The return of Jessica Penne and Jodie Esquibel to the Octagon will have to wait a little bit longer.
Penne’s fight against Jodie Esquibel at Sunday night’s UFC Phoenix has been called off due to an injury to Penne, according to UFC officials via MMA Fighting’s Marc Raimondi. ESPN broke the story earlier Sunday afternoon.
The UFC released the following statement Sunday:
“Due to injury, Jessica Penne has been removed from her Sunday bout against Jodie Esquibel. The UFC Phoenix card,...
Fans expecting a striking showdown weren’t the only ones disappointed by how the Bellator 216 main event unfolded.
In a stunning shift of style, Paul Daley spent much of Saturday’s grudge match with Michael Page circling around the cage and looking for openings to take or trip “Venom” down to the mat. Considering that both men are known for their vicious KOs, this strategy was eyebrow-raising to say the least and perhaps worst of all for Daley, it did not lead to a win as all three...
An injury to Jessica Penne has scrapped her fight with fellow strawweight Jodie Esquibel.
Oh, you actually thought we’d have a totally normal UFC fight day without a bout getting cancelled at the last minute? You fool!
Former UFC strawweight title challenger Jessica Penne, who missed weight on Saturday for her fight vs. Jodie Esquibel, apparently has an injury that will render her unable to compete on Sunday’s preliminary card.
ESPN’s Ariel Helwani reported the news first, and the UFC...
A preliminary strawweight clash pitting Jodie Esquibel against Jessica Penne has been removed from the UFC on ESPN 1 lineup.
Cheick Kongo became the No. 1 contender for the Bellator heavyweight title Saturday night and talked big afterward. Champion Ryan Bader, however, is not impressed.
Kongo handed former champ Vitaly Minakov the first loss of his career at Bellator 216, earning a unanimous decision to cement himself as the next challenger to Bader’s title. Kongo’s performance was hardly spectacular, though. For 15 minutes, Minakov tried pushing the pace as Kongo was content to backpedal and look for counter...

At long last, Vicente Luque will enter the Octagon to battle Bryan Barberena at Sunday night’s UFC Phoenix. The bout was almost booked for UFC Fortaleza, a couple of weeks ago in Brazil, before landing a spot on the preliminary portion of the card in Arizona. In the end, Luque approved the change.
Even though he was hoping for another chance to compete in Brazil, Luque celebrated being part of UFC’s first event on ESPN. “The Silent Assassin”, who competed in two cards headlined by...
Michael ‘Venom’ Page had some harsh words for Paul Daley after their fight at Bellator 216.
After outpointing Paul Daley to win a unanimous decision at Bellator 216, Michael ‘Venom’ Page thinks Daley should retire as he doesn’t ‘see him going anywhere’ in MMA.
Page defeated Daley last night with all three judges scoring the bout 48-47 in his favour. Daley, who clearly was frustrated with the decision, walked straight out of the cage when the scorecards were read.
Talking to...
Paul Daley believes he was unfairly penalized in his loss to Michael Page and claims corruption was involved in the result of the Bellator 216 headliner.
Page defeated Daley in a close fight, earning a unanimous decision from the judges. Fireworks were expected between the two British strikers, whose hatred for each other has become apparent in a feud that’s simmered for two years. But, surprisingly, it never quite reached a boiling point Saturday night at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville,...
UNCASVILLE, Conn. – Of all the big names and potential fireworks fights at Bellator 216 on Saturday night’s main card, only one drew a raucous ovation from the assembled at the Mohegan Sun.
That was Bellator’s debutante Valerie Loureda’s TKO victory over Colby Fletcher.
The 20-year-old taekwondo master Loureda tried out an assortment of kicks on Fletcher, and ultimately landed one to the body that spelled the beginning of the end midway through the first round.
The official end...
Given that it’s been 30 months since Cain Velasquez last competed, it’s understandable that one might be skeptical as to how the former UFC titleholder will perform this weekend.
It wasn’t long ago that Velasquez was on track to become the greatest heavyweight fighter of all time. He won 13 of his first 14 fights, making short work of names like Brock Lesnar and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira before going on to win his eventual best-of-three series against Junior dos Santos. Unfortunately...
On Saturday night, in the main event of the stacked Bellator 216 card, Paul Daley and Michael Page finally stepped into the cage together for an anticipated grudge match.
Although Daley had some real success in this fight, using his wrestling edge to ground the action on multiple occasions, he ultimately wound up losing a unanimous decision to his rival.
However, he does not agree with that verdict.
Post-fight, Paul Daley took to Instagram to share his disappointment with the...
When Cheick Kongo handed former Bellator champ Vitaly Minakov his first loss on the main card of Bellator 216 on Saturday night, he earned himself a shot a reigning Bellator heavyweight champ Ryan Bader.
He did not hesitate to call Bader out at the Bellator 216 post-fight press conference.
“I had a great performance and I just beat the undefeated (former) champion, Vitaly Minakov,” he said after the fight (via MMAjunkie). “So the question is: Where’s my belt? Somebody used to...
Bellator 216 took place Saturday night at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., and streamed on DAZN.
In the main event, Michael Page advanced to the semifinals of the welterweight grand prix with a unanimous-decision win over heated rival Paul Daley. And in the co-main event, Mirko Cro Cop got even with Roy Nelson, winning their heavyweight rematch by unanimous decision.

Andrea Lee has had a difficult few months personally. For her, though, it also extended into her professional life.
In August, a warrant was issued for the arrest of Lee’s husband — and coach — Donny Aaron on a charge of domestic violence. Aaron is being accused of choking Lee, threatening to put a cigarette out on her arm and menacing her. The Shreveport (La.) Police Department are charging Aaron with domestic battery and false imprisonment, though he has yet to be captured by law...
The power in Derrick Lewis’ fists are only matched by the horsepower of his lambo.

Cain Velasquez, Daniel Cormier, their families, a few teammates and other UFC fighters and employees were sitting ringside at WWE Elimination Chamber last year in Las Vegas. They were there at T-Mobile Arena to see Ronda Rousey, the former UFC women’s bantamweight champion, make her first scheduled appearance as a contracted WWE talent.
By the time the show was over there, it was Velasquez who had caught a bit of the pro-wrestling bug. He and Cormier, the UFC heavyweight champion and...
