Harry Kettle - March 10, 2025

UFC star Israel Adesanya has given his thoughts on what went down between Alex Pereira and Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 313. Last Saturday night, Alex Pereira failed to successfully defend his UFC light heavyweight championship for the fourth time. Instead, he was beaten by challenger Magomed Ankalaev in what proved to be a pretty competitive fight in Las Vegas. Alas, when it was all said and done, ‘Poatan’ was left without the belt that he’d worked so hard to keep.

Paddy Pimblett would want to fight Conor McGregor first after winning UFC title

Harry Kettle - March 10, 2025

UFC star Paddy Pimblett has laid out a plan that involves him going up against Conor McGregor at some point in the future. As we know, Paddy Pimblett is a pretty eccentric figure. He is one of the biggest names in all of mixed martial arts, and while some people may not like it, the Liverpudlian is currently unbeaten in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. At UFC 314, however, he’ll face his toughest test to date when he locks horns with Michael Chandler in a blockbuster lightweight collision.

Dana White wouldn’t be surprised if Justin Gaethje earns another shot at the UFC Lightweight Championship. Gaethje was featured in the co-main event of UFC 313 this past Saturday night. While “The Highlight” was preparing to slug it out with Dan Hooker, a hand injury forced “The Hangman” off the card. Taking his place was Rafael Fiziev, a man Gaethje was familiar with. Gaethje defeated Fiziev in their first encounter via majority decision back in 2023.

Tom Aspinall has reacted to Alex Pereira’s UFC 313 loss. As UFC 313 approached, many were wondering if UFC Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones would forgo a title unification bout against interim titleholder Tom Aspinall in favor of a showdown with “Poatan.” Pereira ended up losing the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship to Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 313, putting a halt to that idea.
