Over the last few months, the age-old boxing vs. UFC debate has reached a fever pitch, as a handful of stars from the two sports have called each other out. Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor are chomping at the bit to fight each other. Roy Jones Jr. and Anderson Silva seem down to go at it in the boxing ring. UFC light heavyweight Jimi Manuwa recently called out boxing star David Haye. The list goes on.

Stephen Thompson is coming off knee surgery but is already looking ahead for what will be his next challenge in the Octagon. Thompson recently spoke with BJPenn.com’s Chris Taylor and gave an update on his plans for his next fight. “Wonderboy” mentioned that either Carlos Condit or Robbie Lawler are the two fighters that he is hoping to book for his next competition in hopes of earning his way to another shot at the UFC welterweight title.

UFC President Dana White has his finger on the pulse for what is happening with his biggest stars in the UFC, which include Nick and Nate Diaz.

Former UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos recently announced his move to the welterweight division in the midst of a 2-fight skid at lightweight which saw him lose the lightweight title to Eddie Alvarez in the summer of 2016 before then dropping a unanimous decision to Tony Ferguson in a fight which likely could have fast-tracked him to a rematch for the UFC lightweight title. Following his second straight loss, Dos Anjos revealed that he would be making the jump from 155 to 170 due to the fact that making the cut to 155 was no longer worth it financially after he lost his title.

Anderson Silva’s narrow UFC 208 defeat of Derek Brunson marked his first win since an October 2012 defeat of Stephan Bonnar. This win served to keep his status as a top-flight middleweight alive. It also set him up for more big fights in the ever competitive UFC middleweight division. Silva seems to have two opponents in mind to that end. The first is Stockton, California’s Nick Diaz, who has not fought since 2015, when he lost a decision to Silva in a fight that was ruled a no-contest after he tested positive for marijuana metabolites and Silva tested positive for several more significant banned substances. The other is England’s Michael Bisping, who currently holds the UFC middleweight title and is scheduled to defend that title against returning welterweight great Georges St-Pierre later this year. Back in 2016, Silva and Bisping battled for five frenzied rounds, with Bisping ultimately walking away with a controversial decision win.

After months of contract negotiations, former UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre is finally poised for a comeback. He will not, however, be returning to the welterweight division he once ruled so dominantly. Instead, he will challenge Michael Bisping for the UFC middleweight title at a to-be-determined date and location, probably sometime in the second half of this year. Given the way that St-Pierre’s title shot deprives legitimate middleweight title contenders like Yoel Romero and Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza of the shots they’ve earned, this booking was an immediately controversial one. Yet Georges St-Pierre is one of the biggest stars in MMA history, so it’s understandable why the UFC gave him the fight he asked for.

Nate Diaz has stayed true to himself since day one. Even with making the most money of his career in his last two fights that were some of the most successful pay-per-view events in UFC history with Conor McGregor, you won’t see the Stockton scrapper wearing any new tailored suits.

In just over one week, fight fans will tune in to a highly anticipated pay-per view event which will be headlined by a welterweight title fight between Tyron Woodley and Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson. In addition, in the co-main event, streaking lightweight contenders Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson will step into the Octagon to fight for the interim lightweight title, with the winner moving on to fight Conor McGregor for the interim lightweight title.

Last month, on the main card of the UFC’s latest trip to Denver, Colorado, Jorge Masvidal dazzled with a second round knockout of the streaking Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone. With this emphatic win, Masvidal catapulted himself up the welterweight rankings, where fights with the division’s top dogs now await. He has been mentioned as a possible opponent for dangerous grappling specialist Demian Maia. He’s been discussed as an opponent for Neil Magny. He’s even been mentioned as a potential dance partner for Georges St-Pierre’s return. Perhaps the most intriguing of all Masvidal’s options, however, is a fight with Stockton’s Nick Diaz.

2016 was a big year for UFC superstar Conor McGregor. McGregor entered the year fresh off a win over Jose Aldo at UFC 194 to claim the UFC featherweight championship. To kick off 2016, McGregor was slated to move up in weight at UFC 196 to take on Rafael dos Anjos for the UFC lightweight title. Unfortunately, dos Anjos pulled out of the fight just two weeks before. Ultimately, the UFC selected Nate Diaz as a late fill-in opponent for McGregor. Come March 5th, Diaz shocked the world as he rocked and then submitted the Irish superstar in just the second round.
