No, it’s not that lightweight fight, but UFC 219 has got a 155-pound contest on the card.

They say you can’t go home again but that appears to be what Japanese MMA legend Takanori Gomi is trying to do.

Prior to his UFC Fight Night 118 headliner against Darren Till, Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone was already talking up the fact he was tentatively penciled in already for a bout at UFC 219 on Dec. 30. Those optimistic plans have taken a hit.

To no one’s surprise, Will Brooks and Nik Lentz have been officially rebooked against one another for UFC Fight Night 121.

Given the tenuous nature of retirements in mixed martial arts, it’s hard to say if Ben Askren‘s next fight will truly be his last but if it is, the “Funky” one will close out his fighting career against a Japanese legend.

It wasn’t exactly Conor McGregor in Croke Park but as is the promotion’s trademark, Poland’s Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki certainly brought sheer spectacle to Dublin, Ireland’s 3Arena on Sunday with KSW 40.

Darren Till believes he is following the blueprint of the biggest UFC star of all.

Conor McGregor wasn’t hard to find during SBG Ireland teammate Artem Lobov’s bout at UFC Fight Night 118 on Saturday, but his presence might have actually been more beneficial to Lobov’s opponent.

A rise to stardom certainly has its financial perks, as Darren Till learned following his first-round finish of Donald Cerrone in the UFC Fight Night 118 main event.

Darren Till blasts through Donald Cerrone to improve to 16-0-1 in the UFC Fight Night 118 “Cerrone vs. Till” headliner on Saturday in Poland.
