Merab Dvalishvili dominated Sean O'Malley to take the UFC bantamweight title at UFC 306 at the Sphere in Las Vegas. In his highly-awaited title shot, Dvalishvili's suffocating grappling took over as he kept the now-former champion O'Malley in clamps for most of the 25-minute affair. Dvalishvili's overwhelming pace and cardio, combined with his disciplined game plan earned him 49-47, 48-47, and 48-47 on the judges' scorecards and the unanimous decision.

Demetrious Johnson's illustrious career in mixed martial arts has come to an end. At ONE 168, the 38-year-old took to the cage in his hometown of Denver, Colorado to announce that he is stepping away from the sport in an emotional speech. After making his professional debut in 2009 following an undefeated stint as an amateur Johnson would go on to compile a record of 25 wins and four losses with one draw inside the cage.

The fight got called off after the Venezuelan fighter landed two illegal blows in the second round of their meeting. With less than two minutes remaining, Rodriguez held Carnelossi on full mount. The first headbutt was not as violent as the second, but the referee, Mark Smith, warned Rodriguez to 'watch your head.' The fighter seemingly ignored Smith's warning as she slammed her head on her opponent's face immediately after.

On paper, the UFC 300 headliner should provide the kind of fireworks befitting the tricentenary card in Las Vegas this Saturday night. Both Alex Pereira and Jamahal Hill are frightening knockout artists and it would be a major surprise if both men were to see out the 25 minutes.  Hill was champion before having to relinquish the belt due to his Achilles injury, a vacant title claimed by Pereira against Jiri Prochazka. The bookmakers have Pereira as a narrow favourite but it is always revealing to see how fellow top UFC fighters past and present are predicting the fight.

'If he beats Mike Tyson, he's going to face Clint Eastwood next,' White told former UFC champions Kamaru Usman and Henry Cejudo. 'Clint Eastwood's 93 years old.'

In the main event of UFC 299 on Saturday night, Sean O'Malley goes toe-toe with Marlon 'Chito' Vera, with the bantamweight championship on the line. Vera is the only man to have handed the American an apology in his professional career, a loss that O'Malley dismisses as a fluke. The champion has risen as a safe favourite and he is growing in confidence all the time, especially after superbly dispatching Aljamain Sterling.

We're on Instagram, and he did text me before the fight that he was coming.' 'Don't tell no one,' he told me.' Well, I should keep a mystery,' Dvalishvili said. I knew he was there, and of course, I said hello to him in person.' In addition, the Georgian revealed that he wants to work with Zuckerberg in the future. The former has been seriously considering his martial arts preparations, and he recently appeared in rumors of a match with Elon Musk. We were supposed to train together, but he was hurt, and he's still recovering,' Dvalishvili posted. We'll be more secure as we become training partners.'

Conor McGregor or Khabib Nurmagomedov were one of the top fighters in UFC history, but he didn't have a list of the 100 best ever, and there was no room for them. The 37-year-old was the UFC's inaugural flyweight champion and ruled the competition for years. He left the sport after his six-year tenure came to an end at the hands of Henry Cejudo in 2018 and now competes in the ONE Championship, where he is champion once more.

Sean O'Malley has a 'weird addiction' to being the underdog, which could help him a lot this weekend against Aljamain Sterling. 'Sugar' is a large venue, with Sterling having established himself as a formidable defender, most recently with his points victory over Henry Cejudo.' O'Malley told ESPN, 'Aljamain Sterling is the best bantamweight the UFC has ever known.' He's in his prime,' says the narrator.' I think he's 33 years old, which is pretty much prime age. Both the male UFC champions are in their 30s. He's the best grappler in the division. I'm a striker. This is a striker versus a grappler matchup, so it's exciting.'

Just weeks after a spat over fight scheduling, UFC President Dana White gifted bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling a Lamborghini. The fighter, who is ranked sixth in the UFC's top-for-pound rankings, beat Henry Cejudo last month to hold his position, but White announced that he would face Sean O'Malley at UFC 292 on August 19th, leaving the 33-year-old champion worried he would not have time to recover. The 33-year-old has at least six months between contests.

The UFC continues to grow as one of the world's top sports organizations. MMA's biggest event has attracted several mega-stars to compete under its banner over the years. There have been numerous arguments over whether or not the UFC pays fighters well. Francis Ngannou, the former UFC heavyweight champion, has left the sport and signed an exclusive deal with PFL.

Aljamain Sterling has announced that he has gained more than two stone in less than two weeks after defending his UFC bantamweight crown. Sterling won by a landslide in a close contest for his third defense of his 135lbs crown.

After an exciting five-round match at UFC 288 in Newark, New Jersey, Aljamain Sterling defeated returning 'Triple C' Henry Cejudo by a split decision. Conor McGregor (pictured) said on Twitter: 'The best money I've ever earned.' Not a scratch on Aljo!Congrats Funkmaster! Henry Henry is a good little soldier, but give it a rest with these goals all the time. He has had sub-20 fights in his career. My little feints an all be ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha @ProtestWhiskey: He did split the splits like a stripper and was slapped on his a**.'

The Aljamain Sterling shunted Triple C back to retirement at UFC 288 in a split decision (47-48, 48-47, 48-47). Cejudo's grand scheme of a bold attempt to reach Alexander Volkanovski at featherweight was stymied at the first hurdle, and he has vowed to call it back a day later. The 'Funk Master,' who was fighting in front of a home crowd in New Jersey, was surprisingly booed, with the majority of the fans supporting Cejudo on his return to action. The octagon rust of three years out seemed to be there, though the former two-weight champion did display hints of the old glory, fight IQ, and wrestling pedigree that saw him previously dominate as chants of 'Henry' echoed around.

But O'Malley stormed in to confront him just 33 years after the 33-year-old New Yorker raised his arm in the octagon.
