Daniel Cormier says he didn't want to fight prime Kimbo Slice 😅

Dana White believes Justin Gaethje’s latest opportunity could have completely changed his career. 👀

“He stepped up, got in there, and won in spectacular fashion. It literally changed his entire life.”

Despite Gaethje not being the UFC’s original choice for the fight, he answered the call and delivered when it mattered most. With his hands still hurting from the bout, Dana says Gaethje now has some major decisions to make about what comes next.

After a performance like that, the future looks very interesting for “The Highlight.” 🔥

Sean Strickland is catching serious heat over his future in the middleweight division. 👀

MMA Joey called the UFC champion a “DISASTER” for the division, criticizing his inactivity, lack of social media presence and personality while accusing him of avoiding contenders.

He also took aim at Strickland’s sponsorship with a gambling company, claiming the fighter now wants to sit out the rest of the year and stall the MW division.

Strickland remains one of the biggest names at 185, but if he stays inactive, the question becomes whether the division can afford to wait for him. 🥊

🚨 Dana White has made his stance clear on fighters jumping out of the cage after a win.

The UFC CEO says fighters shouldn’t automatically be punished for celebrating, especially when they’re simply caught up in the emotion of the moment.

“What I think should happen is, if you jump out of the cage to do something violent or something, then you should be fined.”

Dana pointed to Khabib Nurmagomedov’s infamous cage jump as the perfect example of when punishment is warranted — but believes there’s a major difference between acting violently and simply being overly excited after a victory.

“If you’re overly excited and you jump out of the cage, I don’t think it’s a big deal.”

However, Dana says crossing the cage with bad intentions toward another fighter or someone in the crowd should absolutely result in a serious fine. 🥊

Renato Moicano calls Song Yadong’s knockout of Umar Nurmagomedov a moment of glory and redemption for MMA 🤯🔥

“An absurd knockout. And the question that remains is: Is the era of the ‘huggers’ going to fall one by one?”

Moicano believes Song’s victory was especially significant after Islam Makhachev’s recent fight with Ian Garry, where he survived a difficult battle despite getting the win.

This time, Moicano says the revenge came much faster. Song landed a beautiful hook in the second round, dropping Umar and leaving him unable to continue.

“Unfortunately, I wasn’t live, I couldn’t witness this moment of glory, this moment of redemption for MMA. This needs to start happening more often, my brother.”

A huge knockout for Song — and a statement victory in front of his home crowd. 🇨🇳🔥
