Daniel Cormier Named to 2022 UFC Hall of Fame Class

Former two-division champion Daniel Cormier will be enshrined in the UFC Hall of Fame’s “Modern Wing” in a ceremony later this year.

The promotion announced Cormier’s induction during the UFC 274 broadcast on Saturday night. The ceremony will take place on Thursday, June 30 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas as part of the UFC’s International Fight Week festivities.

“Daniel Cormier is one of the most badass competitors of all time,” said UFC president Dana White. “‘DC’ faced the greatest athletes in the world on every level of wrestling and MMA. He is also the ultimate professional. As an active fighter, he always took time for the media, which led him to become one of the best TV analysts in all of sports. ‘DC’ is one of the greatest ambassadors UFC has ever had, and it’s going to be an honor to induct him into the UFC Hall of Fame this summer.”

Cormier is one of only four athletes in UFC history to be a simultaneous two-division champion. “…

UFC 274 Bonuses: Michael Chandler Earns $50K for Spectacular Front Kick KO

Michael Chandler padded his bank account on Saturday night with a knockout that ranks among the year’s best.

The former Bellator champion received a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus after rendering Tony Ferguson unconscious with a spectacular front kick to the chin in their featured lightweight bout at UFC 274. After a competitive opening stanza, Chandler’s move abruptly halted the contest 17 seconds into Round 2, sending Ferguson face first into the canvas. It’s just one of nine front kick knockouts in promotion history.

Elsewhere, Brandon Royval and Matt Schnell garnered “Fight of the Night” honors and $50,000 apiece for a spirited flyweight scrap on the preliminary card. Schnell dropped Royval during an initial exchange, but after a series of scrambles, Royval jumped on a guillotine choke and elicited a tapout 2:14 into the opening round.

Finally, Andre Fialho pocketed the evening’s other $50,000 “Performance of the Night” check t…

Charles Oliveira Chokes Out Justin Gaethje at UFC 274, Lightweight Belt Remains Vacant

Charles Oliveira certainly didn’t fight like a man who had no chance of winning a belt.

Oliviera (33-8, 21-8 UFC) won his 11th consecutive bout in the UFC 274 headliner, submitting Justin Gaethje (23-4, 6-4 UFC) with a rear-naked choke 3:22 into the first round of their lightweight clash at the Footprint Arena in Phoenix, Ariz., on Saturday night. Because Oliveira missed weight by 0.5 pounds, the Ultimate Fighting Championship 155-pound title will remain vacant. However, “Do Bronx” is assured a spot in the next championship bout by virtue of his victory.

Oliveira, who now ranks fifth in promotion history wjtb 21 career victories, was defiant in the aftermath of his latest effort.

“This is a message to the entire division,” he said. “I’m a problem for the entire division …. I’m the champion. This is my title. It should be here.”

UFC 274 Prelims: Francisco Trinaldo Defies Age, Outduels Danny Roberts

43 & still going strong 💪

— UFC (@ufc) May 8, 2022

Even at 43 years old, Francisco Trinaldo still has plenty left in the tank.

The Brazilian veteran improved to 2-1 at 170 pounds, defeating Danny Roberts via unanimous decision in a preliminary welterweight bout at UFC 274 at Footprint Arena in Phoenix, Ariz., on Saturday night. All three judges submitted tallies in favor of the Evolucao Thai export: 29-28, 30-26, and 30-27. “Massaranduba” has won five of his last six appearances within the Las Vegas-based promotion.

Roberts had some success with rangy kickboxing techniques in the opening stanza, but he couldn’t match his opponent’s power in the long run. Trinaldo put “Hot Chocolate” on skates with a short right early in Round 2, and doubled him over with a body shot against the fence before spending much of the period in top position. Roberts (18-6, 7-…

Jon Jones Discusses Potential Target Date, Location for Stipe Miocic Fight

Hey look who it is!!!@JonnyBones #CES68 pic.twitter.com/Bs0HETER3u

— UFC FIGHT PASS (@UFCFightPass) May 7, 2022

Jon Jones has offered a little more insight into what might be delaying his rumored matchup against former UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic.

