MMAtown – UFC & MMA News, Live Results and Fight Analysis

DWCS 2026 Week 7 features Norbert Novenyi Jr. vs. Theo Haig, two undefeated welterweights and a closely priced lightweight fight between Piero Guaylupo and Callum Connor. MMAtown breaks down all five matchups, including the appeal of Guaylupo near even odds and the risks behind the card’s heavier favorites.

Sean Sharaf pulled off one of the biggest upsets in UFC history, knocking out Olympic champion Gable Steveson in just 12 seconds at UFC 331. The story only got stranger afterward: Sharaf revealed massive debt and bankruptcy plans before Dana White awarded him an additional $100,000.

MMAtown's UFC 331 predictions focus on three very different plays: Joshua Van at around 1.90 against Alexandre Pantoja, Mauricio Ruffy as a high-risk 4.00 underdog against Arman Tsarukyan, and Doo Ho Choi by KO/TKO at 2.70 against Patricio Pitbull. Van is our strongest of the three; the other two require more caution.

Fedor Emelianenko has reopened one of MMA's oldest unanswered questions. Nearly 20 years after a fight with Randy Couture fell apart amid Couture's UFC contract dispute, Fedor says he still trains, remains open to competing and would prefer Couture over Brock Lesnar: “I'm ready if he's ready.”

DWCS 2026 Week 6 produced four UFC contracts and four finishes at the Meta APEX. Akbar Abdullaev needed only 19 seconds for a one-punch knockout, while Mayton Perea, Igor Cavalcanti and Luis Hernandez also earned deals. Tyshawn Williams stayed unbeaten but was instead offered another Contender Series opportunity.
