1+ hour, 30+ min ago (534+ words) Tyron Woodley once ruled the UFC welterweight division, but he feels he lost sight of what got him to the dance. Once Georges St-Pierre vacated the 170-pound gold in late 2013, it opened the door for some new blood at the top. The title bounced from Johny Hendricks to Robbie Lawler, and then Woodley. Of the three names mentioned after GSP, who held the gold for over 2,000 days, Woodley had the longest reign at 945 days. It was an impressive feat for "The Chosen One," who ultimately dropped the welterweight title to Kamaru Usman. In an interview with MMAFighting, Woodley was open about making the wrong choices in the midst of his title run. "At that time in my career, I lost focus and I was focusing too much on the lifestyle and too much on the things that came along with…...

1+ hour, 38+ min ago (221+ words) By JEFF POWELL IN MIAMI If the hoorah showman was hoping the heavyweight champion would be drained by fighting at his lowest poundage for years, Anthony Joshua has been quick to rain on that phase of Jake Paul's parade. As he came to the scales 1.6lbs inside the 245lbs limit imposed by The Problem Child, AJ insisted: 'I've made the weight easily. No problem.' Balancing this Friday's act between the accomplished and experienced Joshua and Paul the brilliant entrepreneur but smaller man was always going to be a delicate judgment. Jake Paul shows his emotions at the weigh-in before the big fight on Friday night Anthony Joshua had previously stood by his claims he would 'kill' Paul in the ring Joshua has weighed over 250lbs in his occasional bouts of late and to make this more of a fight than a mismatch Paul…...

2+ hour, 20+ min ago (423+ words) Years before Mike Tyson accepted a controversial comeback fight against Jake Paul, he registered his interest in taking on then-champion, Anthony Joshua. In 2005, Mike Tyson fought in what was supposed to be the final fight of his career when he was knocked out by Kevin McBride. Despite that, the 59-year-old controversially returned to the sport last year when he took on internet sensation turned boxer, Jake Paul, in a huge fight on Netflix. Paul's divisive boxing career continues this Friday when he takes on former heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua, in what is regarded as by far the toughest test of his career to date. And years before Tyson accepted the widely controversial clash against Paul, it was originally Joshua who he wanted to fight. After such a terrifying career in the sport, after "Iron' Mike retired, he consistently received calls…...

Rousey hasn't stepped inside the Octagon since late 2016. The UFC women's pioneer was stopped by Amanda Nunes via TKO in 48 seconds.

2+ hour, 42+ min ago (426+ words) If you needed a visual representation of just how absurd modern boxing has become, Thursday's weigh-in in Miami provided it in high definition. When the dust settled, Anthony Joshua stood nearly 30 pounds heavier than Jake Paul, confirming that Friday night's clash on Netflix isn't just a fight; it is a physics experiment. Joshua, a two-time unified heavyweight champion, tipped the scales at a lean 243.4 pounds. He actually had to mind a contractual ceiling of 245 pounds, a clause inserted likely to keep the playing field from becoming dangerous, and he nailed it. On the other side, Paul weighed in at 216.4 pounds. What makes this matchup even more bizarre is the road Paul took to get here. He wasn't originally preparing to dodge artillery from a British heavyweight. He was training for Gervonta "Tank" Davis, a 135-pound dynamo. When that fell through,…...

2+ hour, 56+ min ago (487+ words) The physical gap between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul became clear during Thursday's official weigh in ahead of their highly anticipated boxing match in Miami. When both fighters stepped onto the scale, the difference was impossible to ignore. Joshua registered 243.4 pounds, while Paul came in at 216.4 pounds, creating a 27 pound separation between the two competitors. The bout takes place Friday night at Kaseya Center and serves as the main attraction of the event. Joshua enters the contest as a former two time heavyweight champion with years of experience against elite opposition. Fighting at heavyweight has been standard for him throughout his career, and his frame reflects that reality. Paul, meanwhile, has spent most of his professional boxing journey competing closer to the cruiserweight range. Although he has gradually increased his size in recent years, this marks one of the largest…...
