Stephen Thompson reacts to Islam Makhachev’s welterweight move: ‘If I was in the top 5, I would be very upset’

As a fighter who has competed for UFC welterweight gold on two occasions, Stephen Thompson would understand current top-ranked divisional fighters being upset that Islam Makhachev is moving up.

Thompson, who competes in the co-main event of UFC Nashville this Saturday against Gabriel Bonfim, was asked about Makhachev vacating the lightweight title to pursue an opportunity to face new welterweight champion Jack Della Maddalena for a second divisional title later this year.

“Well, number one, if I was in the top-five, I would be very upset that this guy who just got the title is already looking at somebody from a different division,” Thompson told MMA Fighting. “If it was me who, if I’m in the top-five, more deserving than this guy coming up, like I’ve been waiting here.

Where’s the Shavkat Rakhmonov’s, where’s the Ian [Machado] Garry’s, [Kamaru] Usman, who’s been in the mix, is back in the mix, if you will, after beating [Joaquin] Buckley. Like these guys, I think, are more deserving of it because they’ve been there. If it was me, I would want JDM to like fight at least one more time, or two more times before looking at somebody from a different weight class.”

Makhachev defended his title four times before making the decision to win a second title. In his most recent appearance, MMA Fighting’s No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter defeated Renato Moicano on a day’s notice at UFC 311 via first-round submission. Moicano stepped in for Arman Tsarukyan who suffered an injury on the day before the January pay-per-view event.

In Thompson’s eyes, Makhachev presents some problems to Della Maddalena, but the same can be said the other way around.

“Now, I think it’s a good fight,” Thompson explained. “I think it’s a very tough fight for Islam Makhachev coming up. [Della Maddalena’s] a bigger guy, a guy with great takedown defense, and a guy who just won the title from somebody very similar to himself in Belal Muhammad. Cardio for days, strong grappling background.

“I do believe that Islam has a better striking than than Belal does, so I think that would be interesting, but I think it’s a very tough fight for Islam, for sure.”

Ex-Turner executive John Martin takes over as PFL CEO

The PFL has a new chief executive officer.

On Thursday, the PFL announced that John Martin would be taking over as CEO after Peter Murray previously served in that role with the fight promotion. There’s no word on why Murray is out, but Martin takes over after an extensive career working in broadcast television.

In 2017, Martin was named to the Variety 500 — a yearly list recognizing the top 500 most influential business leaders in the entertainment industry. It was three years earlier when Martin left his previous post as the chief financial and administrative officer at Time Warner to become the new CEO over Turner Entertainment.

That tasked him with overseeing properties such as TBS, TNT, CNN and Turner Sports.

Martin left the company in 2018 after communications giant AT&T bought Time Warner and merged the companies together before rebranding as WarnerMedia.

Now Martin takes over as CEO at PFL during a pivotal time for the promotion as the organization continues to carve out its own space in the combat sports market, which is largely ruled by the UFC.

After making splashy headlines for purchasing Bellator from Paramount, PFL made significant changes in 2025 by eliminating the season long format and instead opting for a regular tournament while changing the prize for the eventual winners from $1 million to $500,000. PFL also did away with Bellator brand entirely and several prominent fighters exited the promotion.

The PFL is currently nearing the end of its 2025 tournaments along with a special card headed to Cape Town, South Africa on July 19 featuring former Bellator champions Johnny Eblen and Corey Anderson in marquee fights along with PFL superstar Dakota Ditcheva making her first appearance of the year.

Michael Bisping prepares for bloody battle in first trailer for new ‘Red Sonja’ film

UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping had plenty of wars in the octagon but none of them involved mythical creatures or swords.

That all changes with Bisping’s latest acting role after scoring a starring part in the new Red Sonja remake that’s dropping in theaters on Aug. 15 and then on digital platforms on Aug. 19.

The movie stars Matilda Lutz in the lead role as the iconic “she-devil with a sword,” a character first created for Marvel Comics back in 1973 before eventually being adapted into a film of the same title starring Brigitte Nielsen in 1985.

The new Red Sonja film comes from director M.J. Bassett with Bisping scoring a prominent role in the film with his daughter Ellie Bisping also making an appearance in the movie.

Here’s the official synopsis for Red Sonja:

“Enslaved by an evil tyrant who wishes to destroy her people, barbarian huntress Red Sonja must unite a group of unlikely warriors to face off against Dragan The Magnificent and his deadly bride, Dark Annisia.”

Bisping pops up in the trailer a couple of times as a warrior named Hawk, who is backing up Red Sonja as she prepares to go into battle.

Check out the new trailer for Red Sonja and get ready for the film’s release in August.
