🇨🇳Li Kaiwen rebounded yesterday with a first-round TKO of Tatsuya Tomozone at KM Fighting Championship. After sitting him down with the left hook, the connections just kept coming.

Super interesting! 🇯🇵Arisa Matsuda (7-0) is fighting former Octagon champion 🇰🇿 Ayan Tursyn (8-1) at CFFC 150 on 2/6 for the strawweight championship

🇨🇳Sumudaerji vs. 🇲🇽Jesus Aguilar added to #UFC326 on March 7th! Per the UFC Chinese social media

K more of this kind of matchmaking 😅- 🇨🇳Xiao Long fighting 🇺🇸Cody Garbrandt at UFC 326 on March 7th. First rep by Chen Zong on Chinese social media last week. #UFC326 #UFC

🇨🇳Xie Bin (14-6) gets the Anaconda choke in :52 over late replacement 🇺🇿Omonullo Yuldashev (5-2) at YFU 90 today

JCK Fight Night 114 on December 27th adds four fights: 🇨🇳Apingshila vs. Myktybek Oskonbaev 🇰🇷Choi Jeong Yoon vs. 🇳🇿Brooke Pritchard 🇷🇺Abdulkasim Magomedshapiev vs. 🇷🇺Ramiz Gasanov 🇬🇪Sofiia Bagishvili vs. 🇷🇺Elona Daurova

ONE has posted the dates for their Fight Night cards in '26. All of them scheduled for 9pm EST at Bangkok's Lumpinee Stadium: 1.23- ONE FN 39 2.13- ONE FN 40 3.14- ONE FN 41 4.10- ONE FN 42 5.15- ONE FN 43 7.10- ONE FN 44 8.7- ONE FN 45 9.4- ONE FN 46 10.2- ONE FN 47 11.6- ONE FN 48 12.11- ONE FN 49

UFC 325 on 1/31 has Rongzhu vs. Quillan Salkilld, Yizha vs. Kaan Ofli, and the RTU season 4 finals. 💪 Makes a lot of sense to do them there with the surge of Australian/New Zealand talent this season.

Even taking into account roster additions, I've counted that the ONE main MMA roster has reduced by 19 fighters in the past eight months. This mass exodus stings a little more with Loman leaving, one of few contenders left in the bantamweight division.

Xie Bin battles Uljin FC featherweight champion Shin Jae Young at YFU 90 on December 19th

Before any fights are announced for the new year, I feel confident in saying these are the next title fights that should happen: Volk vs. Evloev Ilia vs. Arman Islam vs. Shavkat Chimaev vs. Imavov Pereira vs. Ulberg Aspinall vs. Gane II Dern vs. Zhang Shevchenko vs. N. Silva Harrison vs. Nunes

Song Yadong announces that he’s signed a contract to fight at #UFC324 either against Umar Nurmagomedov or Sean O’Malley

A ton of top fighters added to this KM Fight two-day event on 12/20 and 21: 20: Ahejiang Ailinuer vs. Samir Akhmedov Priya Sharma vs. Yu Qiuqiu Hailai Wusamo vs. Yulia Ostroverkhova Hao Yaozong vs. Mahdi Saremi 21: Jiniushiyue vs. Kai Yoshida Li Kaiwen vs. Tatsuya Tomozane

Stacked JCK show set for 12/13! Lot of perennial prospects for them but have my eye on Yixiemu.

One thing I'll be very keen to see is ONE's schedule for 2026. Notice a theme in these three shows? None are on a weekend, but either a Tuesday or Thursday. Some reasons could be of course, less day-of competition for headlines, more space for their Friday shows, and cheaper arena fees.

The urge to just make all of my social media a Lina Khan stan account www.cnn.com/2025/11/05/p...

Really pumped about this intv with 🇨🇳Zhang Mingyang! We talked: - Why he didn't hold back the violence in A. Smith's last fight - Thoughts on Johnny Walker and his one concern about the fight - Inspiring more Chinese LHWs/HWs to commit to MMA youtu.be/XYJQTxR9Svs

I recently took a nine-month break from MMA media as I figured things out with myself and tried to figure out how to go forward with a dying (or dead) industry. Here's my vulnerable thoughts on MMA media and my struggle to fit into it: youtu.be/RaRJ051Pxas

Reacting to the report that ONE and Amazon may part ways at the end of the year: - How ONE and Amazon became mismatched parts over the years - What this means for ONE's US plans going forward - How I think ONE should reform to maintain a cohesive identity t.co/s8vTWz8FFs

Devastating knee on the takedown entry lays out Park COLD, yikes man #RoadtoUFC

Ohhhhh BRUTAL right hand puts out Yamauchi!

Huge fight added to JCK Fight Night 100 on 6/17: After withdrawing from Road to UFC, 🇰🇬Adilet Nurmatov (13-2) fights 🇨🇳Aili Mulatebieke (19-3), per the promotion. Essentially an RTU non-tournament fight. JCK keeps bringing in better and better fighters from around the world.

🇸🇬Tiffany Teo is out of ONE and has signed to fight UFC veteran 🇨🇳Liang Na at JCK Fight Night 100 on June 17th, per the promotion

🇨🇳Huang Yuele (10-1) defends the takedown and strangles Korean Zombie’s Kim Min Woo with a ninja choke in the main event of WLF MMA 83 today

This round is insaaaaaane. McKee has dropped Frunza like four times already?

I haven't seen anything like the passion expressed by Central Asian MMA fans. Not 24 hours ago I posted this Road to UFC fight between a Tajik and and Kyrgyz fighter, and it has 187 comments from fans posting flags. For context, I'm lucky to get five comments on IG these days 😜

Probably 48-47 for Ferreira but STRONG effort from Palacios. #InvictaFC61

Probably 2-2 with that armbar attempt from Palacios in R4, no? I'd already love to see a rematch of this lol. #InvictaFC61

I got it 29-28 for Lili Ferreira going into the championship rounds. Awesome footwork from Palacios but the leg kicks and grappling from Ferreira gave earned her rounds one and three.

OOOHH that right hook was FILTHY

The finishes roll on at Invicta. A left hook from Ducote off the break plants Souza and the OKC crowd loses it.

Yaaaa Jaeleen Robledo could find herself in a featherweight title fight real soon, taking Riley Martinez's 0

Helluva first round between Martinez and Robledo. Robledo desperately trying to keep the first-round subs this evening going, ending the round with a nasty armbar locked in.

Refreshing to see two featherweights in their early twenties with good records in Invicta. Jaeleen Robledo (4-1) and Riley Martinez (4-0) are likely the future of this division in desperate need of resuscitation.

OMG Claire Lopex tapped so many times while airborne while but the ref was on the wrong side... #InvictaFC61

I can confirm that 🇹🇯Aziz Khaydarov (21-6) and 🇰🇬Adilet Nurmatov (13-2) will fight in a Road to UFC lightweight non-tournament fight on May 22nd. #RoadtoUFC

A featherweight tournament fight between ONE veteran 🇰🇷Yoon Chang Min (7-2-1) and DEEP featherweight champion 🇯🇵Jin Aoi (14-5-1) is in the works for the Road to UFC. Not yet signed by both parties, I’m told. All three other featherweight fights have already been reported. #RoadtoUFC

After going 2-0 for Korean promotions, 🇰🇷Kim Sang Wook (11-3) enters his second run in Road to UFC against 🇯🇵Daichi Kamiya (6-0) at lightweight, per sources.
