UFC Women's Featherweight division
At the time of publishing this article, it has only been a few days since Julianna Pena's crazy upset victory over Amanda Nunes for her Bantamweight title at UFC 269, on 12/11/2021. Which got me thinking, sure Amanda and Pena are definitely going to run it back for an immediate rematch. They absolutely have to and Pena immediately offered a rematch, but as it stands we're waiting on Amanda's word for a rematch. Let's say it doesn't happen though for whatever weird reason. What about Amanda's Featherweight belt, what is she and the UFC going to do with that belt?

Fight Thoughts
It’s been nearly 48 hours since the culmination of the end of the year spectacle that was UFC 269. From the emergence of new contenders, to grizzled vets showing us they still had some left in the tank, as well as one of the greatest upsets in UFC history, 269 delivered that chaotic pageantry we have all come to know and love. There was a lot to digest. From the prelims to the main card, almost all the fights had a competitive allure about them. It was as if each individual knew the ramifications that came from performing on the last big event of the year. With that said, lets breakdown some of the key moments from this weekend’s event as well as what may come next for the fighters involved.

Is MMA going too mainstream?
Back in 1985 in Japan's Shooto organization was started and essentially started as a form of wrestling. As popularity in the sport grew a company named UFC started their own promotion back on November 12, 1993 which was UFC 1. This promotion started as individuals with different fighting styles being matched up against each other and battling it out until a knockout or submission. The Match ups were not always fair and did not always seem to be evenly matched. Match making and other structural house keeping items came later as the promotion gain traction and started to grow. I bring up the promotion growing and want to fast forward to present day. There are SEVERAL different MMA promotions available to fighters and the public in forms of entertainment. Now which one do I chose to follow?

AEW vs WWE
Admittedly, Friday’s show starts at 10 pm ET and doesn’t compete with SmackDown overnight, but that’s what fans are closest to having a dirt sheet in WWE’s main program when it comes to dealing directly with AEW. To summarize the timing of last week’s AEW events and program, AEW charged the match with a fight with CM Punk and Ruby Soho (AKA Ruby Riott) and a six-day fight with Chris Jericho and former UFC Heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos. , who did his first wrestling.

I got back into watching wrestling.
Professional wrestling is something that I never thought I'd get into watching again. You see I had these phases in my life that I really got into it. There was an innocent stage of my life in the 80's when the WWE was known as the WWF. Then there was a more mature stage of watching it. I thought I was done with it but here I am still watching it and liking it too!

Tyson Furey-Best Boxer of 2021
Wilder appeared to be the only one able to defeat Fury in their first meeting in 2018, but it looks like he was reborn during the 2020 rematch, which Fury won in their next third fight. For those who complained about the huge size of the current Heavyweights and their power compared to their predecessors at the World Championships, the Fury-Wilder 1 back affair made Fury powerless who proved his resilience by surviving Wilder’s previous defeat to reach the end of the war. By the way Fury looks, he'll be fighting back against Wilder in September but that's the way it is.
