UFC president Dana White unveiled his remarkable weight-loss transformation on social media last Friday. White shared a side-by-side image on his Instagram account, with one half depicting him in March 2017, appearing noticeably heavier in a blurry side view photo. In contrast, the image on the right, taken earlier this month, showcased the mixed martial arts executive in peak physical condition.

White had previously discussed his weight loss journey the previous year, shedding light on his motivation for shedding pounds. He revealed that he had collaborated with Gary Brecka to assess his life expectancy, expressing an obsession with mortality that led him to seek the biologist's assistance.

Angela Lee embarks on a new chapter in her martial arts journey.

The seasoned ONE Championship luminary bid adieu to her MMA career and relinquished her ONE 115-pound title during ONE Fight Night 14 in Singapore on Friday. Lee's decision follows her recent revelation in a poignant Players Tribune essay, where she disclosed that her 2017 car accident was actually a suicide attempt and that her 18-year-old sister, Victoria Lee, tragically took her own life in 2022.

In 2016, 'The Super Somoan' faced off against former heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar at UFC 200. Lesnar secured a unanimous decision victory that July and hinted at a potential full-time return. However, his hopes were dashed when he failed a pre-fight drug test.

Lesnar's presence at UFC 200 was made possible by a short-notice USADA waiver, a departure from the standard six-month testing window. This waiver became a point of contrast with fighters like Conor McGregor, who couldn't return to the cage without the mandatory testing period.

In a recent report by NZ Herald, it has come to light that Israel Adesanya, the former UFC middleweight champion, has found himself entangled in a legal predicament. Adesanya, a prominent figure in the world of mixed martial arts (MMA), was summoned to the Auckland District Court in New Zealand to face charges of "drink-driving."

The incident in question occurred merely 21 days before his eagerly anticipated UFC bout, a match that held significant stakes for the fighter.

The announcement of Paddy Pimblett squaring off against former interim champion Tony Ferguson in UFC 296 left fans somewhat surprised. On the surface, it appears to be an uneven matchup, with Pimblett boasting an unblemished record in the UFC while Ferguson grapples with a recent string of losses.

Pimblett's last appearance inside the octagon was back in 2022 when he clashed with Jared Gordon. Although he emerged victorious, the outcome was met with controversy as most members of the media and fans believed Gordon should have been awarded the win.

Israel Adesanya's wish for a title fight in Sydney has been granted, but now he finds himself facing the inevitable repercussions. These consequences involve defending his coveted middleweight belt against an unexpected contender for UFC gold – Sean Strickland, a man few ever thought would challenge for such a prestigious honor. Strickland, with little to lose and everything to gain, emerges as an unlikely threat in this high-stakes showdown.
