Nearly everyone is losing money, a club executive is quoted as saying, presumably while dressed in a suit made entirely from gold leaf, bitcoin shavings and vintage parmesan cheese.

"I ain't gonna lie to you, I'm in the best shape of my life right now," Lewis said on "The Beast and the Cowboy" pocast. "Mentally, physically, everything's going great right now. The UFC provided me with some great peptides, and I've been taking it every day, and I've been feeling the difference."

During its 26-year history, the World Anti-Doping Agency has faced thousands of questions about athletes using illicit substances. Thursday, however, surely marked the first time it was asked whether ski jumpers were injecting their penises with hyaluronic acid in order to fly further. The Wada president Witold Banka's reaction? Ski jumping is very popular in Poland [Banka's home country] so I promise you I'm going to look at it, he said, with a wry smile.

The drama all came down to a $100 permit that at the time the UFC was refusing to acquire. The D.C. commission and its head, Andrew Huff, stated that any fight card run without this permit would be considered unsanctioned and may not be eligible for records. Huff's overarching concern is that any other event would receive this same permit that would allow the commission to be involved in the regulatory process, including the use of commission medical staff.

I'm trying to change that narrative. I'm a big dude that never gave up on himself, you know, not a fat kid chasing a dream. I've reached this point and, initially, I didn't give a f*ck about any of the attention. I was just like, I'm gonna go out here, fight and try to make some money for my family and try to provide and be one of the best in the world.

I did one interview with CBS, and I didn't answer the question the way they thought I should answer the question, so I don't care about the UFC anymore?

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.

Smotherman, 28, appeared visibly unstable as he completed his weigh-in Friday morning at T-Mobile Arena. After stepping on the scale and registering at 135.5lb, the American fighter walked off the platform before losing consciousness and falling forward onto the stage floor. UFC staff and medical personnel quickly intervened, attending to Smotherman within seconds of the incident. He regained consciousness shortly afterward and was escorted away for further examination by physicians.
