Fight week coverage, live results and post-event fallout.

Cyborg wins No. 30 in her billed farewell, keeps the belt, and declines to say goodbye: ‘I’m ready for anybody. Any time, any weight.’

The legend outworked Ketlen Vieira over five hard rounds in Tampa, closed the three-fight farewell she announced two years ago, and then spent her retirement speech calling out a boxing world champion. The greatest résumé in women’s MMA history added a round number on Saturday. It did not add an ending.

Cejudo pins Dvalishvili in 36 seconds at RAF 12, takes the belt, and calls his next shot: ‘Cody Garbrandt, you’re next’

The Olympic champion waited six weeks for the rematch and needed barely half a minute to end it: single-leg, four-point slam, trapped arm, shoulders flat. Then both men danced. The wrestling rivalry is level at one apiece, the trilogy is already being negotiated on the mic, and retirement keeps getting busier.

UFC Sacramento wrap: Rodrigues spoils the homecoming and banks the card’s biggest check, while De Ridder announces himself at 205

The hometown main event went to the visitor on the scorecards, the commission sheet says the win was worth exactly double, and the night’s heaviest news arrived a day later.

Volkanovski’s coach says the hole in Ruffy’s game is closed before UFC 331: ‘Arman’s in for a fight’

The man who built The Great’s career has watched the Brazilian knockout artist retool his wrestling inside the Freestyle MMA room, and his verdict on the Tsarukyan matchup is blunt.

UFC Sacramento preview: Hernandez gets his home game, with the champion who beat him now in his corner

Seven years after its last visit, the promotion returns to Golden 1 Center with a NorCal headliner whose eight-fight run ended against the man currently holding the middleweight belt. His response was to join that man’s camp. A win at home restarts the climb. Across the cage: a surging Brazilian knockout artist with every reason to spoil the party.

UFC BJJ 10 wrap: Tackett cranks his way to a record fourth defence, Ste-Marie takes the featherweight crown in her debut

The Bowl reopened Thursday night and nobody in it heard a final horn that mattered. The welterweight king needed 104 seconds, a Canadian took a belt in her first walk, both Tackett brothers submitted their men in the first round, and the flyweight tournament produced a final between two champions from different divisions of the sport’s map.

BKB plants its flag in Newcastle behind Terrill’s homecoming, in the same arena where he won a rival promotion’s belt in March

The North Shields heavyweight headlines BKB’s first Tyne card on October 10, seven months after becoming BKFC’s inaugural UK champion in the very same building. A title defence sits underneath, a former IBF world champion returns, and the UK’s two bare-knuckle promotions are now openly shopping in each other’s aisles.

A belt for a maybe: how Kaik Brito read the market and won

The two-time OKTAGON welterweight champion vacated his belt six weeks ago, cancelled a September title defence, and walked into the Meta APEX with nothing guaranteed. He walked out with a walk-off knockout, a UFC contract, and the sharpest possible illustration of what the European title picture is actually worth when the Apex calls.

PFL boss pumps the brakes on the Usman-to-UFC noise: ‘They’re not legally allowed to’ make an offer

John Martin used Helwani’s show to remind the sport that free agency has rules, and the exclusive window still belongs to his company. The broadcast graphics, the White and Campbell handshakes, and Cormier’s on-camera pleading, all of it, in Martin’s telling, is staged noise until the clock runs out.

Contender Series wrap: Six contracts on a wild night of upsets, a walk-off haymaker, and a Von Flue choke

The underdogs went three-for-three, the main event ended with one punch twelve seconds into the final round, a losing fighter earned a deal anyway, and the show handed out more contracts in one episode than it sometimes gives in three. The second-chance stories split exactly in half, and both halves deserve telling.

DWCS Week 2 preview: BJJ world champion Mahamed Aly gets a second shot at the contract that got away

The Meta APEX runs five more auditions tonight, and the one grappling fans will circle is the light heavyweight bout. A year ago, the IBJJF world champion walked into this show and got knocked out. Now, Aly is back on the same stage, one win from the door.

UFC 330 breaks the Philadelphia arena’s all-time gate record, and the number tells a bigger story than the night

A sold-out 19,238 and $6.7 million in tickets, roughly $2 million past the building’s previous best, from a card with no marquee local draw, in a city the promotion had skipped for seven years. Dana White read the numbers out loud. The live-events business heard them.
