Holland refuses Chimaev rematch; Ulberg calls out Ankalaev for title defense

Kevin Holland stated he typically wants to avenge his losses, but explicitly refused any rematch proposal with Khamzat Chimaev. Brendan Allen, who previously claimed he would dominate Chimaev, traveled to Chimaev's 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 Hockit for a BMF belt fight. Sean O'Malley is reportedly struggling emotionally with Jiri Prochazka's recent loss. A video surfaced showing a college wrestling match between Bo Nickal and Josh Hockit, with Hockit appearing notably leaner in the older footage.
