Just an FYI ...

There are some reports that McGregor and Masvidal are in talks to fight this summer. No truth to that at all ... That’s not the current direction and no talks surrounding that fight.

Alex Oliveira needs a new opponent for UFC Fort Lauderdale.

Ten days after the UFC announced that Cowboy was going to meet Li Jingliang at UFC’s return to Sunrise, Fla. on April 27, the Chinese welterweight was forced out of the contest

According to sources, Jingliang suffered a neck and back injury and hasn’t been training well for days. The company is currently looking for a new name to face Oliveira.

Urijah Faber tells Ariel Helwani that he was offered two fights last year: Cub Swanson & Korean Zombie.

Faber said he was tempted to take them, but he didn't want to take them on a whim.

Faber admits he is thinking of returning to the UFC ... He is still in the testing pool.

In fact, Faber was tested in the latest round of USADA tests added to the database.

"We're changing the name of the team to Team Alpha MMA."

Faber says it made sense as they have male and female fighters in the team.

Until someone dies from weight cutting, unfortunately. It’s gonna take a huge name, and it’ll eventually happen...

The news of the assault is nothing new. Supposedly happened in December and the story grew some legs in January. Conors team must have caught wind that the New York Times was dropping the news again Tuesday so McGregor felt the need to drop his own news early Tuesday morning.
