UFC Goes Eventless With WWE NOC 2023 This Week:UFC News: In the midst of a jam-packed week of wrestling, WWE Night of Champions is shaping up to be an exciting event. Follow UFC News Updates with Insidesport.IN
On Saturday in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, at the Jeddah Super Dome, the company’s fifth pay-per-view of the year is scheduled to take place. The majority of the notable titles, as the title suggests, will be contested by Superstars from the main roster, and WWE will name a new world heavyweight champion.
This weekend’s main event won’t be contested because Roman Reigns chose to discipline his relatives and take care of a nagging annoyance instead. However, this is a powerful card that can present some welcome surprises.
This Week- 5 Best Events To Watch For Fight Fans
Lara vs Wood 2 (Boxing): This weekend will mark the second meeting between Mauricio Lara and Leigh Wood since the Mexican won the WBA featherweight gold a few months ago.
On Saturday night in Manchester, Mauricio Lara and Leigh Wood immediately resumed hostilities in a rematch for the featherweight world title.
The British Boxing Board of Control decided that it would not be safe for Lara to weigh in on Friday under 128.5 pounds, which is still considerably over the 126-pound limit, as a result of a high weight check earlier in the week. As a result, the WBA title is solely on the line for Wood. The governing organisation has confirmed that the Mexican has lost his title as a result of him entering the contest nearly four pounds heavier than Wood.
Okolie vs Billam Smith (Boxing): WBO cruiserweight champion Lawrence Okolie fights Chris Billam-Smith at the Vitality Stadium in Bournemouth on Saturday, live on Sky Sports; Olympic star Karriss Artingstall is on the bill that also features an all-action clash between Joe Pigford and Sam Eggington.
In front of the ardent support of his hometown, Billam-Smith receives his chance in the world championship.
But it will face Okolie, a former sparring partner who is now a foe and one of the most difficult opponents in the division.
Alberto Lopez vs Michael Conlan (Boxing): When Michael Conlan takes on Luis Alberto Lopez this weekend, he’ll be looking to win the world title for the second time. Last year, the Irish superstar came within one round of unseating Leigh Wood, the then-WBA featherweight champion.
Conlan had just knocked Wood to the ground and appeared to be winning when, in the 12th round, he was sent through the ropes and off the ring platform.
Since then, the 31-year-old has recovered with a string of victories to raise his record to 18-1 (9 KO wins) and secure another title opportunity.
Glory 86 Petch vs Mousa (kickboxing): On Saturday, May 27, the kickboxing match GLORY 86 will be streamed live from Essen, Germany’s Grugahalle. The featherweight champion of Thailand, Petchpanomrung (168-39-3, 27 KOs), defends his championship against Germany’s Ahmad Chikh Mousa (58-8-1, 28 KOs), who is ranked No. 4 in the world.
Benjamin Adegbuyi (35-7, 20 KO) of Romania and Sofian Laidouni (35-2-1, 17 KO) of France square off in the heavyweight co-main event. A position in the World Grand Prix is anticipated for the contest’s victor.
AEW Double or Nothing PPV Jericho vs Cole (pro wrestling): On the Dynamite episode from March 29, 2023, Adam Cole made his eagerly anticipated comeback to AEW.
Chris Jericho became interested in Cole when he defeated Daniel Garcia. The two men became increasingly hostile towards one another and resolved to settle their disputes in an unofficial match at Double or Nothing.
