Conor McGregor has his eyes on yet another business venture. 

McGregor recently shared a post on his Instagram Stories claiming he is in “serious talks” to buy the subscription-based video platform OnlyFans. 

The owner of OnlyFans, Leonid Radvinsky, recently put it up for sale, quoting a price between $1.46 billion and $2.42 billion, according to the New York Post. However, he is reportedly struggling to find a buyer. But Variety reports that Radvinsky is negotiating a deal with an investor group led by “Forest Road Co., an L.A.-based investment firm that has interests in t…

Muhammad Mokaev claims he can stop fighting right now. 

Mokaev claims he doesn’t have to worry about his finances even if he hangs up his gloves today. The 24-year-old was seemingly wise enough to invest smartly and secure his future since his UFC days. 

However, with the current uncertainty regarding his fighting career, Mokaev just needs to keep competing to stay motivated. Having wrestled and fought for the majority of his life, the Dagestan-born Brit doesn’t know any other way of life.

“At this stage in my life, I can finish my career,” Mokaev told Home of Fight. “If it’s financially, I can finish my ca…

A little more than two weeks after coming up short in her bid for flyweight gold against Valentina Shevchenko at UFC 315, Manon Fiorot has broken her silence.

Fiorot dropped a hard-fought unanimous decision to Shevchenko in the UFC 315 co-headliner at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on May 10. While the Frenchwoman was able to make the bout a grinding affair at times, she still saw a 12-fight professional winning streak come to an end against one of the sport’s top pound-for-pound talents.

The 35-year-old reacted to the loss in a statement on her Instagram account.

"It just wasn't my day. A close fight, but no breakthrough. And even though it hurts, I know one thing: Everything happens for a reason,” Fiorot wrote. “With experience, I've learned to trust. God has a plan. You have to accept, move forward, and keep fighting, my life is a series of challenges. But one thing is certain: I come back stronger every time. And through it a…

A lightweight showdown between Terrance McKinney and Viacheslav Borshchev has been added to the UFC 317 lineup.

McKinney announced the pairing via social media. UFC 317 takes place on June 28 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and is headlined by a lightweight title tilt between Ilia Topuria and Charles Oliveira. In the co-main event, Alexandre Pantoja will defend the flyweight crown against Kai Kara-France.

McKinney has compiled a 6-4 record in UFC competition, with all of his fights ending inside the distance. All of his triumphs have coming in the first round, including a technical knockout of Damir Hadzovic in his most recent outing at UFC Saudi Arabia on Feb. 1.

Conor McGregor has found success after donning his soccer shoes.

While McGregor hasn’t competed in MMA since 2021, the Dubliner recently seems to have taken up a liking for soccer. McGregor recently flex a shoulder tackle during a game, flooring his rival player. 

McGregor’s dabbling in soccer appears to be serious as he has now led his team, Black Forge FC, to a UCFL Premier Division championship win. The former two-division UFC champ shared posted highlights of the 4-3 title win over Mountview CFC on Instagram.

“Elated and exhausted! Won a real tough league,” McGregor wrote. “Winning the league is always the major statement for a team to make! Very impressed and proud! Onwards and upwards we go! #BlackForgeFCWinners”

McGregor hasn’t competed since breaking his leg in a trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier in 2021. While he recovered within the next year, he didn’t get into serious return talks until 2023. After starring…

Merab Dvalishvili’s coach isn’t worried about his fighter’s latest injury.

Dvalishvili is scheduled to defend his bantamweight title in a rematch against Sean O'Malley in the main event at UFC 316 on June 7 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. “The Machine” revealed a nasty injury to his right pinky toe just two weeks away from his title defense against O’Malley. Dvalishvili appeared to have broken his toe, allegedly from landing a head kick on his training partner. 

While Syndicate MMA leader John Wood also believes Dvalishvili’s toe is broken, he not bothered. According to Wood, breaking a toe is nothing compared to some of the extremes Dvalishvili pushes himself to during his fights. Wood is confident that his fighter will show up on fight night.

"I'm sure he broke his toe... That's nothing compared to some of the things we've had going into a lot of the fights... He's going to show up and do his jo…

Jungle Fight 136, which took place on Saturday in Sao Paulo, Brazil, marked the beginning of a national television broadcast partnership with Rede Globo. At the conclusion of the event, Jungle Fight founder Wallid Ismail announced that the organization will hold a $1 million reais (approximately $180,000) tournament in the men’s lightweight and women’s strawweight divisions.

