Prochazka dismisses Ulberg's criticism, Islam confirms training camp started

Jiri Prochazka responded to criticism from Carlos Ulberg by dismissing complaints from a "stripper," adding another chapter to their ongoing verbal exchange. Alex Pereira's former kickboxing rival Artem Vakhitov, who is helping Ciryl Gane prepare, claimed that Pereira has gained too much muscle mass and will lose because of it. Carlos Prates staged a playful face-off with his daughter and Madalena, with Prates having to clarify who the "bad guy" was. Islam Makhachev confirmed he has begun his training camp for his next bout. Khamzat Chimaev displayed unexpected awareness when discussing Sean Strickland's trash talk, comparing it to a circus clown and noting that Strickland's friends told him Strickland privately admitted he was just promoting the fight. Colby Covington complained that the UFC shows him no promotional interest and is considering spending his final competitive years with RAF.
