Several MMA news items were reported in a digest format. Johnny Walker gave Jiri Prochazka a surprise gift ahead of his daughter's birth. Jon Jones declared he has hung up his gloves and is now only businessman Jon Jones, no longer fighter Jon Jones. Paulo Costa reversed his previous stance, now saying he hates Russian fighters and that after dealing with "this fat guy" his third target will be Chimaev. Costa's team posted video showing him struggling to make 93 kg, notable since he previously fought at 84 kg. Josh Hawkit was caught breaking character after filming, immediately switching to a normal tone and apologizing for his antics. Merab Dvalishvili plans to fight twice more this year despite his broken nose.
