The Irishman has gone 1-3 since 2016, including two losses in a row to Dustin Poirier last summer. He has returned to kicking drills and boxing sparring, but is still unable to engage in full MMA sessions at SBG Ireland's HQ yet. He’s full of s***. So, if he had the opportunity to listen to it, he probably would’ve went to McDonald’s. He went to Burger King. So, I get underneath his skin. Ferguson has had a bitter and long-standing feud with the Irishman since they were managed by the same company. He has been in Miami, New York, California, Dublin, Cannes, Rome and a host of other major cities, which would make it hard for a USADA representative to track him down as he continues to move around. And his long-time rival Tony Ferguson believes that it's because he has pulled out of the promotion's rigorous testing system, where fighters must update USADA of their whereabouts on a frequent basis.

Earlier, Australian Alexander Volkanovski will look to defend his featherweight belt in his third meeting with fierce rival and crowd favourite Max Holloway.

Everyone wants to see the trilogy. So if that’s going to move me forward, let’s do it.” Watch this level change and look at the beautiful use of the hips and amazing flexibility in her core to get over there, passes that arm and gets that far-side armbar.” You all want to see it, right? “My thoughts are only on what he’s going to attempt to do Saturday night and what I’m going to do Saturday night. “But I feel good, I feel great. “It’s the same old song. I’m just glad I have new blood to fight in this fight.” So why do I even pay attention to what people say?” So there’s a lot of people saying a lot of different things. “I’ve been a pro since 2009. I’ve spent my entire 20s and 30s doing this.

Miller jumped into a guillotine choke to become the all-time wins leader in UFC history.

In the second round, Miller and Cerrone threw kicks at the same time, with Cerrone's landing to Miller's face. Miller, who made his debut at UFC 89 in October 2008, looked sharp from the early moments of the fight. LAS VEGAS -- On Saturday night, Jim Miller and Donald Cerrone met on the UFC 276 prelims in a welterweight clash that would determine the UFC's all-time wins leader.

Two title bouts will be decided Saturday night, including Israel Adesanya's defense of his middleweight belt against Jared Cannonier.

Strickland has been inching closer and closer to a title shot, but Pereira—who already owns two wins against Adesanya from their kickboxing matchups—would make for a better story line if Adesanya retains his title. In the main event, Israel Adesanya defends his middleweight title against Jared Cannonier. Eleven years into his career, this marks Cannonier’s first UFC title fight. Cerrone was built to deliver Fight of the Night performances. 24—the most in UFC history—for Miller, and it was immediately followed by Cerrone announcing his retirement. Jalin Turner looked outstanding in his victory against Brad Riddell, who entered the bout ranked No. 14 in the lightweight division. The eye poke occurred just over three minutes into the second round, and Munhoz (19–7, 2 NC) was unable to continue.

Julija Stoliarenko opened the UFC 276 mega-card with a gruesome submission of Jessica-Rose Clark.

The retirement marks the end of a legendary 16-year career for Cerrone (36–17 MMA, 23–14 UFC), whose 38 UFC fights are second-most all time.

He then moved to the UFC in 2011 when the WEC's roster was folded into the sport's biggest promotion. The 39-year-old Cerrone brought his two sons, Danger and Riot, inside the octagon with him to mark the occasion. I'm going to be a movie star, baby, so it's time to bow out."

After a back-and-forth fight, Sean O'Malley and Pedro Munhoz had their fight ruled a no contest after an accidental eye poke.

The fight was gearing up to be a technical bout. O'Malley, a Helena native, accidentally poked his opponent Pedro Munhoz in the eye in the second round of their fight at UFC 276 in Las Vegas on Saturday. The fight was ruled a no contest after Munhoz was unable to see out of his poked eye. After a much-anticipated top-15 fight was on the books, Sean O'Malley's fight at UFC 276 ended in disappointing fashion.

