Artem Vakhitov, the last person to defeat Alex Pereira in kickboxing and currently helping Ciryl Gane prepare, predicted that Pereira will lose because he has gained too much muscle mass. Jiri Prohazka responded to accusations of being fake from Ulgberg by calling him a stripper. Carlos Prates did a face-off with his daughter against Maddalena, having to explain to her who the bad guy was. Islam Makhachev confirmed he has started camp for his next fight. Khamzat Chimaev showed maturity when discussing Sean Strickland's trash talk, comparing it to being entertained by a clown at the circus rather than getting angry, and noting that when his friends approached Strickland, he immediately backed down and claimed he was just promoting the fight. Colby Covington complained that the UFC shows no interest in him, doesn't promote him, and doesn't book him for important events like the White House fight, though he still wants to compete and is open to spending his final fighting years in RAF.
