Youssef Zalal: The Morrocan Cowboy

Donald Cerrone is someone of a folk hero with MMA fans. In his first year with the UFC, Cerrone stepped into the octagon an astounding five times, picking up four performance bonuses along the way. While he’s begun to slow down just a bit in his advanced age, there isn’t a lack of people who have adopted that same mentality. 

We’ve been spoiled with weekend after weekend of UFC events, but this week we get even more. The Contender Series returns and Top Turtle will bring the goods from both shows. 

In March of 2011, just four months before his 24th birthday, Jon Jones finished Shogun Rua and became the youngest champion in UFC history. 

Back stateside for the first time in a month, the UFC returns to the Apex, and of course Top Turtle has all you need.

As Fight To Win approaches its 150th event, it's safe to say that nearly every major player in the sport has taken to their stage at some point over the last four years, but at least one towering figure has remained absent . . . until now.  

After producing their first of what would be many empty stadium shows in Brazil back in March, the UFC pressed on, hellbent on putting a show together in London’s O2 Arena. 

Last stop in Fight Island (for now) and Top Turtle is taking you on a tour. 

On July 11th, Gilbert Burns sat down to watch the main event of a monumental card - the first ever Fight Island card headlined by a welterweight title fight that he was supposed to be in. 

All fighters have different takes on the type of training they’ve done, or had to do, during these troubling times. 

There are two fight cards this week to keep up with, but don’t worry Top Turtle has you covered.
