The King of the Fight

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.
