Alexander Volkov explains why he thinks Dana White and the UFC “made things right” after his controversial loss to Ciryl Gane in 2024: "[Dana White] did good for me because you see how the fight with Cyril Gane and Thomas Aspinall went... He saved me from this, from all... the bad things Ciryl does with all the cheating. We don't know if he does it on purpose or not, but he do it in every fight... Maybe he can't fight clean, but this is not good that fight to fight he does the same things. They just put him on the title again with a guy who never fought in heavyweight, and he, again, started punching wrong place in the head. I don't know what the reasons why they don't make any penalties for his dirty things in the fight. We should think about it."show more

Unbelievable cope. The UFC has been fucking Volkov over for years, he should’ve been got a title shot. Josh Hokit beats 3 BBQ ass niggas and gets a title shot but Volkov beats multiple duds at the top of the division and still no title shot

It’s a solid point. Every fight, guaranteed

Alexander Volkov blasts to Ciryl Gane calling Tom Aspinall “mentally fragile”: “I can say the same about Gane, honestly. Watch his fight with Jon Jones. He just gave up before the fight. He does dirty things. He puts his finger in an opponent’s eye and then says, ‘This guy is mentally fragile because I poked him and he doesn’t want to fight.’ You cheated. That’s not within the rules. If he didn’t do this, if he just punched him hard or did something legal, then he could say that. But he created a situation where the champion needed surgery and now can’t fight. Then in another fight with Pereira, he started punching the back of the head. I can’t say he does it on purpose, but he keeps doing it.”

.Waldo Cortes believes Ciryl Gane will win the rematch against Tom Aspinall: "I think Tom is a little worried about Ciryl Gane. In this fight he looked amazing, looking on a different level than Aspinall. The jab was connecting very good. I think Tom Aspinall tasted blood too early in the round. I think he was pushing to not try and fight any more after the eye poke."

😳 Cory Sandhagen says Sean O'Malley is intentionally avoiding a fight with him and he will retire if he doesn't win the fight at the White House: "If he doesn't win this fight, I think he'll retire. If he doesn't get another title run or fights for a belt again, he's going to retire The whole 'I was never offered to fight Sandhagen' thing is just not how it works with the guy. Sean O'Malley gets asked who he wants next and he says. Any other answer than Cory Sandhagen is a cope out move. Me and him is the fight to make." 🎥 Home of Fight / James Lynch

They are building a UFC arena on the White House lawn so the president can watch men fight in a cage from the comfort of his home on his birthday. He does not know about the strange beasts stirring with in us. He does not know about the sharpening blades.

Jon thinks he's cooking with all of his latest tweets. He thinks he's having the greatest run on Twitter. What's really happening is he's cooking his own legacy. I'm not gonna use the 'ducking' because I don't like it, but for the supposed greatest fighter of all time to walk away because he doesn't want to fight one particular guy - the interim heavyweight champion. I think this speaks volumes because Jon is now campaigning for a Francis Ngannou fight, a fight that he could have had back in 2020 and he refused to take.

Tom Aspinall has his say on Alex Pereira vs Ciryl Gane and he is firmly in the Ciryl Gane camp on this one though does believe Alex could KO Gane he thinks it will be Gane that wins this. 🗣️“I think Ciryl can stop him as well, I think it would be later in the fight though I think it would be like round 4 or 5 because Ciryl’s fast faster than most light heavy’s and he’s a heavy really big guy as well.” 🗣️“I think he could systematically break him down most likely win on points but he could do a late stoppage as well in my opinion.” via Tom Aspinall official YouTube.

You guys can call me a Tom Aspinall truther bc I just found video evidence that Aspinall had an eye issue PRIOR to his fight with Ciryl Gane My best guess is he wanted the UFC to pay for his corrective eye surgery so he went into the fight with the pre-existing condition

👀🏆 Kamaru Usman reveals he tried to get the Islam Makhachev fight for a while, but believes negotiations between Topuria and Makhachev slowed things down He eventually took the Du Plessis fight as he believes it gets him towards a title “We all know the fight that I wanted [Islam], I wanted that fight. I think there was just a lot of back and forth stuff being done and now we hear all the stories of potentially they were tryna make Ilia vs Islam, and all of these things, and I wanted the Islam fight. So all of these things behind th scenes kinda dragged it on and dragged it on. Then DDP was mentioned… and I just need something that gets me to the title.” (via Pound 4 Pound)
