Austin Hubbard Relieved To Win Caged Aggression Title After Losing Brother

It was a very, very, very tough training camp last time out for former UFC fighter Austin Hubbard. It was amazing for Hubbard (15-6) to even make it to the fight because he had an absolutely terrible fight camp. Nothing was gonna stop me.”On top of losing his brother, Hubbard was coming to the fight pretty badly injured. You know, I’ve never had a fight camp that I didn’t want to do. I mean, like, I had no interest in doing the training camp, even fighting, although I knew I would not pull out.

UFC 280: Dariush Looks to Hold Ranking Against Upstart Gamrot

After a patient route up the lightweight rankings, Beneil Dariush has a chance to lock in a title shot as he faces a hungry upstart in Mateusz Gamrot at UFC 280. After stringing together a seven fight win-streak, the King’s MMA product was matched up with upcoming title challenger Islam Makhachev in a high stakes bout. The two delivered an exciting contest that saw the veteran experience and conditioning of Gamrot prevail in a five round decision. As such, a potential striking bout between takedown attempts on paper favors Gamrot should Dariush be unable to control the center of the Octagon. Should Makhachev win, the Dariush/Gamrot winner would still be a viable option but face serious competition from the winner of the upcoming bout between Dustin Poirier and Michael Chandler in November.

UFC 281: Esparza and Zhang Seek Redemptive Performances at MSG

Reigning champion Carla Esparza is looking to change the conversation from her uneventful last outing while Zhang Weili is looking to make the most out of her second chance to reclaim gold at UFC 281. Her last fight was historic as she reclaimed the UFC strawweight championship seven years after she last held it and capped off a six fight win-streak with a seminal victory. The dynamic attack of Zhang will be the biggest weapon on either side and will be the toughest challenge for Esparza to overcome. For Esparza, movement and feints as she works her way inside for takedowns will once again be crucial to neutralize her opponent. For Zhang, similar options would be open although a third fight with Namajunas after losing two consecutive bouts to her last year would be difficult to sell.
