UFC 316 Pre-Fight Press Conference face-offs:

At the UFC 316 Pre-Fight Press Conference, Sean O’Malley says he’s undefeated in rematches and plans on keeping it that way. Kayla Harrison says it would be an honour and a privilege to be the face of Women’s MMA and she doesn’t take it lightly and considers it a huge responsibility. 

Kayla Harrison at the UFC 316 Pre-Fight Press Conference says that Julianna Pena has lost more fights than she [Harrison] has lost rounds and after this fight, she’s going after Amanda Nunes. 

Ian Machado Garry speaks on the state of Leon Edwards’ career.

“If I was Leon I would be retiring. He clearly doesn't have the love for it anymore. Clearly doesn't have the talent for it against the best young youth in the division. Just kick it in – say you were a world champion and go off into the streets of Birmingham and tell the people the story of what was, not what is.”

Kayla Harrison pays respects to Ronda Rousey as a pioneer and trailblazer.

“Ronda had an amazing career and I would not be here if it weren't for Ronda Rousey. I have nothing but gratitude for her and the glass ceilings that she shattered for women in this sport. In our judo careers I didn't tell any lies – my career in judo is going to be very hard to touch. And in MMA, that's the goal.”

After Kevin Holland said that he never thought the world of Belal Muhammad, that Muhammad was going to lose the belt regardless as UFC Lightweight champion Islam Makhachev had plans on moving up, and that it was cool to see Muhammad lose the belt, Belal Muhammad clapped back on X:

Alex Pereira says his comeback is looming.

“We’ll definitely be talking about my next fight soon. I don’t have a specific date yet but we already have an idea. I’m coming back firm and strong, to get my belt back.”

UFC Featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski speaks on rumours of his next fight.

“Yair’s name has popped up. The rumours you’re hearing are true but nothing is locked in.”
