Ulberg wants Ankalaev for first title defense, Costa challenges Hewitt for BMF belt

Kevin Holland stated he wants to avenge most of his losses but explicitly refused a rematch with Khamzat Chimaev. Brendan Allen, who previously claimed he would dominate Chimaev, visited his training camp for sparring sessions with results shown on video. Carlos Ulberg announced he wants to face Magomed Ankalaev in his first title defense. Paulo Costa moved up to seventh in the light heavyweight rankings and called out Josh Hewitt for a BMF belt fight. Sean O'Malley is reportedly struggling with Jiri Prochazka's recent loss. A video surfaced of Bo Nickal wrestling Josh Hewitt in college, showing Hewitt in much leaner condition than his current heavyweight physique.
