Ufc® Debuts in Moncton with Clash Between Light Heavyweight Knockout Artists (#2) Volkan Oezdemir and (#9) Anthony Smith UFC® DEBUTS IN MONCTON WITH CLASH BETWEEN LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT KNOCKOUT ARTISTS (#2) VOLKAN OEZDEMIR AND (#9) ANTHONY SMITH Moncton, Canada – UFC® will debut in Moncton, New Brunswick with a battle of light heavyweight contenders between No.2- ranked Volkan Oezdemir and No.9 Anthony Smith.

A former 205-pound title challenger, Oezdemir (15-2, fighting out of Coconut Creek, Fla., USA by way of Fribourg, Switzerland) tore through the UFC ranks following his arrival in early 2017.

He now aims to stop a surging contender and stake his claim among the division’s elite. Previously a middleweight mainstay, Smith (30-13, fighting out of Omaha, Neb., USA) has wasted no time since moving up to light heavyweight this June.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Monday, June 13, 2016 - - - PROGRAMMING ALERT - - - FS1 AND FOX DEPORTES SET BROADCASTERS FOR SATURDAY’S UFC FIGHT NIGHT: MACDONALD VS. THOMPSON Evans and Stann Serve as FS1 Analysts, While Werdum Joins on FOX Deportes LOS ANGELES – Former light heavyweight champion and current No. 8 contender Rashad Evans (@SugaRashadEvans) and former middleweight Brian Stann (@BrianStann) serve as analysts in the FS1 studio for UFC FIGHT NIGHT: MACDONALD VS. THOMPSON live on FS1 on Saturday, June 18 (10:30 PM ET). FS1 UFC FIGHT NIGHT: MACDONALD VS. THOMPSON features a pivotal welterweight contender fight between No. 1-ranked Rory MacDonald (18-3) and No. 2-ranked Stephen Thompson (12-1). A perennial contender in the 170-pound division, MacDonald has won eight of his last 10 outings. At UFC 189 in July, he came up short in 2015’s Fight of the Year against welterweight champion Robbie Lawler. Thompson is one of the most dynamic strikers in mixed martial arts and is currently riding a six-fight win streak, earning stunning knockout victories over Jake Ellenberger, Robert Whittaker and Chris Clements. In his last bout, he was the first fighter to ever finish former champion Johny Hendricks with strikes in the first round. FOX UFC analyst Tyron Woodley, who challenges Lawler for the title at UFC 201, has his eye on the main event featuring two fighters with opposing styles: “This is a classic matchup of a space invader in Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson, who blitzes in quickly and gets in and out, and a space gauger in Rory MacDonald.

The myth of the unbeatable fighter is just that, a myth. In what will go down as the single most memorable UFC fight in history, Ronda Rousey was not only defeated, but systematically destroyed by a fighter and a coaching staff that had spent years preparing for that night. On 2/28, Holly Holm and Ronda Rousey were the two co-headliners on a show at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The idea was that Holm, a former world boxing champion, would impressively knock out Raquel Pennington, a .500 level fighter who was known for exchanging blows and not taking her down. Rousey was there to face Cat Zingano, a fight that was supposed to be the hardest one of her career. Holm looked unimpressive, barely squeaking by in a split decision. Rousey beat Zingano with an armbar in 14 seconds.

Bullets whizzed into Powell’s Barber Shop on West 63rd Street as patrons scrambled to hide behind chairs. Sias, 38, a father of five with no gang ties, was struck in the arm and died later at a nearby hospital. Another cus- tomer was wounded in the leg. A federal racketeering indict- ment made public Friday alleged Sias’ May 2016 slaying was one of 10 killings carried out by a South Side street gang faction during a three-year reign of terror in the Englewood community that tar- geted rivals and innocent victims. The 25-page indictment — first reported by the Chicago Tribune — charges four reputed members of the Goonie Boss faction of the Gangster Disciples with racket- eering conspiracy and alleges six attempted murders, two assaults and other violence in addition to the killings — all in or near Englewood from 2014 to 2016.
