Francis Ngannou and Alexander Volkanovski went absolutely wild when their close friend Israel Adesanya knocked out Alex Pereira at UFC 287.

The knockout was extremely sudden and electrifying. Adesanya had his back to the cage and was getting lit up by bombs from Pereira when suddenly, ‘The Last Stylebender’ unleashed a perfectly timed shovel hook with his left and followed it up with a laser beam of a right hand.

This staggered ‘Poatan’, and Adesanya would fake with his left before connecting with another right hook that sent Pereira unconscious and crashing to the canvas. For good measure, ‘The Last Stylebender’ connected with a final nuclear warhead of a hammer fist to well and truly make sure the fight was indeed finished.

This would make Adesanya and Pereira 1-1 in MMA and 3-1 in all, as Poatan has two notorious victories over Adesanya from their kickboxing days and also defeated ‘The Last Stylebender’ upon their first fateful meeting inside the cage at UFC 281.

Leon Edwards retains title, defeats Kamaru Usman in debated majority decision win – UFC 286 Highlights

Leon Edwards remains the undisputed UFC welterweight champion off the back of tonight’s UFC 286 headliner with former titleholder and three-time opponent, Kamaru Usman — defeating the Auchi native in their trilogy rubber match in a close, majority decision (48-46, 48-46, 47-47) victory in the main event at The O2 Arena. Edwards, who had stopped […]

Edwards, who had stopped Usman’s dominant title reign back in August of last year with a stunning fifth round high kick KO win in Salt Lake City, Utah — was forced the distance for the second time against the ONX Labs trainee, following a 2015 decision loss to Usman.

Defending his welterweight crown for the first time, Edwards was deducted a point the second round of tonight’s headliner with Usman — grabbing the Octagon fence to defend a takedown in the sophomore frame.

Extending his undefeated run at the welterweight limit to 13 consecutive fights, Edwards brushed off an immediate title defense against former interim champion, Colby Covington — who was in attendance in London, weighing up a potential return against either Gilbert Burns, or Jorge Masvidal — who fight next month at UFC 287 in Miami, Florida.

Below, catch the highlights as Leon Edwards defends his title at UFC 286

Video – Leon Edwards, Kamaru Usman share intense face off ahead of UFC 286 title rubber match

UFC 286 has become as highly anticipated as it can be following a very intense face off between Leon Edwards and Kamaru Usman.

UFC 286 has become as highly anticipated as it can be following a very intense face off between Leon Edwards and Kamaru Usman.

In just two days, Leon “Rocky” Edwards is set for his first title defence on home soil against his familiar foe Kamaru Usman at the O2 Arena.

This evening in London, the two faced off for the first time since their rematch in Salt Lake City, during the UFC 286 press conference.

Tempered flared as the two welterweights did not hesitate in going at each other verbally, with Leon Edwards receiving a huge buzz from his English fan base.

Their last meeting in the octagon was just seven months ago when Leon Edwards saved his night from slipping into the judges grasp with a last minute head kick KO which set the MMA world ablaze.

Prior to their rematch, Usman was on an incredible 19 fight win-streak, undefeated in the UFC, with a win over Leon Edwards back in 2015.

The Nigerian born fighter was battling for pound-for-pound greatness as he kept shattering records, until just the second loss of the 35-year-old’s career.

Although some fans and fighters may believe he needed a longer layoff to recover from the knockout, Usman believes he is as confident as ever to settle his score with Rocky.

He took accountability for his mistake in the final moments of their rematch, but he also made it clear to Leon Edwards who was in control the majority of the fight.

Edwards, who has been considerably quiet during his UFC career, with struggles of his own which saw him go nearly two years without an opponent, is as fired up and positive as he’s ever appeared.

The Jamaican native suffered a difficult upbringing which sculpted him into the fighter he is today, and he became an instant fan favourite following the jaw dropping head kick and post fight interview with Joe Rogan.

