Echoes of Stone Cold Steve Austin. At UFC 300, Max Holloway delivered a jaw-dropping knockout in the final seconds of his fight against Justin Gaethje, cementing his place as one of the sport’s most thrilling fighters. The matchup was a highly anticipated clash between two of the UFC’s most exciting competitors, and it delivered.

Max Holloway vs. Justin Gaethje

‘Blessed’ Max Holloway is well known for his superb boxing. He entered the octagon as the underdog, especially after his previous loss to Dustin Poirier in the lightweight division. Gaethje’s size and powerful leg strikes had many experts predicting victory for him. However, Holloway’s performance defied expectations. He showcased incredible speed, out-landing Justin Gaethje. Despite taking heavy shots, one of which knocked him down for the first time in his career, he pressed on.

In the fight’s final moments, Holloway mirrored a move he made against Ricardo Lamas years ago, calling Gaethje to the center of the octagon to throw down. With just one second left on the clock, Holloway landed a massive right hand that knocked Gaethje out cold, securing a stunning victory and the BMF title.

Stone Cold Steve Austin

Former UFC champion Robert Whittaker couldn’t help but compare Holloway’s dramatic finish to the iconic Stone Cold Stunner, made famous by WWE legend Stone Cold Steve Austin. Whittaker praised Holloway’s boldness, saying, “Holloway stone-cold him—just stone-colded him. Gaethje was gone.” Whittaker added that the way Holloway walked off after the knockout reminded him of the dramatic flair of a wrestling finisher.

The Stone Cold Stunner became Steve Austin’s signature in the 1990s and remains a beloved part of wrestling history. This is not the first time Robert Whittaker has shown love for Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Is the UFC headed to Netflix after its current deal with ESPN expires?

On January 6, World Wrestling Entertainment will make its long-awaited debut on the streaming giant, taking its flagship show off cable television for the first time since its inception more than 30 years ago. In early 2024, the sports entertainment organization revealed that they had signed a massive $5 billion deal to bring Monday Night RAW to Netflix for the next 10 years.

With the UFC’s deal with ESPN set to run out at the end of 2025, could we see Dana White and Co. follow suit and bring their product to the world’s biggest streaming service?

It’s certainly possible according to MMA Fighting’s Damon Martin. In a recent post on X, the respected combat sports journalist offered some insight from industry insiders who strongly believe that the UFC will join its business brother on Netflix in 2026.

“A lot of industry folks seem to believe Netflix is the leading candidate to land at least part of the UFC’s broadcast rights after 2025,” Martin wrote. “Next year is gonna be very big for the UFC.”

In 2024, Endeavor—the UFC’s parent company—purchased World Wrestling Entertainment for $9.3 billion before merging the two organizations under one corporate banner, TKO Group Holdings.

Netflix’s First Foray into Combat Sports Leaves Fight Fans Frustrated

While Netflix’s first dive into the world of live combat sports rendered big results for the company, it left a lot of fight fans frustrated.

In November, Netflix was the exclusive home to a boxing match between former heavyweight world champion ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson and YouTube star Jake Paul.

While Netflix knew the fight would generate big numbers, it’s safe to say that the viewers they drew exceeded all expectations as well as their bandwidth.

According to reports, more than 65 million people live-streamed the generational clash simultaneously. Unfortunately, thousands of households were left scrambling to watch the fight through alternative resources after the streaming site crashed during the co-main event rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano.

“Whenever we do live events, we want it to go smoothly for every single one of our members,” Netflix chief content officer Bela Bajaria said during a press event on Wednesday. “That’s really important—also, to put it in perspective, it was 65 million concurrent streams, right? It was a very successful night. A lot of people [watched], the scale was very big, which is great. There’s a lot of interest in it.”

Of course, WWE’s chief content officer Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque will happily look past a few bugs in the system if it means getting 60 million fans to tune into RAW every week.

“I’ll just say, if it blinks a couple of times and we do 60 million, I’m good with that,” Levesque said with a laugh.

