Pereira hints at retirement; Garry promises more title defenses than Makhachev; Hill calls out Pavlovich

Alex Pereira suggested he may be considering retirement, saying he is now apprehensive about returning to competition after recent events inside the cage and believes he has accomplished what he set out to do. Ian Garry declared that as welterweight champion he would defend the title far more frequently than Islam Makhachev, predicting Makhachev's next defense could come as late as July 2027. Meanwhile, Murtazali Magomedov made an impressive UFC debut on the recent Fight Night card, and Leon Shahbazyan was stopped in just 23 seconds.
