The fighter seemingly ignored Smith's warning as she slammed her head on her opponent's face immediately after.

In one of the most bizarre disqualifications of all time, a UFC fighter was disqualified for biting his opponent and leaving teeth marks in his opponent's bicep. During the match at UFC Vegas 89, Igor Severino and Andre Lima were locked in a confrontation recalling Mike Tyson's 'bite fight' with Evander Holyfield inside a boxing ring in 1997.

According to Sports Illustrated, the inaugural pay-per-view show at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas will take place on Saturday, March 11. Power Slap's debut means that UFC's Fight Night main card, headlined by a crunch bantamweight match between Petr Yan and Merab Dvalishvili, will be pushed earlier, instead of appearing at The Theater at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas at 6 p.m. ET.

O'Malley, the top bantamweight contender after winning over Petr Yan, told his YouTube followers that he went to Tijuana to get stem cell therapy to fix a lingering knee injury. After being sold on the benefits it could provide, the 28-year-old decided to inject an injection into his penis while being sedent.

Dana White, according to Aljamain Sterling, is searching for a 'last hope' to dethrone him as the UFC bantamweight champion. In the co-main event of UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, Sterling defeated TJ Dillashaw by a second-round TKO. Dillashaw suffered with a dislocated shoulder for the majority of his battle, putting him on a hiding to nothing, and he later revealed that he had been struggling with the same problem since April. The champion, who was disqualified against Petr Yan, then won the championship with a landslide victory over the Russians earlier this year, believes the UFC are clutching at straws when finding them challengers.

The UFC world was stunned when O'Malley was given the victory, with many supporters claiming that Yan was "robbed" by the judges' decision. Khabib questioned how'the judges came to such a decision.

According to fighters and followers alike, Petr Yan was 'robbed' by the judges in his decision loss to Sean O'Malley at UFC 280. The bantamweight tandem put on an amazing show, but there was almost universal recognition that the Russians had done enough to win on the scorecards. However, when Bruce Buffer's verdict was revealed in the octagon, O'Malley was given the green signal. Most onlookers were in the third round, with O'Malley's clever range giving him the opener before his opponent fought back vigorously in the second.

Petr Yan was so upbeat at the UFC 280 face-offs that he shoved Sean O'Malley backwards, and the sage is set for a big bantamweight match. At the press conference, the two traded verbal blows, with the American mocking his opponent's height. There was a palpable tension in the air in Abu Dhabi's arena when it came time for the face-offs. Before the Russians decided to violently shove him backwards with both hands, O'Malley loomed over Yan and leaned in. Following a bizarre meeting last year between Jeremy Stephens and Drakkar Klose, the UFC is trying to prevent such clashes.

On Saturday night, Dana White compared Sean O'Malley's dazzling chance to crack the big time with Conor McGregor's iconic Jose Aldo fight. When McGregor dethroned the Brazilian legend with a 13-second KO to shocked the world back in 2015, he lived up to all the hype and exceeded it. And with O'Malley facing former bantamweight champion Petr Yan on Saturday, the UFC president believes that now is the time for the young American's McGregor moment.

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.

Since arguing an early release from his UFC contract, Brazilian great Jose Aldo resigned from MMA. At UFC 278, his last fight came last month, when he lost a unanimous decision to Merab Dvalishvili. He was supposed to fight in one more with the UFC, but with the UFC announcing the news on Sunday, he had decided to abandon his Octagon career and walk away from the sport that he has dazzled in for the past 18 years.

It is a measure of how far MMA has come that no current champion in any of the male divisions has existed in the United States. The UFC has always strived to get their tentacles out across the globe, and now warriors from Europe, Africa, and Oceania are basing on the sun. The grip has now tightened, with only Aljamen Sterling, Julianna Pena, and Carla Esparza flying the banner at the top of their respective weight classes, where the stars and stripes once had a stranglehold.
