Bobby Green is not a fan of Islam Makhachev’s style. Green is set to face Makhachev in the main event of UFC Vegas 49 on Saturday night. Green stepped up on short notice to face Makhachev at a 160lbs catchweight fight. “King” just fought at UFC 271 on February 12 and although he thinks Makhachev is a tough test he admits this is a fight he doesn’t think will be entertaining. Instead, he says the Dagestani fighter is boring and isn’t entertaining.

Henry Cejudo seemingly has no interest in any sort of Israel Adesanya vs. Jon Jones superfight. ‘Triple C’ believes that ‘Jones’ would crush his long-time rival, and literally kill him if they fought. The two champions have gone back and forth over the past few years. ‘The Last Stylebender’ intended to eventually move up to challenge ‘Bones’ for a 205-pound grudge match. However, the proposed superfight has been postponed as a result of Jones’ impending move to the heavyweight division.

UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya has explained the role Jake Paul has played in the discussion regarding fighter pay. It was recently announced that Israel Adesanya has signed a new contract with the Ultimate Fighting Championship. The lucrative new deal is set to make him one of the highest-paid earners in the promotion, which should come as no surprise given his position as one of the pound-for-pound best fighters in the sport.

Former UFC title challenger Alexis Davis is one of two fighters that have reportedly been released by the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Over the course of the last twelve months we’ve seen plenty of UFC fighters come and go with the promotion’s roster being as big as it’s ever been. It’s always difficult to predict who exactly is going to get the chop, given that some fighters will still be on the bill after losing six or seven straight whereas others could be cut when they’re on a win streak.

Islam Makhachev has revealed part of his game plan for Saturday night’s main event against Bobby Green. He apparently intends to take his foe down and talk some trash to him. Green is coming into the bout on only ten days’ notice but has done a great job promoting it. The longtime fan-favorite has made his name by trash-talking in general, but especially in the cage. ‘King’ became a COVID-19 sensation for his audible trash-talk that was heard in the empty UFC Apex.

Dominick Cruz seemingly has an idea for a return to the cage, thanks in part to Petr Yan. ‘The Dominator’ would like to face former UFC featherweight champion, Jose Aldo. In December, following Cruz’s victory over Pedro Munhoz, ‘No Mercy’ suggested that the former champion face Jose Aldo. The Brazilian moved down to 135-pounds in 2019 after a stint at featherweight that saw him claim WEC and UFC gold. Aldo is now currently riding a three-fight winning streak after losing to Yan at UFC 251.

Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship is interested in signing Francis Ngannou should he become a free agent, according to BKFC president, David Feldman. It was well-documented that Ngannou was fighting out his contract when he fought Ciryl Gane at UFC 270, a fight he won by decision. Since then, he hasn’t signed a new deal and due to him still being the champ he either has to fight one more time or wait until the end of the year to become a free agent.
