55+ min ago (433+ words) Chris Eubank Jnr reveals health struggles after loss to Conor Benn and says he won't return until fully recovered, leaving fans uncertain about a comeback. Chris Eubank Jnr has further fuelled claims that he was not himself during his rematch loss to Conor Benn last month. The two bitter rivals collided for the second time on November 15, having previously fought in an entertaining affair back in April with Eubank Jnr walking out the winner. Unlike in their first contest, it was not a slugfest and Benn walked out a clear winner by unanimous decision, dropping Eubank Jnr twice in Round 12. Eubank Jnr looked a different fighter to the one who leapt over the ropes in their first outing triggering concerns that the war with Benn in April left Eubank Jnr shot-worn. Following the contest's conclusion, Eubank Jnr revealed in the…...

1+ hour, 41+ min ago (538+ words) Kayla Harrison recently weighed in on a potential clash with Ronda Rousey. She was brutally honest with what she believes would unfold and doesn't feel it would be competitive. There has been plenty of speculation surrounding Rousey's potential return to combat sports. The former UFC women's bantamweight champion admitted that she has been training again during some of her latest podcast appearances. Harrison, the current UFC women's bantamweight champion, is set to face Amanda Nunes at UFC 324. If she's victorious, there aren't too many high profile matchups available. With that being said, Rousey making a comeback to take on a woman she has history with could be a selling point. Despite the name value and attention a potential bout would get, Harrison wasn't convinced about it being competitive. However, she did say that it would be a great story. "That'd…...

1+ hour, 54+ min ago (467+ words) Gina Carano hasn't fought since 2009 but she can still throw hands in training Gina Carano technically never retired, but there's no telling if she's actually plotting a comeback after posting new training footage that showed her throwing hands with Merab Dvalishvili's head coach. Recognized as a pioneer in women's MMA, Carano was arguably one of combat sports' biggest stars at the peak of her career where she was primarily competing in Strikeforce. Following a loss to Cris Cyborg in 2009, Carano effectively put MMA behind her as she turned her attention towards an acting career. That doesn't mean she doesn't still love throwing hands occasionally after posting some training footage working at Syndicate MMA in Las Vegas with head coach John Wood, who also leads Dvalishvili into battle on Saturday in the UFC 323 main event. "Grateful to be here for my…...
