Pa Lehane is the main event of Combate Global on May 18th.

I have seen no promotion for the bout. Standard.

A 20M gate of an arena filled with corporate & plastic fans out for a picture for their Instagram.

Long gone are the days of an Irish invasion in Vegas.

Rodrigo Nascimento headlines an arena event for the UFC this weekend.

4 wins in UFC with two being vs Don'Tale Mayes.

Split decision wins vs Ilir Latifi & Tanner Boser.

Knocked out R1 by Chris Daukaus.

6 month suspension for a failed test under USADA.

A low bar these days.

Love or hate him, MMA is infinitely better when Conor McGregor is actively competing.

There has never been a McGregor fight that did not entertain.

Jose Aldo UFC/WEC win % outside the USADA era: 100%(15-0)

Jose Aldo win % in the USADA era: 46%(6-7)

Next weekends UFC event(Lewis-Nascimento) has a huge number of tickets available as we enter fight week.

Tickets from $125. The Apex quality card is not attracting the local audience.

Jon Jones getting flagged by community notes is too funny.

The whole of Twitter is on the man's case.

Post UFC 301, there is just one(Ricky Simon) Bantamweight with an official fight announced.

The division is at a pivotal stage of match making with Merab Dvalishvili the clear challenger to Sean O'Malley.

Jose Aldo vs Henry Cejudo would be very fitting.

ESPN MMA That was the actual cut. Terrible stoppage. Your photo is showing the blood running down the shin, which makes it look worse than it was. No gracture just a few stitches
