If you're miserable when you're broke, you're gonna be really miserable when you make some money. The key to life is be happy. Figure out what you like to do, get up and do it every day, and be as happy as you can possibly be. Some of the happiest times of my life was when I was broke.
"I do hate him," Morales told Alvaro Colemenoro. "We don't have a very good vibe. But at the end of the day, he's still a fighter. I'm not gonna get overconfident if I had to prepare myself to fight him... That fight is gonna be intense if it happens... I think that if I were to fight him, it would be the first time that I would fight in a very aggressive way."
'Our new rules, 'Stand and Bang,' between Materla and Jungwirth, that would be something special. Now it's basically gonna be boxing with small gloves, with elbows also, clinch on the fence, but no takedowns, no kicks. And I believe this will be something special.'
"About the decision, about the fight, nobody stay happy. I think the only people who stay happy about the decision is my opponent and his team. The president is making the right choice with that, that's protecting the image of the company and not tainting their legacy and the sport."
If you want to make money, fight. One year ago, Tom was saying things like, 'I'm the active champion. I don't care about Jon Jones. I just care about the belt.' We all supported that because Tom was completely correct. And now one year later Tom is the one that appears to be holding out.
It's not open to the public, not open to real fans. When I picture people who gonna be there watching, I picture 'The Hunger Games.' When Katniss was at the tryout and the rich, snobby people at the top, not paying attention to her... They're just not gonna be paying attention to what happens in the cage, if they see a little bit of a blood, they don't see a knockout. But they're not a real fans, so who cares?
The sunset clause. Because we have to understand, the key here is the freedom, it's not the money. You can convert your freedom to money, but the key is the freedom. Being trapped or being held in a contract that you can't out of, and maybe you're not happy - is not fair.
It's hard not to pick Jiri Procházka's comeback knockout over Rountree Jr. when you consider how brutal those first two rounds were. Rountree appeared to be cruising to a clear decision win, but a brilliantly timed combination flipped the entire fight on its head, giving the former champion one of the year's most dramatic finishes.
Quillan Salkilld burst onto the MMA scene with the kind of poise, power, and finishing instinct rarely seen in a UFC debut, immediately marking himself as a problem for the lightweight division. Shot selection and ruthless efficiency made every moment he was in the cage box office, signaling that his rise isn't a flash in the pan. In a year loaded with strong rookie performances, Salkilld separated himself by looking less like a newcomer and more like a future contender from the moment the lights hit him.
Paramount+ will air all 13 numbered events and 30 Fight Night events in 2026 amounting to roughly 43 live events assuming there are no changes to the schedule. Of those events, several will be simulcast on network television on CBS. Compared to the last iteration, it is clear that Paramount+ has been designed with the idea of being akin to the WWE Network in that it is not simply made to highlight the biggest
"I have my own opinion on this, but it's not right to talk about the UFC being a PFL fighter. In one year, Usman has grown a lot," Khabib told Team Gorilla Fighting. "I'm fighting with him myself, I'm working personally. And from the outside, he's at least on the same level as them [Ilia and Arman]. A year ago I would have said we still have to wait, but now he's already at that level. Time will show."
