“I don’t know if I’m fighting bad or if you guys want me to retire. I don’t know what’s happening. Every interview I give, people talk retirement. At no point have I ever thought or contemplated about that.”
🚨 Petr Yan wants to fight UFC Bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili in December 2025 – says their first fight, he was compromised and only 50%. Says this time will be something different.
🚨 Sean Strickland got married.
🚨 Daniel Cormier says he had to purchase tickets for the Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Conor McGregor bout at UFC 229 with Dana White eventually giving his money back.
“It was such a hot ticket that I, as the UFC Heavyweight & Light Heavyweight champion, had to buy the tickets. The fight breaks out & Khabib is completely losing his mind about getting his belt. Finally, Khabib calms down. Dana gives me money back for calming Khabib. He goes ‘I don’t know if I would’ve been able to get this situation under control without you.’”
🚨 Arman Tsarukyan says UFC Middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev is offering to help for his bout against Dan Hooker at UFC Qatar on November 22, 2025.
