Nick Diaz is apparently not a fan of CrossFit. From the sounds of it, he doesn’t like Georges St-Pierre‘s ‘water workouts’ either. The former Strikeforce welterweight champion went off on these two forms of exercise in a virulent tirade posted to his Instagram story. Unsurprisingly, this rant was quickly saved and immortalized by several members of the MMA community.

On December 8, in the main event of UFC 231 in Toronto, UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway defended his title with a dominant defeat of formerly undefeated challenger Brian Ortega. As if Holloway’s victory over Ortega wasn’t already impressive enough, a fan on Twitter has pointed out that the featherweight champ seemed to be giving his foe advice in the middle of the fight. Mid-way through the fourth round, Holloway can be seen hoisting Ortega’s arm upward, seemingly reminding him to keep his hands up.

On December 29, in the co-main event of UFC 232, dominant UFC women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg is expected to defend her title against women’s bantamweight champ Amanda Nunes — that is, if a recent fall hasn’t derailed that plan. Cyborg recently attempted the In My Feelings challenge, a dance challenge inspired by the Drake song of the same name. Cyborg incorporated a shopping cart into her attempt at the dance challenge, and ultimately took a brutal fall as she exited the shopping cart.

On December 29, in the main event of the stacked UFC 232 card in Las Vegas, former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones will step back into the cage with the fiercest opponent of his career: Sweden’s Alexander Gustafsson. Jon Jones and Alexander Gustafsson first met in the main event of UFC 165, in 2013 in Toronto. On that night, Jones walked away with a unanimous decision win, though many fans felt Gustafsson should have been awarded the decision. Whatever the case, the bout is widely regarded as one of the best in UFC history.

HBO Boxing is no more. Last Saturday night, the storied boxing franchise aired its final card. The event, which went down in front of a small, quiet crowd in the StubHub Center in Los Angeles, featured victories from Cecilia Braekhus, Claressa Shields, and Juan Francisco Estrada, and several others. Yet perhaps the most memorable moment of the nights was veteran commentator Jim Lampley’s eulogy for HBO Boxing.

Mark Hunt has fought his last fight in the Octagon. Last weekend, on the main card of UFC Adelaide, “The Super Samoan” gave up a decision to rising prospect in Justin Willis, and provided he sticks to his earlier comments, he’ll fight out the remainder of his career outside the UFC’s Octagon.

In the sport of MMA, there’s no victory celebration more tried and true than a fighter scaling the cage and throwing their arms up in triumph. We’ve seen countless fighters do so after big stoppage victories. Santiago Ponzinibbio did so just last weekend after knocking out Neil Magny in the UFC Argentina main event. Apparently, however, nailing this post-fight celebration is not as easy as it looks.

Some fight fans choose to support their favorite fighters by buying their pay-per-views or their walk-out shirts. Others choose to show their support by getting their favorite fighters permanently tattooed onto their skin. That’s just what one Conor McGregor fan has done, and it’s actually some pretty impressive artwork. See this impressive Conor McGregor tattoo, which was done by artist Steve Butcher back in June, in the Instagram video below.
