  “The Gladiator” went toe-to-toe with Dennis Bermudez for three rounds on the main card of UFC Boise last Saturday, eking out a split decision win that was somewhat marred by confusing scoring. The judges that scored the fight for Glenn gave him a 30-27 and a 29-28, while Bermudez earned a 29-28.
  Afterwards, Bermudez, who is now on a four-fight skid, wasn’t shy about sharing his thoughts on the ve

  21-07-2018 19:00
  CURITIBA, Brazil — Every professional athlete wants money and success, and going after that was what kept Invicta FC strawweight Kinberly Novaes under unnecessary pressure.

Going 0-2 could mean the end of her run in the promotion, but not thinking about anything other than fighting is her secret
