🚨 Aljamain Sterling questions what criteria is used to determine who gets a title shot, after Diego Lopes being announced to rematch UFC Featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 325 on January 31, 2026.

“What’s the criteria? Merit used to mean something for the most part. The UFC used to be the org – the best fought the best. Now it’s ‘Are you the most popular guy?’”

🚨 Tyron Woodley says Kamaru Usman isn’t the greatest UFC Welterweight champion of all time but is the one that kissed the most a**, saying Usman had Dana White on his podcast, accepted every fight, went to Vegas every week to loiter in Dana White’s office and stay in Dana White’s good graces and accept whatever offer.

“He’s the biggest brown noser in the Welterweight division.”

🚨 Dana White says that people saying UFC Heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall quit against Ciryl Gane, it’s easy to sit on the couch and say that. White says they’ll figure something out about eye pokes but it’ll never go away.

🚨 Tom Aspinall has posted multiple slides of medical records re: the eye poke injury suffered against Ciryl Gane which says he suffered “significant bilateral ocular trauma regarding ongoing consultant-led management.” and that his injuries are consistent with Brown’s syndrome, which affects the muscle/tendon that controls movement of the eyes. The paperwork also says Aspinall isn’t cleared for combat activity yet.

🚨 Paddy Pimblett says his 2026 plan is to win the Interim UFC Lightweight title at UFC 324 against Justin Gaethje on January 24, 2026, unify it by defeating UFC Lightweight champion Ilia Topuria and then defend it against Arman Tsarukyan.

🚨 Arman Tsarukyan is open to a BMF title fight with Max Holloway; says there’s no one else left really in the division.

🚨 Arman Tsarukyan says he thinks it’s the UFCs plan to build up Paddy Pimblett as an even bigger star to bring him into the fight Ilia Topuria; says the UFC knows he [Tsarukyan] could beat everybody. Tsarukyan doesn’t think it’s family issues re: Ilia Topuria.

🚨 Tom Aspinall says he didn’t continue after the eye poke from Ciryl Gane because he’s not “a f**king dummy” and fight one of the best strikers in the world when he can’t see.

🚨 There’s rumours of a boxing match between Ronda Rousey and Katie Taylor in Las Vegas in 2026 but nothing is confirmed.

🚨 The eye doctor specialist tells Tom Aspinall that it’s a long road ahead and recommends Aspinall to not fight until his double division is resolved as it could potentially make things worse and if Aspinall trains currently, having the double vision wouldn’t allow him to be at his peak.

🚨 Women’s UFC Bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison isn’t taking it personally that she’s not the main event of UFC 324, headlined by Justin Gaethje vs Paddy Pimblett for the Interim UFC Lightweight title. Harrison says it’s not about her or Amanda Nunes but rather it’s about the belt & she doesn’t care about bout order and that she’d fight on the prelims because it’s more conducive to the time she goes to bed.

🚨 Kayla Harrison says a bout with Ronda Rousey would be free money.

🚨 Michael Chandler says a bout with Conor McGregor at The White House in 2026 is already happening and McGregor has brought in guys to mimic his style.

🚨 Tom Aspinall says he’s disappointed in Dana White because White has yet to speak to him and was giving updates on his health when he had no idea what was going on.
