Mariya Agapova

Kazakhstan native, Mariya Agapova is back in the winner’s enclosure following the biggest betting underdog loss in the history of the UFC — dropping and then quickly submitting opponent, Sabina Mazo with a third round rear-naked choke in the middle of the UFC Vegas 39 main card.

Agapova, a product of Dana White‘s Contender Series, returned for the first time since her upset loss to Shana Dobson back in August of last year, and with a switch of camps in Florida, the 24-year-old prospect has lodged her second submission victory under the UFC’s banner.

Forced to fight on the outside for most of the fight against Medellin native, Mazo, Agapova dropped the Colombian with a massive right hook with less than a minute elapsed in the third round, sending Mazo to the canvas right away, before immediately jumping to the back, taking hooks and then locking up a quickfire rear-naked choke. Agapova adds Mazo to a UFC résumé which includes a debut success against Hannah Cifers — which also came with a rear-naked choke win.

In the words of UFC play-by-play commentator, Jon Anik, the clean-up crew have a busy night ahead following our preliminary featherweight bout between Charles Rosa, and eventual victor Damon Jackson.

Battling over the course of a three round preliminary card bout, Jackson emerged with a (29-26, 29-27, 30-27) unanimous decision win over Rosa, having lost what looks to be litres of blood after he was sliced with a massive spinning back elbow.

Dealing with a massive laceration to the right of his right eye, Jackson was consulted by the Octagon-side physician, who gave him the go ahead to continue despite the sizeable cut.

Returning to the position at the fence prior to the stoppage in action, Jackson somehow managed to remain composed as himself and Rosa scrambled for the final minute or so, with blood continuing to leak from him like a tap.

Below, catch the highlights from Jackson’s unanimous decision victory over fellow grappler, Rosa.

Professional wrestling icon, The Undertaker (real name Mark Calaway) has asked WBC and The Ring heavyweight boxing champion, Tyson Fury to use his famous phrase “rest in peace” should he knockout former heavyweight titleholder, Deontay Wilder ahead of their trilogy championship match tonight in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Headlining an event at the T-Mobile Arena — Fury looks to defend both his WBC and The Ring titles against challenger, Wilder in a third matchup between the two. From two prior matchups, the pair fought to a split draw back in 2018, before Fury managed to stop Wilder with a one-sided seventh round knockout in their rematch in February of last year.

Fury was widely expected to challenge former heavyweight champion, recent feature, Anthony Joshua off the back of his rematch with Wilder, however, the bout was shelved after an arbitration vetoed the long-awaited bout, in favor of a third matchup between the Manchester favorite and Wilder. 

Posting a video aimed at Fury, The Undertaker urged the defending champion to carry out a task for him should he knock Wilder out. 

“You smash this guy (Deontay Wilder), and when you’re looking over him, look down at him, just for me, and say, Rest. In. Peace.” The Undertaker said.

In response, Fury, donning a hat often worn by the WWE professional wrestling during his ring walks, confirmed he would carry out the request.

“This one’s for The Undertaker, I’m here today in your hat, sir,” Tyson Fury said in response. “I’m gonna smash him (Deontary Wilder) And I’m gonna say, Rest. In. Peace.“

Boasting a 30-0-1 professional record, Fury has bested the likes of Wilder, Tom Schwarz, Wladimir Klitschko, and twice, Derek Chisora. 

42-1-1 as a professional, Wilder, who has managed to take a whopping 41 knockouts over the course of his career, suffered his sole professional defeat against Fury, and has stopped the likes of Bermane Stiverne (x2), Chris Arreola, Dominic Breazeale, as well as Luis Ortiz (x2).

Robbie Lawler

Footage has emerged post-UFC 266 — which shows former undisputed welterweight champion, Robbie Lawler consoling former title challenger, Nick Diaz off the back of his rematch knockout victory earlier this month — offering his help to the Stockton native if he is struggling with life outside of the sport.

Earlier this month, Lawler, a former undisputed welterweight champion, with two successful title defenses, managed to avenge an April 2004 knockout loss to Californian favorite, Diaz, with the latter retiring from the fight in the third round, having suffered what appears to be broken nose.

Making his first Octagon walk since January 2015 in the rematch, Diaz expressed his displeasure at the fact he was matched with Lawler for the second time in his career, explaining how he had no idea how the re-run had come together, and how he had had a split with his management during his fight camp. Early in the week, Diaz also requested the bout be moved from the initially agreed welterweight limit to the middleweight limit — a request which was accepted.

Suffering just the third TKO loss of his professional career, Diaz embraced with Lawler immediately post-fight after he was beckoned to return to his feet by referee, Jason Herzog — with the two exchanging words as officials entered the Octagon.

In footage released by the UFC as part of their The Trill and The Agony series, Lawler offers his help to Diaz, as well as asking him if everything was good in his personal life.

