@Superbeast_MMA shame on you

Anthony Smith isn't sure Ilia Topuria was prepared for Justin Gaethje to absorb his best shots and keep coming: "I do think that there was a level of underestimation for Ilia. I think he's just so used to finishing people that I think there is an element to being in that 2nd round and being a bit flustered and disheveled when he didn't get him out of there. He realized this guy is way tougher than I thought he was going to be."

Anthony Smith explains why he believes Ilia Topuria should return as soon as possible: "I'd like to see him back at the end of the year. You don't want to sit on that too long because it'll fuck with you. It'll mess with how you feel about yourself, especially when you're the level of superstar that he is. I mean, he had a celebratory dinner beforehand, and people were practically holding a funeral for Gaethje before the fight. You're going to have to eat that. You're going to have to eat that shit for a minute. The quicker you can get back, be healthy, and try to get that monkey off your back, the better."

UFC Statement On Conor McGregor

Breaking: Conor McGregor announces that @bareknucklefc has secured a TV deal with FOX.

Conor McGregor is open to fight both Justin Gaethje and Islam Makhachev for the belt He likes the Gaethje matchup 👀 “Gaethje, when he’s on he’s good, he’s okay. But when he’s off he’s atrocious. I fancy him handily. I fancy teeing off on Gaethje.” “Islam, there’s history there. I’m open for it.” (via @arielhelwani)

Francis Ngannou couldn't contain his happiness after winning money on Justin Gaethje. 😂 "I put my money on Gaethje. I saw the odds and I'm like, 'Something's wrong with these bookmakers.' Like, what's wrong? This is Justin Gaethje, man. Thanks to him, I had a wonderful day. I'm having a beautiful week." (via @TMZ_Sports )

Herb Dean explaining the area that is deemed “back of the head”

Conor McGregor reveals there were discussions for a two-fight deal with Terence Crawford worth $200 million involving Turki Alalshikh, but says Crawford ultimately declined: "I got on the phone, 'What's the craic, Terence? It's the Mac Daddy. I got [Turki] here. We've got a big deal for you. It's hundreds of millions, $200 million to be exact. Mixed martial arts against me and a boxing one against you. He said, 'I don't want to be kicked by you. No way.' Whatever, that's fine... I don't know how as a man, or as a combatant, you couldn't want to test yourself. And then he said that about [Topuria]... I didn't like it, and I came in as the daddy of the game and let it be known, and that's it."

Conor McGregor reacted to Ilia Topuria’s loss to Justin Gaethje: “I knew that was gonna happen to him. You need to get it put on you in the gym. He’s walking forward with the hands down on the opening bell, you’re gonna get walloped. He’s a bit flat footed, he’s not a full complete fighter. But he’s good. His face will have to heal, it’s smashed up. I’ve not been there before, I’ve only bled my blood once inside the octagon. He’s got banged up bad. It’s gonna be a dark place that he’s in right now. He’s gonna have to dig deep. Can he do it? I think he could.” (via @arielhelwani)

🚨 Breaking: Conor McGregor reveals that, contractually, he already has a date lined up for his next fight following his return bout against Max Holloway: "I am contracted and I have both dates. I have both dates for my fights. April 2027. It's locked in. It's almost a year later. That's ridiculous to me. This is the way the contract was done... I'm like, huh? Just give me the fucking contract, it gets to that stage. Bring it on, baby. The Mac is back and I'm going to put on a show here in this fight."

Conor McGregor confirms he has two fights remaining on his UFC contract and that the promotion has not attempted to extend his deal: "I'm happy to an extent. There's a lot more there. I hope it's with the UFC. I hope we come to something. I hope I get honored even more. I hope I'm going to prove even more so what I'm about. It wasn't that difficult. We met in the middle. We got a good, juicy one. Was it what I'm worth? Probably not. I'm a fair operator... I love the Ultimate Fighting Championship, and I'd love to continue."

Alex Pereira wasn’t happy with the way Jon Jones reacted to his loss 😬 “I’ve never spoken bad about Jon Jones. I don’t understand why he did that. In a moment so difficult, he decides to provoke someone who’s never provoked him. Look at the difference. When he was going through a difficult time, I sent him support.”

Arman Tsarukyan trolling Ilia Topuria in his DMs “Ilia, as soon as Face ID starts working, change [your bio] to 17-1.”
