Ilia is now headlining the White House card….

Back when Ilia Topuria was fighting on the prelims at UFC 264, hardly anyone outside the hardcore fanbase realized how special he was. Looking back now, it feels crazy seeing a future superstar tucked away before the main card even started. He walked into that fight with this calm confidence and violent precision that immediately stood out if you were paying attention. The way he carried himself didn’t feel like a typical prospect trying to survive in the UFC — it felt like someone who already believed he belonged at the top of the division.

What makes it even more interesting is how stacked that entire card was looking back. Topuria and DDP on the prelims is insane. Everyone was focused on the trilogy fight between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier, so Topuria kind of flew under the radar that night. But in hindsight, UFC 264 ended up being one of those events where fans can say they saw the early stages of a future champion before the hype fully exploded. It’s one of those reminders that some of the biggest talents in MMA history start out fighting in front of people still filing into the arena.

Max knew all along 😂

“You know how hard it is to keep that fight under wraps for how long we did? We knew that fight for a minute bro.

I’m excited, I get to eat what I want to eat boys... imagine I miss weight at 170.”

Charles Oliveira’s corner during the Topuria fight, they were begging him to get out of Ilia’s boxing range…

The UFC have stacked this one GOOD

Conor McGregor is finally making his long-awaited return to the UFC, and the matchup couldn’t be much bigger. Dana White announced that McGregor will headline UFC 329 on July 11 in Las Vegas, where he’ll face Max Holloway in a rematch more than a decade after their first fight in 2013. Back then, McGregor won by decision before either man became a global star, so there’s a real sense of history to this one. For fans who’ve been waiting years to see “The Notorious” back in the Octagon, this feels like the comeback fight everyone hoped would eventually happen.

What makes this fight so interesting is how much both guys have changed. McGregor hasn’t fought since breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier in 2021, and there are plenty of questions about whether he can still perform at the level that made him the biggest name in MMA. Holloway, on the other hand, is one of the most respected fighters in the sport and is known for his incredible pace and toughness. It’s a fascinating matchup between McGregor’s star power and Holloway’s relentless style, and whether you think Conor still has it or not, this is the kind of fight that will have the entire MMA world watching.

DDP IS BACK

He just revealed that his next fight will be announced “within the next week”:

“Within the next week or so, my next fight and opponent will be announced. It’s about time to get back in there.”

The most realistic next opponent for Du Plessis is Caio Borralho or Nassourdine Imavov, depending on how the UFC wants to sort out the top of the division. Both are legitimate contenders and would make sense as a No. 1 contender fight, with the winner likely earning another shot at the title. A third fight with Sean Strickland feels less likely right now, simply because the UFC usually prefers fresh matchups when there are new contenders available. If Du Plessis wants to work his way back to the belt, a matchup against Borralho feels like the kind of tough but meaningful fight the UFC would book next.

Former featherweights will meet at welterweight 😳

We’ve seen Conor fight at 145,155 and 170 - but we’ve only seen Max has high as 155. There’s definitely a lot of questions to be asked - how will Max’s style be affected by the added 15lbs? Will we see an increase in Max’s power? Will Conor - who has done a fight camp and competed at 170 before - overpower Max up a weight class? This matchup is insanely intriguing.

A big factor will be Conor’s time out, as Max has stayed fairly active and hasn’t had an elongated period out of competition since he joined the UFC. Max is also very comfortable with a firefight, and has 5 rounds in the tank. It’s going to be really interesting to see how both Max and Conor’s camps gameplan for the matchup.

Drop your predictions in the comments for how the new weight class will affect Max and how Conor will fare after a HUGE layoff:

Time to get emoted on by Ilia on launch day 💔

What are y’all’s predictions for the Gaethje fight? 🤔
It feels like one of those matchups that is guaranteed to deliver a KO. Topuria has looked almost untouchable lately, combining sharp boxing with serious knockout power and the kind of confidence that can overwhelm even elite fighters. He’s precise, patient, and doesn’t waste movement. Every punch he throws has bad intentions behind it, and he’s shown that he can stay composed even when the pressure is at its highest. Against someone like Gaethje, that accuracy could be a huge factor, especially if Topuria is able to catch him coming forward.

But counting Gaethje out has never been a smart move. He’s built a career on dragging opponents into chaotic, brutal fights and finding ways to win when things get messy. His leg kicks are some of the nastiest in the sport, and his durability is legendary. Gaethje has been in there with the best and never backs down from a war. That’s what makes this fight so intriguing: Topuria brings the cleaner technique and momentum, while Gaethje brings relentless pressure and pure violence. It feels like the kind of fight where one clean shot could change everything, and fans would probably be treated to an absolute banger while it lasts.

