47 years ago, on February 10, 1978, Matthew Saad Muhammad (then known as Matthew Franklin) defeated Richie Kates via TKO in the 6th round, retaining his NABF light heavyweight noscript. Both fighters endured heavy knockdowns during the bout.

Jaime Munguía, after his shocking loss to Bruno Surace, has switched teams and is now training alongside Canelo under coach Eddy Reynoso.

Does this mean Munguía isn’t planning to fight for a super middleweight noscript anytime soon? Or is this just a necessary reset before making another big run?

Dominick Cruz Retires Due to Injury

Former UFC Bantamweight Champion Dominick Cruz has officially retired after suffering a career-ending injury that forced him to withdraw from his fight against Rob Font.

“About eight weeks before the incident I talked about, I had a dislocation. It kind of set the stage for… the final blow that changed everything,” Cruz revealed.

During one of his last training sessions, Cruz suffered a severe knee ligament tear, making a return to the octagon impossible.

“I’ve battled through countless injuries, surgeries, and rehabs. But this time, my body made it clear—it’s time to stop.”

For Cruz, known for his elusive movement and high fight IQ, this marks the end of an era. His impact on UFC’s bantamweight division goes far beyond noscripts—he leaves behind a legacy as one of the most technical and intelligent fighters in the sport.

Cruz’s Final UFC Record
• 24 wins, 4 losses
• Two-time UFC Champion
• Future Hall of Famer? Likely soon.

Alex Pereira: “I Feel Fear Before Every Fight”

UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Alex Pereira admits he experiences fear every time he steps into the octagon, no matter the opponent.

“They all scare me,” Pereira told journalist Mark Bury. “Every fighter is dangerous. Ignoring that is a mistake.”

Despite this, Pereira has dominated multiple weight classes, using fear as motivation. “Fear isn’t weakness—it’s a tool,” he said. “It keeps me sharp, makes me train harder, and reminds me never to get complacent.”

As he prepares for his next challenge, Pereira continues to embrace fear, proving that even champions feel it—but the best know how to use it.

7 years ago, on February 17, 2018, Danny Garcia won a WBC welterweight noscript eliminator by defeating Brandon Rios via TKO in the 9th round.
