Alex Pereira has hinted he may be done competing, saying he is now apprehensive about returning to the cage and believes he has already accomplished what he set out to do. Ian Garry pledged to defend the welterweight title more frequently than Islam Makhachev if he wins the belt, noting Makhachev fights only once a year. The UFC also unveiled new AI-generated rankings, which placed Jiri Prochazka 15th at light heavyweight compared to fourth in the traditional media rankings, with the older rankings set to remain alongside the new system.
