I do like Dana, but I just think Dana's ego is getting a little bit out of control. I think he's totally switched off from the UFC. I don't even watch the UFC anymore. I couldn't tell you half the people who fight there. The events aren't juicy no more.

Gervonta "Tank" Davis remains one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, but ongoing legal troubles outside the ring have thrown his career into uncertainty. Will the three-division champion ever fight again? Ryan Garcia is a talented fighter, blessed with elite speed and devastating power in his left hand. However, the biggest win of his career against Devin Haney was wiped away after he tested positive for a banned substance.
If you want to make money, fight. One year ago, Tom was saying things like, 'I'm the active champion. I don't care about Jon Jones. I just care about the belt.' We all supported that because Tom was completely correct. And now one year later Tom is the one that appears to be holding out.
Followers of the sweet science scratched their heads. Mayweather is 49 and has earned more than $1 billion. Pacquiao is 47 and has earned more than $500 million. Why trade blows 11 years after their "Fight of the Century?"
Muhammad Mokaev has seemingly been invited back to the UFC, but not to compete in MMA. Mokaev (15-0) recently won the under-65 kilogram title at the English Senior Wrestling Championships in freestyle wrestling. Mokaev claims he has now been offered to fight jiu-jitsu ace Mikey Musumeci for a UFC BJJ title. "I have been offered to compete against Mikey Mussumeci for the UFC BJJ belt. What do you think guys?" Mokaev wrote on X.
I swear to God, I didn't know he was in the UFC. I saw him fighting in ONE Championship. His highlight was everywhere when he knocked out the guy with flying knee... Now I know him but I've never watched his fights.
"Everybody has an opinion on who should fight whom in the welterweight division," Garry said on Instagram. "Here's mine: Carlos Prates vs. Michael Morales. Because it's two power heavy hitters, and I want to see who comes out on top. I doubt Morales would take it, because the truth is, Carles Prates hits harder. I kind of want to see Prates vs. JDM too. But I'm gonna match Jack Della Maddalena vs. Kamaru Usman... And finally, the world title fight at welterweight. I want to see the champion Islam Makhachev defend his belt against the No. 1 contender in the world, Ian Machado Garry."
