Conor McGregor, the brash UFC fighter, has added his voice to the growing buzz surrounding recent UFO sightings. In a playful tweet, McGregor expressed his thoughts on the influx of UFO reports, calling it “pretty cool.”

Conor McGregor on UFO’s

Conor McGregor said:

“Pretty cool to see ufo’s rocking around freely now. Kang and Kodos shortly, The Simpsons predicted it. The lads were alright. #Kang #Kodos“

Conor McGregor’s comment comes amidst an uptick in UFO sightings, including several in the UK and the US in recent weeks. From November 20 to 22, 2024, drones were spotted hovering over multiple Royal Air Force (RAF) bases in the UK, including RAF Lakenheath, RAF Mildenhall, and RAF Feltwell, which are crucial to the US Air Force’s operations.

Recent UAP and UFO Sightings

These sightings occurred while preparations were underway for RAF Lakenheath’s nuclear mission, prompting concerns about potential surveillance from foreign adversaries. The UK Ministry of Defence has maintained its stance on UAPs, stating that it has not investigated such reports since 2009 and that no UAP sightings have indicated any military threat to the UK.

Across the Atlantic, similar reports have emerged in Somerset County, New Jersey, where residents reported multiple sightings of unidentified objects in early December 2024. These incidents are part of a broader pattern of UAP sightings near US military and nuclear facilities.

In the UK, Manchester Airport recently faced a media frenzy after images and videos of a purported UFO appeared on social media, allegedly showing a spherical object. However, airport officials dismissed the claims, asserting that the footage was likely fake and that their security systems would have flagged any legitimate threat.

As Conor McGregor’s comment highlights, whether you believe in extraterrestrial life or not, the mystery surrounding UFOs shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

UFC legend Michael Bisping Reveals the Secret Behind his Ridiculous Cardio

The Count’ Michael Bisping, the iconic British MMA fighter has long been admired for his unrivaled cardio in the UFC. Known for his ability to outlast opponents in grueling, high-paced bouts, Bisping’s fitness was one of the cornerstones of his successful career. Now, the UFC Hall of Famer has revealed the astonishing secret behind his cardio.

Michael Bisping’s Cardio

He has a resting heart rate of just 32 beats per minute (bpm)—an incredibly low number even for elite endurance athletes. To put this into perspective, the average resting heart rate for most adults ranges between 60 and 100 bpm. Athletes, especially those in endurance sports, typically fall between 40 and 60 bpm, with elite marathon runners like Eliud Kipchoge and Mo Farah reporting a resting heart rate of 33 bpm. A heart rate of 32 bpm, as Bisping’s, is on par with the world’s best.

Michael Bisping’s legendary cardio was developed over years of relentless training. He began his martial arts journey at the age of 8, and his career in the UFC spanned 29 fights— tying him for the most appearances in UFC history. His endurance was showcased by his record-breaking cage time of over 6 hours, the second-longest in the organization’s history.

One of Bisping’s most iconic moments came at UFC 199, where he made history by becoming the first British fighter to win a UFC Championship. He achieved this feat by defeating Luke Rockhold via knockout, despite taking the fight on short notice. He successfully defended his title later that year in a five-round contest against Dan Henderson.

Bisping’s legendary fitness was the result of a holistic training approach, incorporating explosive power exercises, strength training, and high-intensity cardio sessions.

In a surprising crossover moment, UFC champion Alex Pereira was spotted dancing with South Korean girl group tripleS, blending the worlds of combat sports and K-pop. tripleS, a 24-member group under MODHAUS.

Alex Pereira Dances with K-Pop Group tripleS

tripleS has made waves in the K-pop scene with its decentralized structure. Launched in 2023, the group allows fans to vote on everything from song selections to sub-unit formations through their app, Cosmos. This model has fascinated global fans, propelling tripleS to international attention.

In December 2024, Pereira, who is a two-division UFC champion, was seen joining the group in a fun, unexpected dance collaboration. Known for his striking power and impressive MMA career, Pereira’s participation in the dance came as a surprise to many fans of both the UFC and K-pop.

The full 24-member debut of tripleS occurred in May 2024 with their album ASSEMBLE24, marking a milestone in their journey. The K-pop group’s unique concept continues to set them apart from others in the industry, with their fan-driven approach. tripleS has quickly become one of the most talked-about K-pop groups, as evidenced by their Best New Female Artist win at the 2023 MAMA Awards. As of October 2024, tripleS had sold a total of 718,241 copies in South Korea across all their releases.

Colby Covington’s Islamophobic Remarks Against Belal Muhammad Spark Outrage Regarding Exploding Pager

Colby Covington is a polarizing figure in the UFC welterweight division, has once again stirred controversy with offensive comments aimed at Belal Muhammad, the current division champion who is Palestinian-American. Covington, known for his brash persona and trash talk, accused Muhammad of wearing a “pager on his foot” that allegedly exploded, causing him to withdraw from a fight.

