A very boring night of fights with a few slick moments. Also Tofiq Musayev stole the show anyway.

All interest had waned from the MMA vs boxing carnival and then Francis Ngannou came out and made a fool of the world heavyweight champion over ten rounds under Queensberry rules.

In an era of UFC oversaturation, where fewer and fewer fights feel great, the initial meeting between the featherweight and lightweight champs lived up to every expectation and proved to be a battle worthy of two of the finest fighters this sport has yet produced.

You know I had to do it to 'em

A masterclass in defusing the counterpuncher.

A whole load of clever boxing and counter fighting.

A love letter to the hillbilly shoulder roll

Lawler was always a fan favourite but no one had any reason to suspect that on his return to the UFC he would rattle off one of the great streaks in MMA history, going 8-1 over the next three years and winning the UFC welterweight title in the process.

Pantoja is equal parts brilliant and baffling. As ugly and awkward on the feet as he is smooth and lethal on the ground. We examine the crab rides, mutual ashis, and sloppy right swings of the UFC flyweight title challenger.

After winning both the ONE kickboxing and Muay Thai titles, and knocking out the number 4 ranked fighter in the world in under a minute, Regian Eersal has found his place in the fighting world.

We examine the overwhelmingly creative offence of the K-1 champ, and some slick moves that landed at Polaris 24.

Slow fight weeks happen but good fight footage will be around forever. That is why I am resurrecting a series from Fightland, in which I was able to share the fighters who excite me and whom I spend my days studying.

We look beyond the controversy to examine a great scrap in which two of boxing's slickest technicians gave each other more than a handful. 

What if good kickboxers started calf kicking other good kickboxers who know how to check a calf kick?

An offensive whirlwind in a division that has traditionally been held ransom by defensive craftsmen.

A Fight of the Year contender and perhaps the last great performance from one of MMA's most unusual strikers

No strike counting or rule reading here, just switch hitting and scrambles.
