Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou Fight Scheduled For The Fall

by

According to Ariel Helwani on Twitter, there is a scheduled date for the anticipated fight between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou. The fight, which is going to take place “under the official rules of professional boxing, with 3 judges ringside adopting the 10-point must system.” It will be in a regulation boxing ring with standard boxing rules implemented. They will go head-to-head in Saudi Arabia on October 28th, 2023.

This fight has been a long time coming. Tyson Fury is looking for a new challenge after running the boxing gamut. He has wanted to fight people outside of the boxing sphere because there’s honestly nobody else to fight. For Francis Ngannou, he last fought as part of the UFC, becoming the heavyweight champion and defending his title before breaking his leg. After a contract dispute between him and UFC President Dana White, Ngannou decided to remove himself from the league entirely.

Why Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou Could Be A Real Interesting Match

Francis Ngannou is now tied to the Professional Fighters League. He will be part of the PFL’s Super Fight Division next year. For now, he can focus entirely on this upcoming fight with Tyson Fury. The Gypsy King is still basking in the glory of being “the best boxer alive.” Both are expected to meet in the middle of the ring and go for an electrifying knockout of the other. The fight will no doubt be available via pay-per-view.

Per Helwani, “An agreement has been reached with Queensberry, Top Rank, and Ngannou’s promotional banner, GIMIK Fight Promotions, to partner with Riyadh Season to host the event.” That means Fury and Ngannou will get plenty of the proceeds via their promotional agencies. And while this fight will be an intriguing matchup, both fighters have called out a certain someone as a potential challenger. Jon “Bones” Jones, who just completed his triumphant comeback to the UFC, is the top contender. Fury says the UFC has sent Jones a “hybrid fight” offer for them to go against each other. And Ngannou has also said he wants a fight with “Bones.” Until Jon Jones agrees to either of them, at least we have Fury-Ngannou to look forward to.

Conor McGregor Mocks Michael Chandler After “The Ultimate Fighter” Incident

by

Conor McGregor has had a rough time of it on The Ultimate Fighter. Serving as the coach for a young and hungry stable of fighters, it hasn’t gone well. In fighters against Michael Chandler’s stable of older fighters, McGregor is 0-6. The most recent loss came in the show’s latest episode, which premiered on July 4. It featured McGregor’s Irish protege Lee Hammond taking on Kurt Holobaugh. Holobaugh (19-7) is a journeyman fighter who has had a few fights in the UFC but went 0-4 with the promotion. Hammond is 5-0, primarily fighting in small European promotions. However, he has had one outing with Bellator.

However, Holobaugh came out on top in an unexpected win, leaving McGregor “devastated” and Chandler smug. Furthermore, things quickly turned physical as McGregor and Chandler confronted one another in the Octagon. Eventually, McGregor landed the first blow as the Irish fighter delivered a two-handed shove to Chandler’s face. However, Dana White was quick to intervene before things got too physical.

McGregor Calls Out Chandler, But Fight Remains Uncertain

After the episode aired, McGregor took to Twitter with a voice message. “‘Oh, we’re gonna do this,’” McGregor said, imitating Chandler. “‘We’re gonna fight right now? We’re gonna fight right now? We’re gonna do this? We’re gonna fight right now?” McGregor said, imitating Chandler from the episode. While the two are expected to fight at some point in the future, the ball is very much in McGregor’s court.

McGregor, who hasn’t fought in the UFC since breaking his leg in 2021, is very much the one stymying the fight scheduling. McGregor is yet to re-enroll in USADA drug-testing program. Furthermore, recent allegations of sexual assault continue to plague the Irish fighter. It’s likely that the UFC is looking for a resolution in that case before moving forward with the fight. Additionally, McGregor just isn’t a priority fighter right now. As venerated as his name is, he’s lost three of his last four fights. There are simply better fights that the UFC could be putting on right now. This is a developing story and we’ll have any updates here at HotNewHipHop.

Archeologist Claims Italians Would Riot If Musk V Zuckerberg Is Held At The Colosseum

by

The ongoing saga surrounding a potential MMA fight between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg continues to get weirder by the day. After both sides got training offers from the likes of Andrew Tate and Jon Jones, the fight seemed to hit a roadblock. Musk’s mother Maya reportedly objected to the fight, causing Elon to seemingly pull out.

