Kevin Holland refuses Chimaev rematch; Ulberg wants Ankalaev for first defense

Kevin Holland has categorically rejected the possibility of a rematch with Khamzat Chimaev, emphatically stating he has no interest in facing the Chechen fighter again. Meanwhile, Brendan Allen, who had previously claimed he would dominate Chimaev, visited his training camp for sparring sessions, with video results now available. Newly crowned light heavyweight champion Carlos Ulberg has announced he wants to face Magomed Ankalaev in his first title defense. Paulo Costa has moved up to seventh in the light heavyweight rankings and called out Josh Hockett for a BMF belt fight. Additionally, Sean O'Malley is reportedly struggling to cope with Jiri Prochazka's recent loss, and footage has emerged of a college wrestling match between Bo Nickal and Josh Hockett, showing a noticeably slimmer version of Hockett.
