Mike Perry, former UFC fighter and current BKFC fist league fighter, has once again challenged Darren Till, former UFC middleweight.
"Darren Till! You fat fucking dog, get your ass over here or I'm out in the UK. Nate Diaz is fighting Jorge Masvidal in some fucking battle of the coasts. We should fight," Perry stated.
It's worth noting that Perry defeated Thiago Alves in the main event of BKFC's No. 61 and has since challenged Till.
Till last appeared in the octagon in December 2022. Then he lost by submission to Dricus Du Plessis. This defeat was the third consecutive loss for the British fighter.
UFC ranked lightweightMichael Chandler has spoken out about his upcoming fight with Conor McGregor, the promotion's former two weight class champion.
"The most likely scenario is I'm going to go out there and completely dismantle him, and that's probably the last time we'll see Conor fight. I can't lose to a guy who's been out for three years. I can't lose to a guy who's been written off. I can't lose to a guy who gave up and is sleeping on silk sheets on his Lamborghini yacht. I can't lose to that guy," Chandler said on The MMA Hour program.
Recall, the fight Chandler - McGregor will take place on June 29 in the framework of the tournament UFC 303 in Las Vegas (USA).
Arman Tsarukyan, the No. 1 ranked light heavyweight in the UFC, admitted that he would like to have a bout with the organization's former two-weight champion Conor McGregor.
"Of course it's possible. If Conor beats Chandler now and I win the title, it could be that we fight. I have to make a name, though, and I'm going to make it on McGregor. A fight with Conor is very good for the media. Khabib, on the other hand, made a name for himself on Conor," Tsarukyan stated.
Tsarukyan had his last fight on April 14. As part of the 300th anniversary event, Arman won a split decision over former promotion lightweight champion Charles Oliveira.
Arman Tsarukyan, the UFC lightweight title challenger, responded to a question about whether he would be mentally tough going into a rematch with Islam Makhachev, the organization's featherweight champion.
"No, not at all. It's morally hard to fight a close friend or relative. As far as the others - no difference at all. Pavlovic and Volkov trained together, know each other well, are friends. We have a history of confrontation. Let's see who will be better this time," Tsarukyan said.
Earlier Tsarukyan said that it is not necessary to make a superhero and invincible fighter out of Makhachev, remember that Islam has already lost.
Makhachev and Tsarukyan have already met in the octagon, and then Islam beat Arman by unanimous decision of judges.
Arman Tsarukyan, a top UFC lightweight, spoke out about a rematch with the organization's champion in the division, Islam Makhachev.
"It's rare very rare. If I don't see him, I don't remember him. In principle, I don't remember the fights I lost. We have to go out and fight, interrupt him on the counter. You have to put the right game plan and beat him. That's it. I already tried that. I tried to move him, spent a lot of energy on it, even though I was much better in the standup. There's no point. It's better not to think of anything, to try to beat him in the stand-up. Of course, you have to show that you're going to go through on the feet. But even if you do, it's better to let him go, so as not to lose strength. The preparation is all the same. It's the people in their heads who have made up in their heads that Islam is special. The same person, and they made him an undefeated champion. Although he lost too, he was knocked out too. We are all human beings, we can all lose. There is no need to make an undefeated superhero out of Makhachev...," Tsarukyan said.
Traditionally, the UFC promotion gives out bonuses after each of its tournaments. UFC On ESPN 55, which took place this morning in Las Vegas, was no exception. Bogdan Guskov, Alex Perez, Jonatha Diniz and Uros Medich each received $50,000 in bonuses, winning the "Performance of the Night" category. That said, none of the card's bouts were recognized as the "Fight of the Night."
Alex Perez won by second-round knockout over Mateus Nicolau in the main event of the tournament. And Bogdan Guskov in the co-main event won by TKO in the second round against Ryan Spann.
Recall, the next tournament will be numbered, UFC 301, and will be held on May 4 in Rio de Janeiro.
Arman Tsarukyan, a top UFC lightweight, named his most misunderstood purchase.
"My first more or less big fee that I earned in MMA, I invested in a watch. I love watches, and then I got 7 or 6 thousand dollars for the fight. I immediately bought a Ulysse Nardin, but I don't remember the specific model. I also had to call my father and asked him for 2 thousand dollars, so that it would be enough. Perhaps it was the most incomprehensible purchase, such a watch could not have been bought. Well, imagine, I spent all the money I earned on a watch. That's weird. I always consult my father, and then he let me have it. He said: "If you want it, of course you can have it." Maybe I bought it because I already had money. I didn't think about where to live, what to drive. I knew that if I bought the watch, I would not be left without money. That's why I got it. But I don't advise young guys to do that. Especially if you don't have a lot of money and you have to pay for a car, an apartment, training.

Joe Rogan, a longtime UFC commentator, revealed that the organization's current featherweight champion Elijah Topuria did not want a rematch with Alex Volkanovski, the organization's former champion in the division, at UFC 305, which takes place Aug. 17 in Perth.
"I don't know who he wants to fight next, but I think he feels like a champion and thinks he can pick his fights. I know he turned down a rematch with Volkanovski at UFC 305," Rogan said on his YouTube channel.
The fight between Elijah Topuria and Alex Volkanovski took place in February of this year, ending with Topuria winning by knockout in the second round.
