@ChampRDS Love Pereira but he got walked down by a legit heavyweight. Sure there were illegal shots, I don’t think that would have changed the outcome of the fight.
🚨 Alexander Volkanovski is pushing for a fight in September vs. Movsar Evloev.
“There’s no confirmation yet and we’ve been trying to get something locked in, but it’s probably looking like September.
“[Movsar Evloev] is the deserving No.1 contender in the division and that’s the type of champion I want to be. I want to reward that.”

Ilia Topuria says Justin Gaethje will get knocked out inside two minutes if he moves forward like Charles Oliveira did 😳
"If he's gonna do what he's been saying, try to move forward, that's all I need. Just try to move forward and I'm gonna have half the job already done... if he's gonna try to move forward I'm gonna knock him out in the first or second minute.
Charles did the same, he tried to move forward. His gameplan was the same as Justin is saying. What happened? How long did it take me to knock him out?
What Charles has and Justin doesn't is that he's very dangerous in the ground. With Justin I'm not gonna have that. Even if he's able to take me down, what's he gonna do? That's why I see this fight [being] short. I know for a fact that if he moves forward, I'm gonna knock him out in two minutes. I'm too good for him."

ILIA TOPURIA RESPONDS 😤
“You should’ve kept your father out of this.
He was the one calling me a short guy and saying you’d smash me, all while holding a beer in his hand.
Then you started talking about my divorce and telling the world you wouldn’t want to be my roommate.
Idiot.
First, we’re fighting, not dating.
Second, I’m not looking for a roommate.
When I put you to sleep and you’re lying there next to the rose, I’ll look at your father and ask him one simple question:
Who’s the short one now?
I’m gonna break you Justin.”
