The UFC 306 week has given us some interesting new developments from the MMA world. So, without wasting much time, let’s start this new edition of the daily roundup with former bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley. The 29-year-old shared a message after his loss to Merab Dvalishvili in the main event at the Sphere.

Thereafter, we’ll shift our focus to Conor McGregor, as it seems that we might have an actual return date for the Irishman in hand. Finally, we’ll sum the roundup edition up with Dana White, who received a warm response for his UFC 306 PPV from tech billionaire Elon Musk.

Sean O’Malley apologizes to fans

Well, we cannot take anything away from Merab Dvalishvili’s performance in his first-ever title fight. He did it in his first attempt, although he was the focal point of some crazy shenanigans during the main event. Needless to say, Dana White wasn’t impressed with Sean O’Malley’s performance, claiming that he looked “flat” during the fight. Well, judging by what ‘Suga’ had to say after his fight, it seems he wasn’t impressed with himself, either.

“Over promised under delivered. Sorry. Love you guys,” Sean O’Malley tweeted. Now, the main question is what next for the former champion. Is it a rematch for the title? Well, we don’t know that yet, but we do know that O’Malley will look to return stronger as he apologized to his fans and followers. Meanwhile, let’s move over and see the news about Conor McGregor’s return.

Michael Chandler seems to have confirmed Conor McGregor’s return, but not entirely

So, Michael Chandler‘s had it with the waiting game he’s been playing to get that ‘red panty night’ payday. While his fight against Conor McGregor has been uncertain, he’s accepted an offer from Dana White to take on former champion Charles Oliveira in a fight that he claims is for the number one contender’s spot. However, he’s not ruling out the fight against McGregor, claiming that he’ll be ready to take him on when the Irishman gets his “house in order.”

“I beat Charles and then if Conor can get his house in order, finally, then he and I can finish that, if not I’ll beat Islam,” said Michael Chandler during a recent media address. He also believes that if he can win the title and fight Conor McGregor thereafter, the fight is going to gain even more attention. “I’m going to be on myself, beat Charles Oliveira, and then the Conor fight becomes even bigger.” Do you think Chandler’s plans will come to fruition? Well, before you tell us what you have in mind, take a look at the final piece of news regarding the UFC 306 PPV in the Sphere.

Elon Musk shared a message for Dana White’s Sphere PPV

He’s not fighting Mark Zuckerberg, but Elon Musk surely tuned in to watch UFC 306. Needless to say, Dana White found massive success with his one-and-done project despite speculation that the event was struggling to sell out. Fans were just blown away by the spectacular visuals, both in the arena and at home. The Sphere’s official X account shared a promo package that the UFC aired during the PPV, coming under Musk’s radar, and guess what? He loved the UFC CEO’s presentation inside the Sphere.

“The Sphere is a work of art,” Elon Musk tweeted. It’s interesting that the Tesla CEO shared a message for Dana White because the UFC CEO also mentioned a few things about the lengths he went to make the fight between Musk and Mark Zuckerberg happen. It will be interesting to see if the billionaire continues to be impressed with White’s future UFC undertakings because he seemed to love the Sphere event a lot.
