Each day, several important events occur in the world of MMA. But due to the strict time constraints of today, many fans frequently miss out on these updates. Hence, we are here once more with our MMA news roundup to enlighten such fans. It will keep you updated regarding the world of your beloved sport, providing you with insight into a few noteworthy MMA world incidents from the last 24 hours.

Today, after starting off with Israel Adesanya’s words for Chael Sonnen trash-talking about Mark Zuckerberg calling him, we’ll also know about a noted former boxing world champion bashing Conor McGregor’s boxing prowess. Lastly, we’ll take a look at Brandon Moreno’s Francis Ngannou-like desire and draw the curtains to this edition.

Israel Adesanya derided Chael Sonnen’s lies about the Mark Zuckerberg call

Numerous fans have recommended UFC fighters join the Chael Sonnen school of trash-talking to improve their skills on the mic. Hence, when it comes to trash-talking, there’s hardly anyone better than ‘The American Gangster’. Sonnen showcased this virtue of himself recently when he claimed that the noted Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, had called him to express his desire. ‘The Bad Guy’ said, ‘Zuck’ wanted to headline the UFC 300 with his touted bout with the Twitter CEO, Elon Musk.

However, all of this proved to be trash-talking only, when one of Zuckerberg’s representatives denied Sonnen’s claims later. The UFC Featherweight, Sodiq Yusuff, was the first one to take a jibe at Sonnen’s tall claims as he wrote, “I can confirm this. He[Zuckerberg] called me too”. The UFC Middleweight champ, Israel Adesanya, also joined Yussuf as he took his own shot at the loud-mouthed Sonnen. Izzy’s tweet read, “Me three”.

Most fans have probably realized that ‘Izzy’s’ caption was just a continuation of Yusuff’s mockery of Sonnen. How do you think ‘The Bad Guy’ might respond to this if he does at all?

A former two-weight boxing champ criticized Conor McGregor’s boxing skills

Despite the noted Dustin Poirier, labeling Conor McGregor as the hardest puncher in UFC, the former two-weight boxing champ, Paulie Malignaggi sees nothing special in McGregor’s boxing. Most fans would also agree that despite McGregor offering quite some resistance in his boxing bout against Floyd Mayweather, his prowess was nowhere near matchable.

Malignaggi also presented a somewhat similar opinion as he stated, “Conor’s boxing skills are so brutal that I think even a YouTuber like AnEsonGib would beat Conor McGregor in a boxing ring”. It’s pertinent to note that ‘AnEsonGib’ is a YouTuber who often goes for celebrity boxing bouts. He had also taken on the famed Jake Paul in 2020. But that bout ended in a defeat for him.

Malignaggi further stated, “I worked with Gib for his first [fight] last year against Austin McBroom and Gib brings a lot of stress and a lot of pressure. At this point, I think he’d even beat up Conor McGregor in a boxing ring.”

Looking at the personality of ‘Mystic Mac’ most fans would expect him to strike back with a reply. What do you think it might be and how soon it may come?

Brandon Moreno expressed his desire to engage in boxing bouts like Francis Ngannou

Seeing UFC fighters inside the boxing ring is no more a paradoxical sight now. While some like Conor McGregor, take time off their MMA careers to get inside the boxing ring. There are others like Jose Aldo as well, who have entirely switched to boxing after saying goodbye to the cage. One of the noted names who has been willing to get into the boxing ring is the current PFL Heavyweight and former UFC Heavyweight kingpin, Francis Ngannou.

But recently, the UFC Flyweight kingpin, Brandon Moreno, also expressed his desire to follow a similar track. In a recent interview with ‘Betr Combat’, ‘The Assasin Baby’ stated, “I have this desire inside of me, like I wanna try to do some boxing in the future. My coach says I can do something nice, so I believe in him”.

But, as Moreno wasn’t pretty sure about his success in his new venture, he said, “If they knock me out in the first round in the first boxing match, I will say something like ‘Okay, I tried atleast”.

How soon do you want to see Moreno take this step and grace the boxing ring? Also, how do you think he will do there?
