Holland refuses Chimaev rematch, Ulberg wants Ankalaev title defense

Kevin Holland stated he wants to avenge his losses but refuses a rematch with Khamzat Chimaev. Brendan Allen, who previously claimed he would dominate Chimaev, came to train at Chimaev's camp and the sparring results were captured on video. Carlos Ulberg declared he wants Magomed Ankalaev for his first title defense. Paulo Costa moved up to seventh in the light heavyweight rankings and called out Josh Hokit for a BMF title fight. Sean O'Malley is struggling to cope with Jiri Prochazka's recent loss, and footage surfaced of Bo Nickal wrestling Josh Hokit in college when Hokit was considerably leaner.
