Volkanovski, 34, is reeling from his failed bid to become a double champion three weeks ago in Abu Dhabi, where he was defeated by lightweight champion Islam Makhachev in the first round. Volkanovski, who is eager to return to the Octagon, has been scheduled to face Topuria in February next year, with the 26-year-old on a six-fight winning streak that has caused tongues to wretch in MMA circles.

According to an expert report that will be used in the UFC antitrust lawsuit, Conor McGregor earned more than he expected for his fights between July 2015 and November 2016. The lawsuit is set to start in next month, and the defense lawyers for Zuffa have drafted a report to counter the group of fighters suing the UFC for anti-competitive business activity between 2011 and 2016. Part of the analysis has examined closely at the paychecks of some of UFC's top players during this period, and it has brought the sums of money earned by McGregor for five straight fights into focus.

When I was told that Conor McGregor had opened a pub in Dublin, a few things came to mind. I was expecting an overboard, overtly priced boozer in the middle of Temple bar to milk the tourists for all their worth. How foolish I was. It was far from what I had expected. Here's what you need to hear about the Dublin 12 pub.

The second greatest challenge to being inside the octagon itself is likely to see your loved one's body cross the line in front of a throng crowd. However, the Ultimate Fighting Championship, more commonly known as the UFC, has a very different life with their partners away from the bright lights of fight night. While some fighters are in long-term relationships with their childhood sweetheart, others are still dating ring girls or have fallen in love with female fighters in the game. On the world's biggest stage, MailOnline has taken a look at some of the underlying elements that fuel the ardent MMA fighters' rock-hard fans.

Dana White has maintained that he did not object with Conor McGregor's appearance at a Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship game, as well as joked that the Irishman was 'pounding a bottle of Proper 12'. When asked if he regretted McGregor's attention to a rival fight promotion, the 'Notorious' even stepped into the ring at the end of last month to face Mike Perry. Chad Mendes and Eddie Alvarez, former UFC opponents, also carried a BKFC belt and yelled orders to former UFC rivals Chad Mendes and Eddie Alvarez.

Israel Adesanya has backed his teammate Alexander Volkanovski to beat Islam Makhachev for the UFC lightweight championship. Volkanovski has been unstoppable in the UFC's 145lb weight class since debuting in the competition in 2016, and has won over Chad Mendes, Jose Aldo, and Max Holloway. Volkanovski is expected to start at 155 pounds against Islam Makhachev, the reigning king.

Jose Aldo will recall the seconds of ingrained footage of Conor McGregor bouncing back and forth before knocking out the Brazilian back in 2015. The way he tensed up sparked animosity fuelled by McGregor's verbal slaughts coursing through his body for 13 seconds. And then there was the startling realization of what had just happened as he regained his consciousness. This nightmare chapter will always be included in Aldo's tale, there is no way around it.
