Conor McGregor puts forth a demand to Dana White after being 0-5 at TUF 31

Conor McGregor and his team on ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ have been facing a string of losses, adding another defeat in the recent episode. After the fifth loss, a minor scuffle occurred. McGregor has now requested UFC president Dana White to make a change.

In the recent episode, Carlos Vera faced off against Brad Katona in a bantamweight bout. While previous fights had two rounds, this one was closer than expected, showcasing striking and grappling skills. However, Chandler’s team emerged victorious, leading McGregor to voice his discontent.

The Irishman said, “They are unfinished fights. If they go unfinished fights, give them the third round.” He further added, “There are guys fighting for their life here.” 

Tyson Fury calls out Joe Rogan for unnecessary comparison with Jon Jones

Tyson Fury criticizes Joe Rogan for starting a baseless comparison between him and Jon Jones. Rogan’s hypothetical scenario, in which he claimed Fury would have no chance against Jones, sparked intense speculation and offers for a potential Fury vs. Jones showdown. However, Fury declined the opportunity and now blames Rogan for initiating the speculation without any valid reason.

Fury pointedly stated, “It was actually Joe Rogan, little sh*tbag, who was saying… just out of the blue, there was no talk of me or Jon even fighting. Jon’s a great guy. Probably the GOAT in MMA. And he said, ‘Oh, if Tyson Fury goes in a room with Jon Jones, he’s going to get absolutely smashed to bits.'”

His frustration apparent, Fury continued, “Like, [if] someone goes in the room with me and it’s no holds barred, you’re going to have to kill me to stop me.”

Khamzat Chimaev offers a massive update on Kamaru Usman fight

Khamzat Chimaev has been sidelined since UFC 279. And finally, the undefeated fighter has provided an update on his next fight. The Swedish fighter, known as ‘The Wolf,’ revealed that behind-the-scenes work is underway to get him back into action soon. Chimaev, who competes in both the middleweight and welterweight divisions, faced setbacks due to missing weight in his last fight. However, he seems aligned with the UFC in booking his next bout.

Recently, ‘Borz’ expressed his interest in facing former welterweight champion Kamaru Usman. The 28-year-old said, “It will be Usman 90%. But he’s talking about 2 kilos. He doesn’t want to gain 4.5 lbs. Dana White talk about 181 pounds. We’ll see. There was no other match. Just him.”

The question remains whether the UFC should give Chimaev another welterweight fight or arrange a catchweight bout between the two fighters.
