Current BKFC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship) flyweight champion, Christine Ferea has vowed to donate her brain to a scientific study following her passing, off the back of last night’s decision win over challenger, Jade Masson-Wong at BKFC 65 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Ferea, the current undisputed flyweight champion in the BKFC — improved to 9-1 last night with her win over Canadian challenger, Masson-Wong, having previously racked up a pair of consecutive wins over UFC alum, Bec Rawlings.
And thrice competing under the Shannon Knapp-led Invicta FC banner, Ferea would land an impressive high-kick and strikes TKO win over Rachael Ostovich, before suffering consecutive decision defeats to Tiffany Van Soest, and Karina Rodriguez.
BKFC star, Christine Ferea set to donate brain to scientific study
Revealing plans for her future following her eventual passing, Ferea, 41, revealed she would be donating her brain to a scientific study — claiming she would not “need to keep it” after her death.
“I didn’t know what it was a first, and I went in and they do a brain scan on you, and it’s let you know if your cognitive (function) is getting messed up, if you brain is damaged from the hits,” Christine Ferea told MMA Fighting. “The first one is like a two-hour scan, and then every three years do the two-hours scan, and then I do (another scan) every year.”
“They let me know if I’m cognitively declining if my brain is declining, if there’s brain damage accumulating,” Christine Ferea explained. “They do several cognitive tests, balance, so many different things to make sure.”
“If I’m starting to decline, I’m quitting,” Christine Ferea explained. “Period. I’m not messing with my brain. If I break bones, if my back hurts, my shoulder, if that hurts I still care about that, but not as much as my brain. I definitely will give my brain to the study. It’s not like I need to keep it or anyone else needs to keep it.”

After revealing he once spent the majority of his time in high school bullying a classmate — and repeatedly using them as a “punching bag”, former undisputed UFC middleweight champion, Sean Strickland has been ripped by fans and critics across social media.
Last time out, the Xtreme Couture staple landed an impressive split decision victory over former title challenger, Paulo Costa at UFC 302 in New Jersey, returning him to winning ways.
At the beginning of this year at UFC 296, Strickland dropped his middleweight title in another close split judging loss to the above-mentioned du Plessis in Canada.
Sean Strickland admits to bullying classmate during time in high school
And on social media this week, the ever-outspoken Strickland revealed he had beat up a classmate throughout their time in high school, leading to a slew of comments criticizing the former.
“Public schools=hell,” Sean Strickland posted on his official X account. “There was this one kid, Dunkin (sic). My full time HS punching bag, until he vanished. I was so hard on this guy. Beating him up in the locker room daily, calling him Columbine. My bad, man, truly… Not an excuse… but I got it way worse than I gave it.”
“Find him, buy him a car or something,” A user replied.
“”May bad man” gotta be up there with top 10 worst apologies ever.”
“You being a high school bully makes sense.”
“70% I like you, 30% you seem like a bullying coward.”

Former interim UFC lightweight champion, Dustin Poirier has once more confirmed plans to make one final Octagon appearance off the back of his latest undisputed title charge loss — revealing he plans to step into the “fray” for one last time.
Poirier, the current number four ranked lightweight contender, has been sidelined since he headlined UFC 302 back in May, suffering a fifth round D’Arce choke submission defeat against current pound-for-pound number one, Islam Makhachev in the pair’s heated grudge fight.
And weighing up his fighting future in the immediate aftermath of his submission loss to the Russian, veteran lightweight star, Poirier failed to hang up his gloves, and in the weeks following the defeat, maintained he may fight one final time.
Dustin Poirier confirms plan for one final Octagon walk
On social media this weekend to boot, the Lafayette striking favorite once more confirmed plans to compete just once more in the UFC — amid links to a slew of high-profile bouts at his 155lbs home.
“I will,” Dustin Poirier responded to a user on X who questioned if he would fight again. “Once more into the fray, into the last good fight I’ll ever know. Live and die on this day, live and die on this day.”
In his most recent win, the Louisianan fan-favorite turned in an impressive rallying win over French contender, Benoit Saint Denis — snapping the Nimes prospect’s impressive winning run with a blistering knockout success as recent as April.
Earlier this week, however, the American Top Team staple confirmed he would not even entertain a potential grudge fight with former training partner, Colby Covington, claiming the outspoken veteran would not be making any sort of money off his name in a long-rumored pairing.

At this point, there are NUMEROUS stories and videos of Khamzat running through his opposition in the gym. “Borz” has traveled all around the world and trained with a ton of teams and camps over the years, and nobody has ever said the man is an easy round. Pretty much all the stories break down to the same summary: Khamzat goes insanely hard in the gym, and it’s hard for even the best to deal with!
Luke Rockhold would appear to be the latest to learn this lesson. In the highlight clip above, the former UFC Middleweight champion is rendered defensive by the Chechen mega prospect. Rockhold has competed in high-level grappling and was known for being an excellent anti-wrestling throughout his UFC career, but he wasn’t able to get any offense going in this gym match up vs. Chimaev. In Rockhold’s defense, he did injure his back in the recent Craig Jones Invitational tournament, which perhaps played a role.
Either way, Chimaev’s dominance doesn’t just happen in the gym. He remains unbeaten in his UFC career, having utterly steamrolled five of his seven opponents. That said, when Gilbert Burns and Kamaru Usman were able to survive the early onslaught and extend the fight, “Borz” looked a little more human.
Assuming he makes it to the cage, Chimaev’s next step is a five-round co-main event versus Robert Whittaker at UFC 308 on Oct. 26, 2024 from inside Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. If victorious, there’s a solid chance Chimaev finds himself in a title fight sooner than later.