In terms of who may be next in line for the welterweight crown it remains a mystery, and all eyes will be on London this Saturday for what’s set to be a hair-raising spectacle.

Will Leon Edwards retain his championship at UFC 286?

Video – Jake Paul, Floyd Mayweather involved in altercation at Miami Heat game: ‘Let’s bust him up’

Footage has emerged over night of former undefeated professional boxer, Jake Paul and former multiple-time world champion, Floyd Mayweather involved n a heated altercation at a Miami Heat basketball match, with Paul running from the former world champion and his entourage of personnel, after one shouts “let’s bust him up”. Paul, a former unbeaten professional […]

Paul, a former unbeaten professional boxer, saw his undefeated streak come to an end in Saudi Arabia last month, with Manchester-born boxer and reality television star, Tommy Fury handing the Ohio native a close, split decision loss to Riyadh.

As for Mayweather, the former multiple-weight boxing world champion, headlined an exhibition card in London, England in recent weeks against former Bellator MMA contender and Geordie Shore alum, Aaron Chalmers, as part of his recent string of exhibition boxing matches.

Attempting to back away from the entourage, which Paul claims was at least 50 deep, the YouTuber then back pedals entirely, and runs from the situation, with members of Mayweather’s team goading him and questioning why he is sprinting away.

“So I’m leaving the Miami Heat game and Floyd Mayweather and 50 dudes pull up out of nowhere,” Jake Paul posted on Instagram. “Out of some side alley waiting for me outside of the stadium. They’re like, ‘What’s up, what’s all that talk now?’”

“I’m like, first of all, what did I say to you Floyd?” Jake Paul continues. “I just took your hat and you’re still mad about it? Come on, bro. Then 50 dudes literally start surrounding me trying to jump me. I’m out that b*tch.”

With talks of a potential July rematch with Fury rumbling on, Paul recently claimed that a wet dream ahead of his February fight with the former Love Island contestant ruined his preparations for the fight – leading to a diminished performance.

Video – Joe Rogan left shellshocked following Jon Jones’ championship win at UFC 285: ‘He got him’

The UFC have released footage from their three-man commentary booth at UFC 285 last weekend – with color-commenator Joe Rogan, as well as play-by-play lead, Jon Anik left shellshocked and gobsmacked following Jon Jones’ quickfire submission over Ciryl Gane to snatch the vacant heavyweight crown.

Jones, a former two-time undisputed light heavyweight champion under the Octagon banner to boot, headlined UFC 285 in his first walk in over three years last weekend, contending for vacant heavyweight spoils against former interim division champion, Gane.

Securing the vacant division crown in a stunning submission triumph, Jon Jones, who easily manhandled the French contender to the Octagon canvas – worked his way to the fence before nabbing a taut guillotine choke with just over two minutes gone in the first frame.

Sharing their reaction to the win as it played out, Rogan, Anik and former two-weight champion, Daniel Cormier – a past opponent of Endicott native, Jones, expressed their shock at the new champion’s timely submission success.

“The booth reaction when P4P king @JonnyBones (Jon Jones) cemented the win,” UFC tweeted.

Off the back of his spectacular submission victory, Jones subsequently leapfrogged both featherweight champion, Alexander Volkanovski, and lightweight kingpin, Islam Makhachev in the pound-for-pound pile – taking the summit top-spot.

Jon Jones expected to fight former champion Stipe Miocic next

In his first expected title defense later this year, Jones, a former Jackson-Wink MMA staple, is widely anticipated to welcome former two-time heavyweight best, Stipe Miocic back to the Octagon for the first time in two years – atop UFC 290 in July during International Fight Week – in what promises to be a blockbuster showdown.

Scoring five consecutive victories with his submission win over Gane last Saturday, Jones had racked up three successful title defenses over Anthony Smith, Thiago Santos, and Dominick Reyes during his second reign as light heavyweight titleholder.
