Latest News From The UFC

No one who appreciates a good fight should go without knowing what’s happening in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Like boxing predictions, UFC has established itself as a fixture in the combat sports industry and garnered a massive fan base. Something interesting is always occurring in the UFC, from major wars and title challenges to conflicts and controversies. Let’s check out some of the most recent MMA headlines.

The PPV Rates

The cost of following UFC events has increased dramatically in recent years. As Adam Stern of Sports Business Journal reported, the price of a UFC pay-per-view (PPV) event has increased from $74.99 to $79.99. One year after the previous $5 increase, which took the price of an event from $69.99 to the current $74.99, the price has increased again.

The yearly plan costs an extra $100 if a fan is ready to commit. Since the organization typically hosts one PPV event monthly, a true fan must shell out approximately $960 to see the action. ESPN+, which is an increase of 43%, isn’t included.

The first event to implement the new price is UFC 283. The main event features a Light Heavyweight title fight between Glover Teixeira and Jamahal Hill. In contrast, the co-main event features a defense of Deiveson Figueiredo’s Flyweight title against Brandon Moreno. 

What Are the Odds?

UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski and UFC bantamweight and featherweight champion Amanda Nunes are now ranked number one and number two on the official UFC pound-for-pound lists for men and women, respectively. 

They are most likely similar to some of the best boxing picks. The odds on Volkanovski are -225, while the best bet is on Nunes at -250. This makes it clear why BetOnline.ag has these two as the favorites to win championships before the end of 2023.

To begin the year 2023, Volkanovski will make his first attempt at the Lightweight title, despite the odds being tailored to his class. He can become a double champion, although he is a +500 underdog. At UFC 284 on February 11, 2023, in Perth, Australia, Volkanovski will face Islam Makhachev, the current 155-pound champion.

Chael Sonnen

Chael Sonnen, a former UFC middleweight and light heavyweight championship contender, turned down a plea agreement from prosecutors in “Sin City” on criminal offenses from a hotel incident that occurred in late 2021.

The charges against Sonnen, 45, stem from an alleged sexual assault at the Four Seasons Las Vegas in December of last year, in which many people were hurt. Although the initial accusations were dropped without consequence, the updated case now includes several minor counts.

Although the self-proclaimed “Bad Guy” hasn’t fought professionally since losing via technical knockout to Lyoto Machida in June 2019 for Bellator MMA, he’s still making headlines thanks to his popular “You’re Welcome” podcast.

Putting a Foot Down

Paulo Costa will not compete when the UFC returns to Australia shortly.

This week, it was reported that Costa’s scheduled fight with Robert Whittaker at UFC 284 on February 11, 2023, in Perth, Australia, had been canceled. To put it bluntly, “Borrachinha,” said the contract was never finalized.

For Costa, national pride is a major contributor to the exploitation of Brazilian boxers. For Costa, national pride is a major contributor to the exploitation of Brazilian fighters. Costa started regularly describing the fight as fake after the promotion advertised it on social media. He was also guilty of it, so he figured it was time to put his foot down.

When Whittaker was offered a show-win payout of $70,000, Costa felt it was insufficient to fight off this magnitude on the former champion’s home turf. Instead, Costa requested “a little bit higher” statistics for his paycheck and opted out of being tied down to a long series of battles.

Everyone, from die-hard fans to casual spectators who enjoy a good scrap, can agree that UFC is a lot of fun to watch. Big bouts, title defenses, rivalries, and controversy never fail to provide exciting updates on what’s happening in the UFC.
