🚨 UFC Light Heavyweight champion Alex Pereira only sees upside in a bout with Jon Jones.

“We’re both big names. No matter what happens, nobody loses in this fight.”

🚨 Alex Pereira says he’s definitely going to go into boxing, not for the money, but he loves a challenge and wants to be the best.

🚨 UFC Lightweight champion Ilia Topuria on his perfect opponent for the UFC White House card.

“Islam Makhachev. I think it would be one of the biggest fights in UFC history.”

🚨 Dricus du Plessis on Khamzat Chimaev vs Alex Pereira in a potential bout.

“There’s no way he beats Pereira in my opinion. I think Pereira right now is one of the greatest to ever do this sport. He’s a big guy even right now at Light Heavyweight, he looked so big against Ankalaev.”

🚨 Umar Nurmagomedov wants a rematch with UFC Bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili more than the UFC title itself; says he wants revenge more. 

🚨 Daniel Cormier doesn’t agree with the way the UFC scores takedowns.

“The way they score takedowns is the problem. Should not be when you get back up and the guy picks you and and puts you back down. He never lost control. Merab [Dvalishvili] didn’t get 20 takedowns [against Cory Sandhagen]. Probably got 5 or 6 and got 14 mat returns.”
