It has been no real news, that Sarah Kaufman has been struggling to get a new opponent as of late, even going as far as creating the ‘cupcake’ instavideo to ‘call out’ Miesha Tate, to no avail.
Fast forward to last when Kaufman sent out the following tweet and instagram message.
On May 16th, London. Wembley Arena will play host to the first UK Super Fight Series, Cosmic Collision.
With a card stacked from top to bottom and a who’s who from the world of Kickboxing and K1. This is the event of the year and not to be missed. Having five 4 man tournaments in different weight categories, with a cash prize for each of them in one night, this is one event you do not want to miss out.
Late last night [10.30pm] the draw was made for the four athletes in the 90kg Tournament division, to see whom would be facing each other of the £10,000 Winner Takes All Tournament.
Below is the outcome:
Micky Terrill Vs Joe McGovan

Stay tuned for the rest of the announcements.
The always fun, playful, UFC strawweight, athlete BEC RAWLINGS put this picture up on her Twitter last night.
**WARNING GRAPHIC**
Here’s hoping Bec’s injury is not too severe and we see her kicking ass pretty soon in the octagon.
It appears, that, the unfortunate injury bug has hit UK MMA, event BAMMA 18 again. With the news of featherweight athlete Dino Gambatesa sustaining an injury, he is now replaced with Mamadou Gueye [7-1].
Mike Grundy Vs Mamadou Gueye, BAMMA 18 takes place at:

It was announced that Benson Henderson would be facing Brandon Thatch in the Main Event at UFC Fight Night 60, replacing the injured Stephen Thompson in a welterweight match [170 lbs].
There was [including me] a double take. Why, well Benson Henderson is making a run at the lightweight division [155 lbs], and already has a fight booked on April 4th at UFC Fight Night 63 Fairfax; but kudos to ‘smooth’ Benson Henderson who has saved the Main Event on two weeks notice by going up a weight division for this fight.
In the words of Benson Henderson
Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere.
UFC Fight Night 60 Main Event, welterweight athlete Brandon ‘Rukus’ Thatch.
I make those butterflies fly in formation. They become an army. I become an army. I become unstoppable.

UFC Lightweight athlete Diego Sanchez was going about his normal training routine on Monday 26th January, when he shot in for a double leg take down and got hit with a hard knee breaking his collar-bone during the training session.
**WARNING GRAPHIC PICTURE**
The surgery was a success. Diego is praying for a fast recovery (usually around 16 weeks) so training can resume.
We would like to wish Diego a speedy and healthy recovery, as I for one can not wait to see him back in the octagon where he belongs.
According to his Twitter, UFC middleweight fighter Michael Bisping tweeted out the following :
After his [Diaz] defeat at the Weekend, it was stated he went Into the fight Injured with his left arm and was also considering what he would like to do next [due to the fact that, yes he is on a losing streak but his last fights have gone to decisions, which in his own words ‘ How do they score fights nowadays’. ]
Also, Nick will now have to answer to an NSAC hearing due to him failing his post fight medical after his five round fight with Anderson Silva [for which Anderson Silva failed a pre fight medical test before the fight].
Also this was the first time Nick had moved up to 185 lbs – Middleweight division as he is a 170 lbs welterweight fighter. Believing this to be a one time ‘fight’ at the 185 lbs – Middleweight division, but this is Nick Diaz we are talking about!
I, for one hope everything works out for Nick Diaz and he gets his break he actually deserves.
As for Michael Bisping wanting to ‘fight’ him – only time will tell.