Then the Italian government got involved. According to both Elon and TMZ, Zuckerberg was contacted by Gennaro Sangiuliano, the Italian Minister of Culture. Reportedly, Sangiuliano offered the Colosseum as a venue for the fight. Opened in 80AD under Emporer Titus, the Colosseum was the hub of sporting and cultural entertainment for the Roman Empire. It was the largest amphitheater in the ancient world and remains the largest amphitheater still in existence. Zuck allegedly passed Sangiuliano’s contact details onto Dana White of the UFC.

Italians Might Not Like The Colosseum Being Used For A Novelty Grudge Match

While the Italian government might be on board, the Italian people might be a different issue entirely. According to Roman history expert Dr. Darius Arya (Ph.D.), who earned his PhD in classical archaeology from UT Austin in 2002, the Italians might may riot if the fight was held at the Colosseum. “To have the Colosseum mentioned alongside Musk and Zuckerberg is awesome,” Dr. Arya began. “[However] the Italians would be rioting in the streets.”

“Of course, it could never happen,” Dr. Ayra, citing the Colosseum’s status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most popular tourist attractions in Rome. Furthermore, Arya noted that despite TMZ breaking the story, the Ministry of Culture has denied reaching out to Zuckerberg. “There has been no formal contact from the ministry nor any written document,” a ministry spokesperson said. Instead, the fight, if it does happen will likely take place within the United States. Chael Sonnon claims the fight will be the headliner of UFC 300, which would likely take place in Las Vegas. However, what unique venue would you like to see the fight take place in? Let us know in the comments. Follow all the latest sports news here at HotNewHipHop.

Miami Heat Nix Conor McGregor Partnership After Mascot Stunt

by

Game 4 of the NBA Finals has gone down in infamy for Conor McGregor. He was accused of raping a woman just after the game concluded. However, he also sent the Heat’s mascot to the hospital. Partway through the third quarter, the UFC veteran came onto the court alongside Burnie, the Heat’s anthropomorphized fireball mascot. Burnie donned novelty boxing gloves before almost immediately being rocked by a 1-2 punch combo from McGregor. As the mascot writhed on the floor, McGregor sprayed him with a pain relief aerosol. The stunt had been set up to promote the spray, which McGregor co-owns.

However, it was later reported that the man inside the mascot costume had been sent to the ER and received pain medication following the incident. Later, McGregor said that he had visited the man. “The mascot is good. It was a skit, and all is well,” the MMA veteran said. “I spent a lot of time with him afterward, we talked it out, everything is great. It was all part of the show!” Despite McGregor’s assurances, it was likely not the promotion that Tidl Sport Recovery Spray was looking for. That appears to be the case given the latest news out of Miami.

Heat Reportedly Backing Out Of Deal With McGregor

“This was very bad for an otherwise crystal clean organization,” said an insider. “I can’t imagine the Heat brass want the Tidl Sports patch on their jerseys — it’s a reminder of the 24 hours of hell the organization went through.” Reportedly, the deal would have seen Heat players wearing branded patches on their uniforms in the 2023-24 season. However, it appears that the Heat want to distance themselves from the fighter. Literally KOing a team’s mascot will do that.

Furthermore, the other allegations from that night have given the Heat pause for concern. While there has been little progression in the case in recent weeks, McGregor is still accused of violently assaulting a woman at the Heat’s arena. Even if the accusations are proven to be false, it’s yet another thing that taints McGregor’s presence at the Kaseya Center. For the time being, it appears that Miami’s cashing out of the partnership with the pain spray.

Musk V Zuckerberg Receives Venue Offer From Italian Government

by

The saga of the MMA bout between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg continues to get ever weirder. It all began when Musk, while ranting about Zuckerberg on Twitter, challenged the Meta founder to a “cage match”. Zuckerberg almost immediately accepted the fight on Instagram.

Subsequently, Dana White of the UFC got involved to assure the internet that both men were “dead serious” about actually squaring off. Furthermore, it appeared that White was angling for the UFC to serve as the fight’s promotion. Meanwhile, training offers began to come in for both sides. Musk received offers from Andrew Tate, Dominick Cruz, and Georges St. Pierre, while Zuckerberg received an offer from Jon Jones.

Hype continued to climb, with former UFC mainstay Chael Sonnen claiming that the fight would headline UFC 300. Elsewhere, reality began to set in amongst the competitors. During a Twitter Spaces, Musk admitted that the fight could “go badly for him” given Zuckerberg’s very real dedication to martial arts and combat sports. Finally, the fight appeared to be dead when Musk announced that he was reconsidering the fight due to concerns from his mother. Despite this, a very unusual source has arisen to potentially revive the fight.

