UFC 306 Prelims: Dumont Takes Blood-Drenched Win over Aldana

Getty Images/UFC

Norma Dumont is becoming impossible to ignore in the Ultimate Fighting Championship women’s bantamweight division.

In the top preliminary bout of UFC 306 on Saturday at Sphere at the Venetian in Las Vegas, Dumont (12-2) took a hard-fought unanimous decision over Irene Aldana (15-8). From the outset, Aldana had difficulty finding Dumont, as she struggled with Dumont’s speed, lateral movement and diversity of strikes. The already competitive fight took on some added drama in the second round when Dumont opened up a huge cut on Aldana’s forehead. The deep, vertical gash, right between the Mexican’s eyes, immediately began pouring blood all over both fighters. The cageside physician allowed the fight to go to Round 3, and it ended up being Aldana’s best round, as she fought through the distraction of the cut and landed clean punches on the Brazilian. It was not enough to carry the day, however, and Dumont won the decision w…

Sara Collins Submits Leah McCourt in Bellator London Main Event

Bellator MMA has a new No. 1 contender at women's featherweight.

Fan-favorite Leah McCourt took on the undefeated Sara Collins in the Bellator London main event. "The Curse" came out looking to use her jab, but Collins (6-0) was able to strike first. The Australian put down McCourt (8-4) with a well-timed right hook. McCourt would survive some ground-and-pound, but Collins took her back and sunk in a rear-naked choke to get a submission win.

The tap came just 2:25 into the first round and has lined up a potential fight against "Cyborg" Cristiane Justino.Powell Edges Xavier The light heavyweight co-main event saw Simeon Powell get back into the win column following his first career defeat. Powell (10-1) came out aggressive on the feet, but it was Rafael Xavier that was able to score a flash knockdown after landing a perfectly-placed front kick. More adversity would happen at the bell, as a left hook from Xavier (13-8) floored the London native. Powel…

Michael Chandler-Charles Oliveira Rematch Booked for UFC 309 on Nov. 16

[embedded content]

Michael Chandler has moved on from Conor McGregor — at least for now.

The former Bellator MMA lightweight champion will face Charles Oliveira in a rematch at UFC 309 on Nov. 16. Multiple outlets confirmed the pairing following an initial report from Barstool Sports. UFC 309 takes place at Madison Square Garden in New York. A heavyweight title bout between Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic is expected to headline the card, but that bout has not been confirmed by the promotion. Chandler vs. Oliveira 2 will reportedly be a five-round, co-main event.

Chandler addressed the decision to take a different opponent after waiting to face McGregor since their coaching stint on “The Ultimate Fighter 31” in the summer of 2023.

“I got more promo, more eyeballs, more of everything in the last year and half than I would have gotten in three fights, and now I get the opportunity to take a title run,” Chandler said on his YouTube channel. “I beat Ch…

Merab Dvalishvili Explains Why He Would Never Consider Fighting Ilia Topuria

Merab Dvalishvili says he wouldn't move up to 145 lbs to fight Ilia Topuria, and says Ilia "destroys" him in sparring

He also says he could potentially move down to flyweight, but doubts he'll ever challenge for a feathweight belt

🎥 @pound4poundshow #UFC #MMA pic.twitter.com/ANNpuytg0p — Championship Rounds (@ChampRDS) September 13, 2024

Merab Dvalishvili has no plans of moving up to featherweight to challenge Ilia Topuria for the 145-pound title.

Dvalishvili gets his long-awaited gold bid at bantamweight against Sean O’Malley in the main event at UFC 306 on Saturday at the Sphere in Las Vegas. “The Machine” will get a chance to become the second Georgian to win a UFC title after Topuria, who knocked out Alexander Volkanovski to be crowned featherweight champ at UFC 298 this past February.

O’Malley has consistently been plotting a move up to featherweight to challenge Topuria for the title if he gets past Dvalishv…

If you’re going to @spherevegas to watch @RiyadhSeason #NocheUFC, look out for the 5 Easter eggs for a chance to win $25,000!!!!! pic.twitter.com/INL15ZsaoO

— danawhite (@danawhite) September 13, 2024

Dana White recently dropped a clue about the UFC 306 Easter egg hunt worth $25,000.

