Conor McGregor’s head coach John Kavanagh recounts last week’s drama involving the UFC 189 main event.

UFC vice president of regulatory affairs Marc Ratner talks about the latest disappointment involving MMA in New York.

The long-awaited debut of the UFC’s Reebok fight kits arrived on Tuesday, and reaction from the fighter community has been decidedly mixed, to say the least. For examples of the new gear, click here. Otherwise check out reaction below from the pros as Reebok unveiled the uniforms that will become mandatory attire for all UFC-organized events beginning next month. (This page will be updated throughout the day.)

No offense but if anyone pays $95 for a shirt with my name on the back you’re an idiot.

If some of the Reebok money went to administration costs for crew in charge of the gear then they got a low ROI at this point. Infuriating

MMA Video: Joanna Jedrzejczyk discusses the new Reebok kits

Watch the Johny Hendricks vs. Robbie Lawler full fight video below to see Lawler’s title win over Hendricks at UFC 181 on Dec. 6, 2014. Lawler, the UFC welterweight champion, returns to the Octagon against Rory MacDonald at UFC 189 on July 11.

One of the best kickboxers in the world was put out cold.

Hisaki Kato, an unheralded Japanese karate fighter, crushed Joe Schilling with a one-punch knockout at 34 seconds of the second round Friday night at Bellator 139 in Mulvane, Kan. Schilling was unconscious before he hit the ground and Kato finished with another punch on the canvas.

Kato (5-1) was a +450 underdog in his Bellator debut. Schilling (2-5) has now lost two straight in Bellator after knocking out Melvin Manhoef last November.

Dan Henderson discusses his inspiring win over Tim Boetsch earlier this month and where he goes from here.
