In last night's UFC Fight Night, undefeated French Heavyweight, Ciryl Gane defeated fellow up and comer, Alexander Volkov via unanimous decision. Gane looked very sharp and conditioned, proving to be the much quicker and accurate striker and putting the pressure on the Russian, Volkov. Did Ciryl Gane do enough to cement himself in title discussions, or does "Bon Gamin" need to prove he can finish fights before getting a Heavyweight title crack?
In his 140 pound debut, Gervonta Davis lived up to his nickname, "Tank", scoring an explosive TKO late in the WBA title fight against reigning champion, Mario Barrios! Gervonta demonstrated great finishing power, electric speed and possibly, above all, an iron chin, even against much larger opposition like Barrios.

In his return to boxing post loss to Teofimo Lopez, Vasiliy "Loma" Lomachenko dominated Masayoshi Nakatani in prolific champion, handing him the first TKO loss of his excellent career. This was almost a throwback to a Loma of old, but possible even better. Lomachenko had been dealing with a shoulder injury for some time leading into the fight with Lopez, and had it surgically repaired after the loss. The shoulder seemed to be no issue for Loma in his return, putting together beautiful combinations and displaying superb footwork. One thing is for sure, Vasiliy Lomachenko is back in title contention and we could see a rematch with young superstar, Teofimo Lopez in the not so distant future!
This Saturday, up and coming Pay Per View draw, Gervonta "Tank" Davis will face possibly his toughest challenge to date, as he moves up to 140 pounds to take on champion, Mario Barrios for the WBA super lightweight title. Davis is much shorter and smaller than his opponent Barrios, but "Tank" has demonstrated tremendous punching power and precision as his great equalizer. Can Gervonta prove successful in his move up to 140, or will the larger champion, Mario Barrios spoil his super lightweight debut?
Arguably the greatest amateur boxer of all time, Vasyl Lomachenko will make his much anticipated return to the boxing ring this Saturday, June 26th against Japan's Masayoshi Nakatani. This will be the first time Loma has entered the ring since his loss to rising superstar, Teofimo Lopez, and a shoulder surgery that followed.

There seems to be trouble in Texas, and the boxing super fight between Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and Billy Joe Saunders could potentially be off. Many of the members of the Billy Joe camp have expressed a displeasure with the size of the ring that has been constructed for the match, and Billy Joe's father has even said that they're packing their bags and heading home to England if the ring isn't at least 22ft.

In this video, we discuss the incredible performance by Jiri Prochazka and talk about the title fight that is supposedly next for the Czech fighter!
Andy Ruiz made his much anticipated return to the ring against a very tough and ready Chris Arreola. Sporting a much slimmer figure, and some new boxing skills taught to him courtesy of Eddy Reynoso, Ruiz looked to make quick work of the 40 year old Arreola. What we ended up getting was a classic Mexican boxing war, played out at heavyweight! Arreola dropped Ruiz in the early rounds, and hurt him several more times throughout the fight. In the end, Ruiz did enough to win most of the later rounds and secure a unanimous decision victory.

The Notorious McGregor looked good in many exchanges in the first round of the last fight with Dustin, but ultimately made some mistakes that cost him the fight. What does Conor McGregor need to do in order to be successful in the trilogy? What does Dustin Poirier need to do if he is going to take out The Notorious one once again?
Patrício Pitbull is truly a remarkable fighter, and he proved that again to us at Bellator 255, submitting Emmanuel Sanchez with a beautiful guillotine choke that started from the standing position.

How does Volkanovski make it 20 wins in a row?
Israel Adesanya made the latest attempt at becoming a Champ Champ at UFC 259. Unfortunately for Adesanya, he was bested by Polish champion, Jan Blachowicz. who proved to be too much for the rising star from Nigeria.
