It doesn't make sense to me, it definitely doesn't make sense to the fans. They're upsetting their hardcore fanbase, and it's just sad. It's like they're checking out. It's like they made their money with Paramount, they're like whatever, 'We're just gonna throw s-t at the wall and we're gonna tell everybody it's filet mignon.' At the end of the day, RAF 7 is gonna be a bigger and more prominent event than the White House event.
We both know who chickened out here. You can cover your cowardice with nasty tweets, but don't worry, one day you will get what you asked for! and your fat ass manager don't have to ask for billions to fight me, we'll do it for free.

They hate it. They tell me not to ever do that. They tell me to run away... I'm like, 'Coaches, I love you guys, but you came up with the game plan. You made me fight this way the whole fight - just give me these 10 seconds, please. And if I'm a jackass in those 10 seconds then you can tell me what it is.' But they hate it.
We did everything in our power and it wasn't enough. I just have to admit that he is better. He moves well to the left and right. I'm not the first person to lose twice to him in a title fight, so I'm quite calm about it.
Women's flyweight action kicked off UFC Houston at the Toyota Center on Saturday, as TUF champ Juliana Miller took on Carli Judice. Winner of The Ultimate Fighter 30, Miller still had under ten fights of pro experience, and entered off a win over Ivana Petrović. Judice was 2-1 under the UFC banner to start the night, in a match-up that was very much grappler versus striker.
"Thank God he's built me to overcome every obstacle I've faced and that will be the story once again," Finney wrote. "I tore my ACL and my both of my meniscus within my knee. Got me into surgery the next day. [Doctor] said it's insane I was able to fight tearing that 15 seconds into the fight."
The lone heavyweights on the UFC Vegas 113 card, Rizvan Kuniev and Jailton Almeida faced off in Las Vegas in what was a huge opportunity for Russia's Kuniev. With original opponent Ryan Spann out, Kuniev received a serious upgrade, going from the unranked Spann to #6-ranked Almeida. For a fighter who had struggled to stay active in the UFC, it was a major blessing for Kuniev, if he could capitalize.
Souza, the shorter fighter, took this one to the fence in the opening minute, one hand wrapped around Brasil's thigh. She couldn't land the takedown, and Brasil reversed, only to be reversed again. Several minutes ticked off the clock in this position, and when they did hit the mat, it was Brasil in control for just a moment before they popped back up.
Evloev was scheduled to welcome former Bellator MMA star Aaron Pico to the UFC last August at UFC 319. However, Evloev pulled out of the matchup with hardly over two weeks to go before fight night. Evloev recently revealed that he was forced out of the fight due to coronavirus, the same virus responsible for the worldwide lockdown in 2020-21. Evloev claims he was affected by the virus in Thailand and decided to pull out when even easy exercises made him feel terrible.
