Brendan Allen, who had previously claimed he would dominate Chimaev in a fight, traveled to Chimaev's training camp for sparring sessions, with footage showing the results. Carlos Ulberg announced his desire 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.