Italian Government Offer Colosseum As Musk-Zuckerberg Fight Venue

According to Musk on Twitter, and confirmed by TMZ, the fight could be going ahead at the Colosseum in Rome. Opened in 80AD under Emporer Titus, the Colosseum was the hub of sporting and cultural entertainment for the Roman Empire. It was the largest amphitheater in the ancient world and remains the largest amphitheater still in existence.

Per TMZ, Gennaro Sangiuliano, the Italian Minister of Culture, reportedly reached out to Zuckerberg earlier this week to offer the Colosseum as a fight venue. The UFC is now allegedly in discussions with the Ministry of Culture about the feasibility of the event.

However, as grand as the spectacle would be, it’s unlikely that the fight would actually happen inside the Colosseum. Due to it being nearly 2000 years old and protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1980, you can’t exactly turn into the setting for a pay-per-view. The maximum capacity is listed at a few hundred. Furthermore, the amount of work needed to make it fit to host, say, a landmark UFC event, would likely be prohibitively extensive. We’ll keep you updated on this story as it continues to unfold.

Rose Namajunas To Make Flyweight Debut In Paris

In actual MMA news, it was recently revealed that Rose Namajunas will be making her highly anticipated flyweight debut this September in Paris. First reported by MMA Junkie, Namajunas will face French fighter Manon Fiorot at UFC Fight Night Paris on September 2. Fiorot has reportedly wanted the Namajunas for some time but is only now getting the chance.

11-5 in her MMA career (9-4 in the UFC), Namajunas announced her intention to leave strawweight after a title fight loss to Carla Esparaza at UFC 274 in May 2022. Her flyweight debut pits her against ESPN‘s #3 fighter in the division, Fiorot. The French fighter (10-1, 5-0 UFC) has been steadily working her way up the division after debuting in January 2021. If she can continue to perform well, she will likely challenge the winner of the Grasso-Shevchenko rematch/triology.

There is a lot on the line with this fight. For Namajunas, a win would validate her division move and show that she is a force to be reckoned with across two divisions. With the retirement of Amanda Nunes earlier this year, there is currently a power vacuum in women’s MMA that Namajunas could potentially muscle her way into.

Chael Sonnen Makes Massive Claim On Zuckerberg Vs. Musk

by

Chael Sonnen is one of the greatest hypemen in MMA history. The former MMA star’s ability to sell a fight is on a level no other man can reach in the sport. Not even Conor McGregor has the chops to go head to head in a promo battle with the “American Gangster.” Which is why it might be hard to find out the truth in Sonnen’s interview with Ariel Helwani on Monday. During his appearance on Helwani’s show, Sonnen teased news on the potential matchup between Zuckerberg and Elon Musk.

Musk and Zuckerberg seemingly have found themselves in the middle of an interesting rumor. The two social media titans agreed to an MMA bout recently through Twitter. The back and forth quickly caught the attention of UFC President Dana White. White has stated that he has been in contact with the pair on setting up a bout. However, no official news from the UFC has been announced on a set bout. But on Monday, Sonnen gave the world some insight into the situation.

Fact Or Fiction With Chael Sonnen

In the clip above, Sonnen tells Helwani that Zuckerberg personally told him the fight is official. Sonnen claims that Zuckerberg and Musk have agreed to fight at UFC 300. The event is bound to be a star-studded affair. As the UFC has rolled out supercard events in the past with UFC 100 and UFC 200. Now UFC 300 could be headlined by a fight that nobody could have ever imagined. Whether or not Sonnen is telling the truth could be the tricky part. However, just throwing it out there that the matchup could take place at UFC 300 is a brilliant move by Sonnen.

If the potential fight ever becomes a reality, it makes perfect sense to be under the UFC umbrella. However, one would have to think that this bout would create the highest buy rate in UFC PPV history. Is the time for talk over? Will Musk and Zuckerberg actually meet inside the octagon? Who do you believe holds the edge in the contest? With so many questions left unanswered, let us know what you think in the comment section. For the latest news in sports, keep it locked in here with HNHH.

