Kevin Holland refuses Khamzat Chimaev rematch, Brendan Allen visits Chimaev camp

Kevin Holland has stated he is willing to avenge most of his defeats but absolutely refuses a rematch with Khamzat Chimaev, emphatically rejecting any such proposal. Meanwhile, Brendan Allen, who previously claimed he would dominate Chimaev, traveled to Chimaev's training camp for sparring sessions. Video footage from the sparring appears to show results that may contradict Allen's earlier confidence. Additionally, Carlos Ulberg announced he wants to face Magomed Ankalaev in his first title defense. Paulo Costa has risen to number seven in the light heavyweight rankings and called out Josh Howitt for a BMF title fight. Sean O'Malley is reportedly struggling emotionally with Jiri Prochazka's recent loss. Archival college wrestling footage has surfaced showing a match between Bo Nickal and Josh Howitt, with Howitt appearing considerably leaner at that time.
