Aljamain Sterling on Muhammad Mokaev, UFC Paris poster & Francis Ngannou as a gladiator

As a seasoned combat sports enthusiast with decades of ringside experience under my belt, let me share my thoughts on today’s headlines from the world of martial arts.

In this fresh, daily feature, I will dissect news from the realm of combat sports and share my insights with you. Be sure to visit us each morning for the latest headlines, whether they are major stories or hidden gems, along with my thoughts on them right here.

Aljamain Sterling reacts to UFC letting Muhammad Mokaev go

Previous bantamweight titleholder Aljamain Sterling expressed his thoughts on the debatable outcome that allowed Muhammad Mokaev following his victory at UFC 304. In Sterling’s view, “It seems unfair to me,” he stated during an interview with The MMA Hour. “I don’t believe there was a valid reason for him to be released. You can argue the shared participation in the fight at the Performance Institute, but that requires cooperation from both parties.”

Sterling is right, almost. It does seem pretty wild to cut a guy on a win streak but he’s wrong that it’s about the PI fight. It’s about much more than that, it has to be. Fighters get in scuffles all the time at the PI, the fighter hotel and more. They don’t get cut. We have to be honest that there’s more behind the scenes than we even know.

The UFC Paris poster just dropped

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has unveiled the promotional poster for UFC Paris, with Renato Moicano and Benoit Saint Denis serving as the main event fighters.

While UFC posters often fall short of expectations, considering the challenge of crafting a fresh, engaging design every week with all necessary details, it’s truly commendable. I appreciate the edgy aesthetic and find the fonts appealing. Even in black and white, it doesn’t detract from its potential as a tasteful home decor piece that wouldn’t be an eyesore.

Watch Francis Ngannou star as space gladiator in ‘Rebel Moon’

In the video above, sneak peeks of Francis Ngannou from an upcoming gladiator-style film have surfaced for your viewing pleasure.

I fully support Francis Ngannou in whatever he does to earn his wealth. It’s great when fighters have opportunities beyond MMA to advance their careers. However, based on what I’ve seen, that movie doesn’t appeal to me, so I won’t be watching it.
