Fabio Maldonado made it two in a row in his pro boxing return when he knocked out Alessandro Bernardo in the first round back on March 5.
It’s now two fights and two knockout wins ever since Fabio Maldonado decided to go back to his professional boxing career after being released from the UFC last month. In a quick rebound, Maldonado accepted to take on Alessandro Bernardo (2-7) only one week after defeating Robson Bambu.

Once again, the fight did not last too long, as Maldonado connected early with a right hand to the chin that sent Bernardo to the floor. Bernardo actually managed to stand up within the 10-second count, but was too dazed to continue and the referee waved the fight off, declaring Maldonado the winner.
The victory improved Maldonado’s pro boxing record to 24-0, with 23 KO’s.
For now, it is not yet certain when Fabio Maldonado will step back into the boxing ring. As for his MMA career, his scheduled fight against Andrew Smith on March 19th was cancelled (along with the whole XFC event, apparently), but he has been rebooked to fight on May 6th against an opponent TBD.

Wow, Nate Diaz also blasts Conor McGregor’s haters and the trolls…
For those of you that thought the heated rivalry between Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor was still burning, this recent interview might change your mind. We are just 11 days removed from the madness of UFC 196, and the blockbuster pay-per-view card from Las Vegas, Nevada is still making front page news. The UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor faced Nate Diaz in the main event of the evening, and it was more spectacular than any of us could’ve imagined.
To the surprise of many of ‘The Notorious” fan base, the Irish boxer was not able to take Diaz out in the first round as he’d predicted. The chin of the Stockton Jiu Jitsu ace proved steadfast, and by round two it was clear who was going home with the victory. For the first time in McGregor’s UFC career, he was in serious trouble, and Diaz’s combinations began clipping the jaw on a regular basis.
As UFC commentator Mike Goldberg might say, Diaz smelled the opening, and he wasn’t going to let McGregor off the hook. All the trash talk and mentions of ‘snitches in Stockton’ had clearly put wind in the sails of Diaz, and it wasn’t long before his own predictions began to come true. Everyone becomes a wrestler once they get hit, and McGregor did just that, shooting in for an ill fated takedown on the superior grappler. This marked the end of the fight before it had even happened.
The subsequent ground and pound from the mount, attempt to escape by McGregor, and Diaz sinking in the rear naked choke from the back was elementary.
For once it was Conor McGregor on the receiving end of the taunts inside the octagon, he was a broken man, and Nate Diaz’s corner were letting him know this throughout the final moments of the fight. As the featherweight champion tapped out, it was clear that welterweight was not the place for him, and that Diaz’s Jiu Jitsu was simply superb. We also saw a huge backlash in the form of hateful memes and a strange scrutiny of McGregor for tapping out rather than going to sleep.

UFC Fight Night 85 In Brisbane is around the corner and all eyes are on the Mark Hunt Vs. Frank Mir clash. The headliner on March 20 (March 19 in USA due to difference in time zone) is sure to be a tough one with plenty of betting going on. What we have is a classic striker take on a grappler, which makes it all the more interesting.
Samoan Mark Hunt (11-10-1) comes in as a favorite due to his reputation as a fighter and cool all-round personality. His background in kickboxing brings with it some great striking skills and KO power while Hunt is also known to be able to take a lot of punishment. Fans who have watched him are well aware that he waits for the right moment to strike a lethal blow. Yet, Hunt is a fighter who can keep you guessing since he could lose six in a row and them come back to win four.
Hunt’s last four fights are what bettors ought to look at. He won against Roy Nelson and was then defeated back to back by Fabricio Werdum and Stipe Miocic. However, he came back strongly at UFC 193 where he defeated Antonio Silva in the first round via TKO.
Frank Mir (18-10-0) is infamous for the Mir Lock, his shoulder lock from the guard. He has over 15 years experience in pro MMA matches and is the only fighter to win a toe hold fight in UFC. Mir has also won fights through a wide range of strikes and submissions. He had a series of wins in 2015 that put him in title contention for the third time. Last February he defeated Antonio Silva and then knocked out Todd Duffee in the first round in July. He lost a close fight to Andrei Arlovski in September 2015.
Both Hunt, 41, and Mir, 36, are at the bottom of the top-10 heavyweight rankings and defeinitly catching up on age. In this fight we should see Hunt with an advantage in the standup game. He has won 70 fights overall in kickboxing, boxing and MMA and comes in with loads of experience against different types of fighters. This could possibly work to his advantage where we may see a KO in his favor in UFC 85 in Brisbane on March 19, 2016.
Frank Mir also has the experience but isn’t as crisp in his standup game as compared to Hunt. His advantage is on the ground where we may see him dragging Hunt to the ground at least once to keep him guessing. If this pans out well then Mir could have the edge.
Hunt has a 68% takedown record in the UFC while Mir stands at 47.5% takedowns. Currently, Bet365 has Frank Mir at 6/4 and Mark Hunt at 4/7. William Hill also has Mir at 6/4 and Mark Hunt at 8/15.
