Stipe Miocic reportedly hurt, out of upcoming fight?, Rousey confirms dating Browne, Jones Video
- Reports indicate that Stipe Miocic, who is scheduled to fight ‘Big’ Ben Rothwell next weekend, hurt himself in training and is out of the scheduled fight, forcing UFC officials to look out for a possible replacement. The fight is set to take place on Oct. 24, 2015, inside 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland.
Miocic, who is a frontrunner in the race to be the no.1 contender for UFC’s Heavyweight crown, is believed by many to be one victory away from earning his shot at the title. His opponent Rothwell, on the other hand is on a 3-fight win streak himself and could have laid claim to a title shot with a win over Miocic.
The Dublin card is set to be telecast on UFC Fight Pass, with the main event bout being one between Todd Duffee & Dustin Poirier. Both Miocic and Rothwell are coming off victories over top names Mark Hunt and Matt Mitrione respectively. Below is the tweet from ‘Big’ Ben following the news coming out:
- Ronda Rousey and Travis Browne have been a hot topic in the MMA community with many reports linking the pair together and Ronda’s former boyfriend Brendan Schaub talking about it on air, with his take on the whole situation.
However, following Travis Browne confirming the reports on this week’s MMA Hour show, it was only time before Ronda got asked the question herself. Ronda, true to her nature, was honest and concise about it as she issued the following statement to ESPN:
"I don't talk about my personal life much. That's why it's called 'personal life. It's true that Travis and I are in a relationship. I've really enjoyed the time we have spent together and getting to know one another. And that's all I'm going to say about it."
Travis ‘Hapa’ Browne was mired in controversy earlier this year as his wife reported him for alleged domestic abuse. However, he was cleared by the UFC, following an independent investigation by the company and is expected to make a return to the Octagon soon.
- Jon Jones, who escaped jail time, is expected to return to competition soon by MMA insiders. He has been posting the occasional instagram posts that cryptically point in that direction, however one thing for certain is that the former Light Heavyweight lynchpin is keeping himself in ‘Beast’ shape.
