Mokaev vs Rosas Jr. Bout at ADXC 6 Canceled, Dana Gets the Blame

Jon Jones Congratulates Francis Ngannou on PFL KO

Jon Jones has been paying attention to Francis Ngannou and congratulated him on his PFL win: 

"What an amazing job Francis did tonight, displayed a complete MMA game. Great kicks, great takedowns. It feels good to see him shine. Wow congratulations Champ, I see you."

Ngannou told Ariel Helwani he thinks there's a chance of the two of them facing off. “There’s a chance. On a level of 1 to 10, I can’t tell how many, but I know there’s a chance. Basically, I know that fight also interests Turki, and not many things have resisted him.” 

Idris Abdurashidov DQ'd for Knockout Head Kick... in Boxing Match

ONE Featherweight Idris Abdurashidov needs to read the rules if he wants to keep boxing. This was a nice KO, though!

Donald Cerrone Wants to Reach 50 Fights

The Cowboy is coming out of retirement to aim for two more fights, hoping to reach the most wins, finishes, bonuses, and fights under the WEC and UFC. He explained, "The No. 50 [Zuffa] has been sitting on my mind for a while. So, I've been working with Transcend for the last two years, taking [testosterone-replacement therapy] and a bunch of peptides." 

Cerrone is confident he needs a couple of months to "come off and piss clean." Let's see how the UFC's anti-drug policies treat him.

. THE HEAT .

Brendan Schaub Will Snap Diaz's Neck

Schaub may normally turn the other cheek to insults, but Nate Diaz nicknaming him "Brendan 'the big ol pussy' Schaub" was enough to get a response. “Oooh buddy. I probably got 20 pounds on you, so not too far off. I’ll snap your neck. Set up a grappling match and let me know how it goes for you. Have one of your handlers read this tweet and get back to me.”

So... which promotions' gonna make this happen?

Ilia Topuria on "Fake Champion" Belal Muhammad

Ilia Topuria explained his plans to become a triple champ: "Maybe after this one it could be to move up to the lightweight division, and if we still have that fake champion in the welterweight division, Belal, that's an easy one for me."

Tom Aspinall: "The Elite Guys Aren't in PFL"

Francis Ngannou may have impressed Jon Jones, but Tom Aspinall doesn't see the PFL in the same way. He told Ariel Helwani, "The guy he's fighting is not elite [...], and the guys he'll be fighting in the future aren't elite, and it's simple as that. These aren't the best guys in the world." He added, "The elite guys aren't in PFL. The elite guys are in the UFC."

. THE BONUS .

Here’s an interesting look at Mike Tyson’s training. Along with all the conditioning and sparring, Mike also makes sure to strengthen his neck. A strong neck is able to better absorb head shots. That is… if Jake manages to get one in. 🤣💥

. THAT’S ALL .

That’s all for now.

See you on the next edition.
