There is already a precedent of a massive athlete who decided to change sports at a competitive level of his life, his name is Brock Lesnar. He went on to become the heaviest Heavyweight UFC champion of the world. For an expert in this sport like Joe Rogan, talking about LeBron James possibly making this transition has a similar feeling to what Brock did. For his size alone, LeBron James already has a major advantage against any opponent.

Learning mixed martial arts takes many years but the size factor is always important to consider, especially at heavyweight. For Joe Rogan, James would be just as dominant in the UFC as he was in the NBA but size is only part of it. Rogan also counts the incredibly competitive spirit LeBron James has, which also needs to be taken under consideration.

After looking at Mark Zuckerberg's physique, it's still hard to understand how Elon Musk keeps poking the bear and keeps trying to push for a fight between the two tech moguls. The Facebook founder has been training with actual MMA professionals for almost two years and his skill set has exponentially increased.

Even if Elon Musk is much larger than Zuckerberg, skill tends to trump size almost every time. With Elon Musk getting snaps with other UFC legends such as Georges St-Pierre the Threads' head huncho wanted to drop a photo album of his own right after a training session. We hadn't seen Stylebender hanging out with Zuckerberg at all.

The situation turned unpleasant inside the cage after Dricus Du Plessis delivered a knockout blow to Robert Whittaker at UFC 290 on Saturday, July 8, 2023, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

This victory secured Du Plessis a chance to compete for the Middleweight championship against Israel Adesanya.

Yet, there has been an escalating conflict between Du Plessis and Adesanya, primarily fueled by some questionable comments made by Du Plessis regarding Adesanya's heritage.

Du Plessis wants to become the first authentic African champion, emphasizing that he not only hails from South Africa but also resides and trains there.

UFC President Dana White always tries to commend respect everywhere he goes and is quite unapollogetic about it. He is vociferous towards everybody he can and wants everyone to make sure he is 'f**king Dana White' standing in front of you. This happens with almost everybody, unless you are a UFC star.

White doesn't mouth at legends like Khabib Nurmagomedov or Jon Jones. But none of them speaks disrespectfully like Conor McGregor does. This was evident on the Irishman's recent Netflix documentary about his life story in the sport. Specifically, a moment right after losing against Khabib was quite interesting to comedian and former UFC fighter Brendan Schaub.

Manny Pacquiao is going to have to may north of $8 million in damages to Paradigm Entertainment, who also happen to represent Conor McGregor. The former boxing champion lost a legal battle against this representation after 'PacMan' failed to have a fight under Paradigm after signing a contract in 2020.

One of his possible opponents was none other than Conor McGregor himself but he was instead sued due to breach of contract. The case was won by Paradigm in the state of California and the jury is forcing Pacquiao to pay for damages. Conor decided to take it up to Twitter and bash Pacquiao for breaching his contract back in 2020.
