Petr Yan looks ready to make another bantamweight title run.
On Saturday, Yan picked up a unanimous decision win over Deiveson Figueiredo in the main event of UFC Macau, in a vintage performance from the former 135-pound champion. Though Figueiredo was highly competitive throughout, Yan simply out-worked the former flyweight champ to take a clean sweep of the judges' scorecards, 50-45 and put himself back in the thick of the bantam...

For the first time in 10 years, the UFC is returning to Macau!

Jon Jones is back. So is Francis Ngannou. And Tom Aspinall? He’s been here all along.
So with all three big men scoring pivotal wins in 2024, who is the one true king of the heavyweight division?
Is it Jones, the relative neophyte who is just 2-0 in the weight class, but still carrying the aura that comes with being undefeated throughout his career?
Is it Ngannou, the lineal heavyweight champion who left the UFC without ever droppi...

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson went a full eight rounds in their highly promoted main event boxing matchup at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
