The cause of death was organ failure due to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, which is a rare disorder of the immune system..... ....."He was always a great kid," UFC president Dana White said of Johnson. "He was always in fun fights and he had that one-punch KO power that not many people ever had. He was a good human being. I send my condolences to his family.".....

UFC fighter and cattle farmer Bryce Mitchell spoke his mind when asked about the conflict in Ukraine prior to his fight at UFC 272 Media Day, and his response caused quite the stir. “I’m not going nowhere to fight none of these wars for these politicians,” Mitchell said at a UFC press conference. “I’m staying at home, and when the war comes to Arkansas, I will dig my boots in the ground and I will die for everything I love. And I will not retreat.”“I will dig my boots in the Arkansas soil and I will fight for the people...

"Here’s my first thought is I’m not going nowhere to fight none of these wars for these politicians. I’m staying at home and when the war comes to Arkansas, I will dig my boots in the ground and I will die for everything I love and I will not retreat."

Five days after he said he tested positive for COVID-19, UFC President Dana White revealed he has now tested negative for the virus and plans to return to work on Monday, per doctor’s orders. White clarified to TMZ that doctor is his actual doctor, not “Dr. Joe Rogan,” whom he thanked for recommending a controversial cocktail of drugs that he said treated 40 other friends of the UFC commentator, including NFL quarterback Aaron Rogers. White said his wife, daughter and mother-in-law also underwent the treatment – which includes monoclonal antibodies, a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) drip, vitamins, and the anti-parasitic...

According to superyachttimes.com, the ship is ranked as the 117th largest super-yacht in the world, and its sister ship, the Hodor serves as a trailing garage, housing the “toys,” which...

I'd like to call the Democratic Party and the liberal mainstream media stupid. I'd like to call them morons. I'd like to call them incompetent. But I can't. They're actually cunning, brilliant and pure evil. Remarkably, they covered up the fact that the Democratic National Committee and Democratic Party rigged and stole the 2016 Democratic primary on behalf of Hillary Clinton. When Donald J. Trump won the 2016 election in a massive upset, they slandered and slowed him with impeachment attempts built around phony "Russian collusion" that never happened and a perfectly legal phone call between Trump and the president...

For many fans at the UFC fight Saturday in Las Vegas, there was only one big winner, regardless of what happened inside the caged octagon. Former President Donald Trump drew a hero’s welcome from fans who had come to see the fight between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier. Trump entered T-Mobile Arena through the fighter tunnel before the welterweight bout that took place between Gilbert Burns and Stephen Thompson that immediately preceded the main attraction, according to USA Today. There were, of course, boos to be heard as Trump entered through a phalanx of raised cell phones that recorded him...

Zhang Weili, who lost her UFC strawweight championship to Rose Namajunas at Saturday's UFC 261, was targeted with a chorus of boos from the Florida crowd, apparently for no other reason than she hails from China. The UFC's first fight card to take place in front of a capacity crowd in more than a year was worth the wait. From title changes, to upsets, to stunning one-shot knockouts... and, well, whatever it was that happened to Chris Weidman's leg, but one element from the evening which may have left a bad taste in some fight fans' mouths was the not-so-warm...

Next up on the UFC 259 main card is a bantamweight title fight between Petr Yan and Aljamain Sterling.

UFC welterweight Jorge Masvidal joined Donald Trump, Jr. on his “Fighters Against Socialism” bus tour, as part of the younger Trump’s campaign to reelect his father. The tour made stops in Orlando, Coconut Creek, and Miami, Florida, and courted the vote of Hispanics, according to UFC news site BloodyElbow.com. “Since I was about knee-high, I’ve been hearing about the horrors of communism and socialism,” Masvidal said during one of the stops. “We either reelect president Trump and keep America great again, or we let Joe Biden and the radical left take us down the slippery slopes of socialism and misery.”
