My previous output of MMA content saw the staking of my non-existent reputation on a series of predictions, most of which were validated; however, this article will see judgement offered in retrospect on the five main takeaways from recent proceedings in no discernible order.
During the week it was announced that Billy Dib would fight Amir Khan in Saudi Arabia for the newly minted WBC Welterweight Pearl title – whatever that is – only for the WBC to withdraw the Pearl title and announce that the fight would be for their vacant International title.
Andy Ruiz Jr has caused a major boil over in the boxing world, downing the previously undefeated Anthony Joshua to claim the WBA, Super, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight titles.
Of all the ways Anthony Mundine envisioned his career between the ropes ending, this surely wasn’t it.
In what he claims will be his farewell from the boxing ring, polarizing boxing star Anthony Mundine plans to end his storied career on a high note.
UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov had just submitted Conor McGregor, the most bankable fighter in UFC history.
Khabib Nurmagomedov has retained the UFC lightweight championship after forcing Conor McGregor to tap out in the fourth round of UFC 229, but headlines will be made instead by what happened after the fight.
I will not watch Jeff Horn and Anthony Mundine fight one another for a long list of reasons, many of which could be cut-n-pasted from a piece I wrote two years ago when I vowed not to watch Mundine fight Danny Green in Adelaide.

Veteran Australian boxer Sam ‘The King’ Soliman returns to the ring tonight to regain the world champion.

IBF Welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr – who just last weekend easily defended his title by defeating Mikey Garcia – now wants the status of being the “pound for pound No.1 boxer in the world”.
It’s now official that Australian-born Irishman Dennis Hogan (28-1) will get his second chance at winning a world title when he faces undefeated Mexican Jaime Munguia (32-0) for his World Boxing Organization (WBO) Super Welterweight Title in Monterrey, Mexico on April 13.
A South Korean MMA fighter has ditched the standard combat sports walkout song tradition, for a slightly more entertaining approach.
Following a defeat via unanimous decision, a Bulgarian boxer took his frustration out on his own corner
Austin Batra seemed to have claimed a stunning victory in the opening 30 seconds of his Battlefield Fight League bout with Perry Hayer in Canada. But after knocking out his opponent, Batra was later disqualified for an outrageous act.
He may be just a teenager, but by the looks of it, Tenshin Nasukawa has already made MMA history.
