Andrew Tate criticised for defensive skills by ex-UFC champion

Last year, Andrew Tate vs. Jake Paul was a topic that frequently made headlines and became the match that fans dreamed about. The two well-known internet celebrities also unveiled a video teasing the battle in which they faced up in a pose while facing each other. However, it doesn’t appear realistic that the match will take place right now. Also, Tate has refuted it live on stream, so it doesn’t seem likely to happen.

Meanwhile, UFC legend, Henry Cejudo, spoke out and offered his thoughts on how the fight may proceed if it ever happened.

In fact, the Irishman in the aforementioned piece is in top form, which is what he is known for. However, before he can formally make his comeback, which is anticipated to happen this year, he must have to clear a drug test.

On the “F*** It Friday” episode this week, the UFC Head Honcho tried the ravioli pizza and really liked it, which surprised many people since White is known for bashing food pairings in the show.

It’s interesting that Dana White had to deal with fan outrage for this show given the recent incident with him slapping his wife, which generated a lot of buzz on social media. Fans did not miss the chance to ridicule him for that act. And in reference to the slapping’s incidence, they reacted as follows:

Leon Edwards vs Kamaru Usman 3 looks likely for March

By defeating Kamaru Usman in his second match, Leon Edwards stunned the whole UFC community last year. Since that time, Usman has been seeking revenge, and he will probably have the chance to do so since Edwards revealed it while speaking with Michael Bisping in a recent interview. And he said that the fight between him and Usman is still on.

He stated, “Yeah, 100 percent (I’m fighting Usman at UFC 286). That’s what I’ve been told. Me and my team spoke to the UFC last week, and they said the fight is on. “It’s all the training for the fight, so I was like, ‘Perfect.’ I’m aiming toward that, and if something changes in the meantime, then we’ll go from there. But now I’m focused on that trilogy against Usman in London.”

Edwards believes that although the battle will be entirely different this time, the outcome will still be the same. In contrast to his previous encounter, which he won in the final seconds, he anticipates dominating the action from beginning to end.
