2026 WHR Post #8
Fights considered must satisfy all of the criteria below:
Two women of action built their reputations in the Octagon. One was a pioneer for women in fighting sports, while the other took that legacy and elevated it, bringing it to new heights. When they both fell from those lofty perches, they remained relevant by adapting to other forms of entertainment. One returned to the ring, following a script and telling a story, adapting seamlessly to the moment. The other brought her moves to a movie set, also telling stories in a different arena. Eventually, they found themselves on the outside looking in again. What they discovered was each other, and on May 16th, they will perform on the streaming service Netflix, returning to their roots.

Main Card Predictions:
After securing a first-round TKO on Dana White’s Contender Series, Kurtis ‘The Pink Panther’ Campbell is set to make his UFC debut against the Brazilian Danny Silva.
Campbell is currently 8-0 as a professional MMA fighter, with the featherweight from Liverpool securing four knockout victories and one submission in his seven Full Contact Contender fights.
The ‘Pink Panther’ has a background in Muay Thai and won a world title when he was younger, creating a base for a successful MMA career.
His opponent, Danny Silva, made his UFC debut in March 2025, where he defeated Lucas Almeida via split decision.
Since then, he was defeated via unanimous decision by the rising prospect Kevin Vallejos, a great learning experience for Silva.
Silva has a primary base in boxing and likes to apply constant pressure to his opponents, combining strikes in the pocket with constant leg kicks.
This is a tough start to life in the UFC for Campbell, but I believe he can get the job done via a decision.
I think Campbell will try to keep his range from Silva and work off his jab, mixing in takedowns when the opportunity arises.
Silva may land some big strikes in the pocket exchanges, but I think Campbell will be more active in the fight, landing more consistently and causing more damage to his opponent.
Final Prediction – Kurtis Campbell via split decision Keep Reading

The battle between Burns vs. Malott will take place on April 18, 2026, at Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The excitement around the UFC fight night has attracted a lot of individuals worldwide, including Neosurf casinos users. This battle will witness the return of high promotional media coverage to Winnipeg. This was once seen in 2013 when Rashad Evans beat Dean Henderson in the UFC 161 match.
Burns is a force on his own, as he is the former title challenger and currently ranks 11th in the welterweight division. Malott, on the other hand, will be coming into this battle to extend his winning run to 4 straight wins. This combination makes this UFC Fight Night matchup a battle to boost ego and show supremacy. It is going to be one of the most anticipated matchups in the 2026 UFC April Calendar.
At his weekly press conferences, Dana White constantly reminds us that he is in “a crazy business.” For most of the last two decades, Dana White has been the man delivering chaos to everyone else.
This March, chaos delivered itself to him.
Within weeks, the UFC president found his expanding combat-sports empire under pressure from multiple fronts: an escalating promotional feud with boxing power brokers, a highly public rebuke from former superstar Ronda Rousey, a last-minute fight cancellation on a historic card, mounting skepticism over the logistics and symbolism of a planned White House mega-event, and renewed scrutiny over fighter pay, which is an issue that refuses to stay buried.
Individually, these developments might have been manageable. Together, they painted the picture of a promoter facing the most turbulent stretch of his modern career.

Tyson Fury is back once again. After a year away from the sport following back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk, the Gypsy King returns to the ring to fight Arslanbek Makhmudov on 11 April at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, live on Netflix.
With plenty of interest in the Tyson Fury vs Makhmudov odds already building, one question keeps coming up more than any other. Who exactly is Arslanbek Makhmudov, and does he have what it takes to face the Gypsy King?