I want to move up." "I want to be busy. "I want to be in this Octagon as much as possible," Volkanovski said. I needed to remind myself." According to UFC Stats, Volkanovski outlanded Holloway in total strikes 204 to 161 -- and the difference felt more pronounced than that for those watching the fight. I really needed it.

The challenger was enjoying his best spell to date but a combination of Volkanowski's timing and his own cut eye continued to cause him trouble. The challenger answered back with the same shot but continued to play second fiddle as his cut reopened. The challenger struggled with Volkanowski's speed from the opening round and was unable to stamp his authority on the co-main event.

Ahead of the UFC 276 main event, UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya made quite a stir with an entrance inspired by WWE legend The Undertaker.

Alexander Volkanovski defeated Max Holloway for the third time Saturday night, defending his featherweight title by unanimous decision with a dominant ...

Cerrone beat Miller in their first meeting in 2014, but Cerrone is now 4-10 since 2016 with a seven-fight winless streak. Bryan Barbarena also stopped Robbie Lawler on strikes late in the second round of a brutal fight in which both veterans absorbed tremendous punishment. Before the title fights, Alex Pereira demolished Sean Strickland with strikes midway through the first round of a victory that burnished the Brazilian kickboxing champion's status as an immediate title contender at middleweight. Holloway's answers dwindled as his cuts grew larger, and Volkanovski patiently racked up scoring shots to leave no doubt in the decision. Cannonier, getting his first UFC title shot at 38 years old, struggled to find a consistent striking range, and he didn't show enough desperation to figure it out. Volkanovski executed a sharp boxing game plan against one of the UFC's best punchers, bloodying Holloway's face early on and steadily increasing the punishment into the final minutes.

Adesanya was making the fifth defence of his middleweight title as he welcomed the challenge of the hard-hitting Cannonier.

Adesanya snapped back Cannonier's head with another unerring jab at the start of the fourth session as he continued to dominate. The champion increased the pace at the start of the second round as he effortlessly switched stances to land his ram-rod jab. The champion was barely out of second gear over the five-round main event as he cruised to a fourth title defence.

Volkanovski made it a clean sweep over the former champion in the co-main event from Las Vegas.

Holloway began to fight more desperate in Round 4 and traded strikes on largely even terms as the action slowed. Volkanovski began to openly taunt Holloway in the opening round and briefly buckled him with a big right cross. But he turned in a largely lifeless performance as Volkanovski's speed and accuracy began to piece the Hawaiian fan favorite up from the start.

UFC stunned as trash talking star punched 'into oblivion' with 'terrifying' KO.

It was just the second KO loss in Strickland’s career and dropped his record to 25-4, while Pereira improved to 6-1. The referee jumped in to wave off the fight as Pereira ran off to celebrate while Strickland continued to stumble around the cage. Sean Strickland did plenty of talking at the UFC 267 press conference, but a sweet left hook from Alex Pereira shut his mouth in an emphatic KO victory for the Brazilian.

Adesanya honored Undertaker on a night where UFC and WWE went head-to-head in the same city.

Adesanya's ode to "The Deadman" is particularly amusing because both UFC and WWE ran shows in Las Vegas on Saturday night. The UFC middleweight champion and the UFC production team really committed to recreating Undertaker's entrance. Israel Adesanya paid homage to The Undertaker at UFC 276.

But McGregor also has not won a lightweight fight since 2016 and is 1-3 at the weight in his UFC career. A win for either man is massive and another accomplishment in a truly great career. While Pereira is an elite enough talent to warrant being signed on his own, his two kickboxing wins over Adesanya, one by brutal knockout, have been the underlying story every time he has fought in the Octagon. What Pereira needed to be "deserving" of a shot at Adesanya in the Octagon was an elite win. A reputation for safe gameplans and fights that lack in entertainment value has begun to creep into conversations about Adesanya's place in the sport. Subscribe to Morning Kombat with Luke Thomas and Brian Campbell for the best analysis and in-depth news, including instant analysis of UFC 276 at the conclusion of the PPV event. While Alexander Volkanovski put on an incredible show of dominance in retaining his featherweight championship against Max Holloway in their trilogy fight, middleweight champion Israel Adesanya left the fans somewhat disappointed after a safe and uninspired victory over Jared Cannonier.

