Chin Check - 148 (News)

Well, Friday is here, so that means we are turning our gaze to what's been happening in the world of #MMA

Scott Coker told us that Bellator were going to make BIG announcements on 09.02.21 and that news was that SHOWTIME would be their new home! There first event will be '255' which will launch their new Light Heavyweight tournament, featuring Lyoto Machida vs Ryan Bader, Corey Anderson vs Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov, Anthony Johnson vs Yoel Romero, and Vadim Nemkov vs Phil Davis. '258' will be Juan Archuleta's first title defence against Sergio Pettis. AND the UK can finally watch all the events, as they've made a deal to exclusively stream on 'BBC iPlayer'

The women's lightweight, and men's heavyweight divisions have been announced by the PFL, and it all starts 23.04.21

He didn't get the fight, BUT 'UFC 259' will see Glover Teixeira serve as backup for main event! Nate Diaz is venting at lightweights, even though he's now a welterweight...s'posedly

PLUS, we give the 'UFC 258: Burns vs Usman' weigh-in's a quick look, and the main WILL be fighting for the strap, but there was one issue!
