Terence Crawford Shares Blue Print With Christian Mbilli That Could Trouble Canelo Alvarez
Former champion Terence Crawford, one of only three fighters to beat Canelo Alvarez, outlines a game plan for underdog Christian Mbilli ahead of their October 31 clash in Riyadh. Crawford says Mbilli’s best chance lies in a relentless, rough‑and‑tumble style that forces Canelo into a dog‑fight, limiting the Mexican star’s crisp timing and counter‑punching. He notes Canelo’s disciplined, body‑focused attacks and warns that Mbilli’s pressure must avoid leaving openings for Canelo’s precise counters. The analysis draws on Crawford’s own 2024 victory over Canelo and his post‑retirement broadcasting insights.

Dana White Faces Major Accusation as Undefeated Fighter Blames the UFC of Promoting Blood and Low-Level Fight
Undefeated bantamweight Farid "Ferocious" Basharat blasts the UFC, accusing Dana White of favoring blood‑sport knockouts over genuine competition. After going 7‑0 in the Octagon and 16‑0 as a pro, Basharat was cut despite a unanimous decision win over John Garza at UFC 329. He argues the promotion’s focus on quick, violent finishes erodes the sport’s credibility, even as the UFC secures a $7.7 billion, seven‑year deal with Paramount. White later hinted that roster spots depend on more than win streaks, citing possible fighter‑matchmaker issues. Basharat rebuts on Instagram, saying he always took tough fights and never turned down bouts.
