If Max Holloway is a gatekeeper, he's Heimdall of Asgard! No one is getting past him! The Blessed One knocked off Arnold Allen in the main event of UFC Kansas City to hold onto his spot just behind the two featherweight champs. Edson Barboza, Ion Cutelaba & Brandon Royval also had impressive KO's Saturday. Over in the PFL, OAM & Sadibou Sy both stood tall as they took the first steps to defending their respective titles.
In the news, Nate Diaz signed to box Jake Paul in Dallas, and Jordan couldn't be more excited for the roadtrip! Jon Jones hinted at retirement but no one believed it, Charles Oliviera is out of his fight against Beneil Dariush at UFC 288, Leon Edwards doesn't want to fight in London again, and Alex Pereira is making a move.
"The Sweet Science" takes center stage this weekend, as Tank Davis & Ryan Garcia face off in what can only be called a superfight in Vegas, and former Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell has his 2nd pro bout. The UFC heads back to the Apex this weekend for a heavyweight main event of Curtis Blaydes vs Sergei Pavlovich, while Bellator and BKFC both put on double-headers.
