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.

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.

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.
