@KatieTaylor lands her Croke Park dream, looking to become a three-time Undisputed World Champion 💫

Take a moment and listen to this absolutely bizarre story from Holly Holm about her meeting with the referee before her first fight with Stefanie Han in Puerto Rico.
It just shows how some people in boxing view MMA fighters. Holly is not just an MMA fighter, she's an International Boxing Hall of Famer. Absurd.
"The rules meeting in the locker room was the most bizarre meeting I've ever had. He made me sit down face to face this close while we had the whole rules meeting.
He said, 'Any questions?' I said, 'No, sir, I'm good to go.'
Then he's like, 'You know, there are no elbows in this sport?' I was like, 'Yeah.'
He's like, 'Well, you come from MMA?' I said, 'I know, but I boxed before. Trust me, I'm good.'
And he's like, 'Yeah, but it's, it's in here.'
He's like getting in my face about it.
And I was like, 'I'm not gonna throw any elbows. It's boxing. I get it.'
You have to be nice because he's about to wreck your fight and you're thinking, do we already have a fucking problem?"
It’s been a productive week of meetings and conversations with venues, sponsors, and industry partners as we continue laying the foundation for the GFL.
We look forward to announcing the official launch date soon!
@AliAbdelaziz00@ufc You stole someone’s identity to get into America then snitched on all your terrorist homies when you got caught.
We don’t like you.
Scott Coker tells New York Post Sports his new MMA promotion will be doing a single weight class World Grand Prix Tournament throughout the year. Then they will buy free agents from the top down, as well as find new talent:
'The tournament format is gonna build new stars, but also we're gonna buy free agents from the top down, just like we built Strikeforce.
Strikeforce was a league that we built from the bottom up. Which means we signed Daniel Cormier, who had no fights. Ronda Rousey. No fights. We had all these great fighters that had no fights and we built their careers, but we also bought, let's say Fedor's contract...we sprinkled in with the fighters that we wanted and that's what we're gonna do here as well.'

🗣️Michael Bisping and Paul Felder Call Out Tom Aspinall regarding his injury:
“He thinks he’s above and beyond fighting in the UFC”
"I had a surgery, recovered, came back, and had a fight in a shorter amount of time than what it's taken this whole eyepoke saga."
