Kevin Holland refuses Chimaev rematch; Allen spars with Khamzat

Kevin Holland stated he always wants to rematch his losses, but made an exception for Khamzat Chimaev, strongly declining that matchup. Brendan Allen, who had previously claimed he would dominate Chimaev in a fight, traveled to Khamzat's camp for sparring sessions with results shown on video. Carlos Ulberg announced he wants to face Magomed Ankalaev in his first title defense. Paulo Costa has moved up to number seven in the light heavyweight rankings and called out for a BMF title fight. Sean O'Malley is struggling to cope with Jiri Prochazka's recent loss. Footage was shared of a past college wrestling match between Bo Nickal and Josh Hokit, showing Hokit was considerably slimmer back then.
