The modern fight calendar has stopped pretending to be one sport.
MMADitcheva reveals she fought half of PFL New York with broken hands, telling only her cut man
The whisper went to one person in her corner. The scorecards went her way. Ten days later, the unbeaten flyweight is back in splints, facing another layoff, and rereading a decision she made about surgery a year ago. The performance everyone graded on ring rust deserves a new viewing.
MMAUFC Vegas wrap: Salkilld chokes out Gamrot in one round, and the lightweight queue has a new problem
