In a total of 69 seconds of professional competition time, Bellator MMA bantamweight Mike Kimbel has made quite the statement.

Friday night could prove life-changing for New England bantamweight John Douma (3-1).

Toby Misech (11-6) has finally made it. He can officially call a major promotion his home. Signing a multi-fight deal with Bellator MMA earlier this year, the son of Hawaii has already checked an item off his bucket list.

The welterweight division has quietly become one of the most stacked weight classes in the UFC.

The UFC debuts on big ESPN Feb. 17 in Phoenix, and the Top Turtle MMA Podcast on FloCombat has all the goods around that card. 

Wombat Jones is on the scene in Melbourne, Australia, for UFC 234, where Anderson Silva faces Israel Adesanya in the night's main event. 

Max Griffin didn’t exactly have the best time in Fortaleza, Brazil. Despite nearly finishing Thiago Alves when the bell sounded in the first and spending large portions of the third round in top control, the judges saw the UFC Fight Night 144 bout in favor of Alves, who just so happens to be from Fortaleza. 

On this week’s Top Turtle MMA Podcast on FloCombat, “Gumby” and Dave discuss the fallout from UFC Fortaleza. From Jose Aldo’s refusal to go quietly into the night to the rapid ascension of Johnny Walker, we’ve got it all. 

This past November, Austin Arnett lived out a dream.

There aren’t many situations where UFC lightweight Devonte Smith would find himself starstruck. During this week’s UFC 234 fight preparations in Melbourne, Australia, however, Smith can almost guarantee he’ll be in awe.
