Kris Moutinho is the apparent winner of the Sean O'Malley sweepstakes.

Multiple outlets confirmed that Moutinho will face O’Malley at UFC 264 after “Sugar” announced the pairing on Twitch. O'Malley's original opponent, Louis Smolka, withdraw from the bout due to a staph infection. UFC 264 takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on July 10 and is headlined by a trilogy bout between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor.

Moutinho has competed almost exclusively for CES MMA while compiling a 9-4 record since beginning his professional tenure in 2016.

Paul recently donated $5,000 to a GoFundMe account started by UFC fighter Sarah Alpar, writing “Keep training hard Sarah, sending you positive energy for your camp!!!” Alpar started the account in hopes of raising $30,000 by December to help her train full time and cover expenses such as food, supplements, recovery, gym fees, doctor fees, travel, gas and room and board.

“Imagine a rookie in the NBA had to start a GoFundMe to play,” Paul wrote on Twitter. “I let Sarah know she has my support and contribution. It’s my honor and privilege to help fellow fighters in any way I can.”

Multiple outlets confirmed the targeted booking following an initial report from Ariel Helwani. UFC 266 takes place on Sept. 25 and is headlined by a light heavyweight championship clash between Jan Blachowicz and Glover Teixeira.

Suarez has not competed since a unanimous decision triumph over Nina Ansaroff at UFC 238 in June 2019. The 30-year-old Milennia MMA representative has been sidelined since then due to a neck injury. “The Ultimate Fighter 23” winner also owns triumphs over Carla Esparza, Alexa Grasso, Viviane Pereira and Amanda Bobby Brundage in UFC competition. All of her previous Octagon victories came at 115 pounds.

Louis Smolka has pulled out of a proposed bantamweight clash with Sean O'Malley at UFC 264 due to a staph infection.

Smolka’s exit was initially reported by Ariel Helwani, and the fighter’s management confirmed with ESPN the reason for his withdrawal from the bout.

The promotion is currently seeking a replacement opponent for O’Malley, according to multiple reports.

UFC 264 takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on July 10 and is headlined by a trilogy fight between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor. O’Malley vs. Smolka was slated to kick off the pay-per-view portion of the event, which airs at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT via ESPN+.

Smolka has been victorious in three of five Octagon appearances during his second UFC stint. Most recently, “Da Last Samurai” stopped Jose Alberto Quinonez in the second round of their bout at UFC on ESPN 19 on Dec. 5. The 29-year-old Hawaiian went 5-5 during his first go-round with the UFC, exiting the promotion on the heels …

Ciryl Gane is a solid favorite to claim interim gold when he squares off against Derrick Lewis at UFC 265.

According to online oddsmaker BetOnline, Gane is a -315 favorite in the heavyweight bout, while Lewis is listed as a +265 underdog. Odds are subject to change as the fight approaches. The promotion announced Monday that Gane and Lewis will meet for the interim belt in the UFC 265 headliner because reigning champ Francis Ngannou reportedly wouldn’t be ready to defend his crown by the Aug. 7 date of the event.

A Houston native, Lewis is currently on a four-bout winning streak within the Las Vegas-based promotion and is coming off a second-round knockout of Curtis Blaydes in the UFC Fight Night 185 main event on Feb. 20.

Gane is 9-0 since beginning his professional MMA career in 2018, a ledger that includes six triumphs in the Octagon. The Frenchman has scored back-to-back five-round verdicts over Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Alexander Volkov in his last two pro…

Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov has a pretty simple assessment when it comes to the third meeting between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor.

Poirier and McGregor will square off for a third time in the UFC 264 headliner at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on July 10. McGregor defeated Poirier via first-round TKO in their first bout at UFC 178 in 2014, while “The Diamond” got his revenge with a second-round stoppage at UFC 257 on Jan. 23. “The Eagle” secured submission victories over both men when he was UFC champion.

“It’s the same thing [as the previous fights],” Khabib told RT Sport. “If it’s the first round [for a finish], I’d back Conor. From the second and further, then Dustin [wins].”

Nurmagomedov retired from MMA following a victory over Justin Gaethje at UFC 254 last October, and despite the UFC’s best efforts to convince him to return, the Dagestani grappler has remained on the sidelines. Nurmagomedov is enjoying watching the lightwe…
