Kevin Holland refuses Khamzat Chimaev rematch; Ulberg wants Ankalaev

Kevin Holland stated he always wants to avenge his losses but adamantly refuses a rematch with Khamzat Chimaev, telling people to "go fuck yourselves" with that suggestion. Brendan Allen, who had claimed he would destroy Chimaev in a fight, traveled to Chimaev's training camp for sparring sessions with results shown on video. Carlos Ulberg declared he wants to face Magomed Ankalaev in his first title defense. Paulo Costa has risen to number seven in the light heavyweight rankings and has called out Joaquin Buckley for a BMF belt fight. Sean O'Malley is reportedly having difficulty dealing with Jiri Prochazka's recent loss. Video footage surfaced of a college wrestling match between Bo Nickal and Joaquin Buckley, showing Buckley was considerably slimmer at that time.
