Tito Ortiz:

Bellator 170 was the final time that light heavyweight legend Tito Ortiz competed inside the cage. He was victorious over rival Chael Sonnen in what some believed was a fixed fight due to certain factors stemming from the fight itself. Was it? Wasn’t it? Let’s hope not.

UFC London:

With 11 fights official for the UFC’s return to London, the main event still remains a huge mystery. The promotion has big names booked for other shows in the coming months so the interest in who could be put into the top billing is high. Who could it be? Listen and find out for yourselves.

Stipe Miocic vs. Junior dos Santos II:

With UFC 211 announced late on Wednesday, it was soon followed by the potential main event. A huge heavyweight rematch between current champion Stipe Miocic and former champion and longtime contender Junior dos Santos.
