Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) middleweight Jack Marshman is making his way back to combat sports — but “The Hammer” won’t be competing in mixed martial arts (MMA). Instead, Marshman will be ditching his gloves after signing a multi-fight contract with BYB Extreme Bare Knuckle Fighting Series.

“The addition of Marshman is just a small sign of things to come. We are only getting bigger, badder and better,” said BYB’s European Director of Operations and former BKB co-founder, Jim Freeman. “I’m ecstatic about the opportunity to work with Greg [Bloom] and the [BYB] team to continue to grow BYB and the sport of bare knuckle across the globe.”

Freeman and his team from BKB merged with BYB Extreme earlier this month. Expect “The Hammer” to make his debut for the bare knuckle promotion at some point this summer.

Marshman, 34, compiled a 23-10 record in MMA, also competing for Cage Warriors Fighting Championship and BAMMA across the pond. The Welsh slugger was last seen dropping a unanimous decision to Sean Strickland at UFC Vegas 12.

BYB Extreme returns on June 14 with “Brawl in Duval” in Jacksonville, Florida.

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury will collide with WBA, IBF, and WBO titleholder Oleksandr Usyk atop the “Ring of Fire” pay-per-view (PPV) boxing event this Sat. night (May 18, 2024) in Saudi Arabia, and both combatants are scheduled to appear at today’s final press conference in Riyadh.

The LIVE stream gets underway at 2 p.m. ET in the embedded video above.

“It feels absolutely fantastic to be in the great Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, I’m feeling fantastic,” Fury said during this week’s Grand Arrivals (watch them here). “I can’t wait to put a good show on. There’s so many people coming. It’s such an event. All the big stars are here. It’s going to be epic. I can’t wait for Saturday night.”

Fury insists this is the most important fight of his career.

“If I was fighting an old dosser on Saturday night who had five fights and lost them all, it would be very important to me,” Fury continued. “Every fight I’ve ever had is important to me. Every little fight along the way was important to me. I believe that every left and right turn I’ve ever taken in my life, every time I’ve fallen over, and every time I’ve climbed up was all leading to this moment. It’s destiny.”

UFC 304 will be topped by Leon Edwards vs. Belal Muhammad for the welterweight title, along with Tom Aspinall vs. Curtis Blaydes for the interim heavyweight strap (details here).

I guess he does “want that” after all.

Lightweight sensation Paddy Pimblett will look to break into the division Top 15 when he battles ranked veteran Bobby Green as part of the upcoming UFC 304 pay-per-view (PPV) event, scheduled for Sat., July 27, 2024 at Co-op Live in Manchester, England.

UFC CEO Dana White announced the booking earlier today on social media.

Pimblett (21-3) is undefeated in five trips to the Octagon and was last seen capturing a unanimous decision victory over the fading Tony Ferguson at UFC 296. As for Green (32-15-1, 1 NC), he rebounded from a knockout loss to Jalin Turner to outpoint Jim Miller at UFC 300 just last month.

“Bobby Green screamed my name on the mic after [UFC 300],” Pimblett said on YouTube. “Didn’t surprise me, know what I mean? He might be ranked, but he’s got no followers and he needs me. Just like everyone else, they want to fight me because they know I’m the boy. Bobby Green’s an option. If Bobby Green wants to fight, I’m there.”

I guess that Renato Moicano fight will have to wait.

UFC 304 will also feature the featherweight showdown between Arnold Allen and Giga Chikadze. Elsewhere on the card, Manel Kape and Muhammad Mokaev hook ‘em up at flyweight, not long after Bruna Brasil and Molly McCann collide at 115 pounds.
