TAMPA — Mike Perry is making his presence felt ahead of his fight against Jake Paul. Perry made sure of that on Wednesday at the Paul vs. Perry open workouts when he knocked over Paul’s mascot and ignited a minor stir after the mascot approached the BKFC star with a thumbs down during Perry’s in-ring interview. The entire scene can be watched above and appeared to be in good fun.

Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko are dead even when it comes to their featherweight fighters. This week’s episode of The Ultimate Fighter 32 featured the final quarterfinal matchup of the 145-pound tournament, which saw Team Grasso’s Mairon Santos (13-1) win a hard-fought split decision over Team Bullet’s Edwin Cooper Jr. (6-1).

WBA#11 Riku Masuda (5-1, 5 KOs), 117.75, scored a one-punch knockout over defending champ Fumiya Fuse (14-4, 3 KOs), 118, at 2:21 of the fourth round to wrest his Japanese bantamweight belt on Thursday in Tokyo, Japan. In a rematch of southpaws, Masuda repeated his triumph over Fuse following his victory by a seventh round kayo in May of the previous year. Masuda failed to win the national belt from Seiya Tsutsumi on points last August, and his conqueror renounced his title to pursue a world title shot. It was Fuse that acquired the vacant belt by stopping Taichi Sugimoto this April. The newly crowned Masuda, whose amateur mark was 52-14, 22 stoppages, is a hard-punching lefty prospect under Teiken Promotions.

For Chael Sonnen, Max Holloway vs. Ilia Topuria is the UFC’s best-kept secret. Sources differ as to when the fight will happen. A French-Canadian UFC broadcast partner leaked the matchup to headline UFC 306 at the Las Vegas Sphere. However, Ariel Helwani refuted it, claiming UFC 307 at Salt Lake City is the venue. Nonetheless, recent developments in the fight game have made Sonnen think Topuria is out of the fight and Holloway will put his BMF title on the line against a former opponent.

Saturday’s tripleheader is now down to two title fights and a makeshift matchup. Kosei Tanaka will no longer move forward with his WBO flyweight title defense versus Mexico’s Jonathan Rodriguez. The development is through no fault of Tanaka (20-1, 11 knockouts), who made weight for their scheduled 12-round bout. Rodriguez (25-2-1, 17 KOs) was miserably over the 115-pound limit, having missed weight by nearly seven pounds.

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.
