  • Rebel Reveals Terminal ALS Diagnosis

    Rebel Reveals Terminal ALS Diagnosis

    1. Rebel is a pro-wrestling veteran who’s battled it all in the wrestling world. Now, she’s fighting through a new battle.

    Rebel, who’s most recently worked under the AEW banner, was alongside Britt Baker for the latter half of her run. But, Rebel was off-screen in recent years due to illness. While she struggled to find out what the issue was, she now knows. Sadly, Rebel revealed that she’s been diagnosed with terminal ALS that is affecting her body and speech.

    “Okay, here’s an update and hold on, because there’s a plot twist. First, I want to say thank you for all of your prayers because for those who know, it’s been a two year medical journey trying to find out what is wrong and finally, our prayers have been answered. The thing is, sometimes, we don’t want to hear that answer to our prayers. So, while I was waiting to have lung surgery for the masses on my lungs, the doctors finally found what’s going on. The doctors have diagnosed me with terminal ALS. There is not a lot of research behind ALS and we don’t know how long I have, but it explains why I have trouble walking and talking, all of my functions will soon decline. Now, we can pray for the future and what is to come. I want to say thank you to Tony Khan. Thank you to Tony Khan and AEW for supporting me on this medical journey. It has been a blessing that is unheard of. From the bottom of my heart, thank you and thank you to all of you for your prayers. Please continue to pray for a peaceful journey and a peaceful passing. I love you.”

    Rebel has been flooded with prayers and well wishes from the entire wrestling community. Bodyslam would also like to send out our heartfelt prayers and well wishes to Rebel. Stay strong.

    Arman Tsarukyan To Face Tony Ferguson At Real American Freestyle 10

    Arman Tsarukyan is on a roll with Real American Freestyle, and now, he’s booked two fights within two weeks of each other. Though he doesn’t have a UFC bout lined up, he’s keeping a busy schedule.

    Arman has been scheduled to wrestle influencer wrestler Mugzy at RAF 9. Now, it’s been announced that just two weeks later at RAF 10, he will take on former UFC veteran, Tony Ferguson.

    https://x.com/rafwrestlingusa/status/2050046050757742730?s=46

    Arman Tsarukyan is looking to wrestle six times in six months with RAF, making him super active in the promotion. As of now, he’s undefeated at 4-0 with Real American Freestyle and is looking to make it 6-0 by the end of June.

    Tony Ferguson, his newest opponent, will be making his RAF debut on June 13 against Arman. Tony hasn’t been active in MMA since August 2024 where he took a few consecutive losses.

    But, Tony began his journey as a boxer and picked up two back-to-back wins under the Misfits Boxing banner. Now, he has the chance to stop Arman’s streak and make a name for himself in a new company.

  • Charles Oliveira Signs New 8 Fight UFC Deal

    Charles Oliveira Signs New 8 Fight UFC Deal

    Charles ‘Do Bronxs’ Oliveira isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. The UFC veteran and current BMF champion has been on a roll recently.

    In his most recent bout on March 7, he scored a dominant decision victory over Max Holloway to capture the BMF gold. Before that, he finished Mateusz Gamrot via submission back in October of 2025.

    Though he’s had his ups and downs in the UFC, but he’s alway been a fan-favorite. And if you are a fan, good news, he’s not going anywhere. Charles’ manager Diego Lima revealed to Agfight that Oliveira has signed a new 8-fight deal with the company, saying;

    “It was a wonderful deal. There’s not a single bad thing to say, it was an incredible deal.”

    “We’ve got fights lined up until Charles is 40 years old. So for those people who were saying he was going to retire, just wait a bit longer.”

    Charles is currently 36, so, if his coach is hinting at retirement at 40 for the champion, we still have four more years of Oliveira. As of now, his next fight has not been announced.
