Johnny Eblen explains why he was angry going into the Bryan Battle fight: “I just thought I deserved a rematch [with Costello van Steenis] right away, and I didn’t get that. I had to get another fight and secure an impressive win. I’d just had a long layoff, man....

.Benoît "God of War" Saint Denis on his incredible 3-fight win streak in 2025 after 2 straight losses in 2024: "I knew I would come back. I was just depressed that it would take me so long. You don't get the opportunity to fight as much as you want. This is not football or basketball—you cannot prove people wrong every week. I had some disrespect, on my part, and a lack of humility to come into a fight with health problems. And then the Moicano fight—I came without a coach and without tactics. Between the 1st and the 2nd round, I already knew that I was an absolute idiot and that I had a lot of changes to make."

"If you're a real man, bro, you'll run it back with me. You watched that fight & you watched those first 3 rounds, I dominated you. It's just frustrating, cause as a man, I wouldn't wanna win that way. I would wanna win by completely dominating you, not having a flute victory like he did." Johnny Eblen sends a message to Costello Van Steenis 👀

“Adriano Moraes, eye to eye, man to man, you and I both know you lost that fight. At the end of the day, you had to cheat to get that W. I know you’re going to run from this fight. You’re going to have to get this work, and we’re going to find out who really won.” Turbo 🇿🇦 calls for a rematch against Adriano Moraes.

Justin Gaethje says he’ll never back down from a chance to stand and bang - just like he did with Max Holloway. “I fought a bad fight, and I was in a position where I was going to lose. And once he granted me that opportunity to go out and knock him out to win the competition, I was never going to turn that opportunity down. That’s the sole reason I showed up - for the chance to win. I understood I was losing, and with that opportunity, I had no choice. I’d do it a hundred times over.” (Via ESPN MMA )

Kron Gracie discusses his departure from the UFC: “I wanted to stay… I wanted to fight right away. I’ve never wanted to fight so fast after a fight ever in my life. I felt like I had a bad fight. I made a mistake, and I was so close in so many different ways, fighting a top-15 guy. After the fight I was like, man, I just made a simple mistake that I could fix like that. It was a bummer not being able to get right back in and show that I’m a lot better than that, because that performance was weak.”

Brandon Royval details the exhaustive preparation that went into his fight with Lone'er Kavanagh: "I was subscribed to Lone'er Kavanagh's emails, bro. There wasn't a rock left unturned. Most of our fight took place in his corner, and one thing that helped me out was hearing his corner say, 'The kicks aren't there. Go to the head with the kick.' The moment he went for a head kick, I just stepped in with a punch, and I was like, 'Sick.' I recognized the voices because I pay attention to all their YouTube videos and all their fighters. I just thought this was such a big fight, and Lone'er Kavanagh is so good. I have so much respect for him, and I had so many nerves going into this fight. I just wanted to make sure everything was in order, bro."

Jon Jones says Dana White bought him a Bentley when he was just 25 to convince him to take another fight... and he ended up crashing it. 🤯 "Dana White gave me a Bentley when I was 25 years old, and I crashed it. I was way too young to have that car. I had just fought, and Dana wanted me to fight again four weeks later, but I didn't want to. He was just like, 'What can I do to get you to fight? What car do you want?'" ( via ALF Global )

Eddie Hall explains how the Tommy Fury fight came to be: “Tommy’s dad and I had a few untoward words, and I basically said, ‘Look, I’ll f***ing slap any of you f***ers all over the place.’ Before I knew it, I had a contract to fight Tommy. I guess he’s putting his youngest son up as a sacrifice to defend the Fury name for now, and it might move him up the ranks after that—we’ll see. I wanted to get a fight with Tyson Fury… I saw he was doing quite a bit of MMA training, and it just put a ring in my ear. I was pressuring John a bit, and he didn’t want any of it. He just snapped. He’s obviously a bit sensitive about it.”

Walz: So if you are feeling deflated, discouraged today, I get it. Take some time. Take care of yourselves. And get back in this fight when you are ready. And know that whenever you are ready to get back in that fight, I will be standing right here, ready to fight with you.

#LingOrm #หลิงออม #ศึก12ราศี #หลิงหลิงคอง #linglingkwong : And what about your dog? How did you feel when he passed away? Ling: I was so sad : Are you a dog person? Ling: Very. He was like my family. It felt like I had lost a family member. I was so sad that I could barely work but I had to pull myself together and work : Was he with you for a long time? Ling: A very long time, about 13 yrs : What breed was he? Ling: A Golden Retriever. My mom brought him over when I moved to Thailand because she was afraid I’d get lonely. I lowkey feel guilty that I didn’t time for him. For the past 2 years, I’ve been only working so I barely had time to go home since he lived in another province : Did you get to visit him when he got sick? Ling: I felt like if I didn’t go see him, I’d feel really guilty deep down. So I booked (a flight) right away. As soon as I finished work, I went there, and then I came back the next morning and went straight to work

Merab Dvalishvili opens up about his loss to Petr Yan for the bantamweight title, saying he was still fatigued from his active schedule and believes he had the wrong game plan heading into the fight 👀 “I was trying something else, and I made little mistakes. I was training hard for this fight, I even had 2 months between fights after fighting Cory Sandhagen. I only had 2 months, I was training hard, not smart…” “When you fight against Petr, you have to have a different gameplan…”

🚨😬 Darren Till says the viral pub KO video with bare-knuckle fighter Lee Browne was pre-agreed for promotion, to build up a potential fight in the future: 🗣️ Darren Till: "Lee's been after me for a while now, and he wanted to fight on Gorilla. I said, you're not going to get a fight with me right away right now." "So I said, look, come to Gorilla, we'll have a little bit of back and forth inside and outside." "I gave him a little slap or two, he threw a shot and I think he threw a bottle of water and it just nicked me. And obviously outside I gave him a little slap. So I think like we've done our job, you know, and we're going to be putting him on Gorilla. We're going to be getting him two good fights on there, and if he comes to us, that's a showdown that we can potentially have." 🎥 Full Mount MMA
