Mike Perry shares an update on his recovery from the gruesome injury he suffered in his last fight and how the experience has changed his mindset:

“I'm doing ok... I'm super humble now. The game has humbled me.

I just wanna be my healthiest, be my best. I don't wanna get so angry over anything anymore.

Just little by little, man, trying to grow, maintain, be great again, but in a different way, in a more grown-up way.

I'm grateful to be here in this position. I've had some great moments, and I'm hopefully gonna have some more for sure.”

Muhammad Mokaev calls out the UFC for “creating bullsh*t narratives” about fighters before releasing them 😳

“At what point does that cross the line? Isn’t that influencing the competition?

If you want to release a fighter, fine. But don’t then publicly say he was “hard to deal with” or create some bullshit narrative about him that could damage his reputation and make other organizations think twice about signing him.”

Merab Dvalishvili still had energy to burn after five rounds with Cory Sandhagen, so he hit the club 🕺 😭

Floyd Mayweather says the hardest puncher he ever faced was Victoriano Sosa.

PBD: "Who is the hardest hitting puncher?"

Floyd Mayweather: "Victoriano Sosa, a Dominican guy. This guy's not a top 50, he's not a famous fighter, but he can hit. It felt very different than everybody else."

"Marcos Maidana hit hard, but not like Sosa. Sosa hit. He hit like a baseball player, out the park."

Floyd Mayweather:

“Actually, I think me and Conor McGregor may lock up again. Yeah, absolutely. He didn’t break his hand, he broke his foot, right? Okay, well, we going from the shoulders. We going from the shoulders.”

Mike Perry reveals he's considering flying to this week's RAF event to confront Dillon Danis and 'squabble' with him:

"I don't wanna snitch on myself prior to anything that could happen.

If I saw Dillon Danis, we gotta fight in the street. We just gotta have a fight at this point, for free, anywhere, any parking lot. I'm snitching on myself already. If I see him, we gotta squabble, bro."

Alexander Volkanovski will be going to Dagestan soon to do an episode of Cooking With Volk with Islam Makhachev.

"We want to do a whole hunting on horseback, catch stuff, cook over a fire....you can just imagine how good that content will be."

Movsar Evloev *flips out* at #UFC333 open workouts then shows a sliver of striking ahead of his title shot vs. Volk.

Petr Yan says Merab won’t strike with him in the trilogy and will revert back to wrestling

“I’m assuming he’s gonna wrestle more. He’s gonna feint and then shoot for a takedown, he’s gonna be a wrestling machine again. I broke the machine before now I’ll pick it apart”

[FREAK.MMA @FREAKMMA1]

Petr Yan takes a brutal shot at Sean O'Malley for questioning his decision to fight Merab Dvalishvili after undergoing back surgery. 🥶

“With the surgeries I've been through, he'd have retired a long time ago and gotten a disability certificate. That's where we differ. That's the reality. That's the real story.”

🚨 Mauricio Ruffy hints at some "big news" coming soon 👀

"You guys have no idea what's coming out in the next few days. Just wait a little longer, because some big news is coming. No spoilers. I'm not saying anything."

[Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani]

Joe Pyfer believes he knows exactly what Bo Nickal is game planning for their fight:

“I know what they're banking on. I'm not gonna tell you what I see, but I know what he sees.

He thinks they're gonna play the game of trying to wait for me to gas out.

I think his illusion of game planning, to stall, to run, to clinch, to wait for me to get tired.

Let's not forget this is his first 5-round fight. I just don't think he's ready for 5 rounds, man.

It's one thing to prepare for it in a gym. It's another thing once you get in there, once you feel my presence, once you feel the intention, and people kind of freeze up.”

[Happy Punch @HappyPunch]

Joaquin Buckley was in disbelief watching Mike Malott knock him out cold 😭😭

“That’s gotta be Ai. He put me out like that? That motherf*cker slept my ass.”

[MMA Pros Pick @MMA_PROS_PICK_]

Sean O’Malley is rooting for Petr Yan to defeat Merab Dvalishvili so he can face him next! 👀

"Petr Yan is no joke. He is no goddamn joke, dude. He's one of the scariest guys in the UFC, 100%.

Our last fight was three rounds, almost four years ago to the day. We fought on October 22, 2022, in Abu Dhabi. Now, he's defending his belt, and if he wins, we're next. We are fucking next!

We're rooting for Petr. But I do like Merab. He's a good f*cking guy. I like the fella."
