Islam Makhachev has confirmed that he has begun preparation for his upcoming bout, though no opponent or date was specified in the announcement. The lightweight champion's return to training camp signals that a fight announcement may be forthcoming. Meanwhile, Artem Vakhitov, the last man to defeat Alex Pereira in kickboxing and currently helping Ciryl Gane prepare, stated in a recent interview that Pereira will lose because he has gained too much mass. Jiri Prochazka also responded to accusations from Alex Ulberg, dismissing complaints of being fake from someone he called a stripper. The post also mentioned that Carlos Prates and his daughter did a face-off with Jack Della Maddalena, with Prates clarifying to his daughter who the bad guy was.
