LAS VEGAS – When Nick Diaz made comments days prior to UFC 266 which questioned his interest in fighting, it turned some heads.
But UFC Hall of Famer Georges St-Pierre completely understands where his ex-foe is coming from. Ahead of his induction ceremony Thursday, St-Pierre related to what Diaz feels and spoke bluntly on the matter.
“I can relate to that,” St-Pierre said to reporters including MMA Junkie. “I hate fighting as well. I hate it. I did it because I used it as a benchmark...
LAS VEGAS – While he’s considered by many as the greatest mixed martial artist to ever walk the face of the earth, former UFC light heavyweight Jon Jones has never had a training regiment quite like the one he has now.
According to Jones (26-1 MMA, 20-1 UFC), his preparation for his yet-to-be-set heavyweight debut marks the first time in his entire career that he’s trained consistently.
Prior to Thursday’s UFC Hall of Fame ceremony where his first bout vs. Alexander Gustafsson was...
LAS VEGAS – Merab Dvalishvili has title aspirations, but if Aljamain Sterling is still champion when he gets there, he’ll put those dreams aside.
Dvalishvili (13-4 MMA, 6-2 UFC) is one of UFC bantamweight champion Sterling’s main training partners, so the thought of fighting his good friend is out of the question.
“Me and Aljo, we’re never going to fight each other,” Dvalishvili told MMA Junkie at a UFC 266 pre-fight news conference Wednesday. “We are good friends and we’re...
LAS VEGAS – Throughout his career, there has always been much ado any time Nick Diaz stepped on a stage for a press event. Will he show up? Will he bail? Will he present more thoughts than just a couple of “yes” or “no” answers?
Diaz’s interviews have never been standard. In fact, they have been the furthest thing from it – and could be one of the reasons fight fans still adore him after all these years. Even after six years away from the cage, that adoration was still there...

Joshua fights Oleksandr Usyk on September 25th.
Before UFC 266 happens in Las Vegas, there’s a huge boxing match in London that will have massive implications for the heavyweight division. WBO, IBF, and WBA champion Anthony Joshua (24-1, 22 KOs) will be putting his belts on the line against Oleksandr Usyk (18-0, 13 KOs) in a genuinely difficult fight to predict.
Joshua isn’t...
Alexander Volkanovski truly doesn’t like Brian Ortega. Volkanovski was supposed to fight Ortega in March but he tested positive for COVID-19 and the fight was delayed.

Ever the optimist, Nova Uniao founder Andre Pederneiras had plenty to say about his students, namely one former champion who has been with him for many years.
LAS VEGAS – The UFC featherweight champion unloaded on his challenger after Thursday’s UFC 266 pre-fight news conference.

Benavidez closes out his career with a 28-8 overall record and 20-8 in UFC/WEC competition, while Condit ended 32-14 overall and 14-10 in the UFC/WEC. Between them, only one claimed major gold.
Condit was a WEC welterweight champion with three title defenses before the promotion was absorbed by the UFC, where he claimed an interim title by beating Nick...
Things went downhill fast from here.
Another in a long series of reminders that it’s not a good idea to walk into an MMA gym and start picking fights.
We may be several decades removed from the legendary Gracie gym wars of the 90s, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t still a few people out there who didn’t get the message: that there are better ways to prove themselves than walking into an MMA camp and asking someone to kick their ass.
Case in point, an all new viral video...
