Kevin Holland rules out Chimaev rematch despite wanting other rematches

Kevin Holland stated that while he generally wants to avenge his losses, he has no interest in a rematch with Khamzat Chimaev, emphatically rejecting any such proposal. Additionally, Brendan Allen, who had previously claimed he would dominate Chimaev, visited Chimaev's training camp for sparring sessions, with video evidence of the results. Carlos Ulberg announced he wants to face Magomed Ankalaev in his first title defense. Paulo Costa rose to #7 in the light heavyweight rankings and called out Josh Hockert for a BMF belt fight. Sean O'Malley is reportedly struggling emotionally with Jiri Prochazka's recent loss, and video has surfaced showing a college wrestling match between Bo Nickal and a much slimmer Josh Hockert.
