Stipe Miocic was in a bit of a hurry to leave Las Vegas on Saturday night.

Brock Lesnar hasn’t officially won a fight since July 2010, but after Saturday night’s confrontation with Daniel Cormier it’s pretty clear who the next heavyweight title challenger will be.

The combatants in Saturday’s heavyweight superfight at UFC 226 were also the event’s top earners.

During a night of outstanding action, there was one perplexingly bad fight on the UFC 226 card.

Whether you consider it to be legitimate beef or choreographed animosity straight from the sports entertainment playbook, there’s no doubt that the Octagon confrontation between Daniel Cormier and Brock Lesnar had the MMA world buzzing on Saturday night.

Four fighters at UFC 226 received “Performance of the Night” checks, as Daniel Cormier, Anthony Pettis, Khalil Rountree and Paulo Henrique Costa took home $50,000 apiece for their efforts at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

Robert Whittaker and Kelvin Gastelum will be coaching rivals on Season 28 of “The Ultimate Fighter” before squaring off in a middleweight championship bout later this year.

Friday night was Israel Adesanya’s coming out party as a talent to watch in the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s middleweight division.

Something wasn’t right with Max Holloway this week, and Michael Bisping noticed it before the featherweight champion pulled out of UFC 226.

Max Holloway can’t seem to catch a break.
