- Henry Cejudo has taken to Instagram to reveal that he is off the UFC 292 cardđ due to injury:
Some important news regarding my future...
Iâm unfortunately not going to be able to compete on August 19 at UFC 292. I got an MRI on my right shoulder that revealed a tear that requires 6-8 weeks of rehab.
I stretched it out as far as I could because I love that Chito matchup, but between my shoulder and my baby expected on October 25, itâs the best decision for me and my family to not fight in August.
Nothing changes with my future goals. I want my title back. When Iâm back to 100 percent, youâll see me in the Octagon again. But until then, I need to heal. I hope the UFC can find a replacement to fight Chito so he could stay on the card, I wouldâve loved to fight him in Boston on the 15-year anniversary of my gold medal. But Iâll be back.

- UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jamahal Hill doesnât think tâ±hat Alex Pereiraâs power will be the same at light heavyweightâŠ:
âHis power is not going to count for as much as it was at the middleweight division,â Hill said in an (transcript via ). âAt the middleweight division, whenever he hit them, they had to really, really address it. They couldnât really roll it off. It made it harder to counter just because of the kind of power that he carried at middleweight. I donât think thatâll be the same case at 205. He has to be more of a tactician.â

- Aljamain Sterling blasts Henry Cejudo for pulling out of UFC 292 fight aâgainst MarlêŠ on Vera:
âHenry Cejudo is out of this fight,â Sterling said on (transcript via ). ââThe savage, remember that? The savage? Texting Dana (White) saying, âIf that little p*ssy doesnât want to fight, Iâll take the fight?â Isnât it funny how the roles are reversed now, and this âlittle savageâ is no longer a savage? Very interesting.
âFor me, I call that being a dirty little weasel. You try to disparage my name in front of the fans and make it seem like I donât want to fight, whatever, âThe fight wasnât that bad of a fight, so you should be able to turn around.â Guys, Iâm telling you from experience, from a championship experience, defending multiple times⊠itâs very, very different getting ready for 25 minutes versus 15 minutes.â
- KSI lays into Tommy Fury over the difficult ânegotiations for their potential fight:
âWelp, ladies and gentlemen, I donât think this fight is happening anymore,â KSI said on (transcript via ). âTommy Fury is simply being difficult, making this four-month negotiation an absolute chore. We agreed on all terms, we agreed on paying you exactly what you asked for, we agreed the amount of rounds, we agreed to fight at 180 with no rehydration clause, we also agree to fight in your hometown, Manchester. We agreed on all of that and then you chose to move the goal posts yet again! Now youâre demanding that we fight at 185, or weâre not fighting at all!
âWhat the f*** is wrong with you? Youâre meant to be the fighter. Donât tell me youâre chatting s***, youâve literally said this in an interview. So why are you saying one thing in front of the camera and another thing behind the camera? You literally sound like Jake Paul, constantly just chatting bulls***, left, right, and center. Tommy, you fight at light-heavyweight! Thatâs 175lbs! But when it comes to fighting me, the YouTuber, it has to be 185lbs? Youâre the one thatâs been boxing his whole life! Youâre the one with the fighting family! Youâre the one with Fury as your surname! So what is this nonsense that youâre trying to pull off now?â
