Kickboxing Superstar Gökhan Saki Is Ready To Shake Up The UFC
There’s not a ton of top-line UFC talent fighting this fall.

Adalaide Byrd Must Have Slept Through The Middle Rounds
Saturday night’s middleweight bout between Gennady Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez was a good one. The two judges who didn’t shock and appall viewers with their scorecards had it as a close one—Dave Moretti had it as a narrow (115-113) Golovkin win, while Don Trella had it as a 114-114 draw. All three j...

Asshole Rushes To Asshole's Defense
We haven’t heard from world-class shitbag Floyd Mayweather Jr. that much since he beat Conor McGregor in an extravagant fake boxing match and thank God, because he’s an evil moron.

LAS VEGAS, Nev.—“Man, I’m usually in a suit, but it’s too fucking hot today,” a scalper told me a few hours before the big fight. It truly was too fucking hot.

Mayweather-McGregor Showed What Boxing Has To Offer MMA
