After a childhood marked by tragedy and years of self-destructive behavior, the 27-year-old fighter has found purpose in the sport that helped save him.

Cédric Doumbé, huh? A kickboxer for Christmas Eve? If all of this feels familiar for Jake Paul, there's probably a reason why.

After a referee restart got him out of trouble in Round 2, the 26-year-old Australian hurt Moicano with a knee and finished him with elbows in the third. It's his sixth straight win.

Volkanovski and Yan both delivered statement performances at UFC 333, but with each champ making compelling cases for their place among MMA's very best, who came out ahead?

Written off after back-to-back knockout losses, Volkanovski was supposed to be nearing the end. Instead, his stunning win at UFC 333 has made the case undeniable: At 38, he's the greatest featherweight in MMA history — and one of the five greatest fighters the UFC has ever seen.

We didn't actually think his RAF 14 wrestling match with Dillon Danis would go without incident, did we?

If you like immense technical skill, unheralded prowess and festering vendettas, UFC 333 might just be your huckleberry.

With the UFC actively getting rid of fighters who can't finish fights, UFC 333's Evloev has a chance to become the ultimate headache for Dana White: An undefeated champ who doesn't care how boring you think he is.

Native Canadian Malott may be uncomfortable with talks of him being the UFC's new Georges St-Pierre, but he's earned contender status after his big win in Edmonton.

Farid Basharat went 7-0 in the UFC yet didn't receive an offer to re-sign. If you've been paying attention, it shouldn't have come as a surprise.

Passed over for a title opportunity at UFC 332, Blanchfield heads into Saturday's fight with Jasmine Jasudavicius determined to leave no doubt about who deserves the next shot at Natalia Silva.

At a time when the UFC's belts are losing meaning with so many non-lineal, disputed and interim champions masquerading with titles, it's a little "red-flaggish" to see the rare lineal champion pondering his way out.

With UFC 332 in the books, Silva finds herself moving up the rankings after a quiet run to the women's flyweight title.

White took aim at UFC 332's critics after a record-setting night in Salt Lake City. But a fun night of fights doesn't mean the skeptics got it wrong.

If the UFC were still into the business of promoting its fights, perhaps UFC 332 might've been the one to signal a shift in philosophy.

Nobody asked for Natalia Silva vs. Wang Cong, but are we all sleeping on the real story behind Saturday's UFC 332 card?

Darren Till may have come to BKFC reluctantly, but Saturday's Manchester showdown against Yoel Romero felt like a man who'd found his calling.

If Van retired today, just walked away from the game in the heart of his prodigy-defining years, has he already earned his place on UFC's flyweight Mount Rushmore? The numbers may surprise you.

Van breaks into elite company in the pound-for-pound rankings with his dominant showing against Alexandre Pantoja, while Tsarukyan and another familiar name crash the party.

The UFC forced Tsarukyan to earn his way back into the lightweight title picture. After six straight wins and one last emphatic knockout at UFC 331, there should be no more hoops left to jump through.

Even if Tsarukyan delivers an impressive win Saturday, a title shot isn't guaranteed for the division's most deserving contender.

Is Tsarukyan setting himself up for another disappointment? Is Joshua Van's flyweight title defense against Alexandre Pantoja the biggest in the division's history? Let's discuss.

With Tom Aspinall's decision to vacate the belt, the timeline of events in the UFC heavyweight division over the past five years becomes even more ludicrous.

Between Zuffa's Ryan Garcia vs. Conor Benn fight and Noche UFC, MMA and boxing became a TKO-supplied package deal Saturday. Given how well the two played together, here's guessing this won't be the last time we see it.
