Paul Hughes responds to Josh Thomson's recent criticism of the PFL: "It's become a trend to hate on them"

Josh Evanoff - March 14, 2025

PFL lightweight contender Paul Hughes has responded to Josh Thomson’s recent comments. It’s not exactly a secret that the PFL is in a bit of a strange spot at the moment. The Donn Davis-led promotion famously bought Bellator in late 2023, signaling a big move for the company. However, their 2024 offering was a bit of a mixed bag. While names such as Dakota Ditcheva continued to rise, many, many fighters were unhappy. Names such as Patricio Pitbull, Gegard Mousasi, Austin Vanderford and more, all requested and were granted their releases.

For his part, ‘Platinum’ hasn’t been in action since his knockout loss to Jake Paul in the boxing ring last July.

Jason 'Mayhem' Miller offers health update on former rival Nick Diaz: "He's getting it together"

Josh Evanoff - March 14, 2025

Jason ‘Mayhem’ Miller has provided a promising update on his former UFC rival Nick Diaz. The former Strikeforce and WEC champion had a rough 2024. Nick Diaz was famously set to end a three-year layoff against Vicente Luque last summer in Abu Dhabi. However, the welterweight withdrew due to unknown reasons, and the bout was rebooked for UFC 310 in December. Sadly, the fight was again canceled. However, this cancellation was far more troubling.
