UFC 310 – Top Bouts & How to Bet on Them

Posted on November 22, 2024 by A. J. Riot

UFC and Dana White never sleep. It’s event after event after event. One would have thought that Dana had found a way to clone himself. Joking aside, we all know how severe UFC is as a company and that every event is carefully planned. So, it’s no wonder that we can move on to the next one only a few days after the closing of the UFC 309 event.

Not even cancellations and fighter injuries can stop the UFC from having top-notch events week in and week out. UFC 310 was supposed to be headlined by Belal Muhammad and Shavkat Rakhmonov. After Belal reported a serious bone infection, this bout was canceled until further notice. Dana White wasted no time, and a replacement bout was scheduled. It is a replacement bout only in name; we’re talking about a fight that deserves to be a headliner.

On one side, we will have Alexander Pantoja, the flyweight champion, in a fight to retain his title. His opponent is an interesting name who will not be familiar to UFC-only viewers. Nonetheless, Kai Asakura is a famous name in the world of MMA. The Former Rizin man is a two-time champion in their bantamweight division. Nowadays, he is looking to make a mark on the UFC universe.

Like most other UFC events, this one will attract viewers from all over the world. Those who want to seize the opportunity to watch UFC 309 live can do so at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. UFC and Las Vegas have a deep connection, and we can expect nothing less than a spectacle this time around, too. The event is scheduled for December 8th, starting at 4pm NZST. To help you gear up for the main bout and the rest of the card, we will present the top fights scheduled for UFC 310. Now that Jon Jones retained his title at UFC 309, and is no longer in the spotlight, for the time being, maybe some of the fighters below can take an aim at it.

Exclusive Interview with Caged Steel 38 competitor, Faz Ali

Posted on November 17, 2024 by Heather

Introduction

The first encounter that Faz Ali had with martial arts was with Jeet Kune Do (JKD). The creator of that specific style was Bruce Lee. JKD incorporates various techniques including: Wing Chun, Tai Chi, Taekwondo, boxing, fencing, and Jiu Jitsu. Ali is devoted to his training for his upcoming bout in the Doncaster, United Kingdom, against Lucas Tenorio at Caged Steel 38 on December 7, 2024. Ali began his professional MMA career with a seven fight win streak. This looks like it will be a more challenging fight for Tenorio, as Ali is extremely diverse with the techniques. This gentleman is diligent about health and training. He is dedicated to doing what it takes to level up and move on to advance his career. December 7, 2024 will be his second Caged Steel appearance. His opponent is also a well-rounded fighter. Both contestants have the majority of their wins come by the way of submission.

Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury 2: Preview

Posted on November 1, 2024 by Heather

Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) is defending multiple titles against England’s Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs), on December 21, 2024, at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The Heavyweight boxing bout will be broadcast live on DAZN Pay-Per-View. In the initial match-up between Usyk and Fury on May 18, 2024, Usyk defeated Fury and became the undisputed world heavyweight champion by split decision. The rematch will have the following titles up for grabs: WBC, WBA, IBF, and the WBO titles. Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, has played a major role in securing a rematch as soon as possible for the two professional boxers.

Oleksandr Usyk is undergoing intense training in preparation for his upcoming rematch with Fury to defend his current titles and remain the heavyweight champion. He owns a gym in Spain where he has sparred against 40 different boxers for 250 rounds. Utilizing a separate opponent per round, Usyk’s training camp consists of 15 rounds of three and a half minutes each.

Tyson Fury is also undergoing training, while posting the training videos on his social media. He is essentially out for revenge in December for four world titles. Fury has a nutritionist who suggests that he consumes 4,500–6,000 calories on training days. His diet is strict with a high protein and healthy food intake. In a different way, Tyson is also working on improving his sparring techniques just as Oleksandr has been doing.