Conor McGregor Vows To Fight Again Amidst Legal Trouble

by

The Notorious Conor McGregor is always in the news, but rarely is it ever for what made him famous. The UFC fighter — who draws large crowds and Pay-Per-View numbers for the MMA sport — is in hot water over rape allegations in Florida. During Game Four of the 2023 NBA Finals between the Denver Nuggets and Miami Heat, a woman claims McGregor sexually assaulted her in a bathroom at the Kaseya Center. Florida officials are investigating the matter, and Conor McGregor has not been arrested or charged yet.

Most recently, McGregor was leaving The Peninsula, a posh New York City hotel with his fiancee and children in tow. A mob of fans was waiting for the former double-champion to voice their support against the allegations. According to TMZ Sports, Conor McGregor appreciates the backing. “Thank you so much for the support,” he said, “appreciate the support.” And while there is indeed support for the estranged fighter, one has to wonder how much rope is left for the oft-maligned celebrity.

Conor McGregor’s Checkered Past & Future

Conor McGregor has not fought since he broke his leg fighting at UFC 264 against Dustin Poirier in July 2021. However, he still plans to get back in the octagon. “Fighting. Looking to get a fight going,” he said when asked about his future. Currently, he is coaching on The Ultimate Fighter, UFC’s flagship reality TV series. Michael Chandler is coaching the other team on the show. The two of them plan on fighting each other in a lightweight bout after the show ends. (They have yet to set a date for this.)

This is definitely not the first time Conor McGregor got himself into trouble for his public behavior. The Irishman has multiple driving offenses, UFC celebrity clashes, sexual assault allegations in Dublin, violent attacks, and arrests under his belt. Before the most recent sexual assault claim, he punched the Miami Heat mascot, Burnie, to promote his pain relief spray. It was a planned skit, but McGregor may have taken it too far. The man in the mascot costume went to the local hospital emergency room for treatment. He was later released in good health.

Elon Musk Admits Mark Zuckberg Fight Could Go “Badly” For Him

by

Battle lines are being drawn in the cage fight between tech giants Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. Musk issued the challenge earlier this week, with the META founder quickly accepting. According to the UFC’s Dana White, both men are “dead serious” about taking part. Some logistical obstacles do remain, such as a date, location, and promotion. Furthermore, Musk is significantly heavier than Zuckerberg, as much as three weight classes higher per standard MMA division. Despite this, oddsmakers are giving Zuckerberg a significant advantage over his South African rival.

Meanwhile, big names from the MMA world are starting to throw out offers of help to post fighters. Embattled kickboxer and influencer Andrew Tate posted an offer to train Musk. This is due to Zuckerberg’s platforms banning him over his spreading of COVID misinformation. Meanwhile, UFC legend Jon Jones offered his services to Zuckerberg, after the two formed a friendship earlier this year. However, now Musk has spoken publicly about for the first time since issuing the challenge.

Musk Acknowledges He’s The Underdog; Gets Another Training Offer

(Photo by Chesnot/Getty Images)

Joining Bloomberg reporter Ashley Vance on a Twitter space earlier this week, Musk was immediately asked about the fight against Zuckerberg. Vance pointed out that Zuckerberg is actively learning Brazilian jiu-jitsu, kickboxing, Muay Thai, wrestling, and boxing. After this preamble, Vance noted that the fight could “go badly” for Musk, who only enters with a height and weight advantage. “Yeah, that’s possible,” Musk conceded before saying that he’s still willing to try and that the fight “might still happen.” Musk has painted himself into a corner, unable to retract his challenge without looking like he’s running away from his tech rival.

In the meantime, Musk has also received a new offer of training. However, this one has a little more legitimacy than Tate, as it comes from UFC fighter Dominick Cruz. “I would coach and train Elon Musk in a heartbeat. I would start with him immediately. I’m a fan of that guy and the things that he’s doing for the world and the things that he stands for,” Cruz told TMZ. Cruz is 24-4 in his MMA career and a former bantamweight title holder. However, Cruz is also 2-3 in his last five fights and hasn’t held the division belt since 2016. If Musk and Zuck do fight, who do you think will win? Let us know in the comments.

Rose Namajunas To Make Flyweight Debut At UFC Paris

by

Rose Namajunas helped define the inclusion of women in the UFC. An appearance on Season 20 of The Ultimate Fighter saw Namajunas make the move from Invicta to the UFC. While she lost to Carla Esparza in the inaugural women’s strawweight title fight, she more than earned her spot in the promotion.

