Undefeated 21-year-old flyweight prospect Abdi Iniestra finished Anthony Ramirez with a reverse elbow knockout at Lux Fight League 63 in Queretaro, Mexico. The strike landed flush on the jaw with three seconds left in the fight, in the style of Yair Rodriguez's famous Pantera Elbow finish of The Korean Zombie.
Jon Jones said he will more than likely not fight again, but confirmed he is still being drug tested and is leaving doors open for the future. The 39-year-old has been tested four times in 2026, according to the UFC's drug-testing records. Jones' last fight was his UFC 309 defense of the heavyweight title against Stipe Miocic, and he retired in June 2025 before later signalling a possible return tied to the UFC White House event, from which he was ultimately left off.
Plinio Cruz, best known as Alex Pereira’s longtime coach, translator, and close friend, is stepping into the ring tomorrow at Misfits Boxing. After losing around 30 kg (66 lbs), the 40-year-old is ready to compete again for the first time since 2019. But Cruz is no stranger to fighting. A former professional MMA fighter with an 8-9 record, he competed in organizations such as Bellator and M-1 Global and holds black belts in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and judo. Originally scheduled to face Misfits heavyweight champion Chase DeMoor, Cruz will now take on his coach, Gary Olive, following DeMoor’s withdrawal. After years of standing in Pereira’s corner, it’s finally his turn to step into the spotlight. Can Plinio make a successful comeback?
The fight between Francisco Prado and Ismael Bonfim will proceed at a catchweight. Bonfim has been penalized 25 percent of his purse as a result.

Tom Aspinall is the UFC heavyweight champion, and sparring World’s Strongest Man Eddie Hall kept him razor sharp. Hall, the 2017 World’s Strongest Man who famously deadlifted 500 kilograms, brought surprising striking skill and phenomenal raw power into competitive rounds that forced the champion to stay disciplined with his footwork and defense. Aspinall, 15-3 as a professional, holds the fastest average fight time in UFC history thanks to explosive hand speed and elite Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Hall has already made his own mixed martial arts debut, and testing himself against the division’s most devastating finisher showed his relentless commitment to combat sports in 2026. #ufc #mma #sparring #eddiehall #tomaspinall
Conor McGregor is the former two-division UFC champion now sharing his grappling knowledge with students in Italy. Best known for his explosive left hand, McGregor built his mixed martial arts foundation at SBG Ireland under John Kavanagh, blending precision striking with Brazilian jiu-jitsu and wrestling. His takedown defense and distance control helped make him the first fighter to hold UFC featherweight and lightweight titles at once. On the mats, he breaks down takedown technique, from level changes and penetration steps to finishing with relentless drive through the hips. In 2026, after a devastating knee injury cut short his UFC 329 return against Max Holloway, he continues passing his phenomenal fight IQ to the next generation of combat sports athletes. #ufc #mma #conormcgregor #islammakhachev #training

A middleweight matchup between Baisangur Susurkaev and Ryan Gandra is being targeted for UFC 335 on December 12. The booking has not been officially announced by the promotion.
Two-time UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland says he is fed up with his compensation unless things change, pointing to Conor McGregor's reported $30 million payday and Conor Benn's reported $15 million Zuffa Boxing deal. Strickland said he is contemplating moving to 205 pounds, knocking out his contract and fighting Jake Paul. He won his second title in May at UFC 328, beating Khamzat Chimaev by split decision, and has yet to book a title defense, with injuries and pay issues cited in his absence. It is not known how many bouts remain on his contract.

Ranking which UFC fighters would blow up on TikTok is one of mixed martial arts' funniest debates, and this nails it.

It follows the viral aura, roommate, wingman, partying, and Love Island tier lists of 2026, proving fans love ranking fighters on personality as much as records. Known for relentless swagger, explosive confidence, and ferocious presence, these dominant names make every ranking instantly debatable. #ufc #mma #tierlist #funny #viral
Islam Makhachev hasn’t LOST in 11 YEARS 😳 But he’s not the only UFC champion riding a crazy unbeaten run. Carlos Ulberg and Ciryl Gane are both past five years, while Petr Yan, Alexander Volkanovski, Justin Gaethje, Joshua Van and Sean Strickland are all building streaks of their own. Eight champions. Eight different runs 🔥 [ h/t @redcorner.mma ]
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. 🤯
Georges St-Pierre is one of the UFC's most dominant welterweights, and he's bringing his superman punch to England. The former two-division champion teaches a live seminar at Great Britain Top Team in Mitcham on November 15, 2026, a rare 2.5-hour session on the mats. GSP's trademark setup is simple: throw one or two kicks with the same-side leg, then fake the kick and fire the punch, because your opponent should be expecting something low. ESPN's Sport Science once measured that explosive punch at 15 feet per second, generating 2,859 pounds of force. Known for relentless precision and ferocious athleticism in mixed martial arts, St-Pierre remains the blueprint for the technique. #ufc #mma #gsp #technique #training
Hecher Sosa will face Abdul Hussein at UFC Saudi Arabia on November 28. The matchup is set for the promotion's event in Saudi Arabia.
Ranking the nicest guys in the UFC is one of mixed martial arts' funniest new debates, and this tier list nails it. Five tiers rank 15 stars from good guy maxing and top tier studs, through calling when I'm down and help me get home while drunk, all the way down to the blocked list, turning real reputations for kindness, humility, and chaos into a group chat nobody could survive. It follows the viral aura, roommate, wingman, partying, teacher, and family tier lists of 2026, proving fans love ranking fighters on personality as much as records. Known for relentless swagger, explosive confidence, and ferocious presence, these dominant names make every ranking instantly debatable. #ufc #mma #tierlist #trending #reels
