Bellator president Scott Coker has given his thoughts on some of the remarks made recently by UFC president Dana White. Last weekend, Bellator 300 took place as the promotion celebrated a landmark event with a parade of high-profile fights. However, while it was a great evening for the company and Scott Coker, we still saw plenty of questions being asked about their immediate future. It’s been reported for a while now that Bellator could be on the verge of being sold, with PFL supposedly being one of the frontrunners in that race.

UFC fighter Joe Pyfer has admitted that he wasn’t happy with his overall performance at UFC Vegas 80. Ever since earning a contract on Dana White’s Contender Series, Joe Pyfer has been making a real name for himself. He’s unbeaten inside the Octagon and in his outing last weekend, he went head to head with Abdul Razak Alhassan in what was a pretty intriguing bout on paper. The two traded blows back and forth but eventually, Pyfer secured the win, and he did so with a nasty arm triangle choke in the second round.

The official main card lineup has been released for UFC 294 later this month, with the main event being Islam Makhachev vs Charles Oliveira 2. Later this month, the Ultimate Fighting Championship will be making its return to Abu Dhabi. For the second straight year, the man event will see Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev clash for the UFC lightweight title. This time around, though, it will be Makhachev who is defending after he was able to beat ‘Do Bronx’ for the strap twelve months ago. Since then, both men have won one contest – against Alexander Volkanovski and Beneil Dariush respectively.

When Bryce Mitchell isn’t swinging leather inside the Octagon, he’s choking a deer to death it appears. Mitchell has made waves in the UFC, and it’s not solely because of his MMA skills. The top 10-ranked UFC featherweight also has quite the personality. Mitchell is proud to explore the outdoors and go hunting. This latest story in the adventures of Mitchell, however, is quite a doozy.

UFC CEO Dana White has put an end to the flag ban. Fight fans were surprised when Joe Pyfer was draped in the American flag following his second-round submission victory over Abdul Razak Alhassan at UFC Vegas 80. There had been a UFC policy in place banning flags inside the Octagon. This was in response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.

The Octagon remained in Nevada for tonight’s UFC Vegas 79 event, an eleven-bout fight card headlined by Grant Dawson vs. Bobby Green. The highly anticipated lightweight main event proved to be a short-lived affair. Bobby Green connected with a straight left early in the opening round which sent Grant Dawson crashing to the Octagon canvas. From there, ‘King’ proceeded to unload some heavy ground and pound which forced the referee to step in and stop the contest.

The next event for Jorge Masvidal’s Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA promotion will feature no fewer than 12 former UFC fighters. While he may no longer be part of the UFC roster, Jorge Masvidal certainly knows his stuff when it comes to bringing in recognizable names for his events. ‘Gamebred’ has been in the promoter game for a while now and in that time, he’s had a few really enjoyable events. As we look ahead to the future, it certainly seems as if that’s going to be his primary focus with regard to what he’ll spend most of his time doing.

Bobby Green has once again accused Russian fighters in the UFC of getting away with cheating. If there’s one thing we know to be true about Bobby Green, it’s that he is outspoken. If he has something on his mind, there’s an excellent chance he’s going to say it – and he doesn’t particularly care who he upsets along the way. Green is the sort of fighter that fans adore and this weekend, he’ll get the chance to prove why all over again when he locks horns with Grant Dawson.

Justin Gaethje is reportedly being lined up next for Islam Makhachev if the latter is able to get past Charles Oliveira again. This year has been a pretty good one for Justin Gaethje, to put it lightly. ‘The Highlight’ has beaten Rafael Fiziev and Dustin Poirier, and in the latter of those two wins, he won via knockout to claim the BMF title. Gaethje has always been an action fighter and someone who is willing to risk it all, but on the two occasions he’s fought for the UFC lightweight championship, he’s come up short against Khabib Nurmagomedov and Charles Oliveira.

Ricky Glenn is going back to his roots for his UFC Vegas 80 fight against Drew Dober. Glenn is coming off a first-round knockout loss to Christos Giagos earlier this year, which was a tough pill to swallow. It was his first fight in a year-and-a-half and immediately after the loss, Glenn wanted to get the bad taste out of his mouth.

Jones is set to defend his heavyweight title for the first time when he takes on the former champ Miocic in the main event of UFC 295 from Madison Square Garden on Nov. 11.
