Jorge Masvidal willing to meet Michel Pereira in the street, but not cage over callout: "How do you put your wife out there like that?"

Josh Evanoff - June 2, 2022

UFC welterweight Jorge Masvidal is willing to fight Michel Pereira. However, not in the cage. The Brazilian is fresh off a victory over Santiago Ponzinibbio last month at UFC Vegas 55. Following the bout, Pereira called out Jorge Masvidal for a showdown in the future. The source of the callout was the Brazilian alleging that ‘Gamebred’ messaged his wife on Instagram.

Marlon Vera slams UFC booking Sean O'Malley vs. Pedro Munhoz: "Everything is to benefit Sugar"

Josh Evanoff - June 2, 2022

UFC bantamweight contender Marlon Vera believes the UFC is giving Sean O’Malley favorable matchmaking. ‘Chito’ and ‘Sugar’ are now strangers to each other in the octagon. The two faced off at UFC 252, with Vera picking up the win via first-round TKO. The bout was stopped after O’Malley injured his leg near the end of the round.

Alexander Volkanovski's coach explains why Charles Oliveira is a harder matchup than Islam Makhachev

Cole Shelton - June 2, 2022

Alexander Volkanovski has hinted at a move to lightweight and his coach Eugene Bareman has broken down how he’d do against top lightweights. Volkanovski is set to defend his featherweight title at UFC 276 as he will face Max Holloway for the third time in an intriguing matchup. Should he win, he has said he would like to try and become a champ-champ. If he does get the chance, he will likely face the winner of Charles Oliveira vs. Islam Makhachev, if that fight actually happens. For Eugene Bareman, he thinks the Brazilian is the tougher matchup of the two.

Dustin Poirier believes Charles Oliveira could have done more to make weight at UFC 274: “They weren’t carrying him out. He wasn’t stumbling around”

Susan Cox - June 2, 2022

Dustin Poirier believes Charles Oliveira could have done more to make weight at UFC 274. Charles Oliveira (33-8 MMA) was forced to vacate his lightweight belt after he missed the 155 pound mark by 1/2 a pound at weigh-ins prior to his UFC 274 title fight against Justin Gaethje (23-4 MMA). The Arizona commission did give the Brazilian an extra hour to bring down his weight, but Oliveira was unsuccessful in doing so. While the fight went on and Oliveira defeated Gaethje in Round 1 on May 7th, the championship title was no longer his.

Chael Sonnen slams Tom Aspinall for his humble media approach: "Aspinall does interviews like a 13-year-old fan"

Jeffrey Walter - June 1, 2022

Former UFC title challenger Chael Sonnen believes Tom Aspinall has been making some big mistakes with his humble media approach. The product of Manchester, England, Aspinall (12-2 MMA), has gone a perfect 5-0 since joining the UFC ranks in July of 2020. The English heavyweight has scored stoppages in all five of those wins, with four victories coming in the very first round.

Robert Whittaker believes he'll earn a trilogy fight with Israel Adesanya with a win over Marvin Vettori

Cole Shelton - June 1, 2022

Robert Whittaker thinks he’s close to getting another crack at Israel Adesanya. Whittaker and Adesanya first met at UFC 243 when ‘The Reaper’ was the middleweight champ and ‘The Last Stylebender’ was the interim champ. It was Adesanya winning the fight by a convincing second-round KO. The pair would have their rematch at UFC 271 earlier this year and although Adesanya won again, it was by decision and a very close fight, so Whittaker believes if he defeated Marvin Vettori at UFC Paris in September he could earn him another title shot.

Josh Evanoff - June 1, 2022

UFC welterweight Jorge Masvidal would like to send off his former foe Nate Diaz in style. The Stockton slugger has been vocal about wanting to leave the UFC for months now. Despite being allegedly in talks to face Dustin Poirier or Khamzat Chimaev, neither fight has come to fruition. On Twitter, Diaz has voiced his displeasure with the promotion on several occasions.

Overeem last competed in February of last year, getting stopped by Alexander Volkov. Following the defeat, the 42-year-old was released from the UFC. Despite interest from Bellator, he decided to sign with Glory Kickboxing.

Jorge Masvidal says he will KO Conor McGregor if the Irishman accepts the fight: "It's not going to be good for the Conor brand"

Cole Shelton - June 1, 2022

Jorge Masvidal doesn’t think Conor McGregor will actually fight him. Recently, Masvidal and McGregor have been going back and forth about a potential fight. It would be a massive scrap and one of the biggest the UFC can do at this time. The fight also makes sense given both men are on losing streaks, but for ‘Gamebred’ he isn’t sure if the Irishman takes it. But, if it does happen, Masvidal vows to KO McGregor badly.

Joe Solecki expects to "drown" Alex da Silva with his "pressure" to return to the win column: "My job is on the line"

Cole Shelton - June 1, 2022

Joe Solecki says the pressure is on him to get back into the win column. Solecki suffered his first UFC loss back in October as he dropped a split decision to Jared Gordon. After the loss, he wanted to get the bad taste out of his mouth but he didn’t get a fight offer until he was offered Alex da Silva at UFC Vegas 56 this Saturday.
