Holland refuses Chimaev rematch; Ulberg wants Ankalaev for first title defense

Kevin Holland stated he always wants to avenge his losses, but specifically rejected any proposal to rematch Khamzat Chimaev. Brendan Allen, who claimed he would destroy Chimaev, visited his training camp for sparring sessions with results shown on video. Carlos Ulberg declared he wants to face Magomed Ankalaev in his first title defense. Paulo Costa moved up to number seven in the light heavyweight rankings and called out Josh Hokit for a BMF belt fight. Sean O'Malley is reportedly having a difficult time dealing with Jiri Prochazka's loss. A college wrestling video surfaced showing a match between Bo Nickal and Josh Hokit, with Hokit appearing much leaner than currently.
