- Spurned by Dana White, Ronda Rousey warns ‘Netflix isn’t playing around,’ vows to beat UFC ratings on Paramount+: It would be quite funny if MVP and Netflix swoop in and beat the UFC White House event ratings. Unless Conor is back, UFC feel like the underdog in this matchup …
- Video: Lippy streamer Deen The Great gets elbowed by former UFC fighter Tiki Ghosn: I’m not a Tiki fan by any means, but this video did bring a smile to my face. When keeping it real goes wrong, part one million!
