Backup Fighter Revealed for Kayla Harrison vs. Amanda Nunes Clash at UFC 334

Oct 29, 2026 | 4:10 AM EDT As a top UFC women’s bantamweight contender, Joselyne Edwards rightfully deserves a title shot based on her position alone. However, her championship ambitions could be fulfilled as early as next month, after the promotion handed her a backup role at UFC 334 at Madison Square Garden. For Edwards, the backup role at UFC 334 would be a golden chance to fight for the championship. She has earned her place by riding a 5-fight winning streak at 135 pounds and finishing four of those opponents. Plus, she currently holds the No. 1 position in the meta rankings and No. 2 in the media rankings of the bantamweight division. That run poised the UFC to entrust her with the role of backup for the Harrison vs. Nunes fight. Despite Joselyne Edwards getting a potential life-changing opportunity, her road to getting her hands on a title fight is definitely not straightforward.…

Carlos Prates promises to ‘finish’ Islam Makhachev’s legacy in response to Ali Abdelaziz

Home » MMA News » UFC » Carlos Prates promises to ‘finish’ Islam Makhachev’s legacy… Carlos Prates has fired a warning shot towards Islam Makhachev after a recent post from Dominance MMA manager Ali Abdelaziz. Prates was expecting to challenge Makhachev for the welterweight gold in the UFC 336 headliner on Jan. 30, 2027. While Prates will be competing for gold, it’ll be an interim title at stake. He’ll be facing Michael Morales while Makhachev will wait to return at some point after Ramadan. Abdelaziz defended Makhachev in the midst of criticism for not accepting the late January date on his X page. “If You’re a contender. Islam is the champion and maybe the greatest fighter of this generation. Talk less, because he’ll make you look bad. None of you add to his legacy. He fights for passion, love of the sport, and the fans.” Prates fired back at Abdelaziz, vowing to put an end to…

Zaza Sor Aree, Mia Skeer Set For Vacant WBC MuayThai Title In Bangkok

Home » Muay Thai The December 7 matchup at Rajadamnern Stadium gives the Thai veteran and English contender a chance to fill the vacant super-bantamweight championship. Zaza Sor Aree and Mia Skeer have been matched for the WBC MuayThai women’s super-bantamweight world championship at Rajadamnern Stadium in Bangkok on December 7. The sanctioning body announced the pairing in an October 26 written post, bringing a Thai veteran and an English contender together for a title opportunity. The championship is vacant. WBC MuayThai’s current women’s rankings explicitly mark the 122-pound belt as unoccupied and reserved for that date at the Bangkok venue. The winner would fill that opening rather than take the belt from a reigning champion. The listed limit is 55.338 kilograms, four pounds above bantamweight. The same rankings place Zaza fourth among the super-bantamweight contenders. Skeer…

Jose Aldo Reveals His Tears After Conor McGregor KO Weren’t About Losing

Oct 29, 2026 | 2:04 AM EDT For Jose Aldo, losing to Conor McGregor at UFC 194 in December 2015 was more than a rough night. The Brazilian’s 7-fight winning streak in UFC and years of domination evaporated after the Irishman’s left-hand knockout ended the contest in just 13 seconds of the first round. The UFC captured the emotional aftermath of the defeat by releasing locker room footage of Aldo breaking down in tears. Over a decade later, Aldo disclosed that he was not particularly crying about the defeat itself. In an interview with Mundo da Luta, the Brazilian revealed his tears came after Dana White informed him that McGregor would move up to lightweight and wouldn’t face him for a rematch. Jose Aldo’s emotional breakdown was never simply about losing to Conor McGregor. It was Aldo realizing that his chance at redemption had slipped away for good. That truth comes into focus when we…
