UFC leaders have repeatedly said they don’t view Bellator as true competition. On Friday, though, their actions indicated otherwise. In their first head-to-head time slot competition with Bellator—and for Bellator’s first event under new president Scott Coker—the UFC put together a humdinger of a cable TV card for UFC Fight Night 50.

There’s no denying it—a great deal of shuffling left UFC 177 underwhelming on paper. UFC 176 was cancelled. The highly anticipated rematch between Jon Jones and Alexander Gustafsson was pushed back. So was the co-main event between Demetrious Johnson and Chris Cariaso. Even the rematch for the UFC Bantamweight Championship between TJ Dillashaw and Renan Barao […]

When bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw successfully defended his title Saturday night against Joe Soto at UFC 177, he proved that he belongs in the conversation as one of the pound-for-pound toughest men in the sport.

Bethe Correia […]

Another UFC double-header is done, and fans were, ahem, “treated” to 21 fights stretched out over 19 hours. It was a brutal day for the members of the MMA media who had to watch each and every fight, especially given how remarkably bad UFC Fight Night 48 was and how unnecessarily long Fight Night 49 […]
