Ilia Topuria says if something happened to Justin Gaethje and the UFC called Arman Tsarukyan to step in on a week’s notice — he wouldn’t do it.

“If they told him one week in advance that he had to fight me, he wouldn’t do it. He would just show up to make weight because they always put him in as a backup for my fights.” 🗣️

Topuria is not scared of Arman — he thinks Arman is scared of him. 😤🏆

Conor and his look alike 💀

Ilia Topuria is already thinking ahead — he believes Conor McGregor beats Max Holloway. 👀🔥

“I think Conor is going to beat Max. If he wins and has one more fight, we could end up having that fight — me vs Conor.” 🗣️💥

Topuria vs McGregor would be one of the biggest fights in UFC history. The champ is calling his shot. 🏆😤

Tom Aspinall breaks down Pereira vs Gane — and he’s picking Ciryl Gane to win by decision. 👀

His reasoning: Pereira’s KO power comes from fighting smaller guys. Gane is a true heavyweight who moves well and is used to eating big shots. Stylistically, it works in Gane’s favor. 🧠🔥

But there’s one big X-factor — Aspinall says Gane’s leg kick defense is a weakness, and Pereira is an elite leg kicker. 🦵😤

Dana White had dinner at the White House Rose Garden and the gnat situation was so bad he called his head of production on the plane ride home.

Fighters are out there battling moths, gnats, and whatever else gets attracted to those powerful outdoor lighting grids. That’s a whole different kind of fight night problem.

That’s exactly why Dana doesn’t like outdoor events — and now you know why.

Dana White took $3 million, called the Fertitta brothers, and built Power Slap into a billion views a month operation — the numbers are hard to argue with.

In just 2 years, Power Slap secured more sponsorship than the UFC did in its first 10 years. Dana invited every influencer over 5 million followers to create content at events and it paid off massively.

Dana called it the most successful thing he’s ever been a part of in such a short time. Love it or hate it, the man knows how to build a sport. 🏆

Masvidal pointing out what a lot of people are already thinking — Conor’s lifestyle outside the cage is a massive question mark heading into this fight. 👀

You’ve never seen Max Holloway drunk at a club or making headlines for the wrong reasons. The man stays locked in, and it shows in his performances. 🔥

Gamebred said it twice now — Holloway smokes him like a brisket. When a fighter of that caliber keeps repeating the same prediction, you have to take it seriously. 💀

Jon Jones attended the Netflix MVP event and came away seriously impressed — calling it absolutely unbelievable and saying it was actually better than the UFC. 👀

High praise from one of the greatest to ever do it. Fog machines, TVs everywhere — MVP clearly put on a show. 😤

When Jon Jones says your promotion outclassed the UFC, you’re doing something right. 🔥

Chael Sonnen’s translation of Masvidal’s free agent status is cold but hard to argue with. “Nobody will pay to watch him fight” is a business reality, not just a shot — and Sonnen knows the difference between hype and draw power. 😭

Masvidal was once must-see TV. The BMF title, the 5-second Askren knockout, the street fight energy — that version of Gamebred was box office. But back-to-back Usman losses and a defeat to Covington changed the narrative completely. 👀

Now he’s without a home and the MMA world is watching to see who believes in his name enough to write the check. Chael might be trolling, but he’s not wrong. 💀

Alex Pereira scored 191,769 on the PowerKube. Tom Aspinall — the heavyweight champion — scored 128,130. That’s a 60,000 point gap and Poatan isn’t even a heavyweight. 😳

This is why that right hand is the most feared weapon in the UFC right now. Doesn’t matter the weight class, the power travels with him. 💀

If these two ever share the octagon, that punch is going to be the story of the entire fight. 🔥
