Butler (3-12) won his first fight since 2019 in June and ended a twelve-fight losing streak. The 22-year-old Cuban sensation has quickly impressed in the ring and looks to go 4-0 in 2024. Krylov takes the upset win to continue his frankly improbable rise up the light heavyweight rankings. Even considering the men he lost to in his last few fights, he’s still one of the best in the world, so why not give him a shot in his new division. That would be forgetting, however, that Pettis is the former lightweight champion, and the UFC loves superfights. The early prelims are set to begin at 11pm GMT (3pm PT, 5pm CT, 6pm ET), with the regular prelims following at 1am GMT on Sunday 10 March (5pm PT, 7pm CT, 8pm ET on Saturday).

UFC 299 is set to be a stacked card this weekend, culminating in Sean O’Malley’s bantamweight title defence versus Marlon “Chito” Vera. Fight fans have been left stunned after a fighter kissed her opponent during their final face-off in front of spectators on stage. He eventually landed at the MMA Factory where trainer Fernand Lopez convinced him his best shot of glory — and riches — was not in the boxing ring but the Octagon.

Ngannou has won all six of his fights in the UFC by stoppage, but Miocic has a five-fight streak of his own — including a run of four first round finishes against Andrei Arlovski, Fabricio Werdum, Overeem and Junior dos Santos. Lainesia Toutai became the first Mildura boxer in decades to achieve a 10-fight streak when she won the title in Western Australia. In his last fight in December 2021, Davis beat Isaac Cruz via unanimous decision to retain the WBA (Regular) lightweight title. His next fight against Rolando Romero will be the last one under his deal with Mayweather. “Tank” would change weights again to face Leo Santa Cruz in October 2020, beating him for the WBA (Super) super-featherweight title. He then focused on the WBA (Regular) super-lightweight title, taking down Mario Barrios in June 2021.

Solano (24-19) is on a thirteen-fight losing streak, with eight straight losses via points decisions. A multi-time National Champion, Strand (11-1) has three wins via knockout. Residing in Liverpool, the 27-year-old looks to bounce back after failing to capture British and Commonwealth super bantamweight gold in his last outing. A four-time National Champion, Cain (12-1) is 2-0 in 2024, winning the British and Commonwealth bantamweight titles in July against Ashley Lane. That leaves us with Aldo and the winner of this Sunday’s main event, either Pettis or Holloway.

• We haven’t run a poll, but we’d be confident the reason the vast majority of people tuned in was to see if somehow, someway, Tyson could recapture just a sliver of that old magic and send Paul back to YouTube.
• Vannata nearly took out Tony Ferguson on short notice, with a full camp he’s going to beat the brakes off Makdessi.
• It will be a full circle moment for French-born, New Zealand-based welterweight Kevin Jousset this weekend, when he returns to the UFC stage in Paris.
• It’s a big cut down for him, and against Charles Oliviera he was easily down two rounds before he snatched up a guillotine.
• Cowboy is also a muay thai specialist, but he holds a significant speed advantage over Brown and his submission game is sorely underrated.

Davis was supposed to fight Romero on Dec. 5, but Romero was pulled from the fight after sexual assault allegations against him. No charges were filed after a few weeks, and the bout was back on. Davis has his own history of legal issues, including an arrest on charges of simple battery/domestic abuse against his former girlfriend. Coverage will be shown live, ad-free and exclusively on Stan Sport with the undercard getting underway at 9am AEDT. The championship fight between Rob Wilkinson and Omari Akhmedov is scheduled for 12pm.

While he did win back a heavyweight belt, he lost it to Evander Holyfield in 1996 in his second career defeat before his infamous “Bite Fight” in the rematch the following year. Tyson annihilated his opponents, fighting with rage and extraordinary power, leaving commentators wondering if he would ever be beaten. “Getting to fight on my home soil for the first time, I’m just going to make my name much bigger after a big win. And in terms of who I’ll be fighting next, top 15 or not, I don’t know. And at this stage, I don’t care.” Boucetta (8-16) is on a seven-fight losing streak and is 1-7 in 2024.

Davis vs. Romero fight card

Each championship fight, of which there are six in total, is worth $1.5 million apiece. With an 8cm height advantage and 23cm reach advantage, the Australian goes into the light heavyweight title decider as the favourite. Many have turned off boxing over the brutality of the sport in this day and age of CTE and science. There was a stunned reaction when it was announced Tyson was going to fight Jake Paul in a legitimate, sanctioned bout, at the age of 58. He had lost his speed, his power and his intimidation long before then and that was the end of a legendary, hugely controversial career. Uncharacteristically short for a heavyweight boxer at just 178cm, Tyson reduced opponents that towered over him to putty.

The winner of their scheduled three-round fight was already likely the number one contender, whether that fight be against Jose Aldo or McGregor. O’Malley won the belt in August with a knockout of Aljamain Sterling, and his first defence comes against the only man to have beaten him. In 2020, Ecuador’s Vera stopped “Sugar Sean” by injuring the American’s leg and sealing a TKO on the canvas. Within two years of his UFC debut he was fighting Overeem in a bout that would decide the next shot at Miocic’s crown. Following his bloodbath win against Brian Ortega at UFC 266, Volkanovski was perhaps even more impressive this time around, putting in a clinical performance to control the fight from start to finish. The pair have fought twice before, with Harrison winning on both occasions by unanimous decision.

We haven’t run a poll, but we’d be confident the reason the vast majority of people tuned in was to see if somehow, someway, Tyson could recapture just a sliver of that old magic and send Paul back to YouTube. For those of us that are old enough to remember his prime, Mike Tyson was the scariest boxer that’s ever lived. After his move to New Zealand in 2019, Jousset gradually worked his way up the ranks with a string of impressive outings on regional cards both in Australia and New Zealand. The event is just the third the UFC has held in France, who finally eased their hardline stance against MMA. In 2016, the French Government refused to recognise it as a sport, enforcing a ban that was lifted four years later.
