Nassourdine Imavov Defeats Jared Cannonier by Controversial TKO at UFC on ESPN 57

In a fight that should have brought some clarity to the middleweight title picture, the main event of “UFC Louisville” instead brought more confusion—though Nassourdine Imavov was not to blame.

In the main event of UFC on ESPN 57 on Saturday at KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky, Imavov and Jared Cannonier met in a high-level matchup of 185-pound contenders. The first two rounds saw both men struggle with the other’s weapons: Cannonier had his head snapped back repeatedly by Imavov’s lightning-quick jab, especially his double jab, while Imavov had difficulty with Cannonier’s calf kicks and his enormous strength and leverage when wrestling against the cage. Cannonier appeared to have the slight edge going into the middle round, landing the slightly heavier blows, including some vicious leg kicks, and it was Imavov who initiated the ground game in Round 3, quickly dragging the “Killa Gorilla” to the canvas, then taking his back standing. Cannonier managed to escape withou…

UFC Louisville Prelims: Ludovit Klein Busts up Thiago Moises

Ludovit Klein showed once again that he has one of the most accurate nicknames in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

In the top prelim of UFC on ESPN 57 on Saturday in Louisville, Kentucky, “Mr. Highlight” (22-4-1) knocked down Thiago Moises (18-8) multiple times en route to a dominant unanimous decision win. Their fight was characterized by each fighter’s willingness to engage in his opponent’s preferred territory. Moises, one of the lightweight division’s most dangerous submission artists, traded blows with Klein, especially in the first round, when he attempted head kicks and narrowly missed with a looping bomb to the head that left Klein visibly relieved. Klein, for his part, showed little fear of Moises’ jiu-jitsu, taking the black belt down several times including a resounding slam in Round 3. Their gameness made for exciting viewing, but as a strategic choice it favored Klein, who hurt Moises repeatedly and appeared to be rolling towards a f…

Marshall was 13-1 with 10 knockouts in professional boxing, and her power carried into the Smartcage. Vargas looked to trade and even caught Marshall with an overhand right. Marshall walked through it and pilled on the pressure until the fight was eventually called. With the win, Marshall (1-0) will look to a potential MMA bout with three-weight world boxing champion C…

Calvin Kattar, Kyle Nelson to Clash at UFC Fight Night Event on Sept. 7

Calvin Kattar will lock horns with Kyle Nelson in a featherweight bout at an Ultimate Fighting Championship event on Sept. 7.

Nelson confirmed the pairing on social media following an initial report from MMAjunkie.com. The UFC Fight Night event does not have a location or headliner at this time.

Kattar has lost four of his last four promotional appearances dating back to January 2021. After an absence that spanned a year and a half, “The Boston Finisher” returned from a knee injury at UFC 300, where he dropped a unanimous decision to ex-bantamweight champ Aljamain Sterling at UFC 300.

Nelson, meanwhile, is unbeaten in his last four outings. The 33-year-old Canadian was successful in his first venture of 2024, when he stopped Bill Algeo in the opening stanza at UFC on ESPN 54.

Rizin 47 Weigh-in Results: Horiguchi vs. Pettis Official; Case Comes in Heavy

[embedded content]

The bantamweight headliner for Rizin 47 is now official, as both Kyoji Horiguchi and Sergio Pettis hit their contracted marks at weigh-ins.

Horiguchi tipped the scales at 133.9 pounds, while Sergio Pettis checked in at 134 pounds. It wasn’t smooth sailing for everyone on the card, however. UFC veteran Johnny Case weighed 158.7 pounds for his clash with Noah Bey (156.4). Since he missed weight by 2.2 pounds, he is not eligible for victory, per Rizin rules. As a result, if Bey loses or the bout is a draw, the fight will be recorded as a no contest. Additionally, Case will began the bout with a one-point deduction.

Rizin 47 takes place at Yoyogi National Gymnasium in Tokyo on Sunday and will also see Kleber Koike Erbst (145.5) square off against Juan Archuleta (145.5) in the featherweight co-main event.

Horiguchi and Pettis initially met as part of the bantamweight grand prix at Bellator 272, with Pettis earning a fourth-round …

New date, same place, same fate#PaulTyson pic.twitter.com/ihfIOEllKW

— Jake Paul (@jakepaul) June 7, 2024 A new date has been set for the first live boxing event on Netflix.

Legendary heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson (50-6, 2 NC; 44 KOs) was previously expected to face YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul (9-1, 6 KOs) on July 20 in a modified rules pro boxing match. The two were billed atop an event at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Per Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions’ social media on Friday, the new date of the fight card will be Nov. 15.

The fights will be held in the same building as before, and it will still air live on Netflix. Additionally, the co-headlining bout remains intact and shifts to this date as well, as Katie Taylor defends her lightweight throne against Amanda Serrano. It …
