Artem Vakhitov, the last person to defeat Alex Pereira in kickboxing and currently helping Ciryl Gane with training camp, claims Pereira will lose because he has gained too much muscle mass for the heavyweight division. Jiri Prochazka responded to accusations of being fake from Alex Ulberg by dismissing the claims from a "stripper," referencing Ulberg's past. Carlos Prates did a faceoff with his daughter and Jack Della Maddalena, clarifying to her who the bad guy is. Islam Makhachev confirmed he has begun training camp for his next fight. Khamzat Chimaev showed maturity when asked about Sean Strickland's trash talk, saying he's amused rather than angry because "when you go to the circus, do you get mad at the clown?" Chimaev noted that Strickland tells his friends privately that he's just promoting fights. Colby Covington complained that UFC shows no interest in promoting him or featuring him at important events like fights at the White House, and said he's ready to give his final competitive years to RAF if needed.
