36+ min ago (602+ words) Maycee Barber has now won seven fights in a row overall following her victory at UFC 323 Maycee Barber finally returned with a win at UFC 323 after a harrowing journey that kept her out of action for the past 21 months. Health issues that put her in the hospital numerous times sidelined Barber after she put together an impressive six-fight win streak in the flyweight division. In her first fight back, Barber survived an illegal up kick but ultimately used a solid ground attack to punish Karine Silva across all three rounds to get the victory. When it was over, the judges scored the contest 30-27, 29-28 and 29-28 as Barber gets the nod and continues her march towards title contention. "I'm not just happy, I'm blessed," Barber said after her win. "It's been a rough journey to get here. It wasn't really in the…...

37+ min ago (214+ words) " UFC (@ufc) December 7, 2025 Whatever concerns that Maycee Barber would be unable to continue her professional career were dispatched as she returned looking no worse in her first fight since 2024. The first round saw the two open the fight with several boxing exchanges before a takedown by Silva led to a rear-naked choke attempt and back control that lasted the second half of the round. "While "The Future" was able to avoid serious danger, Silva was able to maintain the better position to assertively take the round despite a late reversal and flurry from Barber. Barber immediately took Silva down upon the resumption of the action and began landing powerful ground and pound on a defensive-minded Silva. "The two had a hectic exchange where Barber briefly had the back and top position before Silva went for a triangle attempt that led…...

45+ min ago (385+ words) Home " MMA News " Maycee Barber " " We have you covered for all of tonight's UFC 323 results, including the women's flyweight bout between Maycee Barber and Karine Silva. Barber (15-2 MMA) will be returning to the Octagon for the first time since UFC 299 in March of 2024, where she scored a unanimous decision victory over Katlyn Cerminara. That victory marked Maycee's sixth in a row, but a slew of health issues have prevented her from competing until this evening. Meanwhile, Karine Silva (19-6 MMA) was most previously seen in action at August's UFC 319 event in Chicago, where she earned a unanimous decision victory over Dione Barbosa. That win was preceded by a setback to Viviane Araujo in November of last year. "Killer' has gone an impressive 9-1 over her past ten fights overall.

51+ min ago (256+ words) On Saturday, the UFC held the final Pay-Per-View of the ESPN era, and its final PPV at least stateside for the next seven years if not more, as UFC 323 took place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. With the exception of some non-U.S. markets, Pay-Per-View will be gone once the UFC switches over to Paramount+ in 2026. But there was one last big show to be had on Saturday, with both the bantamweight and flyweight titles on the line. In the main event, Merab Dvalishvili was looking to make history. The Georgian known as "The Machine" had already defended his title three times in 2025, against Sean O'Malley, Cory Sandhagen, and Umar Nurmagomedov. Now, he was booked into a rematch with Petr Yan, looking to become the first UFC champion to successfully defend his belt four times in a calendar year....

55+ min ago (187+ words) Dec 6, 2025 | 8:56 PM EST What stood out wasn't just the edge in his tone but also the confidence it conveyed. He tore through Tsarukyan's previous controversies and performances without hesitation, fully expecting the narrative to remain under his control. Well, it did not. "Ahalkalakets' only needed one response to shift the entire exchange back in his favor. Paddy's outburst touched on everything: Benil Dariush "looking 65," the Charles Oliveira win being illegitimate, the fan-punch incident, "bad back" excuses ahead of the Islam Makhachev title fight, denying Gamrot, headbutting Dan Hooker, and even ridiculing Tsarukyan's grappling. It was personal, relentless, and delivered as if he'd been practicing it. Just one sentence, and Pimblett's entire speech sounded more like insecurity than truth. Arman Tsarukyan followed up with a warning in the same tone as Paddy's own insults: "Just make sure you're not the one…...
