Kevin Holland stated he is always interested in avenging his losses, except when it comes to Khamzat Chimaev, emphatically refusing any proposed rematch. Brendan Allen, who had claimed he would destroy Chimaev in a fight, visited Chimaev's training camp for sparring sessions with results shown in accompanying video. Carlos Ulberg announced he wants to face Magomed Ankalaev in his first title defense. Paulo Costa, who moved up to seventh in the light heavyweight rankings, called out Josh Hockit for a BMF belt fight. Sean O'Malley was reported to be taking Jiri Prochazka's recent loss hard, and footage was shared of a college wrestling match between Bo Nickal and Josh Hockit, showing Hockit in noticeably leaner form than his current physique.
