After two cancellations, Marcos Galvao and Eduardo Dantas are once again slated to rematch for the bantamweight crown in the main event of Bellator 156 on June 17, the promotion announced Monday.

In the wake of last fall's breakup between Team Alpha Male leader Urijah Faber and former UFC bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw, all sorts of accusations and insinuations were made by both sides.

Joseph Benavidez's timing probably could have been better, but his message to Henry Cejudo still got through loud and clear.

Just a question. Short and sweet.

Before McGregor, his last loss was 10 years prior. But he won the WEC belt in 2009.

Just seeing a lot of people getting this confused somehow, so I figured I'd enlighten those that are in the dark.

A strawweight bout between Poland's Karolina Kowalkiewicz and Heather Jo Clark has been made official for the UFC's maiden venture into The Netherlands.

That Benson Henderson defected from the UFC to Bellator as a free agent may or may not go down as a groundbreaking movement to inspire others to test their worth. But it certainly is in keeping with Henderson’s tendency to march to the beat of an entirely different drum circle.

Dillashaw had campaigned for an immediate rematch with Cruz but the promotion awarded the shot to his old coach and new rival, Urijah Faber.

Faber will challenge for Cruz's title a second time in a rubber match June 4 at UFC 199 following bouts in 2007 and 2011, the later won by Cruz. Dillashaw isn't happy about it. Читать дальше...

The MMA Hour is back in your life. Below is a rundown of Monday's show.

PHOENIX -- Four years after their fight on FOX, retired middleweight Chael Sonnen and UFC contender Michael Bisping met once more in an exhibition grappling match Sunday night at UR Fight -- the smorgasbord online pay-per-view from UR Show which also featured MMA, pro wrestling, and the boxing return of Roy Jones Jr. at the Celebrity Theatre.

MMA Fighting has UR Fight results for its upcoming UR Show event Sunday night, March 20 at the Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix, Ariz.

It wasn't long ago that Demetrious Johnson had no idea who Henry Cejudo was. Cejudo only landed on Johnson's radar due to some negative press.

The UFC has mostly always delivered in match-making. Joe Silva, Dana White, and the Fertita bros., have for the most part put on fights that the fans want. But fans are always itching for more, and thus we create fictitious universes where the best of the best fight each other on forums and blogs and heck, even in the new UFC 2 game.

So many times over the course of his career, Michael Bisping has found himself on the verge of a middleweight title shot.
