Since his injury, Mma champion Conor McGregor has been on a long break from the UFC. The fighter recently transitioned to films when he made his acting debut as Knox in Jake Gyllenhaal’s remake of Road House. The film was released recently on Amazon Prime Video and garnered positive responses.
Being one of the most revered boxers and Mma fighters in history, the Irishman recently mentioned that acting was much harder than trading blows in the Octagon. He said that he found it to be more daunting as there was more than just fighting and stunts. However, UFC commentator and podcaster Joe Rogan slammed the fighter for the claim and reminded him of his previous injuries in the Octagon.

The credit for developing the UFC into one of the most profitable promotions in the world should be given to CEO and President Dana White. The former boxercise coach and manager reportedly facilitated the acquisition of UFC by the Fertitta brothers, who reportedly changed the face of the Mma promotion.

Rapper Kanye West’s name was written onto an Israeli missile and Mma fighter Haim Gozali has taken credit for the stunt.
A photo was posted by Haim Gozali, an Israeli mixed-martial artist who was once affiliated with Bellator and has been very outspoken on the conflict between Israel and Hamas , often times mocking the death of Palestinians over these past few months, reports tmz.com.
He caught heat back in November for writing the names of Muslim UFC fighters onto a bomb that seemed to be on the front lines including Khabib Nurmagomedov and others who’ve expressed support for Palestine.
It’s unclear if he himself is the one that’s actually writing the names, or if he’s having someone else in the Idf (Israel Defense Forces) do it on his behalf, however he has taken the onus on himself.

Director Gotham Chopra worked with Netflix to create the four-episode series McGregor Forever, which follows mixed martial artist superstar Conor McGregor.
It showcases his career in the UFC and how his past fights have led to his success today. McGregor is at a point where he could retire soon, as the typical retirement age of a UFC fighter is around age 35, but he has no plans to do so. In an exclusive with uInterview, Chopra discusses McGregor’s success and how he will continue to fight past retirement age.
“Conor also has a work ethic that he’s willing to do the work and I’ve never been around him where he compromises on that, so I think there’s more fighting to be done,” Chopra said.

Khabib Nurmagomedov defeated Justin Gaethje Saturday night at UFC 254, continuing an impressive unbeaten streak for the Russian fighter. Then he announced his retirement.
“Today, I want to say this was my last fight,” Nurmagomedov said during a post-match interview in front of a nearly empty Flash Forum in Abu Dhabi. “No way am I going to come here without my father. It was the first time.”
His father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, died earlier this year from Covid-19 complications. Nurmagomedov had revealed his mother asked him to fight without his father in his corner. “I promised her this was going to be my last fight,” Nurmagomedov continued. “If I give my word, I have to follow this.”
Nurmagomedov ends his fighting career with an overall 42-0 record, including 13-0 in UFC competition. It was the Mma organization’s longest active unbeaten streak. He broke his foot three weeks ago, making his second-round victory even more impressive.

UFC president Dana White has finally capitulated to the realities of the coronavirus era.
While the NBA and NHL suspended their regular seasons, the NCAA canceled March Madness, Major League Baseball delayed Opening Day and soccer entities around the world scrapped matches, the MMA promoter insisted that UFC 249, the twelve-fight pay-per-view card on ESPN+, was a go.
White had already canceled three events in late March and early April, so he was doing everything he could to make Ufc 249, the April 18 event featuring an interim lightweight title bout between Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaethje, happen.
The event was first scheduled at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, with Ferguson facing the undefeated Khabib Nurmagomedov.

White noted, however, that the high-profile lightweight bout between Tony Ferguson and the undefeated Khabib Nurmagomedov remains on tap for April 18. “That will still happen,” White told ESPN in an interview today.