Ian Garry maintained his unbeaten UFC record with a unanimous decision victory over Gabe Green in Las Vegas.

"I want to be in this octagon as much as possible. The Australian won a 50-45 shutout on all three cards for his third win over Holloway. "Next time I put you on skates, you’re going to get frozen like Elsa."

The Dubliner defeated Gabriel Green via unanimous decision to give him his third victory in just eight months since joining the promotion.

“I want to bring it back for them, they deserve it. Speaking after the dominant win, Garry said: “I don’t see any reason to stop. Give him some time and he's going to be a problem. “I want the UFC back in Dublin. I want to bring the UFC back to Dublin. The Irish fans deserve it, they have been absolutely amazing for me.

After the fight, Garry told Laura Sanko that he wants his next fight to be in Dublin: Green will not be keen on watching UFC 276 back, as Garry used his distance control and long reach to tag him with ease and win comfortably.

Diaz is currently training for a return to the octagon as he looks to finally fight out his UFC contract and get a chance to test free agency. He has been out of action for over a year after losing his last fight to Leon Edwards, and has won just once since his star-making victory over Conor McGregor six-and-a-half years ago. And despite seemingly being interested in chatting with the reporter before posing for photos, he seemed annoyed at his attitude and whispered a message about tweets he had supposedly posted.

32-year old Israel Adesanya used the elaborate entrance in his middleweight title bout at UFC 276.

And with the WWE execs in attendance, there could never have been a more appropriate time to walk out on the ‘dead man’s’ theme. The urn, the champion walked in with, had Cannonier’s name written on it. In UFC 243, as he took on Robert Whittaker, in the Australian’s own backyard, and he danced his way into the arena.

With the pair having a bit of history, it is now the perfect time to make Adesanya vs Pereira for the middleweight title and a chance to claim the bragging rights in the heated rivalry. The winner of the fight was undoubtedly going to be next in line for a chance to compete for the middleweight strap. With no one in the top 15 wanting to step in the ring with Pereira, Strickland was the man to give Pereira a shot at entering the top 10.

Backstage at UFC 276, Nate Diaz slapped Full Send interviewer Shawny Mack after telling him to watch what he tweets.

Cerrone ends his career having never held a UFC title. He finishes his career 36-17 with two no-contests. He ends his career on a seven-fight winless streak with six losses and a no-contest.

UFC middleweight champion Adesanya also defended his performance against Jared Cannonier.

Pereira boasts two wins over Adesanya in the kickboxing world and is the only man to ever knockout "The Last Stylebender."

Diaz (20-13) has not competed since losing a unanimous decision to UFC welterweight title challenger Leon Edwards last year. The source of Diaz's frustration is reportedly disparaging remarks that Mack made about Diaz's training partner Nick Maximov, according to Jason Hartley. The interviewer, Shawny Mack of internet collective Full Send, approached Diaz for a short interview.

The featherweight king was asked to sketch how Holloway would look after their UFC 276 bout in a promotional stunt - and he turned in an amazingly accurate ...

It was so serious he had to be treated in hospital after the fight. He's on the record as saying he wants to headline a UFC card held in Australia, and the ideal way for him to do that would be to get a crack at his ambition of holding belts in two weight divisions at the same time. But that wasn't the only similarity to the Aussie's sketch - Holloway was also left with a smaller cut under his right eye, a bloodied mouth, and a wound on the right side of his forehead, just as predicted. The finished product showed Holloway with a series of stitches above his blackened left eye, a cut under his right eye, fat lips and another cut on the right side of his forehead - and it was very close to the mark. Volkanovski and other stars on the card were asked to sketch their opponents before the event kicked off in a 'putting the art in martial artist' promotion for the UFC - and he hit the nail on the head with his drawing. - Revealed after the fight that he broke his left hand in the second round
