🚨 Dricus du Plessis says his next opponent has agreed to the fight, but still hasn’t signed the contract 😬
Kamaru Usman has been heavily rumored as DDP’s next opponent
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.
Sean Strickland’s reaction after seeing how Tatiana Suarez parked her car:
“You guys, this is why we shouldn’t let women drive. It’s real f*cking bad.”

Currently, the #UFCFreedom250 Post-Fight Press Conference is scheduled for 12:15 AM ET.
The event itself is scheduled to start at 8 PM ET, which gives a rough estimate of 4 hours and 15 minutes for the 7-fight card.
For prelims, they often try to squeeze 6–8 fights into a 3-hour window. This past #UFCVegas118 had 7 prelim fights in a 3-hour window.
For main-card Fight Nights, it’s usually about 2 fights per hour.
For PPVs, it was usually 5 fights in 3 hours. Moving to Paramount+ the "numbered event" main cards have a been a little longer.
Dana White told THR: 'from the first fight of the night until the main event, we will tell the story of America.'
So expect some shorts between fights, perhaps similar to the Sphere event. Those shorts are what are likely boosting the estimated runtime of the card.
