Let's start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2026.
UFC 333's Alex Volkanovski doubles down on 'champion vs. champion' retirement fight against Justin Gaethje : There are too many Lightweight contenders for this fight to make any sense, even if it would be a great matchup.
Former champ Belal Muhammad open to fighting surging Mike Malott next: 'Definitely makes sense' : Muhammad vs. Malott feels like a great next step for both men. Who ya' got?
Rise and shine! West Coast fans are gonna hate the UFC 333 special start time : Waking up at 9 A.M. on a Saturday and catching half a UFC card right away doesn't sound so terrible …
Beating up Sedriques Dumas is all it takes to get a McDonalds deal nowadays? Or were the execs over at the Golden Arches really impressed by Luis Hernandez's hip thrusting? Nothing against the guy at all, but I am a little surprised he's the first fighter to receive this kind of deal.
My first instinct is "NO CHANCE," but then I remember how broke Floyd Mayweather is …
… Maybe Azamat Murzakanov is finally heading to Middleweight?
The corrected stat is actually 33-3, but this is still good info for the bettors out there. Another chance for Alexander Volkanovski to beat the odds?
Speaking of "The Great," is it news to anyone else that he can't fully extend his arms anymore?
You gotta at least proofread your AI slop graphics a little bit!
Reminder: Asaf Chopurov debuts this weekend at UFC 333.
I love this story and clip; I post it every time Caposa reshares. MMA history!
From showboating to flatlined in seconds.
