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

Kevin Holland stated he always wants to avenge his losses, but explicitly refuses a rematch with Khamzat Chimaev, using strong language to reject the suggestion. Brendan Allen, who previously claimed he would dominate Chimaev, traveled to Chimaev's training camp for sparring sessions with results shown on video. Carlos Ulberg announced he wants Magomed Ankalaev as his first title defense opponent. Paulo Costa moved up to number seven in the light heavyweight rankings and called out Josh Hockit for a BMF belt fight. Sean O'Malley is reportedly having difficulty dealing with Jiri Prochazka's recent loss. Footage has emerged showing a college wrestling match between Bo Nickal and Josh Hockit, revealing Hockit was considerably slimmer during his wrestling days.