Ismael revealed that “Fight of the Million” will debut at Jungle Fight 137 on June 14 at Nilson Nelson Gymnasium in Brasilia, Brazil.

The men’s lightweight bouts are already set: Carlos Alexandre da Costa vs. Lucas Campos; Marcelo Medeiros vs. Bruno Guimaraes Santos; Eliwelton Travassos vs. Arcangelo Oliveira and Jorge Silva vs. Cleiton Morais.

Tom Aspinall isn’t the only one frustrated by the proceedings — or lack thereof — at the top of the heavyweight division.

Russian heavyweight Alexander Volkov is also feeling the effects of the delay in the booking of the heavyweight title unification bout between Jon Jones and Aspinall. This past week, Jones cast doubt that the fight will ever happen in a series of posts on social media. First, “Bones” claimed that he informed the UFC of his plans “a long time ago,” and later, he gave a less than encouraging assessment of his career status.

Volkov, a 36-year-old former Bellator MMA and M-1 Global champion, is well aware that his time as a top contender has a shelf life. “Drago” had a four-bout winning streak snapped in his last outing, a contentious split-decision loss to Ciryl Gane at UFC 310.

"As a fighter, of course, I have a negative opinion of the delay in the Jones-Aspinall fight, since my chances to fight for the championship title a…

Jack Della Maddalena doesn’t have a date for his expected title defense against Islam Makhachev, but it’s never to early to start getting ready for the pound-for-pound king.

Della Maddalena claimed welterweight gold with a unanimous decision triumph against Belal Muhammad at UFC 315 on May 10 in Montreal. With his friend and training partner no longer at the top of the division, that cleared the way for Makhachev to vacate the lightweight strap to pursue championship dreams in a new weight class.

“I think Islam is a better version of Belal,” Della Maddalena recently told The West Sport. “The striking on the feet, I think it’s easier than Belal because he’s more just he’ll stay in one stance. He’s more [of a] traditional style, but yeah, he’s the pound-for-pound No. 1 so it’s a tough fight.

“But I guess we will just watch all these fights again, make a solid game plan, then just start working at it. From pretty much now, I’m …

Khalil Rountree learned some valuable lessons from his championship opportunity last October.

The Tiger Muay Thai representative received a surprise title shot at UFC 307, where he enjoyed some moments of success before falling to then champion Alex Pereira via fourth-round technical knockout in Salt Lake City. That snapped a five-bout winning streak for Rountree, but he believes the experience helped him understand where he needed to grow in his fighting career.

"I think one of the most important things after the Alex fight, for me, was to continue to progress," Rountree said in a video on his YouTube channel. "So, after even talking to my wife and breaking down the video, thinking what could I have done better? Even though I put in a really good camp and I did my best in that camp, but I always try to think there's always room for improvement, no matter what.

"And so, a few of the things, I felt like I could have improved in my strength. I th…

A light heavyweight clash between Paul Craig and Rodolfo Bellato has been rescheduled for UFC Atlanta on June 14.

The Las Vegas-based promotion recently confirmed the pairing on social media. The bout was initially supposed to take place at UFC Vegas 106 on May 17, but it was scrapped on the day of the event. Bellato later revealed that herpes was the cause of the cancellation.

UFC Atlanta — also known as UFC on ESPN 69 — takes place at State Farm Arena and is headlined by a welterweight tilt pitting Kamaru Usman against Joaquin Buckley.

Craig is returning to 205 pounds after a brief stint at middleweight. He enters the matchup with Bellato on a three-bout skid that has seen him fall to Bo Nickal, Caio Borralho and Brendan Allen in successive outings.

Bellato is unbeaten in his…

When Cain Velasquez was released from a holding facility in Santa Clara, California, in November 2022 on $1 million bail, it unclear how the cost was covered.

As it turns out, UFC CEO Dana White was more than ready to lend a helping hand to his former heavyweight champion. During an appearance on the “Basement Talk” podcast, Velasquez revealed that White took on that financial burden. The UFC leader himself has never publicly confirmed that he paid for Velasquez’s bail.

“I don’t know if he gave out a statement or something beforehand when I was locked up and also he did pay my bail as well,” Velasquez said before sentencing (h/t MMAFighting.com). “So they’re helping.”

Velasquez spent approximately eight months in jail before being released on bail. He remained under GPS surveillance and was not allowed to leave his home without the court’s permission, which was granted on multiple occasions to attend professional wrestling and MMA events.…