UFC 306, which goes down at the Sphere in Las Vegas on Saturday, has been confirmed by the promotion to be a one-time extravaganza. The card billed as Noche UFC Riyadh Season — marking the promotion’s first partnership with Saudi Arabia — is also a tribute to Mexico’s contribution to combat sports.

The main event will see Sean O’Malley put his bantamweight title on the line against Merab Dvalishvili. Meanwhile, Alexa Grasso defends her women’s flyweight strap against Valentina Shevchenko in the co-headliner.

The main card will have films playing, which have been termed “worlds,” with the fights as chapters in them. White recently ann…

[embedded content] UFC 306: O'Malley vs. Dvalishvili Saturday at 10 ET on ESPN+. Order Now!

The Ultimate Fighting Championship is pulling out all the stops for its highly-anticipated UFC 306 card, which will take place from The Sphere in Las Vegas and now the card is official after the weigh-ins took place.

The historic card will be headlined by a bantamweight title fight between champion Sean O'Malley and top contender Merab Dvalishvili. Both men made championship weight, as did women's flyweight champ Alexa Grasso and former 125-pound queen Valentina Shevchenko for their five-round co-main event. All other fighters also made their contracted weights.

One of the biggest stars in the sport, O'Malley (18-1, 1 NC) is coming off an impressive title defense over Marlon Vera, avenging the lone defeat of his career. "Suga" has been unbeaten in his last seven fights and holds victories over Aljamain Sterling and Petr Yan. The 29-year-old weighed 135 pou…

Leah McCourt and Sara Collins both officially made weight ahead of their featherweight no.1 contender bout tomorrow night! #BellatorLondon | TOMORROWLive on DAZN & MAX | 5:30PM BST pic.twitter.com/qkGWuioF68

— Bellator MMA (@BellatorMMA) September 13, 2024 Bellator MMA wraps up its busy September by returning to the United Kingdom for Bellator London.

All fighters, including headliners Leah McCourt and Sara Collins, successfully made weight. However, one fight was scrapped with no exact reason given. The official X account announced that "Eman Almudhaf vs. Daiane Silva is off the card." As a result, the card will proceed with nine fights.

McCourt (8-3) enters the main event off a TKO win over Sara McMann. It was a bounce-back win for "The Curse," as the Northern Ireland fighter previously lost a decision to Cat Zingano. McCourt officially weighed 145.9 pounds for the featherweight main eve…

Leah McCourt Aims to Cement No. 1 Contender Status After Frustrating Hiatus

Leah McCourt wants the fight she’s already earned and deserved: she wants Cris Cyborg. After Cyborg’s last win at Bellator 300 last year, McCourt, who also won earlier that night, entered the cage and faced off with the featherweight champion. However, to start 2024, the fight was not booked and McCourt is back again to prove herself as the top contender.

At Bellator Champions Series London this weekend, McCourt returns to take on undefeated prospect Sara Collins, while Cyborg prepares for her pay-per-view showdown with Larissa Pacheco at Professional Fighters League’s “Battle of the Giants: Brace for Impact” PPV set for Oct. 19. Talking with the media ahead of Saturday, McCourt reiterated her desire to fight the Brazilian and how prepared she is to prove her place after dealing with a serious injury.

After a scheduled middleweight title fight between Johnny Eblen and Fabian Edwards was pulled from Bellator London, McCourt’s bout against Collins w…

Priorities: Bellator MMA’s Luke Trainer Focused on Giving Back to the Community

Luke Trainer is knocking on the door of light heavyweight contention in Bellator MMA, but his goal and purpose is much more defined by what he’s doing outside of the cage. Trainer, whose parents have fostered children since he was 12-years old, has just as much focus on creating foster homes than he does his fighting career. So much so, he’s prepared to stop fighting when he’s made enough money to achieve those goals.

Talking with reporters at this week’s Bellator Champions Series London media day, Trainer explained that his focus on creating foster homes is something he takes just as seriously as a fight camp.

“I do a bunch of work with schools now. I work with children in care. My role is to go in there as a mentor figure, teach them martial arts, and then we have time after the session where they can confide in me. I’m just an outside party where I can give advice or just be a listening ear. Actually, after this fight, [I’m going to] get the win, …
