Israel Adesanya’s Ex-Girlfriend Reportedly Takes Him To Court For Half His Wealth

by

One of the UFC and the wider mixed martial arts world’s most well-known stars just got a relationship bomb dropped on his lap. Moreover, his ex-girlfriend Charlotte Powdrell reportedly sued the fighter for half his wealth because “they dated too long and she supported his career.” As such, the little information we have of this development indicates that it’s taking shape as somewhat of a divorce case. Furthermore, fans expressed confusion and dismissal at the news, but it’s important to note that other things could’ve happened behind the scenes that we don’t know of and could paint this motion differently.

Still, this is a relatively early story and the Nigerian-New Zealander hasn’t responded to this development publicly as of writing this article. While it’s startling, it’s also too early to say how it will take shape. For those unfamiliar with Israel Adesanya, he recently reclaimed the title of UFC middleweight champion after beating rival Alex Pereira. However, that rivalry is something he cherishes. After their brawl, he remarked on what their long history means to him and gave him his due respect and flowers.

Ben Askren Implies His Wife Is Ugly, Gets Roasted

by

Ben Askren is pretty well done with his fighting career. Overall, he was a hated figure in the UFC. One can simply harken back to his fight against Jorge Masvidal to see what we mean. Moreover, he has a horrendous match against Jake Paul that saw him get knocked out in the first round. Consequently, there haven’t been many more opportunities for Askren in the fight game. He could have gone the WWE route, however, he has decided to stay home and be a family man with his wife and kids.

Speaking of his wife Amy, Ben Askren tried to pay homage to her last night on Instagram. The idea of an out-of-the-blue appreciation post is quite cute. After all, these things feel a lot more genuine when they aren’t prompted by a birthday or Mother’s Day. Although, Askren couldn’t help himself as he delivered an underwhelming caption that had most fans thinking he called his wife ugly. “I’ve seen some guys posting on social media lately about how they are winning bc their wife is attractive, while I don’t disagree I think finding a wife who is a great mother is 500% more important!!!” he wrote.

Ben Askren Swings And Misses

If you were to go into the comments of the post, you would see that everyone is asking the same question. Overall, people wanted to know if he was actually calling his wife unattractive, or at least implying that this was the case. Subsequently, in a second post, Ben Askren made it abundantly clear that he does, in fact, think his wife is good-looking. “She’s not insecure and I don’t need to state the obvious!” he wrote in the second post.

Overall, this is a sure-fire way of sleeping on the couch or in the proverbial doghouse. Either way, it made for a pretty hilarious moment on social media, and fans aren’t too upset about it. They got to laugh at a UFC fighter who has given us plenty of reasons to laugh at him. Hopefully, he has learned a valuable lesson about the internet and how to post.

A Second Attempt

Conor McGregor Netflix Documentary Announced

by

Conor McGregor once thought he would never fight again. The MMA legend suffered a horrific leg break back in 2021 during his bout with Dustin Poirier. The injury led to an immediate stoppage of the fight. While McGregor was also taken into surgery soon after his arrival at the hospital. A moment like this would be dark for any person to have to go to. However, McGregor is ready to share with the world his return from such a tough injury.

On Tuesday, McGregor and Netflix announced a documentary that will follow McGregor’s challenge of returning to the octagon. The UFC star hasn’t been seen inside the cage since that horrific injury. However, the time is swiftly coming for the return of the Irish star. McGregor has been filming the latest season of The Ultimate Fighter. The Notorious one is coaching opposite Michael Chandler for the latest season. After the airing of the season, Chandler will welcome McGregor back to the UFC.

Conor McGregor Ready For Return

No MMA star has attracted a fanbase like McGregor. The former UFC champion brings an audience every time he steps into the cage. McGregor has been a part of some of the biggest moments in UFC history. Including his swift knockout of Jose Aldo back in 2015. The victory marked the first time McGregor would hold gold inside the octagon. But it wouldn’t be the last time. McGregor became a two-weight class champion in 2016 after defeating Eddie Alvarez for the lightweight title. A moment that cemented McGregor as one of the best in UFC history.