Between 2015 and 2022, the Milwaukee-born fighter remained one of the division’s stalwarts, taking the title for herself with a TKO of Joanna Jędrzejczyk at UFC 217. However, a pattern began to emerge. Numajunas would win the title, defend it, then lose it on the second defense.

After losing the title to Esparza at UFC 274 in May 2022, Namajunas decided it was time for a change. She declared her intention to move up to flyweight and is now set to make her division debut against Manon Fiorot this September.

Namajunas-Fiorot Joins UFC Fight Night Paris Card

First reported by MMA Junkie, Namajunas will face French fighter Manon Fiorot at UFC Fight Night Paris on September 2. Fiorot has reportedly wanted the Namajunas for some time but is only now getting the chance. However, despite her pedigree, it’s safe to say that Namajunas is throwing herself into the fire with this debut.

Fiorot is one of the UFC’s fastest-rising fighters. She joined the promotion from UAE Warriors in 2021, scoring a TKO over Victoria Leonardo at Chiesa vs. Magny. She is 5-0 under the UFC banner, most recently taking down Katlyn Chookagian via unanimous decision at UFC 280 in October 2022. However, she’s been sidelined ever since by knee surgery.

There is a lot on the line with this fight. For Namajunas, a win would validate her division move and show that she is a force to be reckoned with across two divisions. Meanwhile, victory for Fiorot takes her another step closer to a title challenge. While it would need to wait until the resolution of a potential Grasso-Schevchenko trilogy, Fiorot has done nothing but prove herself since joining the UFC.

UFC Paris Set For Epic Card

Namajunas vs. Fiorot is not the only banger confirmed for UFC Paris. The card will be headlined by a showdown between Ciryl Gane and Sergey Spivak. It’s Gane’s second time headlining a Fight Night in Paris. The French fighter defeated Tai Tuivasa in 2022.

It’s a chance to bounce back for Gane, who has lost two of his last three fights. Most recently, he was dropped in the first round by Jon Jones. who claimed the heavyweight belt in his division debut. The 16-3 Spivak enters the fight on the back of three consecutive wins. The 28-year-old Moldovan fighter is still working his way toward being in title fight contention. He holds a 7-3 record since joining the UFC in 2019.

Three other fights have so far been announced for the card. Volkan Oezdemir (18-7) faces Azamat Murzakanov (13-0) in the men’s light heavyweight division. Meanwhile, there are two women’s bantamweight fights. Zarah Fairn Dos Santos (6-5) takes on Hailey Cowan (7-3). Additionally, Joselyne Edwards (13-4) fights Nora Cornolle (6-1).

Now Zuckerberg is getting his own training offer, this one from UFC champion and MMA legend Jon Jones.

Jon Jones Says He’s “Team Zuck”

Jones tweeted out his support for Zuckerberg on June 23. Their friendship formed earlier this year, when Jones commented positively about a video of Zuck sparring in the metaverse with Alex Volkanovski. In return, Zuckerberg wished Jones luck in his upcoming title fight against Ciryl Gane.

Jones is one of the UFC’s most decorated fighters. 27-1 in his career, he currently holds the heavyweight division belt after forcing a first-round submission out of Gane. Before that, he spent nine years defending the light heavyweight title and forging a career as one of the faces of the promotion.

With the fight set to be a cage match, aka MMA, Jones’ training could be invaluable to shoring up the victory for Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg is already reportedly proficient in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but Jones’ tutelage could make him unstoppable. Zuckerberg is yet to publicly respond to the offer.

Jones Could Be Training Zuck And Fighting Fury

Musk v Zuckerberg is not the only headline fight that Jones could find himself involved in. According to reports, the UFC recently submitted a fight offer that would see him take on boxing champion Tyson Fury. The idea of a Fury v Jones fight came about after Joe Rogan suggested that Jones would dominate in a fight between the two juggernauts.

Fury responded with an expletive-laden video, calling out both Rogan and Jones. Furthermore, Fury is currently struggling to find people willing to fight him. WBC president Mauricio Sulaimán recently said that Fury was a “victim of his own success” and “He’s that good, people don’t want to fight him.”

Jones was quick to respond to Fury’s comments on Twitter. “Hey Tyson, it seem like Joe may have struck a nerve. I’ll admit there’s no one touching you in that ring right now, but let’s not let that confuse you with what would happen if you stepped foot in my cage. If you ever want to put some of those questions you got going on to rest, give Dana a call. I’ll help you out.”