Logan Paul Fuels Conor McGregor Boxing Speculation in Bold WWE Championship Speech

Logan Paul fueled speculation that he’s on a collision course with UFC star Conor McGregor.

Earlier this week, the Irish megastar sent fight fans into a frenzy after revealing that he would continue to delay his long-awaited return to the Octagon in favor of an exhibition boxing bout with Paul in India.

“The rumors of a bout with [Ilia Topuria] are false,” McGregor wrote in a post on X on Tuesday. “I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India. I have agreed. I will then seek my return to the Octagon.

While many wrote off McGregor’s comments as just another troll job by the former champ-champ, Paul added some fuel to the fire during his appearance at the WWE’s RAW on Netflix kickoff event.

Paul used the classic Conor McGregor line, “I’m not here to take part. I’m here to take over” during the announcement that he would be a regular on the WWE’s flagship show once the program moves from cable TV to the streaming giant on January 6.

“Your approval means nothing to me,” he continued. “You are looking at the future WWE world champion and his name is Logan Paul.”

Could Conor McGregor vs. Logan Paul really happen?

Considering McGregor’s claim that the two would be fighting in 2025, Paul’s recycling of McGregor quotes from the past certainly came at a curious time, leading many to believe that there could be some truth to the Irishman’s statement.

It’s been well over three years since McGregor has stepped foot inside the Octagon. Despite the lengthy layoff, ‘Mystic Mac’ has continued to dominate headlines, usually for all the wrong reasons.

Conor McGregor has once again turned the spotlight on himself, this time calling out Logan Paul for a potential WWE clash. The UFC star wants Logan Paul in both boxing and WWE.

Conor McGregor vs. Logan Paul

In a fiery tweet on X, the Irish MMA superstar wrote: “TKO Group! UFC vs WWE. There is levels to this, a big sloppy novice is going to find out! TKO KING TITLE #BiggestGenerator #KingofNumbers #Streams #PPV I hold every record and I am coming back to KO this novice and rack in more numbers for the company. #StockMarketIndia #MyHighestPayPacketYet #Thanksforthecheese”

Conor McGregor Calls Out Logan Paul for WWE Showdown Amid Boxing Match Rumors

This comes on the heels of McGregor’s earlier announcement of a rumored boxing exhibition against Logan Paul in India, where he hinted at collaborating with the Ambani family. While no official confirmation has surfaced for either the boxing or WWE match, McGregor’s tweet has ignited conversations about a potential crossover bout that blends MMA, boxing, and professional wrestling.

Conor McGregor is widely regarded as one of MMA’s biggest stars has never shied away from expanding his horizons. The former double-champ is a record-breaking pay-per-view generator, having shared the ring with Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2017 in one of the highest-grossing boxing matches of all time. Now, it seems McGregor’s ambitions are aimed at conquering WWE, a ring where Logan Paul has made waves since transitioning from YouTube stardom.

Logan Paul has become a polarizing figure in combat sports, blending athleticism with entertainment. After an exhibition boxing match with Mayweather and a stint in influencer boxing, Paul shifted his focus to WWE, where he captured the United States Championship in 2023 by defeating Rey Mysterio. Paul’s performances have drawn widespread praise, especially given his relatively short tenure in wrestling.

UFC vs. WWE

The potential match between Conor McGregor and Logan Paul would be a bridge between UFC and WWE under their new parent company, TKO Group Holdings. The merger in 2023 brought together two of the biggest brands in combat sports and entertainment, opening the door to high-profile crossovers.

McGregor’s tweet teases his return to the spotlight, whether inside the ring or the Octagon. As he continues to leverage his star power and showmanship, fans are left wondering: Will McGregor step into WWE’s squared circle to face Logan Paul, or will they settle their rivalry in the boxing ring first?