Was there a man who could make 155 who was beating McGregor that night?

Againt Eddie Alvarez, Conor McGregor looked like a fighter operating a step ahead the entire night. From the opening exchanges, he controlled the distance with that wide karate stance, drawing Alvarez into overcommitting and making him pay every time. What stood out most was how calm McGregor remained. There was no rushing, no wasted movement, just sharp reads and perfectly timed counters. Each knockdown felt less like a wild moment and more like the result of McGregor seeing the same opening over and over again.

It was one of those performances where everything he predicted beforehand actually happened in the cage. Alvarez was an accomplished champion known for his pressure and toughness, but McGregor made him look hesitant and out of ideas. The accuracy of his left hand, the precision of his footwork, and the confidence with which he dictated every exchange made it feel like a masterclass rather than a title fight. Winning to become the first fighter in UFC history to hold two belts simultaneously cemented the performance as one of the most complete and iconic displays of McGregor’s career.

WE ARE EATING GOOD THIS SUMMER

Conor McGregor is officially coming back, and it still feels kind of surreal to say that after all this time. The UFC just announced that he’ll headline UFC 329 against Max Holloway on July 11 in Las Vegas, which is a fight fans have talked about for years without really expecting it to happen. They first fought way back in 2013 when both guys were just starting to make names for themselves, and now they’re running it back more than a decade later. McGregor hasn’t fought since breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier in 2021, so this is easily one of the biggest comeback stories the UFC has had in a long time.

What makes this matchup so interesting is how much Conor McGregor and Holloway have changed since their first meeting. Holloway has become one of the most respected fighters in the sport, known for his pace, toughness, and ability to overwhelm people over time. McGregor, on the other hand, is still one of the biggest stars MMA has ever seen, but there are a lot of questions about how he’ll look after five years away from the octagon. Whether you think he comes back and shocks everyone or believe Holloway is too active and too sharp, it’s the kind of fight that instantly gives fans something huge to look forward to this summer.

JUNE - JULY WE ARE EATING GOOD

Conor McGregor is officially back, and it feels like the kind of announcement that instantly makes the whole MMA world stop and pay attention. The former two-division champion is set to return against Max Holloway in the main event of UFC 329, marking McGregor’s first fight since his leg injury against Dustin Poirier in 2021. It’s hard not to get excited because whenever McGregor fights, it feels bigger than just another UFC event. Whether you love him or hate him, he brings an energy and spotlight that few athletes in any sport can match, and his comeback after nearly five years away makes this feel like one of the biggest fights of the year.

What makes this fight even more interesting is that McGregor and Holloway first fought all the way back in 2013, when both were still rising prospects. McGregor won that night, but Holloway has since become one of the most respected fighters in UFC history and a fan favorite known for his relentless pace and toughness. That makes this rematch feel like a true full-circle moment. McGregor gets the perfect high-profile opponent for his return, and fans get a matchup that mixes nostalgia with real intrigue. It’s the kind of fight that feels like a huge event the moment it’s announced, and it’s hard not to wonder whether “The Notorious” still has one more unforgettable run left in him.

Chandler waited all that time 😭

Max Holloway vs Conor McGregor 2 feels like one of those fights that instantly grabs everyone’s attention. Their first meeting happened all the way back in 2013, when McGregor was the rising star and Holloway was still a young prospect trying to find his footing in the UFC. A lot has changed since then. Holloway has gone on to become one of the greatest featherweights ever, while McGregor became the biggest superstar the sport has ever seen. Now they’re both in completely different stages of their careers, which makes this rematch so intriguing. For Holloway, it’s a chance to avenge an early loss. For McGregor, it’s an opportunity to prove he can still compete at the highest level after years away from the Octagon.

You can bet Michael Chandler won’t be thrilled about this announcement. Chandler spent years calling for a fight with McGregor, coached opposite him on The Ultimate Fighter, and repeatedly put his own career plans on hold while waiting for that matchup to materialize. From his perspective, seeing McGregor jump straight into a massive rematch with Holloway has to feel frustrating. At the same time, it’s hard to blame the UFC for making the fight—McGregor vs. Holloway is a blockbuster matchup with built-in history and huge fan interest. Still, Chandler has every reason to feel like he was left standing at the altar after waiting so long for a fight that never happened.
