Jamahal Hill has announced that he will be moving divisions to heavyweight! 💪🔥

“I’m going to heavyweight. That’s the announcement, breaking news,” Hill said.

“It’s been something that I’ve been working on now for the last few months, putting on the necessary weight and muscle.

“I think double-champ is better than two-time champ.”

Hill wants to fight Josh Hokit for his introduction to heavyweight.

Conor McGregor has revealed that he knew Ilia Topuria was going to lose to Justin Gaethje in their lightweight title fight at the White House 🥀🔮

The reason why?

Because McGregor believed Topuria wasn’t being challenged in his training camp for the fight.

𝐌𝐜𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐆𝐎𝐑: “I knew that was going to happen to Topuria. I've seen the training... You need to have someone put it on you in the gym. I’ve been there myself.”

“There was too much walking forward with the hands down from the opening bell (from Topuria); you’re going to get walloped.

“He's a bit flat-footed. He's not a fully complete fighter. He got banged up badly over the course of the fight, which caused him to quit.

“It's going to be a dark place for him right now. His face is smashed up. I wish him well."

The FBI have confirmed that they intercepted an explosive-drone terrorist attack targeting the UFC’s White House event on President Trump’s 80th birthday.

On June 10, the FBI were made aware of a potential terrorist attack on the historic sporting event and worked with law enforcement across multiple states to stop the planned attack.

The alleged plan from the terrorists included explosive-packed drones hitting buildings near the event, forcing a mass evacuation, which would steer crowds towards a pre-staged sniper assault.

The attackers were also allegedly planning to storm the gates of the White House after that initial attack.

A network of nearly two dozen potential plotters were identified, with at least five people in custody right now.

UFC President Dana White has 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐝 that the UFC will never do another event again the White House again! 🏛️❌

The reason why?

Simply because it is economically unsustainable for the organisation to host another event at the White House.

𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐓𝐄: “I can’t afford it.”

“There’s no f*cking way we can do this again.

“I’ll never do the Sphere again and I’ll never do the White House again.”

The UFC spent roughly $60 million to produce the historic event at the White House, while only making half of that money back through sponsorships.

This means Dana White and the UFC lost an estimated $30 million to give us the greatest sporting event of all time.

After his shock victory at the White House, Gaethje has put to bed any ideas of a rematch with Ilia Topuria.

𝐆𝐀𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐉𝐄: “I would say definitely not a rematch. I made him quit on the stool.”

“He was the world champion, but he’s in hospital right now, I’m not.

“I think it was 3-1… in any election that’s a domination.”

UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland has confirmed that he has been charged with disorderly conduct for causing a commotion with fans at the UFC’s White House event.

Strickland wasn’t invited to the event, but still showed up, and met all of his fans. After police noticed this, Strickland was escorted out of the area, and put into a police van.

Due to this, he has now been hit with a disorderly conduct charge. Something which Strickland said he “doesn’t know what it is but it sounds cool.”
