Quick read

Alex Pereira hinted at possible retirement, saying he is now afraid to return to fighting after recent events in the cage and believes he has already done his part. Ian Garry promised that as champion he would defend the welterweight title far more frequently than Islam Makhachev, who he noted fights approximately once a year. Dustin Poirier was detained by police for public intoxication on Father's Day weekend, with the incident occurring in Georgia where the charge can carry up to one year in prison. Undefeated Kyrgyz prospect Murtazali Magomedov also made a notable UFC debut over the weekend.
