Kamaru Usman doesn’t understand why MMA fans act the way that they do sometimes. The former UFC welterweight champion is on the path to returning to the octagon for the first time since losing a short-notice competitive decision to Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 294 this past October. Usman and new 170-pound champion Belal Muhammad have been going back-and-forth on social media since UFC 304 in July.

Demetrious Johnson isn’t officially done with his MMA career, but he might be close. One of the most accomplished fighters in MMA history, Johnson holds a number of UFC records, including most consecutive title defenses (11), amassed when he ruled the flyweight division from 2012 to 2018. After losing the title to Henry Cejudo at UFC 227, Johnson then got traded to ONE Championship, where he’s spent the past six years and is the current flyweight champion. However, Johnson has not competed since winning his trilogy fight against Adriano Moraes back in May of 2023, and apparently “Mighty Mouse” isn’t focused on returning any time soon either.

Robert Whittaker has some words of caution for Alex Pereira. At UFC 305, Dricus du Plessis made the first successful defense of his middleweight title by stopping former two-time champion Israel Adesanya. It was an impressive win that caught the attention of former middleweight champion and current light heavyweight champion Pereira, who suggested post-fight that he might make a return to 185 pounds to square off with du Plessis. But Whittaker says Pereira shouldn’t view du Plessis as an easy mark.

On Tuesday afternoon, insider X account @WrestleVotes reported that WWE planned to move their Orlando-based Performance Center to Las Vegas. Obviously, this shocked fans, considering that the Performance Center has been in Florida for over a decade. However, Fightful Select has now shot down this story, claiming this announcement hasn’t been made, and their sources at the Performance Center were never informed. When it was first reported, it did seem plausible that TKO would want to combine the WWE Performance Center and the UFC Performance Institute in Nevada for cost-saving reasons. Yet, it looks like @WrestleVotes has been fed false information, although it should be noted that they stand by their initial report as of writing.

“GM3” did it again last night, and everyone knows exactly what that means: he once again landed a slick submission as an underdog. More specifically, he did so after taking a bit of an ass-kicking and looking like he was in a world of hurt. Few play spoiler better than Meerschaert, who once again tapped out a more athletic and younger opponent in Edmen Shahbazyan.
