🚨| Kyle Daukaus welcomed me into his gym for an interview a few weeks ago before his #UFCWhiteHouse fight against Bo Nickal! I asked Kyle how he feels about Trump likely rooting against him. Kyle said “it is what it is” and hopes a finish over Nickal will turn the president into a fan. Despite coming off a head kick KO win, Kyle isn’t impressed with Bo’s striking. Kyle has also been spending time at Marquez MMA sharing the room with Sean Brady, Joe Pyfer, & more. Lots of wrestling help was brought into Kyle’s camp including UFC’s Andre Petroski. Kyle says #UFC330 in Philly is certainly a possibility for his next fight and even his wife is urging him to take a fight on the card despite the quick turn around LOL. Kyle mentioned a few names, including Brendan Allen as a potential next opponent. I asked Brendan about this yesterday, safe to say he isn’t interested in the rematch at this time as he hopes to fight up in the rankings. We talked tons more including the possibility of rain & bugs, Kyle’s USA MMA Mt. Rushmore, USA fight kit criticism, and Colby Covington. 🎥🇺🇸 Interview below on @Home_of_Fight

🚨| Usman Nurmagomedov joined me ahead of his #PFLNY title defense against Archie Colgan! This is obviously the last fight on Usman Nurmagomedov’s PFL contract. I asked about his future, he said he only wants “more belts” but is also excited to be the hottest FA in MMA soon, saying he’s ready for some money & offers. Usman’s older brother, Umar Nurmagomedov was scheduled to have a fight a week before Usman in the UFC and Islam Makhachev is rumored to be fighting in August. With all of them fighting around the same time, Usman says they would head over to New Jersey early and train at Nick Catone’s MMA again. I asked Usman about this throwback picture of himself and Umar. He says he never imagined they would make it this far and is ready for more success. Surprisingly, Usman admits that Conor McGregor returning to UFC would be good for the sport. Although he doesn’t expect Conor to make the walk, he says a win over Max Holloway would be a big moment for MMA. We also talked Ben Askren’s combat sports return & comeback, Usman’s family life, and MUCH MORE! 🎥 Interview below on @Home_of_Fight

Ya know what, I’m just gonna say it. I’m a fan of Josh Hokit shenanigans #UFCWhiteHouse

This is the dude who filed the lawsuit. Fight fans, I wouldn’t be too worried about this 😂