Jones appeared on the UFC Fight Pass broadcast for CES MMA 68 in Fargo, N.D., and discussed a potential date and location for his heavyweight debut. The ex-light heavyweight king was at the event to accompany training partner Maurice Greene.

“I heard originally it’d be July,” Jones said. “I think when Stipe got that date, I’ve heard he’s been doing a lot of weight-lifting and not a lot of MMA training. He wanted to put his best foot forward. I respect that. He’s a great champion. He deserves that. I think he asked for Sept. 24. I’m hoping that’s going to be in Las Vegas.

’ve been training about three times a day for about two years. I’m this close, why not wait …

A light heavyweight clash pitting Yoel Romero against Melvin Manhoef as been rebooked for Bellator Dublin on Sept. 23.

The California-based promotion announced the matchup on Friday. Romero and Manhoef were initially slated to lock horns in the Bellator 280 co-main event, but Manhoef had to withdraw due to an injury suffered while apprehending three men who attempted to rob his home. “No Mercy” reportedly smashed the burglars car window with his hand, resulting in an injury that required stitches.

Bellator Dublin takes place at 3Arena in the Irish capital and is also expected to include a lightweight clash between Benson Henderson and Peter Queally. The evening’s main card will air on Showtime.

UFC 274 Weigh-in Results: Charles Oliveira Loses Lightweight Title on the Scale

Charles Oliveira (@CharlesDoBronxs) #UFC274 Official Weight: 155.5

All Weigh-In Results: https://t.co/fAMu27WDxd

— UFC News (@UFCNews) May 6, 2022 Charles Oliveira's lightweight title run comes to an embarrassing end, as the Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight champion failed to make weight for his UFC 274 title defense against Justin Gaethje.

The drama began as Oliveira missed weight during his initial weigh-in by .5 pounds, which came as a surprise considering the Brazilian posted on social media on Friday morning that his weight was on point. "Do Bronx" then took an extra hour to cut weight, but once again weighed in half a pound over championship weight. As a result, Oliveira is stripped of the title, and only Gaethje can walk out as champion on Saturday night.

Thankfully, there was no issue in the co-main event, which sees Rose Namajunas put her strawweight belt on the line against former champion Carla E…

Kayla Harrison Dominates Marina Mokhnatkina in PFL Main Event

Two-time Professional Fighters League women’s lightweight champion Kayla Harrison was dominant once again, but her performance in the PFL 3 Regular Season main event on Friday wasn’t up to snuff and she was blunt about it.

Still, Harrison won virtually every second of her contest against Marina Mokhnatkina (6-3) and took home three points in the PFL women’s lightweight season bracket, winning a lopsided unanimous decision along the way. Harrison landed a few takedowns in the fight and dished out more than enough punishment on the feet, but Mokhnatkina was slick and continuously tried rolling the two-time Olympic gold medal-winning judoka into various leg locks.

Harrison never truly had Mokhnatkina in any serious peril, but she nullified every attack the Miami-based fighter tried. As the fight wore away, it was obvious that Harrison was frustrated and tried scoring a stoppage late, but Mokhnatkina was hip to her attacks and survived. All three judges…

Ryan Bader Cruises Against Cheick Kongo to Retain Heavyweight Crown at Bellator 280

It wasn’t the ending the Parisian crowd was expecting for Bellator MMA’s return to France.

In the Bellator 280 main event, Ryan Bader and Cheick Kongo battled for the heavyweight championship for the second time following their no-contest in September 2019. A few moments into the fight, it seemed that history was about to repeat itself as Bader (30-7, 1 NC; 8-2, 1 NC Bellator) landed a knee to the groin while clinching with Kongo, who needed a few minutes to recover. Once the action resumed, it was pretty clear that former divisional champion Kongo (31-12-2, 13-4 Bellator) couldn’t match his opponent’s wrestling pedigree. Thanks to relentless double-leg takedowns and suffocating ground control, Bader kept his prey on the canvas for five rounds, landing a few strikes from time to time to prevent any kind of resistance. The Frenchman struggled to resurge on the feet, but managed to contain damage. Ultimately, the cageside judges delivered 50-45, 50-45 and 50-45 scorecards for…
