Perth 's UFC 305 main event has been confirmed with Israel Adesanya set to challenge middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis

Turner was floored green in the first round but he lay on and out of consciousness for 12 seconds before referee Kerry Hatley intervened. It has left the MMA world incandescent, with the commentators in disbelief at the 'terrible' stoppage, which put Green at unnecessary risk.

After joining the Professional Fighters League (PFL) last month and seems to have kept his word, Derek Brunson said he was willing to fight in any weight class. If his first official portrait for the PFL is anything to go by, the 39-year-old is in the shape of his life and looks even leaner and bigger than during his time in the UFC. Brunson's official portrait in UFC looks as muscular as one would imagine of a professional wrestler, with his 6ft1in, 13.3 stone looking imposing.

After winning his first match in the UFC, Charles Radtke verbally abused the audience, but sadly, he wasn't the only fighter on the card to use the shocking slur.

Israel Adesanya may have lost all three fights with Alex Pereira, including kickboxing and MMA, but the betting favorite makes his way to UFC 287. Many believe he won their first battle and point to the fact that he was ahead in the upcoming two, before the tough Brazilian found the finishes he needed. And now UFC fighters are split on how the Miami match will be decided. Pereira's wealth and mental advantage over Adesanya could sway the opinion in his direction, but a fully motivated 'Stylebender' with the necessary experience and technique is a risky proposition.

The Canadian died yesterday after a battle with cancer, but had not disclosed his illness before his death. Theodorou, who competed in MMA 11 times before his introduction in 2019, had a record of 19 victories and three losses, but after losing to Derek Brunson, Dana White said it was unlikely he would become a top-five fighter. Theodorou was diagnosed with Stage 4 liver cancer and died as a result of his illness over the weekend.
