- Big news: @MikeTyson is coming back. He will fight @RealRoyJonesJr in an eight-round exhibition match. Heard there will be boxer vs MMA fighters on undercard. Looks like it will be in Cali. Don't have the date yet.
- Ran into @JonnyBones in the hotel lobby and he said @TheNotoriousMMA sent him and his team a bunch of Proper 12 whiskey!
- Makhachev just said Khabib comes to the U.S. to help everyone and he rents the house for the team and doesn't take any money for it. "He does a lot of stuff nobody knows about"
- Incredible toughness! @mocainoufc fought second round of fight with severely damaged shoulder #ufcparis
- Just spoke to Hunter Campbell at UFC. The Costa-Vettori fioght is now at 205 pounds. Both fighters have signed deals to fight at that weight. It’s getting ridiculous, but this is Paulo Costa, ladies and gentlemen. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible.
- Dana White just told me that when Khamzat brought Li over to him, he was saying, Who's next? I'll fight anyone. Give me Brock Lesnar, I don't care. #UFC267
- Just spoke to @danawhite and he said @KChimaev “is special” and wants to fight again on Aug. 15 at #UFC252. He said he’ll make that happen.
- BREAKING: Jiri Prochazka PUT of UFC 282 with serious injury. Glover turned down title fight. Jiri vacated. New main event is Blachowicz vs Ankalaev. Story soon on @YahooSports
- Think how much better of a place this world would be if there were a lot more people in it like Mama Woodley. What a class act."It's all good, baby. It's all good. It's your turn. It ain't his turn." @Usman84Kg & Woodley's mother shared a beautiful moment backstage after #UFC235. Watch the full episode of 'Thrill & Agony' ➡️ bit.ly/2NJvpp0
