Kevin Holland stated he is always interested in avenging his losses, but explicitly refuses a rematch with Khamzat Chimaev. Meanwhile, Brendan Allen, who had claimed he would dominate Chimaev in a fight, traveled to Chimaev's training camp for sparring sessions, with video footage showing the results. Carlos Ulberg announced he wants to face Magomed Ankalaev in his first title defense. Paulo Costa moved up to seventh in the light heavyweight rankings and called out Josh Hockit for a BMF title fight. Sean O'Malley is reportedly struggling with Jiri Prochazka's recent loss, and footage emerged of a college wrestling match between Bo Nickal and Josh Hockit, showing a much leaner version of Hockit.
