"I do hate him," Morales told Alvaro Colemenoro. "We don't have a very good vibe. But at the end of the day, he's still a fighter. I'm not gonna get overconfident if I had to prepare myself to fight him... That fight is gonna be intense if it happens... I think that if I were to fight him, it would be the first time that I would fight in a very aggressive way."

Makhachev's cryptic response to a photo of Morales and Topuria, featuring a telephone emoji, hints at a potential matchup with one of them next.

Fun video today from Eric Sim, a former Giants minor leaguer who has since made a name for himself in the baseball-connected content world.

"About the decision, about the fight, nobody stay happy. I think the only people who stay happy about the decision is my opponent and his team. The president is making the right choice with that, that's protecting the image of the company and not tainting their legacy and the sport."

With a perfect 11-0 record that includes eight finishes, and the chance to fight in his hometown at The O2 Arena, Pinto has all the motivation in the world to go out and deliver a big performance on Saturday night as he plans to do two things: make himself happy with his performance, and issue a warning to the heavyweight division that a talented new threat is on his way.

Since the announcement last September that Mayweather and Tyson were set to meet in an exhibition this year, details surrounding the event have been scarce. There have been no updates regarding where the fight will be broadcast/streamed, and sources close to the event told ESPN that reports of an April 25 date in the Democratic Republic of Congo were 'extremely premature.'

I think they should keep [the BMF title]. But the only thing about the BMF title, you gotta run it tournament-wise, open weight class. Any person that wants to sign up for it, you can fight for it. But you can fight heavyweight, you can fight flyweight, it don't matter... But you really prove that you're the baddest motherf--er.

For sure, this is a title, this is a belt, the opportunity to take it down to Brazil, something that has never been done before by a Brazilian athlete. When I talk about legacy, and getting things, the records and everything else, that's what I'm talking about.

Last Thursday, Ed Soares, manager of UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira, made it clear in an exclusive interview with Sherdog.com that his athlete's next move has not yet been decided. He then analyzed all the possibilities, whether at light heavywweight - Khamzat Chimaev or Carlos Ulberg - or in a possible move to heavyweight against the likes of Jon Jones or Ciryl Gane.

Muhammad Mokaev has seemingly been invited back to the UFC, but not to compete in MMA. Mokaev (15-0) recently won the under-65 kilogram title at the English Senior Wrestling Championships in freestyle wrestling. Mokaev claims he has now been offered to fight jiu-jitsu ace Mikey Musumeci for a UFC BJJ title. "I have been offered to compete against Mikey Mussumeci for the UFC BJJ belt. What do you think guys?" Mokaev wrote on X.
