      <description>Magomed Ankalaev would rather fight for a title. Until one is available, he&amp;#8217;s happy to shut Paulo Costa up. Ankalaev dominated Bogdan Guskov before finishing him in the fifth round of Saturday&amp;#8217;s UFC Abu Dhabi main event, though the bout and its anticlimactic ending drew a chilly reaction from the Etihad Arena crowd. Costa, who [&amp;hellip;]</description>

      <description>The UFC is giving an Olympic medalist another shot inside the Octagon. The MMA promotion has officially re-signed Olympic bronze medalist Robelis Despaigne following an impressive run outside the promotion that saw the Cuban striker rattle off eight consecutive victories. Despaigne&amp;#8217;s management team confirmed the news on Friday, although the promotion has yet to announce [&amp;hellip;]</description>

      <description>PFL Washington DC has been dealt a major main event shake-up just days before fight night.

      <description>Justin Gaethje isn&amp;#8217;t giving Ilia Topuria a quick do-over. The lightweight champion battered Topuria for four rounds at UFC Freedom 250 on the White House South Lawn last month before the corner threw in the towel, one of the biggest upsets the sport has produced. Topuria&amp;#8217;s team has floated a December rematch. Gaethje shut that [&amp;hellip;]</description>

      <description>Dana White has seen a lot of stars come through the UFC. He doesn&amp;#8217;t think he&amp;#8217;ll ever see another Conor McGregor. The UFC CEO called McGregor a one-of-one, a fighter whose fame and business impact simply can&amp;#8217;t be replicated. Inside the octagon, McGregor became the promotion&amp;#8217;s first simultaneous two-division champion. Outside it, he delivered record [&amp;hellip;]</description>

      <description>Dominick Cruz has spent enough time in rehab to read an injury report properly. His verdict on Conor McGregor&amp;#8217;s knee is more encouraging than most. McGregor blew out his right knee 69 seconds into his UFC 329 loss to Max Holloway and has since confirmed the damage as an ACL and meniscus tear. Plenty of [&amp;hellip;]</description>
