Mackenzie Dern addresses criticism surrounding the legitimacy of her championship: "I don't see any champions saying that... The people saying that are obviously people who've never been a champion in fighting. There's only so much you can do. I mean, that's what they gave me... It doesn't really bother me."

🇺🇸😅 Dana White says he won't let Jon Jones fight at the UFC White House card because he didn't keep his word and fight Aspinall: "I had a deal with him.. we had a deal to fight Tom Aspinall. And then he said, ‘You know what, I’m not going to do it.’ He didn’t want to do it. Well, I can’t be in that position. We gotta have someone that.." 🎥 Andrew Schulz 👑HEZI

Mackenzie Dern is candid about how she thinks her UFC 330 performance would have matched up with Zhang Weili: "I don't think Zhang Weili has that good of grappling. I don't think her defense is that good. I don't know... MMA math are so crazy. But just my cardio and endurance... I would not want to fight Zhang Weili feeling the way I felt in that fight."

Mackenzie Dern discusses why her first title defense is against Gillian Robertson instead of Zhang Weili: "I can't give you that response. I don't know. They were talking about Weili. They mentioned Macau, then the White House, then New Jersey, so I'm not sure what happened. I'm not sure what the deal with Weili is or what's going on. I definitely wasn't disappointed. I'd be excited to fight her, but I don't feel any pressure to do so. It would be an honor, and I'd really like to test myself. It would be amazing to beat her, but if I have six more months—or however many title fights I can get in—to keep getting better and be even more prepared to fight her, I'm excited for that."

"[Jon Jones should have fought] just to be nice to Tom? The Ultimate Fighting Charity, it is not. It's a very selfish sport. Everyone's like, if Jon knew he was gonna retire, he should have retired after the Miocic fight, but it's like, why would he do that? In combat sports, the second you retire, your trajectory is down. It'll never go back up. For the last, however long since that fight, he's getting 8 months of endorsement deals. He's getting 8 months of promotion as being the heavyweight champion of the world. Should he have kicked himself in the nuts? Retired straight away? And then no one cares anymore. The second you retire, people just completely lose interest." Dan Hooker on Jon Jones' decision to not fight Tom Aspinall.

Tom Aspinall's father expresses his frustration over waiting for the Jon Jones fight: "It's stupid. I have no idea the reason why the UFC don't want Tom to fight anybody else other than Jon Jones. 'Stay tuned'. That's the message they wanted Tom to give out to people... we're in April now, still waiting for [Jon] to say 'I'll have a fight' or 'I'll not have a fight'. I don't really understand that. He's a fighter who should be having fights. Why's [Jon] still sat around not giving an answer as to whether he's gonna fight or not." 🎥 Tom Aspinall #UFC #MMA

Renato Moicano says Arman Tsarukyan not fighting Islam Makhachev messed up the entire lightweight division👀 "I don't feel that is fair. Who did he beat in the division? When I fought Makhachev, Arman was supposed to fight for the title and he f**ked up the division. If Arman fought that night, the division would keep going, but now we have Topuria going through a divorce, he doesn't want to fight. They have Gaethje vs Pimblett - for me, this is going to be a paper champ. It doesn't make any sense to do an interim belt because Topuria would be the champ anyways." (Via: Emiel Sardarean)

Tom Aspinall is the new UFC heavyweight champion. This is something that should have happened 2 years ago when he beat Sergei Pavlovich at MSG. That's really how this should have been handled from the beginning. Jon Jones couldn't fight in November of 2023. They called Tom Aspinall to save the day. He fought on 2 weeks notice. He should have been the champion on that night. Tom Aspinall should be approaching the two-year anniversary of his reign.

🚨 Sean Strickland says he turned down the fight against Anthony Hernandez at #UFC325 in Sydney because he doesn't want to fight in Australia "Yes, I did say no to the Australia card. Fluffy don't wanna do it, I don't wanna do it, we ain't doing it. Let's get this sh*t booked in the States. The middleweight division is on f***ing ice. You got Chimaev the little wh*re. He has Ramadan, then he has a surgery, then he's gonna fight Nassourdine in a year and just dry hump him. The middleweight division doesn't exist. I'd be better off trying to fight for a 205 belt than the middleweight belt." (via Sean Strickland)

Din Thomas hints at Tom Aspinall vs Ciryl Gane as Jon Jones holds off waiting for more info before accepting the fight 👀🥊 "I think they convinced Tom Aspinall to fight Ciryl Gane. Jon wants to collect as much information on Tom Aspinall as possible. We haven’t really seen him in a lot of tough spots, we don’t know how he’s going to respond to that. Jon wants to see a couple more fights to get more information before saying yes to the Tom Aspinall fight." Full Video: Mike Bohn

Henry Cejudo suggests Jon Jones vs Alex Pereira for the BMF could steal the White House spotlight 🏛️👀 "Jon Jones vs Alex Pereira for the BMF at heavyweight. You wanna have an American headline the White House? Okay, Jones is not gonna fight Tom Aspinall, that’s fine, but let him fight the next big thing. Pereira is a bigger name than Tom Aspinall. Now, with Alex Pereira winning, it resurrects that fight once again. And then that’s Jon Jones’ last fight, and maybe it could be Alex Pereira’s last fight as well" (via Pound 4 Pound )

In November, the Brazilians will start cutting. They don't need us. What bargaining power are we gonna have then?

JJ Redick: "Guys will say they want to win. The care factor, to me is like, "do I care enough to actually do what I'm supposed to do and just do it consistently.' And that's really what the championship habits are. And that's what we don't have right now."

Jon Jones says fighting Alex Pereira and Tom Aspinall would be "the same fight", but he prefers fighting Alex since it's better for his legacy 👀 "I think it would be the same story if I got Tom to the ground as it would be if I got Pereira to the ground. To me it's the same fight. They both are strong on their feet, hit very hard, and both have holes in the grappling. Now it's more of a matter of legacy, what would make more sense. Do you fight the guy who is impressive right now, who no one is gonna really care about a few years from now? Or do you fight the guy who's gonna be remembered around the world for a very long time?"
