It’s been a long seven months for Jose Aldo, considered by most as the greatest featherweight the sport has ever seen.

It goes without saying that UFC 200 is a monster of a card, easily the biggest event that the Las Vegas-based MMA giant has ever unleashed to the bloodthirsty, fight-loving public.

To say it’s been a long, arduous journey for Eddie Alvarez would be an understatement.

International Fight Week will continue Friday night with “The Ultimate Fighter 23” Finale, which will go down inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

The season finale for “The Ultimate Fighter 23” will commence Friday night, smack dab in the middle of trilogy of UFC events in Las Vegas.

On Thursday, subscribers to UFC Fight Pass will be treated to an entire event as UFC Fight Night “Dos Anjos vs. Alvarez”will invade fight fans’ computers and tablets for roughly six hours.

Florida-based MMA promotion Titan Fighting Championship will head to Coral Gables, Fla., on Aug. 5 for its next event, which will take place inside the Bank United Center. Headlining Titan FC 40 will be newly-crowned lightweight champion Gesias Cavalcante defending his belt against Freddy Assuncao.

It’s no secret that Jon Jones isn’t the biggest fan of Daniel Cormier, or vice-versa.

The last time the fight world saw Bristol Marunde in action, it was in the main event of RFA 31 in downtown Las Vegas last October.

Legacy Fighting Championship returns on Friday with another edition of MMA action. Legacy FC 57 will be held at Diamond Jack’s Casino in Bossier City, La., and will be televised live on AXS TV starting at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.
