After years of constantly battling injuries, Whittaker’s body finally shut down on him. He suffered a staph infection in his stomach that went mistreated. To make matters worse than they already were, Whittaker came down with the chickenpox and for the first time in his career, he had to pull out of a fight. MORE: Inside fight week with Robert Whittaker’s coach Whittaker (20-4), who will defend his belt on Saturday against Yoel Romero in the main event of UFC 225, was devastated at the time of the illnesses because he couldn’t perform in front of his countrymen and the significance of the event....

Geoff Neal was squaring off against Frank Camacho in welterweight action. Early in the second round, Neal and Camacho were exchanging heavy shots against the cage. Despite eating an immense amount of punishment, Camacho walked to the center of the cage and screamed for Neal to bring it on. Neal backed off and invited Camacho to come forward. Camacho accepted the invitation. However, rather than Neal firing off another barrage of punches, he stepped forward and cut loose a vicious left high kick that knocked Camacho out immediately and sent him crashing to the canvas....

In case you didn’t know… At UFC 229, Khabib Nurmagomedov marked his first successful Lightweight Championship defense after winning the title at UFC 223 by beating Al Iaquinta, against former division champion Conor McGregor, who made his return to Octagon competition for the first time in almost two and a half years. Khabib, who pretty much dominated the fight from the get-go, had control of McGregor on the ground and didn’t allow the Irishman to create any particular opening, as The Eagle eventually won via submission when McGregor tapped out in the fourth round of the fight....

Khabib Nurmagomedov’s fourth-round submission of Conor McGregor to retain his UFC lightweight title won’t be how Saturday night’s UFC 229 is remembered. Derrick Lewis’ epic come-from-behind knockout of Alexander Volkov and hilarious postfight interview are already distant memories. Tony Ferguson and Anthony Pettis had a Round of the Year contender in their scintillating co-main-event clash; unfortunately, that, too, has become an afterthought. SN LIVE BLOG: Chaotic postfight brawl overshadows Nurmagomedov’s submission of McGregor...

Udinese are currently 15th in the league, five points above the relegation zone. Luca Gotti’s side have been inconsistent of late, having only won one of their last five league games. They will look to get back on track with a win against Genoa. Genoa, on the other hand, are 18th in the league. Andriy Shevchenko’s side have been woeful this season and have only managed to win one league game so far....

European soccer’s showpiece competition kicks off on Tuesday, with the usual suspects looking to lift the trophy. Liverpool is aiming to become only the second team, after Real Madrid, to win the tournament in consecutive editions since it was rebranded as the Champions League 28 years ago. Barcelona, meanwhile, will be desperate to make amends for last season’s calamitous semifinal exit at the hands of the Reds, while Real Madrid hopes to add a 14th European crown to its trophy cabinet....

German magazine Der Spiegel made a number of claims against City last month in a series of articles based on documents purportedly attained from whistleblowers Football Leaks. Der Spiegel’s reporting accused Sheikh Mansour’s City regime of topping up multi-million pound sponsorship deals with Abu Dhabi companies, using their owner’s fortune, in order to meet UEFA’s FFP stipulations. Further allegations claimed City were cut a favourable FFP settlement when they were punished for overspending by UEFA in 2014....

“Why not drive a snowmobile,” Cerrone told Sporting News. “I own an Artic Cat. We bought them because we enjoy doing things like that. I enjoy doing fun things and that’s definitely one of the things. Its a hell of a workout too and to just go out there and clear my mind and not worry about anything other than having fun. Its the biggest mental release as I don’t have to think about the fight and focus on going out and having fun....

Jones improved his record to 22-1 with a dominant and unanimous decision over Ovince Saint Preux in the main event of UFC 197 Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. MORE: Must-see photos of the week With the victory, Jones claimed the UFC interim light heavyweight championship. Saint Preux (19-8) was a late replacement for injured champion Daniel Cormier. Saint Preux, ranked No. 6 in the light heavyweight division, did not have enough to hang with the more aggressive Jones....

Oliveira accepted a UFC 205 preliminary bout on short notice against Ricardo Lamas and must not have had enough time to cut weight. The Brazilian tipped the scales at 155 pounds at Friday’s weigh-in — that’s nine pounds over the 146-pound limit. MORE: EA Sports’ ‘UFC 2’ roster features more than 250 fighters This was the fifth time Oliveira failed to make weight. As a consequence of missing weight, the UFC will fine Oliveira 30 percent of his fight’s purse and allow him to gain only 10 pounds before next weekend’s fight....

Cormier lived up to his words, defeating Johnson by second-round submission via rear-naked choke to retain the UFC light heavyweight championship. But the drama in the room was centered around former champion Jon Jones who is serving a one-year suspension for failing a drug test three days before his rematch with Cormier at UFC 200 back in July. Cormier knew Jones was in the building and had some pointed comments towards his rival....

A critical darling with devastating skills in the cage and an undeniable magnetism outside it, the Polish standout would finish high on the list of favorite fighters if you polled the demographic that watches just about every UFC event. Beyond that subset of the audience, however, Jedrzejczyk is less established and less revered; a champion with a hard-to-pronounce surname (it’s yemz-DRAY-chick) who has been a supporting act on a couple high-profile events....

In case you didn’t know… Max Holloway won the UFC Featherweight Championship back at UFC 212 by beating former champion Jose Aldo in a title unification bout. Following his triumphant win, Holloway was then expected to defend his title belt against Frankie Edgar at UFC 218, but due to Edgar eventually pulling out of the card, Holloway was once again scheduled to face Jose Aldo in a rematch and defeated the Brazilian for the second time as well....

But not when your name is Brock Lesnar. The former UFC heavyweight champion and current WWE titleholder was brought up once again after Jon Jones dispatched Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 232. Unlike after his last fight with Cormier at UFC 214, Jones didn’t challenge Lesnar this time around. This time he kept his focus on a possible trilogy with the current heavyweight champ. MORE: Join DAZN and watch more than 100 fight nights a year...

UFC 234 will be headlined by Robert Whittaker and Kelvin Gastelum. Robert Whittaker is on a roll as he is now undefeated in 9 fights. He won the Middleweight Championship after beating Yoel Romero but is yet to defend it. When his time came to defend it, Romero missed weight, turning the fight into a non title bout. Now finally he is set to face Kevin Gastelum who was his opposing team coach for Ultimate Fighter 28....

Saturday’s card was the first UFC event to have a full house since the COVID-19 pandemic shuttered live sports in March 2020. The 15,269 fans on hand at VyStar VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla., were treated to an excellent night of fights. In their first meeting nine months ago, Usman defeated Masvidal by unanimous decision. Masvidal stated that the champion lacked punching power. Usman made it clear that he wanted to finish the job in the rematch....

Jones is undeniably one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time. He holds a record of 26-1, with his only loss coming by way of DQ due to illegal elbow strikes. He cleared out much of the UFC light heavyweight division and defended the belt numerous times. In 2020, he announced he would be making the move up to heavyweight, vacating his light heavyweight title in the process. However, ‘Bones’ is yet to make his divisional debut and has not competed in over a year....
