From a $2 million bankrupt company to a $50 BILLION global powerhouse. 📈 Speaking on The Diary of a CEO podcast with Steven Bartlett, UFC CEO Dana White reflected on turning a struggling fight brand into one of the most valuable sports empires in history: 🗣️ "The UFC was purchased for $2 million, and if the Lakers sold for $12.5 billion, then the UFC is worth $50 billion. Everyday that I show up here, I’m here to f**ing win. I am addicted to chaos, and if there isn’t any—I create it."
Imagine trying to become a champion at Welterweight 💀 Ridiculously STACKED. Welterweight has always been one of the UFC’s deepest divisions, but it’s especially wild right now. Islam Makhachev sits on top, with Carlos Prates, Ian Machado Garry, and Michael Morales all sitting right around the title picture. And that’s before you even get into names like JDM, Gabriel Bonfim, Sean Brady, Belal Muhammad, Joaquin Buckley, and Leon Edwards, all ranked inside the Top 10. Then you’ve got Kamaru Usman, a returning Shavkat Rakhmonov, and a rising Yaroslav Amosov sitting in the rankings. The depth is so ridiculous that beating a ranked welterweight doesn’t necessarily put you next in line; it might just earn you another ranked welterweight. At 170 lbs, there are former champions, undefeated contenders, elite prospects, dangerous strikers, and established veterans all fighting for the exact same few spots. And with Makhachev defending the belt at welterweight, the division is only getting more crowded. 🤯

Conor McGregor is the biggest star mixed martial arts has produced, and his answers about his own greatness are explosive. Asked about his body at a weigh-in, the former two-division UFC champion gloated man do I look good at 170, while his go-to line remains I like to look good, my friend. In a Men's Journal interview he went further, calling himself the only fighter in UFC history with high-level knockout victories across three weight classes going up. McGregor's relentless confidence helped him become the first simultaneous two-division champion, knocking out Jose Aldo in 13 seconds at UFC 194. Known for dominant swagger and ferocious self-belief, McGregor's replies remain combat sports' most quotable answers in 2026. #ufc #mma #conormcgregor #throwback
Ilia Topuria is one of the UFC's most explosive strikers, and his sparring footage shows why partners dread him. Widely shared clips show the former two-division champion dropping partners with thudding left-hand liver shots, shoveling their rear arm out of position in mixed martial arts before digging underneath. Merab Dvalishvili admitted I can't spar with him anymore, adding every time I finished sparring with him I was like, thank God, it's over. Gilbert Burns claimed Topuria knocked out three Kill Cliff teammates in one camp while wearing big gloves. Before facing Justin Gaethje at UFC Freedom 250 in 2026, partners were heard begging him to work lighter. Known for relentless pressure and ferocious power, Topuria's dominant sparring remains one of combat sports' most feared reputations.
Aljamain Sterling is one of the UFC's most respected bantamweights, and his Rogan sparring knockout story is unforgettable. Nicknamed Funk Master, Sterling told Joe Rogan about a 2017 session with Zabit Magomedsharipov, then an unknown featherweight prospect, saying he threw a 360 spinning ninja kick and the leg wrapped around my neck, I closed my eyes. Sterling, fresh off a loss to Raphael Assuncao, admitted he was set up for failure, getting ragdolled by side kicks, hook kicks, and a devastating, explosive tornado kick that left everything blurry in mixed martial arts. Known for relentless wrestling pressure and ferocious honesty, Sterling's story remains one of the sport's most entertaining sparring tales, still resurfacing in 2026. #ufc #mma #aljamainsterling #knockout

A separate viral clip showed Jones sharing the same explosive technique with an Australian rugby team, walking the players through the setup. Jones used the strike repeatedly during his light heavyweight reign, becoming the youngest champion in UFC history at age 23.

TJ Dillashaw and Demetrious Johnson are two of the UFC's most explosive stance-switchers, and their footwork shaped modern MMA. Analysts group Dillashaw, Johnson, and Dominick Cruz together as pioneers of neo footwork in mixed martial arts, constantly shifting between orthodox and southpaw while throwing strikes mid-transition to attack from the opponent's weak side. Johnson uses stance changes to create distance from advancing opponents and ride out inside low kicks, while Dillashaw's shifting cross and head angles became signature techniques under coach Duane Ludwig. In a recent 2026 YouTube video, Johnson visited Dillashaw to learn how the former champion stays in dominant shape in retirement. Known for relentless creativity and ferocious technical precision, both men remain combat sports' most studied footwork masters. #ufc #mma #tjdillashaw #demetriousjohnson
🚨BREAKING: According to sources close to the situation, Usman Nurmagomedov has turned down a massive new offer from the PFL that was worth over 2 million dollars per fight. The company went all out trying to convince him to stay with a ridiculous amount of cash, especially with their momentum following the merger with Netflix. The PFL threw everything they had at him during their exclusive negotiation period, but it looks like money alone was not enough to lock him down long term. Once that 90 day exclusive window with the PFL fully expires, Usman is expected to make things official and sign with the UFC. If everything stays on track, the plan is for him to make his UFC debut before the year comes to an end.
