Max Holloway wanted the chance to run it back with Charles Oliveira. Holloway and Oliveira first fought back in 2015 when both were at featherweight in the main event of a Fight Night card in Saskatoon. However, the fight ended in the first round as Oliveira suffered a neck injury, and since then, both have become UFC champions, so a rematch made sense.

Brendan Schaub believes a UFC middleweight title fight between Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland is too good to pass on. Strickland recently turned in a stellar performance against Anthony Hernandez in the UFC Houston headliner. A perfectly timed knee to the body, followed by a barrage of punches led to a TKO finish for the former 185-pound champion. It was such a highly regarded showing that some are calling for Strickland to be the first challenger for Chimaev’s middleweight gold.

Conor McGregor’s coach isn’t a fan of Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira having to cut weight for a BMF title fight. Weight cutting has long been a hot topic in MMA.

Alexander Volkanovski has come to the defense of Tom Aspinall amid the UFC Heavyweight Champion’s eye problems. Aspinall hasn’t been seen in action since he was double poked in the eyes by Ciryl Gane at UFC 321 back in Oct. 2025. The titleholder recently underwent surgery in an attempt to correct vision problems stemming from the accidental foul that led to a no contest.

UFC welterweight Ian Machado Garry has provided an update on a possible clash between him and Islam Makhachev. For the longest time now, Ian Machado Garry has been working his way up through the welterweight division with the intention of eventually becoming world champion. Outside of a narrow loss to Shavkat Rakhmonov, in which he impressed a lot of people, he hasn’t really had too many setbacks since joining the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

UFC champion Khamzat Chimaev has called out Colby Covington, and he’s also provided an update on his next fight. It’s safe to say that Khamzat Chimaev is enjoying himself on social media these days. Whether it is at the expense of his fellow fighters or the fans, he likes winding people up, and you’d have to say that he’s getting quite good at it. Alas, what we really want is for him to get a fight booked, with Nassourdine Imavov seemingly being the leading contender – alongside Sean Strickland who recently defeated Anthony Hernandez.

UFC flyweight Lone’er Kavanagh has set a timeline for himself to become a world champion after his win over Brandon Moreno. Last Saturday night, Lone’er Kavanagh pulled off the biggest win of his mixed martial arts career to date. He was able to get the best of Brandon Moreno, a former two-time UFC flyweight champion, and he did so fairly comprehensively with a decision triumph in Moreno’s home country of Mexico.

Aljamain Sterling believes UFC wants him to fall down the featherweight ladder. Sterling has long had issues with the UFC brass. When he was the reigning bantamweight champion, White told reporters that “Funk Master” can’t get out of his own way. Sterling addressed the matter with UFC chief business officer Hunter Campbell during fight negotiations, but it doesn’t appear the tension has gone away.

Jon Jones is claiming he’s in negotiations with UFC about possibly competing on the White House card. Jones has been pounding the table for a spot at the historic event, but he has been met with some hesitancy. UFC CEO Dana White publicly said that it’s difficult for him to trust “Bones” in such a spot. Given that Jones is an American who is widely regarded as one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time, most agree that a UFC White House spot makes sense for “Bones.”

Alex Pereira appears to be chasing UFC history, and Daniel Cormier is all for it. UFC CEO Dana White turned some heads when he announced that the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship is being vacated. A new 205-pound titleholder will be crowned when former champion Jiri Prochazka meets Carlos Ulberg in the main event of UFC 327 on April 11 in Miami.
