Online sports betting was birthed in 1994 when the tiny island nation of Antigua and Barbuda decided to legalize this entertainment form through its Free Trade and Processing Act, which allowed companies based in this country to offer remote gambling services. A year before this event, in Denver, inside the McNicholas Sports Arena, in front of an audience of seven thousand and eight hundred people, the UFC ran its first tournament, in which Royce Gracie tapped out Gerard Gordeau in the final. While live wagering on mixed martial arts matches was not a thing in the 1990s, it is all the rage today, with virtually every top-shelf digital sportsbook allowing this practice.

Current MMA Rankings Updated (08-20-2023).. and Two Complaints
- Is anyone else, sick of hearing the UFC commentators declare every champion who has defended 3x or more, as the “best ever” in that weight division?
- Leg kicks are ruining fights. I can’t wait until a high-level fight turns into a kicking war like Paco vs. Frank Dux in Bloodsport, but with the two fighters kicking solely at each others’ lower legs. Then, people will start complaining – unless it ends in an Epic KO like that scene did. Anyway, I vote to ban all kicks at or below the knee.
FairPlay India: Introducing a New Era of Reliable Betting
Fairplay betting online has recently become available in the Indian online betting market. However, it has already captured the attention of hundreds of players due to its wide range of disciplines and markets, high odds, ambitious approach to betting, as well as classic and exotic casino games in the casino section.
These fighters put Australia on the MMA map
Think of Australian athletes and your mind tends to focus on the nation’s famous cricketers, rugby players, maybe tennis stars and of course the odd golfer or two. Australians are not famous for combat sports, aside from a few boxers over the years like Lionel Rose in the 1960s and more recently, Kostya Tszyu, who dominated the light welterweight division around the millennium.
All that has started to change over the past few years, as Australia has got into MMA at grass roots level with more enthusiasm. For some reason, boxing was always seen as a chore to be endured by youngsters down under, but the more nuanced athleticism behind MMA has captured Australian imaginations. This is a nation with a skill for identifying and nurturing sporting talent, which is why it challenges at the highest level despite having a population of only 25 million. These fighters are ensuring Australia is firmly on the MMA map.
Jake Matthews is just hitting his prime
Melbourne fighter Jake Matthews made his MMA debut at Australian regional level in 2012 having just turned 18. He rapidly compiled a 7-0 record before making his UFC debut two years later. In the intervening years, he has recorded some impressive wins against such names as Diego Sanchez, Li Jingliang and Emil Weber Meek.
Matthews was scheduled to face Miguel Baeza at UFC 291 last month, but Baeza pulled out and was replaced by Darrius Flowers. Matthews won the bout quite easily in the second round and there is a sense that he is just hitting his prime.
Most Notable MMA and Boxing Crossover Fights
MMA and Boxing crossover fight talks have significantly increased in recent times. One of the reasons why are the highly popularized Jake Paul boxing fights where he has faced MMA legends Anderson Silva, Tyron Woodley, and most recently, Nate Diaz. The upcoming Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou has also generated lots of buzz and there’s no doubt it will be one of the biggest fights of the year.
And as we wait for it, we have decided to look at some of the most notable MMA and boxing crossover fights. The article is based on our interview with boxing and online casino rank expert, Bernard Maumo from https://onlinecasinorank.org/.
Muhammad Ali vs. Antonio Inoki (1976)
Let’s start with the fight that started it all, but which is also one of the most bizarre crossover fights ever. The two legends need no introduction in their respective fields, but Ali is arguably the greatest boxer ever and a pop culture icon. Before this fight, he was coming off a big win over the then WBC and WBA heavyweight champion, Richard Dunn. Inoki, on the other hand, was the one of the most influential fighters in Japanese pro wrestling.
Mohammad Ali vs Antonio Inoki was meant to be a boxing vs MMA spectacle, featuring a blend of rules from both words. But two days before the fight, Ali’s camp restricted Inoki to only throwing kicks when one knee was on the ground in a bid to keep him upright. Ali could only adhere to strict boxing rules. But at the end of the day, these turned out to be the worst of rules, giving birth to 15 agonizingly slow rounds. Inoki spent most of the time baseball sliding on the canvas, landing 102 kicks. Ali could only land six punches, and the fight was ruled a draw. Fans have never accepted the result, so you can also judge it yourself.