McGregor’s legacy has already been written. The Irish star is a surefire Hall-of-Famer. However, the comeback isn’t necessarily all about legacy. A fighter wants to prove they still have what it takes to step into the ring and face an opponent. The documentary is set to drop on May 17th on Netflix. Do you believe Conor McGregor will have a successful return to the cage when he faces Michael Chandler? Let us know your thoughts on McGregor’s return to the octagon.

by

Nate Diaz made headlines over the weekend after being filmed choking someone out in the streets of New Orleans. The incident was quickly circulated all over social media. Now it seems that Diaz may face legal action for what transpired on the streets of New Orleans. On Monday, New Orleans police issued a warrant for the arrest of Diaz. The MMA star is being charged with second-degree battery. When video of the incident first hit social media, users were claiming the victim of the choke-out was a Logan Paul lookalike.

However, Peterson has vowed revenge on Diaz for the incident. Diaz was in New Orleans to support friends that were involved in a boxing contest. Now the weekend in New Orleans will not be forgotten any time soon.

Diaz’s boxing contest will Paul in August will be his first fight of any capacity since becoming a UFC free agent. The former UFC star had seen a lot of breaks in between fights recently. But that could be because Diaz wants fights that are going to pay him what he believes he is worth. The impending matchup with Paul will certainly be a massive payday for both stars.

Paul has scored wins over numerous MMA stars. Including two victories over Tyrone Woodley. As well as a viral knockout of Ben Askren. However, the build-up for Diaz and Paul will be of epic proportions. In Louisiana, second-degree battery is punishable by up to eight years in prison.

Stipe Miocic Takes Shot At Jon Jones

by

Stipe Miocic has been a rumored opponent of Jon Jones since Jones announced his move to heavyweight. However, with Jones’ recent domination of Ciryl Gane, the rumors have only heated up more. In his heavyweight fight inside the UFC, Jones earned the title of UFC Heavyweight champion. Jones made quick work of Gane, submitting the top heavyweight in just two minutes. Miocic just happened to be in attendance for the fight. With camera quickly finding the former champ in the crowd.

Jones is arguably the greatest fighter in UFC history. The former Light-Heavyweight champion has defeated every opponent he has ever faced in the octagon. However, Miocic is not some slouch looking for a big fight. Miocic once reigned over the Heavyweight championship as well. Including wins over Francis Ngannou and two victories over Daniel Cormier. But Miocic hasn’t been seen in the octagon since a brutal TKO loss to Ngannou in 2021. The bout saw Ngannou claim the Heavyweight title. Which in Ngannnou later dropped after a shocking departure from the company.

Stipe Miocic Ready To Take Heavyweight Crown

Dana White was recently a guest on The Pat McAfee Show. During his appearance, White mentioned that he hasn’t spoken to Jones since the fighter’s heavyweight debut. White mentioned that Jones wants the fight with Miocic. But to just let him know when the time is right. Miocic got a chance to see the clip of White discussing Jones, then fired off the above tweet. The former Cleveland firefighter seemed to accuse Jones of potentially running from the big matchup. A claim that Jones has made about Miocic as well.

The biggest heavyweight fight to make right now would be Miocic and Jones. While Ngannou and Jones felt like the bigger ticket, that fight isn’t an option. Miocic is ready to step up to the plate. So it now seems like it is up to White to make the fight official. A Jones victory will only further cement “Bones” as being the greatest fighter in all of MMA. However, a Miocic victory could open the door for a potential of multiple fights between them. Do you believe Stipe Miocic has what it takes to take down Jon Jones?

Trump sat in the front row at the event along with Kid Rock, Mike Tyson, and Dana White. His eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., was also in attendance. The appearance comes as Trump faces 34 felony charges of falsifying business records regarding payments made to Stormy Daniels. He was arraigned in New York City, last week, making him the first former president to be charged with a crime. He flew back to Mar-a-Lago afterward and spoke about the incident in a speech to his supporters.

“The only crime that I’ve committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it,” he said at the time. “The criminal is the district attorney because he illegally leaked massive amounts of grand jury information, for which he should be prosecuted — or at a minimum, he should resign.” Trump is currently running for the GOP bid to be president again in 2024. His biggest Republican opponent is Ron DeSantis.
