UFC 296 Review – Has It All Gone Too Far?

UFC 296 has come and gone, and it’s fair to say that it was an event that lived up to expectations. Whilst many were disappointed with the main event (we will be coming back to the two participants in a little bit), the card as a whole was little short of brilliant. Cody Garbandt showed shades of 2017 with a walk-off knockout over Brian Kelleher. Ariane Lipski put on a performance-bonus winning show with a […]

EXCLUSIVE: Jorge Masvidal Bets $100k on “The Diamond” at UFC 291

UFC 291 is here! And it is arguably the best card of the year to date.

A moment that signified the end of one of the best careers in the history of combat sports. This is a […]
