Multiple UFC storylines emerged from recent media. Johnny Walker surprised Jiri Prochazka with a gift ahead of his daughter's birth. Jon Jones declared himself retired as a fighter, saying he's now only a businessman. Paulo Costa changed his tune, stating he hates Russian fighters and promising to defeat his opponent before targeting Khamzat Chimaev. Video from Costa's team showed him struggling significantly to reach 93kg, a notable jump from his previous 84kg weight class. Josh Hockit was caught on camera immediately dropping his persona after filming ended, apologizing to those present. Merab Dvalishvili plans two more fights this year despite a broken nose.
