'Did he fight Wolverine?': BKFC's Ramiro Figueroa suffers nasty cuts in loss
Over the course of five intense rounds of lightweight action at BKFC Fight Night: Omaha this past Friday at Astro Theatre, Figueroa had his face sliced and diced everywhere from the forehead to the lips.
The blood that continued to pour covered some of the damage up as things went along, but once the bout reached its conclusion and he was fully cleaned up, his face went viral.

Many fans online reacted by asking if Figueroa had "just fought Wolverine," but it was indeed the handiwork of Brown, who earned 48-47 scorecards from all three judges to claim the unanimous decision.

UFC books Uros Medic vs. 'TUF 29' runner-up Gilbert Urbina
A late addition joins UFC on ESPN 71 in Las Vegas. Welterweights Uros Medic and Gilbert Urbina will collide at the Aug. 9 event in a three-round bout at the UFC Apex. Two people with knowledge of the matchup informed MMA Junkie of the booking Friday but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. A fan-favorite striker, Medic (10-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) aims to bounce back from a January knockout loss to Puna Soriano. The defeat dropped him to 3-2 in his most recent five fights. When Urbina (7-3 MMA, 1-2 UFC) steps into the cage, it'll be his first competition since February 2024. "The Ultimate Fighter 29" middleweight runner-up lost the season final in his debut vs. Bryan Battle in 2021. His next fight came in 2023 when he defeated Orion Cosce by body kick. His most recent outing was a first-round knockout loss to Charles Radtke. With the addition, the UFC on ESPN 71 lineup includes:

Gilbert Burns: 'Unbelievably strong' Dricus Du Plessis beats Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 319
ABU DHABI – Gilbert Burns has experience hitting the mats with both Dricus Du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev. Middleweight champion Du Plessis (23-2 MMA, 9-0 UFC) defends his title against Chimaev (14-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) in the UFC 319 headliner on Aug. 16 from United Center in Chicago (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+). Burns gave Chimaev arguably his toughest test to date when he pushed him to the brink in an all-out war at UFC 273. The former title challenger has also trained with Du Plessis before, so was able to give insight on their championship fight. "It's a very tough fight," Burns told MMA Junkie. "Dricus is a monster. I trained a lot with Dricus when he was at Hard Knocks, unbelievably strong for that division, very big too, crazy gas tank. He looks tired, you look at him, 'Oh, he's getting tired,' but he's not. Hits very hard, does both stances, grappling defense is get a lot better. I think right now he's going to focus on that to not get submitted. "And guess what? If Chimaev doesn't finish him in the first, or give him one more round, the second round, I don't think he can. I think it's going to be a long night, and Dricus can keep coming, keep coming. He gets stronger as the rounds are going. The guy doesn't quit, he doesn't break so, I got to go with Dricus on that one." Although Chimaev has opted for a different look this camp by working with Sam Calavitta for his strength and conditioning, Burns doesn't see it making a difference. "He just got in the U.S. three, four weeks ago, I don't think it's going to be enough," Burns said. "Maybe even pushing too hard right now, it might be breaking him. When I saw that I said maybe, but when I saw the timing, I don't think so. I think Dricus is winning that one."
