Former UFC interim welterweight champion Colby Covington of the United States spoke about his attitude toward his fellow countryman, the promotion's lightweight division titleholder Sean O'Malley.
"I don't have any friends in the UFC. But I have a lot of respect for O'Malley. He's not afraid to dye his hair, he doesn't care what people think of him. He doesn't care about that. Sean goes out there and just shows who he is. Great, all-time great. He's got a great, unique style that a lot of fighters don't have," Covington said on The Rush With Maxx Crosby podcast.
As a reminder, O'Malley defeated Marlon Vera by unanimous decision on March 9 at UFC 299 in his last fight.
Vice-President of the National League of professional boxing of Ukraine Alina Shaternikova shared expectations from the upcoming fight between Vasyl Lomachenko and George Kambososos.
"We'll see how the fight will go. But it will definitely not be a "one-gate" fight, it will be a great fight, and, in my opinion, there is intrigue. The confrontation itself is very interesting for me. In the percentage ratio will not give a prediction, but I have no other opinion, I root exclusively for Lomachenko and hope for his victory," - said Shaternikova.
Recall that Lomachenko and Kambososos will fight on May 12 in the main event of the boxing show in Perth, Australia. At stake will be the vacant IBF belt in the lightweight category.
Retired American mixed martial arts veteran Juraya Faber shared his thoughts on the fight between UFC flyweight champion Sean O'Malley and Merab Dvalishvili.
According to the latest information, the fight between the American and the Georgian could take place on September 14 at UFC 306.
"It's hard to say, but it's definitely going to be a tough fight. No one has been able to stop Merab's fight, not even Henry Cejudo. Honestly, it's a bad fight for O'Malley as Merab is tough and resilient. He came out against the real killers in this division and calmly fended off their best attacks. The real damage was when he hit his own head on the ice.
But there's something special about O'Malley. He's got finesse. He's got the style of a matador. Merab is definitely a real fighter, so if Shawn can put up the perfect fight, he's just going to throw him accurate punches and stay on the sidelines. O'Malley is really good at grappling. I've had the opportunity to train with some of his partners - they're really top-notch guys. They know how to fight, they know jiu-jitsu. So it's hard for me to speak unequivocally about the winner," MMA Junkie quoted Faber as saying.
Czech welterweight Jiri Prochazka has spoken out about a possible rematch with the organization's current featherweight champion Alex Pereira.
"I haven't heard anything. Now it's up to the UFC when they want to make this fight. But I have the belief to win. I will show in the octagon that I am capable of regaining this belt in a fight with Alex Pereira. We just have to wait for the decision on this upcoming fight. I don't have a clue who will be next. But I think the world will want to see our rematch. Besides, I have the weapons necessary to win. Now I should just take a few weeks and get some rest. Get inspired. I'm thinking about coming back in August. Maybe October. But honestly, it doesn't matter to me. If they want me to do some fight on short notice, then chase it. If Alex takes part in UFC 303, then I'll agree," MMA Mania quoted Jiri as saying.
