Kevin Holland refuses Chimaev rematch while Ulberg wants Ankalaev title shot

Kevin Holland stated he wants to avenge his losses but firmly rejected any proposal to rematch Khamzat Chimaev. Brendan Allen, who previously claimed he would demolish Chimaev, traveled to Chimaev's training camp for sparring sessions with results shown on video. Carlos Ulberg declared he wants to fight Magomed Ankalaev for his first title defense. Paulo Costa moved up to number 7 in the light heavyweight rankings and called out Josh Haquit for a BMF title fight. Sean O'Malley is reportedly struggling emotionally with Jiri Prochazka's recent defeat, and video surfaced of a college wrestling match between Bo Nickal and Josh Haquit, showing Haquit was considerably leaner in his earlier days.