8-0 MMA Prospect To Make Pro Wrestling Debut Against Former WWE Star Matt Riddle

With an undefeated record of 8-0, flyweight talent Phumi Nkuta is someone that fight fans have had their eyes on for some time. The CFFC and Peak Fighting champion is a name that has been tipped for big things but it looks like his MMA career is being put on hold. If there’s one thing […]

If there’s one thing that has held Nkuta back in his MMA career, it’s his activity after he had nearly two years out from 2021-2023 due to an injury. Now, he’s looking to progress in a new field by making his professional wrestling debut as House Of Glory’s upcoming event in New York.

On December 20, HOG “Live For The Moment” will take place at the NYC Arena with a card that boasts the HOG return of one of the most iconic teams in all of wrestling, The Hardy Boyz. Nkuta will also feature on the card against a name and face that will be familiar to both wrestling and MMA fans.

Matt Riddle came into the UFC via the seventh season of The Ultimate Fighter and would go on to fight inside the Octagon 12 times before being released from the promotion in 2013. Aside from one comeback fight earlier this year in Titan FC, Riddle then left MMA behind to pursue pro wrestling where he would go on to become a major star in the WWE.

Following several suspensions and controversies, he left the WWE in 2023 and has been working for several other promotions on the independent circuit ever since. He recently made his debut for TNA at their “Turning Point” event on November 29. Now, it will be him that is welcoming an MMA fighter through the ropes on December 20.

Logan Paul Faces Allegations of Crypto Misconduct Amid Ongoing Legal Battles

Despite already facing a multi-million dollar lawsuit, Logan Paul is facing some new questions regarding his sketchy history with…

Despite already facing a multi-million dollar lawsuit, Logan Paul is facing some new questions regarding his sketchy history with cryptocurrency and whether or not he misled his fans to rake in profits.

Paul is currently in the midst of a lawsuit over a failed crypto project called CryptoZoo. However, according to a report from the BBC, new evidence suggests that the YouTube star promoted multiple investments without revealing he had a financial interest in them. Per the report, the BBC claims to have uncovered that shortly before Paul tweeted about a particular crypto coin in 2021, an anonymous crypto wallet with close connections to his public wallet had traded in the coin.

That anonymous wallet went on to make $120,000.

In 2021, Paul also promoted a series of extremely high-risk crypto tokens called meme coins — tokens that are typically inspired by internet jokes or memes and are supported by online communities.

Recently, the BBC attempted to interview Paul and get his side of the story as part of a documentary titled ‘Logan Paul: Bad Influence?’ by filmmaker Matt Shea.

After refusing to share his side of the story for the last several months, Paul finally gave the BBC the go-ahead to fly out to Puerto Rico for a sit-down interview. When the crew arrived, they were met by a Logan Paul lookalike who turned up in the WWE Superstar’s place. Shortly after, a crowd shouting abuse about the BBC arrived, including a man with a megaphone who led chants of “BBC is vile. They hire pedophiles.”

The BBC also received a letter from Paul’s lawyers advising them that publishing their findings could bring about potential consequences for the British Broadcasting Corporation.

“Rather than defend himself about the allegations we’ve been investigating, Logan decided to troll us,” Shea says in a recently released clip from the documentary.

Logan Paul’s cryptocurrency woes are far from over

In 2021, Paul announced CryptoZoo — a cryptocurrency made up of eggs they could purchase in a digital game. Players were then supposed to be able to hatch those eggs, raising animals that would act as NFTs, or non-fungible tokens. Those animals could be bred to create hybrid creatures, offering holders an opportunity to sell off their more unique animals for crypto.

Paul made big promises and hyped it on his various social media channels. As it turns out, the game didn’t even exist.

“Defendants promoted CryptoZoo’s products using Mr. Paul’s online platforms to consumers unfamiliar with digital currency products, leading to tens of thousands of people purchasing said products,” a class-action lawsuit filing from February 2023 read. “Unbeknownst to the customers, the game did not work or never existed, and the Defendants manipulated the digital currency market for Zoo Tokens to their advantage.”

After finishing the sale of all the CryptoZoo NFTs, the defendants and others “transferred millions of dollars’ worth of purchasers’ cryptocurrency to, among other places, wallets controlled by Defendants,” according to the filing (h/t Variety).
