Photo by Cooper Neill/Zuffa LLC Dustin Poirier planned to retire win, lose, or draw after UFC 318 was over, but he was admittedly a little disappointed with how his final fight against Max Holloway ended. The five-round war was an instant classic with both fighters scoring knockdowns and a whopping 310 total strikes landed, but the result didn’t exactly seem like a back-and-forth battle

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey does not believe for one second that her upcoming acting roles will distract her from focusing on her fighting career. But Rousey admits she thinks the clock could be ticking on her time in the cage. “I said from the beginning that I wok in quadrennials,” Rousey told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “I do four-year cycles. I think I’ve got two years left in me, realistically, if I’m going to do this like an Olympic run.” Rousey (7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) has fought just once for the UFC, but she’s become a full-fledged superstar for the company.

WINNIPEG – Stepping in to face Stipe Miocic on just three-weeks’ notice proved to be too much of a challenge for Roy Nelson, who saw a three-fight win streak snapped in a unanimous-decision loss. The heavyweight bout co-headlined today’s UFC 161 event at MTS Centre in Winnipeg. It aired on pay-per-view after prelims on FX and Facebook. Nelson, who stepped in on short notice to face Miocic to add star power to a card that lost its original main event, was never really in the fight. Miocic steered clear of the big right hand in the early going while looking for a few quick takedown attempts. Meanwhile, Nelson shucked off the moves and looked to deliver his trademark power punches. It was Miocic’s speed that proved the difference in the first, as he largely avoided taking any punches from “Big Country” while slipping and delivering countershots in bunches. Nelson appeared to tire as the round wore on, taking a few looks up at the clock
