Conor McGregor represents a new kind of superstar in the UFC. Apparently fine-tuned in a laboratory deep below the streets of Dublin, Ireland, the budding featherweight contender fuses athleticism, execution and charisma into one magnetic persona. His appetite for destruction has never been seen at the 145-pound level, which in turn has transformed the 26-year-old […]

In combat sports, coaches and corner men have an important job. Their duty is not only to instruct the fighter leading up to the contest but to keep him calm, focused and safe during the battle.

After Chris Weidman’s smashing defeat of Vitor Belfort on Saturday night, only one fight makes sense. Luke Rockhold, the former Strikeforce middleweight champion, is in the middle of a four-fight winning streak.
