UFC 310 fight rank: Is Pantoja-Asakura the main attraction?

Dec 6, 2024 | espn.com | Jeff Wagenheim

The UFC 310 main event is a mystery story, one that will play out in a narrative genre that's not so much whodunit as who-is-it. Saturday's fight pits a low-profile champion from a lower-profile weight class, men's flyweight Alexandre Pantoja, against a challenger many U.S. fans will see for the first time, Kai Asakura. Maybe leaning into the unknown is the UFC's way of building the suspense.

UFC 309 fight rankings: What is can't-miss beyond Jones-Miocic?

Nov 15, 2024 | espn.co.uk | Jeff Wagenheim |Andreas Hale |Ian Parker

Two weeks ago was the 50th anniversary of The Rumble in the Jungle, and all of the bouquets being laid at the feet of that classic heavyweight championship boxing match between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman got me thinking about -- of all things -- this weekend's heavyweight championship fight at UFC 309. What's the connection? It has to do with how diminished expectations don't always foreshadow reality. Ali's upset of Foreman is remembered today as one of the fight game's greatest moments.
El legado complicado de Jon Jones: grandeza en MMA y problemas personales

Nov 1, 2024 | espn.com.gt | Jeff Wagenheim

Algunos consideran a Jon Jones el mejor de todos los tiempos en MMA y UFC, pero su legado continúa contaminado por problemas fuera del octágono. Jon Jones apenas tenía 23 años cuando se convirtió en el campeón de los pesos semipesados de UFC en 2011 e hizo historia como el dueño de un cinturón más joven en la historia de la UFC. Parecía ser imbatible y el cielo aparentaba ser el límite para él.
