  Miesha Tate's roller-coaster year hasn't changed anything about her willingness to fight Cris Cyborg.
  Tate, the former UFC women's bantamweight champion, said recently on The MMA Hour that she would be game to move up in weight and challenge Cyborg at the same 140-pound catchweight the feared Brazilian has competed at for her first two UFC fights.
  "When I was the champ, they told me that they would not ... do a catchweight, so either she has to meet you at 135 or you have to not be the champion,

  23-10-2016 21:00
  
  Holly Holm admits she was listless in her July loss against Valentina Shevchenko, and it wasn’t necessarily because she was surprised by anything her opponent did. Holm dropped a unanimous decision that put her behind the 8-ball for the time being in the women’s bantamweight division, strictly because she didn’t perform well.
  That’s what the former bantamweight champion admitted on Monday, along with the fact that she broke her hand during the fight. She also made it very

  23-10-2016 16:00
  
  With 2016 playing out as the year of fighter awakening in the UFC, free agency has emerged as one of the key stories. Top-flight welterweight Rory MacDonald gambled on himself pretty heavily when he fought Stephen Thompson back in June on the last fight of his UFC contract.
