Stanionis (15-0, 9 KOs) endured a torrid two years after a fight with Vergil Ortiz Jr continuously fell through. He became the WBA Regular champion with a split decision victory against Russia’s Radzhab Butaev in April 2022. Former amateur adversary Gabriel Maestre took the call for Stanionis to finally defend his spoils, scoring a unanimous decision win on the…

Robert Whittaker will be one of the most invested parties in UFC 305’s main event this Saturday night. The UFC middleweight title once held by “The Reaper” will be on the line as the current champion Dricus du Plessis defends against former two-time title holder Israel Adesanya. Unfortunately for Whittaker, his title reign ended at the hands of Adesanya in October 2019 before he fell short to du Plessis in July 2023. Whittaker, 33, is likely on the cusp of a shot at redemption against either with his upcoming UFC 308 tilt against Khamzat Chimaev in October. A win would…
