Jon Jones declared he has hung up his gloves and is now only businessman Jon Jones, not fighter Jon Jones. Paulo Costa's team posted video showing him struggling to make 93 kilograms, a significant jump from his previous 84 kg weight class. Costa also expressed hatred for Russian fighters, saying Murzakanov will be his second straight Russian opponent, with Chimaev potentially third. Josh Howitt reportedly dropped his persona immediately after filming ended, apologizing to people present. Merab Dvalishvili plans to fight two more times this year despite a broken nose.
