Shevchenko was scheduled to meet Nicco Montano at September 8’s UFC 228. The plans fell apart when Montano fell ill. The UFC soon decided to strip her and vacate the title. debuted at 125 pounds with a brutal showing versus Priscila Cachoeira in February after two losses to women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes.
“Bullet” is the sort of uncrowned champion at 125 pounds due to her performance against larger opponents.
She’ll have to get past Jedrzejczyk to become the official champion. The former “Joanna Champion” suffered two straight losses to current champion Rose Namajunas. She rebounded with a decision win over Tecia Torres at UFC on FOX 30 this July. The vicious weight cut down to 115 pounds has clearly affected her in her recent bouts. Jedrzejczyk’s move was an expected one.
Shevchenko and Jedrzejczyk have actually fought three times in Muay Thai. “Bullet” won all three of the fights, which certainly should make her a solid favorite. Shevchenko has been largely flawless outside of her two fight with Nunes. Her well-round skillset makes her one of the most feared fighters in women’s mixed martial arts because of it.
Will she take home the women’s 125-pound title as a result?

In the weeks after his close decision win over Dan Henderson at October 4’s UFC 204, UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping has been busy calling out two big names in Georges St-Pierre and Nick Diaz for the feature bout of December 10’s UFC 206 from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Neither fight seemed to materialize, yet “The Count” was tabbed to talked about as a replacement for Luke Rockhold against Jacare Souza in the main event of November’s UFC Fight Night 101 from Melbourne, Australia.
However, while serving as host of “UFC Tonight” on FOX Sports 1, he revealed that wouldn’t be fighting any of those big names, as he’s healing from a broken orbital suffered against Henderson and also has to get treatment on his knee:
“As you all know, I fought Dan Henderson very recently. I’ve got a busted orbital, I’m getting injections in my knee.”
That seems like a peculiar set of circumstances considering he was calling out GSP and Diaz so recently, but Bisping clarified that he miraculously could have recovered to take on either of those two superstars because of the payday involved, something that was absent from the bout with Jacare:
“Now I know what everyone at home is going to say: ‘Didn’t you call out GSP a couple weeks ago? Yes, I did, but really, think about this, that was a massive payday, roughly $3-4 million I would have earned from that fight. Against Jacare, I’m going to get around about a quarter.”
So the MMA world – in addition to Jacare’s manager – thinks Bisping is somehow ducking the lethal submission artist, but the British titleholder insists that is not what he’s doing and something he’s never done. In his opinion, he’s going to face the winner of Chris Weidman vs. Yoel Romero at UFC 205 or Jacare:
“I’m assuming they’re saying that I’m ducking Jacare,” Bisping said. “I’ve never ducked anybody in my life. … Next week, Yoel and Weidman are fighting. Whoever wins, either that guy, or Jacare, will be my next fight, make no mistake. But I’m not doing it in a few weeks.”
While it’s no surprise Bisping is unable to fight Souza in November, it is a curious scenario that he could seemingly fight only three weeks later if he does have a serious injury, especially considering his history of eye issues. Bisping is looking for the big payday, and unfortunately for the Fighter of the Year candidate (whether you like it or not), that’s something he’s been accused of doing rather than facing the best 185-pound martial artists in the UFC.
The only thing he can do to silence those haters is face and defeat Jacare, Weidman, or Romero in his next title fight.

Despite the fact that Jon Jones’ fighting future is currently unclear due to his situation with the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), UFC President Dana White had shown interest in booking top contender Anthony “Rumble” Johnson against “Bones”, the interim champion, rather than giving him a shot at reigning titleholder Daniel Cormier.
Ultimately Johnson received his wish, as he’s set to rematch Cormier in the main event of December 10’s UFC 206 from Toronto Canada. In fact, “Rumble” recently told MMAJunkie that he wasn’t going to accept any other bout aside from a title fight:
“It just came kind of out of the blue, and I said Dana’s crazy,” Johnson said. “I worked my ass off to get this title shot. I’m not about to let him or anybody else get in my way to get it. I wasn’t going to fight unless it was for the title, period. Because I deserved it.”
Johnson and Jones were actually scheduled to fight at April 2015’s UFC 187, but “Bones” was forced to withdraw from the bout due to legal issues. Cormier stepped up to replace him and ended up submitting Johnson to become the undisputed titleholder. Since losing to “DC”, “Rumble” has gone on a tear, scoring three straight knockout victories over the likes of Jimi Manuwa, Ryan Bader and Glover Teixeira.
With momentum behind him, Johnson is expecting a different outcome against Cormier this time around:
“I’m hungry,” Johnson said. “I wasn’t as hungry the first time because the opponent got changed up at the last minute, so it kind of threw me for a loop. This time I just plan on going out there and fighting. Why worry about who it is? Why worry about the crowd? Why worry about all the hype? I just want to fight.”
Who do you expect to walk away with 205-pound gold in December?

Unless your interest in fighting peaks with the tale of the tape, there’s a pretty good chance the main event between Jon Jones and Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 165 isn’t going to satisfy your need for balanced competition. It’s always a treat to watch Jones do his thing, mind you. And Gustafsson is a fine […]
