After months and months of waiting for his shot at the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Middleweight title — largely due to this — Yoel Romero will finally get his opportunity. The only problem is, it won’t be against Michael Bisping, and it won’t be for the real strap.

That’s because “Solider of God” is booked to tango against Robert Whittaker for the interim title, which is set to co-headline UFC 213 on July 9, 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada, since the current champion still hasn’t healed from recent knee surgery.

Georges St-Pierre finally revealed the reason for the delay of his UFC return.

After announcing Georges St-Pierre’s Octagon return against Michael Bisping in March, the UFC decided to scrap the fight earlier this month. According to UFC president Dana White, it was because St-Pierre would only be available to fight around November.

Stockholm gets rowdy with a fine night of European action.

For a card that a lot of fans (and media) didn’t have very high expectations for, this was actually a fine Fight Night card with some very good performances. It was also helped by the fact that it was a Sunday daytime card for US viewers, which takes the sting out of watching a longer broadcast.

Things kicked off between Garbrandt and a bodybuilder on social media.

Cody Garbrandt may not be fighting at UFC 213, but 'No Love' could end up squaring off against bodybuilder Matthew Kline Kader, who has 121k followers on Twitter.

The next UFC event is set for June 3rd at the Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Featherweight champion Jose Aldo fights interim champ Max Holloway in a title unification bout. The co-main event sees recent strawweight title challengers Claudia Gadelha and Karolina Kowalkiewicz go toe-to-toe. Also on the main card is Vitor Belfort’s UFC farewell bout will be against Nate Marquardt, while Paulo Borrachinha fights Oluwale Bamgbose, and “welterweight prospect” (you know this will be said) Erick Silva opens the PPV broadcast against Yancy Medeiros.

According to Dana White, Conor McGregor had some harsh words for top-ranked lightweight Tony Ferguson.

Many fans consider Tony Ferguson to be the unofficial No. 1 contender in the UFC lightweight rankings, but 155-pound champion Conor McGregor doesn't think 'El Cucuy' deserves a 'f—-ing dime'.

Glover Teixeira is hoping to fight the winner of Cormier-Jones with a win over Alexander Gustafsson on Sunday.

Forget Jimi Manuwa, MMA veteran Glover Teixeira thinks he should be next in line for a light heavyweight title shot with a win over Alexander Gustafsson at UFC Fight Night 109 this weekend.

Don’t get your hopes up that you’ll be seeing UFC women’s featherweight champion Germaine de Randamie fight Cris Cyborg any time soon.

UFC women’s featherweight champion Germaine de Randamie has yet to defend the title she won vs. Holly Holm back in February. It’s been assumed that Cris Cyborg would be her next opponent, given she’s the biggest star in that division and literally the only other women’s 145er on the UFC roster.
