Kevin Holland refuses Chimaev rematch; Allen sparring footage surfaces

Kevin Holland emphatically stated he wants to avenge most of his losses but draws the line at facing Khamzat Chimaev again, using explicit language to reject that proposition. Meanwhile, Brendan Allen, who had claimed he would dominate Chimaev, traveled to Chimaev's training camp for sparring sessions with results shown in posted video. Carlos Ulberg declared 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 Hockert for a BMF belt fight. Sean O'Malley is reportedly struggling to cope with Jiri Prochazka's recent loss. Video has also emerged of a college wrestling match between Bo Nickal and Josh Hockert, showing a much leaner version of Hockert from his earlier days.
