Holland refuses Chimaev rematch, Ulberg wants Ankalaev title defense

Kevin Holland stated he wants to avenge most of his losses, but explicitly refuses a rematch with Khamzat Chimaev. Brendan Allen, who claimed he would dominate Chimaev, visited his training camp for sparring sessions with results shown on video. Carlos Ulberg declared he wants Magomed Ankalaev as his opponent for his first title defense. Paulo Costa moved up to seventh in the light heavyweight rankings and called out Josh Hokit for a BMF belt fight. Sean O'Malley is having difficulty dealing with Jiri Prochazka's recent loss, and video surfaced of a college wrestling match between Bo Nickal and Josh Hokit, showing a much leaner Hokit from his earlier days.