Colby Covington on Belal Muhammad

In a recent statement, Covington commented on Muhammad’s withdrawal from his fight, claiming, “I called the UFC when Belal had a pager on his foot, and he backed out ’cause I guess the pager exploded on his ankle and messed up his toe, which is just weird. You guys need to ask Belal why he is wearing a pager around his ankle. That’s just weird.” These words, though masked as trash talk, have drawn widespread criticism for their Islamophobic implications.

Covington’s remarks cannot be separated from the broader geopolitical context. On September 17, 2024, an incident occurred when pagers distributed to Hezbollah operatives exploded simultaneously across Lebanon and Syria. The explosion, which resulted in numerous casualties, was allegedly the work of Israeli intelligence. While Covington’s comments seem to reference this event, they do so in a manner that links Muhammad to terrorism, using a stereotype that Muslim individuals are linked to violence and extremism.

Covington’s behavior is not new. Throughout his career, he has made headlines for pushing the boundaries of trash talk, often crossing the line into offensive and hate-filled rhetoric, often against black athletes. However, this latest incident takes his words into dangerous territory, invoking Islamophobic stereotypes to make a cheap point.

It’s crazy how Colby Covington can go to a UFC press conference & openly call Belal Muhammad a terrorist just because he’s Muslim & not a single media outlet writes an article about it

“Colby Covington’s remarks against Belal Muhammad reflect a broader pattern of prejudice. In an era where athletes are increasingly using their platforms for social good, Covington’s words stand in stark contrast and perpetuate hatred. Colby Covington lobbies disgusting Islamaphobic attack against Belal Muhammad claiming “he pulled out because a pager exploded on his ankle” Colby is such a disgrace but this really highlights his desperation to stay relevant.”

Muhammad Mokaev Vows To Become ‘Pound-For-Pound Best Fighter In The World’ Ahead Of Post-UFC Return

On December 13, Muhammad Mokaev is set to make his return to MMA following a very significant and unpredictable 12 months in 2024. “The Punisher” last fought at UFC 304 in July where he defeated Manel Kape to earn his seventh consecutive win inside the Octagon. At just 24-years old he has already shown that […]

At just 24-years old he has already shown that he isn’t just the future of the flyweight division but he was the present as well and off the back of another big win over a highly ranked opponent, it seemed clear that he would challenge for the UFC’s 125-pound title in the near future. Instead, in the post-fight press conference, Dana White announced that the promotion would be parting ways with Mokaev due to the issues and complications that he has caused outside of the cage with his behaviour.

Mokaev had got into several fights with fellow fighters including one with his last UFC opponent, Portugal’s Kape who also returns this weekend at UFC Tampa. For now, he is set to put this behind him in order to continue with his incredibly promising career.

It was announced shortly after his UFC departure that he had re-signed with his former home before he stepped inside the Octagon, BRAVE Combat Federation. His return at BRAVE CF 91 at the Khalifa Sports City Arena in Bahrain sees him take on a short notice replacement opponent in Filipino flyweight Joevincent So.

In a recent interview with Fight Book MMA, Mokaev spoke about his mentality after what he has been through in the past few months and how it hasn’t derailed his dream of proving himself to be the best in the world.

“I see a lot of people recognize that I’m one of the best Flyweights in the world. But I believe I’m still young, I’m still not in my prime,” Mokaev stated. “I’m winning because of my hard work. I think once I get in my physical prime, like around 26 or 27, I’ll be even stronger and that’s when you’ll see the difference. I will be the pound-for-pound number one fighter in the world! When you’re going against the best in the world, you have to sacrifice everything. That’s what separates a champion from a non-champion.”

Sean Strickland’s Coach Explains Picking Dricus Du Plessis As ‘Toughest Challenge’ Over Khamzat Chimaev

Sean Strickland is set to challenge for the UFC middleweight title for the second time in his upcoming rematch with Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 312. The former champion stuck to the idea that he would wait for his shot at “Stillknocks” following his win over Paulo Costa in June and it paid off for […]

For his head coach at Xtreme Couture, Eric Nicksick, the next few months will be all about looking at what they need to do differently in order to defeat Du Plessis in Sydney, Australia. Their first meeting at UFC 297 came down to a close split decision that saw the South African become the 185-pound champion.

For several weeks following his submission win over Robert Whittaker at UFC 308, it looked like the promotion might be heading towards Khamzat Chimaev as the next title challenger for Du Plessis. Though they aren’t thinking about it right now, both teams will know that if they come out on top in February, Chimaev will likely be their next opponent.

Nicksick spoke in a recent interview with Submission Radio about which opponent is a bigger threat to Strickland out of the current champion and the other top contender in the division. He explained why in his opinion, as of right now, Du Plessis is their biggest challenge.

“I mean, you would have to say [Dricus du Plessis] because he won, he beat us. Right now you have to say that [he’s the tougher matchup] because that’s the task at hand. I think Khamzat presents tons of different variables to his style that we’re gonna have to look at how to break down once that challenge presents itself. But right now, DDP is the toughest challenge for us.”
