Quick read

Alex Pereira has hinted at a possible retirement, stating he is now afraid to return to competition after what happened to him inside the cage. "Honestly, I'm scared to come back after what happened. I think I've already done my part," Pereira said. Meanwhile, Ian Garry vowed to defend the welterweight title more frequently than Islam Makhachev if he becomes champion, claiming Islam fights only once a year and that his next defense could come as late as July 2027.
