BRUCE LEE- THE FIRST ULTIMATE FIGHTER?

Posted on March 31, 2025 by Luis Vazquez

Bruce Lee transcends not just the world of martial arts but lives onward in popular culture as the point of reference for fighting arts worldwide. Time has done nothing to dull the memory of “The Dragon.” Lee, like water, has continued to flow uninterrupted while blending into the mainstream culture as seamlessly as his Jeet Kune Do. This hybrid fighting style may have just been the predecessor to the current top mixed fighting organization in the world, the UFC, or Ultimate Fighting Championship. A look at Bruce Lee through film, philosophy and as he would coin it “honest expression” his televised fights show glimpses and shades of common ground concerning the search for the ultimate in the fighting arts.

The Two Biggest Fights the UFC Could Make Right Now

Posted on March 31, 2025 by A. J. Riot

Source: Unsplash

The octagon has seen its fair share of historic clashes, moments that leave fans breathless and set the sport’s trajectory for years to come. We all remember Conor McGregor’s iconic slugfest opposite Nate Diaz, as well as Anderson Silva’s thrilling back-and-forth affairs against the brash Chael Sonnen. Right now, there is a pool of elite talent across divisions and the matchmaking possibilities feel endless, but there can be no denying that the UFC lacks the star power it once had.

It seems like the Notorious One’s return to the cage will never materialize, while the days of a superstar such as Ronda Rousey are long gone. Add to that the fact that perhaps the most popular fighter in the company recently lost his title, namely Alex Pereira with that disappointing defeat to Magomed Ankalaev, and it’s reasonable to conclude that those big show-stopping fights that make the earth stand still may well be a thing of the past.

But they don’t have to be. Yes, the stars have dried up somewhat, but there are still some blockbuster fights that could be made if all parties can come to an agreement. Here are the two that we feel have the biggest drawing power in 2025.
