Visit chickenroadslot.lat for more information.
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Monday, Aug. 10, 2026.
- 29 fights! TUF champ with 16 years in UFC announces retirement fight for UFC 332: Court McGee has been nothing but class for his many years on the roster. I hope he’s able to retire on a high note …
- Mateusz Gamrot releases statement following UFC Vegas 120 submission loss – ‘The story continues’: Gamrot is in a difficult position after two finishes losses in his last three. Any suggestions on a rebound opponent?
- Bellator champ who fizzled in UFC now stinking up the joint in RIZIN, misses weight by over six pounds: Patchy Mix was genuinely top-notch at his peak, but it’s been all downhill since then.
Insomnia
We’ve had some bad blood in the boxing vs. MMA world lately, so it’s nice to see King Green and former WBO Welterweight champ Arnold Barboza Jr keeping a nice flow and having fun. Who knew the boxer would be better at boxing and the fighter better at fighting?
UFC fighter King Green just pulled up to boxer Arnold Barboza’s gym and got the work 😬

Can Tanner Boser find a win in his second UFC stint? I wonder if he’d be better off back at 205 pounds.

Life comes at ya quick!
Had a young guy come up to me at the gym and tell me “I watched you fight Mighty Mouse when I was 10 years old, can I get a picture?” Then he subbed me like 6 times in a row

Guram Kutateladze vs. Jeremy Kennedy is a pretty solid clash between ex-UFC fighter. Between MMA and Karate Combat, Kutateladze is 3-0 since getting cut …

This is a real hot take from Billy Quarantillo, who looked decidedly awful at UFC Vegas 120 this weekend.
Probably would’ve finished round 4..

Are y’all going to yell at me if I say Zuck’s technique isn’t looking terrible for a hobbyist? He’s gotta learn how to relax though.

Using one cowhide-armored arm to bait a crocodile’s bite is a fascinatingly bold hunting strategy.