“Are you good?” Robbie Lawler asked Diaz. “Are you good in life? That’s f*cking different. Let’s f*cking get there, you know what I’m saying.“

Diaz’s response to Lawler’s questions and encouragement are not audible and he is now facing the filming camera, however, Lawler replies with, “Let me f*cking know if I can help.“

During his post-fight interview with former two-weight UFC champion and color commentator, Daniel Cormier, Diaz claimed that he “had it coming” against Lawler, and that he did not want to make “a mess” in the Octagon as blood spilled from his nose. 

“I’m glad I at least put on a show,” Diaz said. “I knew I had it coming, Old Rob (Robbie Lawler). I had a lot of stress coming into this one, especially being off for a long time. I don’t have no excuses, I had a long time off and I knew I had it coming.“

Former undisputed UFC lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov attended Manchester United vs. Everton last weekend at Old Trafford as part of his trip to Britain on a promotional tour, with footage emerging of the retired Dagestani grappling engaging in a face-off with Portugal and United forward, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Khabib, who announced his retirement from professional mixed martial arts back in October of last year following his successful lightweight title unification win against former interim champion, Justin Gaethje, citing the passing of his father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov as the reason he would be hanging up his gloves.

In March of this year, Khabib officially vacated his undisputed lightweight title, despite constant and transparent attempts from UFC president, Dana White, and promotional officials to entice Khabib to make one final Octagon walk. 

In the summer, Khabib claimed that the aforenoted, Ronaldo had told him that he would be completing a return to Manchester United from Italian giants, Juventus, prior to the completion of the shocking move — with the 36-year-old also linked with a stunning transfer to city rival’s Manchester City.

Attending last weekend’s Premier League fixture against Everton, Khabib watched on as United were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw — with Ronaldo limited to minutes off the bench following a midweek UEFA Champions League fixture against Villarreal where he netted in the 94th. minute to steal a 2-1 victory.

Pictures emerged post-match showing Khabib enjoying the festivities with former Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, as well as former left-back, Patrice Evra, and Olympic gold medalist, Usain Bolt.

Meeting with Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United’s Carrington training ground, Khabib engaged in a face-off with the Portugal international, as well as took multiple pictures — a couple of which appear to show Ronaldo attempting a single-leg takedown on the undefeated mixed martial artist. 

For Ronaldo, the five-time FIFA Ballon d’Or winner completed a shock move back to Manchester United in August for a reported initial fee of £12.85 million transfer from Juventus — penning a two-year contract with the Manchester club.

In his second debut for United, Ronaldo netted twice in a 4-1 victory over Newcastle United, and has since scored against West Ham United, BSC Young Boys, and the aforenoted, Villarreal from six total appearances. 

Khabib retired from professional mixed martial arts with an undefeated 29-0 record, successfully defending the UFC lightweight title in submission wins over the trio of former champions, Conor McGregor, Dustin Poirier, and the above mentioned, Gaethje.

UFC middleweight contender, Kevin Holland reportedly apprehended a would-be carjacker this Monday afternoon in his neighborhood, chasing the attempted robber in his car, before then pursuing on foot and apprehending the alleged thief while waiting on responding officers to attend.

Holland, a 13-fight UFC alum, co-headlined UFC Vegas 38 last weekend at the UFC Apex facility — in an eventual official ‘No Contest’ against Philidelphia grappling ace, Kyle Daukaus. 

Involved in an accidental clash of heads with Daukaus midway through the opening round, the clash of heads appeared to render Holland unconscious who then appeared to come to as he face-planted into the Octagon canvas.

Defending an attempted D’Arce choke from Daukaus in a grappling scramble, Holland eventually gave up his back before tapping to a standing rear-naked choke. Upon review from referee, Dan Miragliotta, and the officials from the Nevada State Athletic Commission, the bout was ruled an official ‘No Contest’. 

In reports first aired by reporter, Ariel Helwani — Holland’s coach, Shug Dorsey documented footage of his student with members of law enforcement as well as an alleged attempted carjacker, with Helwani detailing how the Riverside-born striker had chased the assailant on foot after a pursuit in his vehicle.

“Earlier this a.m., like minutes ago, Kevin Holland apprehended a guy who was in the process of stealing someone’s car in his neighborhood, per his coach @cd_powertrain (Shug Dorsey),” Helwani reported. “Chased him down and stayed with him till the cops showed up. Holland followed the guy in his Dodge Charger then chased him on foot.“

Responding to the incident, Kevin Holland himself tweeted, “Gottem” beneath Helwani’s report, accompanied by a police officer emoji. 

On his own personal Twitter, Holland also tweeted, “Hold up. Gotta go grab a (donut emoji) right quick.“

The 28-year-old spent the majority of his most recent training camp for his UFC Vegas 38 co-main event alongside former undisputed UFC welterweight champion, Johny Hendricks in a bid to improve his wrestling ability — after embarking on a two-fight skid to both Marvin Vettori and Derek Brunson, where he suffered a combined 16 total takedowns.

Holland has managed to lodge notable UFC victories over the likes of Gerald Meerschaert, Alessio Di Chirico, Anthony Hernandez, Joaquin Buckley, Darren Stewart, as well as former undisputed Strikeforce middleweight champion, the now-retired, Jacare Souza.
