The family of legendary boxer George Foreman confirmed late Friday night that the former two-time heavyweight champion and Olympic gold medalist has passed away at 76.

Daniel Cormier will look to gain inspiration from boxing legend George Foreman in advance of his trilogy fight with Stipe Miocic . Cormier, who hinted at retirement before, has changed his tune and is determined to regain the UFC heavyweight title from Miocic. Foreman, the former boxing heavyweight champion, will be an addition to Cormier’s training camp. Cormier (22-2 MMA, 11-2 UFC) and Miocic (19-3 MMA, 13-3 UFC) first met at UFC 226, when then-light heavyweight champ Cormier knocked out Miocic in the first round to capture the title.

Michael Schiavello puts Nick Diaz on blast for interview no-show

BAD MMA News — Tue, 23 Jul 2013 16:45:00 +0000

Like so many others, Michael Schiavello has learned that dependability and availability aren’t among Nick Diaz ‘s strong suits. The veteran broadcaster took to Twitter on Monday night to scold the recent UFC title challenger for skipping a taping of his “The Voice Versus” interview series. As he wrote: “@nickdiaz209 has no showed The Voice Versus. Nick you have let your fans down again… And me a big fan in particular. Unprofessional mate.” Over the weekend Schiavello confirmed Diaz was scheduled as a guest, and he said was flying to the fighter’s hometown of Stockton, Calif., to tape the show, which airs on AXS TV. The show previously has drawn many notables from the MMA and entertainment industries, including Dana White, Alistair Overeem , Steven Austin, George Foreman and Steven Seagal. Diaz, though, apparently won’t be one of them
