"First of all, there are only eight weight classes, so how's there going to be nine title fights? [Laughs]" Rogan said on his podcast. "[In a Trump voice] "We're gonna have 20 title fights! All the title fights that's ever been!" In fact, there are 11 weight classes in the UFC, eight men's weight classes and three women's, plus the ceremonial "BMF" belt. However, Rogan's point remains that it's unlikely the event will actually feature that many title fights, which would shatter the previous event record of three, which has happened nine times before. And, for Rogan, what's more important than loading the event with title fights is making sure one specific fighter does compete at the event....

3+ hour, 25+ min ago (388+ words) O'Malley reacts to Yan laughing off a potential second fight as bantamweight title picture shifts. The bantamweight landscape changed quickly after UFC 323. Petr Yan regained the title by defeating Merab Dvalishvili, and with that result came new conversations about who stands next in line. Sean O'Malley suddenly finds himself close to that conversation again. His upcoming fight against Song Yadong at UFC 324 now carries added weight, as a strong performance could place him back in position for another title opportunity. O'Malley's place in the discussion is tied to history. While he suffered consecutive title losses to Dvalishvili, he also holds a narrow decision victory over Yan from UFC 280. That result has continued to surface whenever Yan's future opponents are discussed. When asked about the possibility of revisiting that matchup, Yan showed no interest and delivered pointed remarks shortly after his…...

3+ hour, 56+ min ago (394+ words) Merab Dvalishvili spent much of the year competing at a pace few champions attempt. Multiple high-level fights, repeated training camps, and the pressure of championship expectations defined his 2025 stretch. That momentum came to a halt at UFC 323, where Dvalishvili challenged Petr Yan in a bantamweight title rematch. Despite his effort, he came up short in a unanimous decision, losing the belt and ending one of the most active runs in recent division history. Watching the outcome, Michael Bisping focused less on rankings and more on long-term well-being. While acknowledging Dvalishvili's accomplishments, Bisping suggested patience rather than an immediate return. "Merab probably deserves the rematch if we're being honest," Bisping said on his YouTube channel. "Look at the body of work then yeah, he probably does, but there's Umar Nurmagomedov out there. I would say let Yan defend for a minute....
