Kape always talks big. Van's gonna make him prove it lol
Aljo says Pico calling him a ranking squatter is "bizarre" and fighting Pico doesn't get him any closer to the belt. He's got Vallejos next, per @MMAJunkie
Fair honestly. But as a wrestling guy I want Pico vs Aljo so bad lol

O'Malley says DC hit him up on IG after leaving him out of the Yan talk and told him he should fight for the title, per @arielhelwani
Sean thinks he's next and he's got the Song win this year. Yan vs O'Malley 2 makes sense to me
Sean O'Malley reveals Daniel Cormier reached out to him after not mentioning his name as a potential next opponent for Petr Yan during the post-fight interview:
“DC messaged me on Instagram. He said, ‘Hey, I do think that you should fight for the title.’
I messaged him back and said, ‘Hey bro, I don't take anything personal.’
Even if Daniel Cormier thought Song was deserving, I wouldn't care.
We ended up talking last night. He said he thinks I'm deserving, he thinks I should be next and all that. It was good. It was cordial.
I definitely have felt before that DC had a little bias against me. Coming up, it felt like he kind of wanted to see me lose a little bit.
At one point I felt like that. Now I don't feel like that.
At the end of the day, commentating is a hard job. You're not always gonna say the right thing.”

Dakota Ditcheva says both hands are healed and she's back training, just waiting on a date. "I want my belt back." per @arielhelwani
Jena Bishop holding that belt is clearly eating at her lol. That fight's gotta be next
Dakota Ditcheva gives an update on her recovery after undergoing surgery on both hands:
“I'm good, I'm all clear. I'm back at training now, so yeah, I'm ready to go.
I'm just waiting for a date for the belt. I want my belt back.
I've been grappling for a few weeks now. I just kind of took my time a little bit with the striking. I haven't got a fight coming up, so I thought, let me just focus on the grappling.
I healed so quickly this time. It was like nine weeks since surgery, which is really quick."
Kavanagh says Conor's been going hard on his knee rehab and he doesn't think he's done fighting yet, per @arielhelwani. I'll believe it when I see him on a card lol
John Kavanagh shares his thoughts on Conor McGregor's fighting future:
"He's been very aggressive with his therapy and his recovery.
I just don't feel he's done with competition just yet. What does that look like? I don't know.
It's hard for me to visualize that being it.
Can he make another comeback and get back into that fight shape? If anybody can, he can."
