UFC Spain will go down in 2025: “It’s important!”

“I want to go to Spain as bad as Spain wants us to come, so we’re working on it. We’ll get it done there,” UFC CEO Dana White recently said. “There’s never been a time where we said we’re going to do something and we don’t do it. We figure it out, and we’ll get it done.”

“It’s important for me to go to Spain in ’25, so we’ll figure it out.”

Derrick Lewis looks for 20th UFC win

Derrick Lewis returns to the cage on Saturday and is looking to add another KO to his impressive resume. Lewis’ 15 knockout wins in the UFC are most in company history.

His 19 victories in UFC heavyweight competition are second-most in company history behind Andre Arlovski, who pulled off 23 wins. With a win in Edmonton he’s closing in on Arlovski.

Tyson Fury still wants Anthony Joshua

Despite his recent IBF title fight loss, Anthony Joshua is still an opponent Tyson Fury would like to face.

“I’d still fight him whether he’s got five losses, 10 losses or 20. It’s not important because, at this stage of our careers, it’s about having good fights,” Fury recently said.

Fury will face heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch on December 21 after losing their first fight via a split decision in May.
